  1. Past hour
  2. Current record holder: Billsdouche Threads bumped in 24 hour window: 150
  3. Why? They spent a lot on the current field that is already installed. It would be very hard to believe the NFL wouldn’t notify teams these requirements are coming especially when there’s a team installing a field a month before the requirements are made public.
  4. When the Bills are playing well the snow during a game looks fantastic. That game vs Miami a few years ago when it turned into a whiteout in the second half and the Bills players were clearing the snow with their hands for the winning FG, ah that was magic
  5. Why have they made Mike look like George W Bush? I do love me some Jenna
  6. Thanks Simon, I've traveled up for this one today specifically in the hope it would be a "snow game". Been to many games but never a snow game. So looking forward to it. Going with my daughter and her husband , who are coming in from NYC this a.m. Go Bills.
  7. Come on boys, let's abdicate the royal down the field.
  8. So, IF Kincaid can go, then teamed with Shakir, Cooks & Cook and Shavers is a formidable receiver group! Add in an expected solid running game and at least we’re gonna score some points!
  9. Here we are 1. IU - only undefeated team 2. UGA - SEC champ who just demolished the team that beat them in Bama. They also have more quality wins than OSU. 3. OSU - lost to former No. 2 IU. No shame and they only drop a couple of slots. 4. Texas Tech - Their only loss was when their starting QB sat out a game.. 5-7 Miss, Oregon, Texas AM in some order. 8. Oklahoma 9. ND/Miami/Bama 10. ND/Miami/Bama 11. Tulane 12. JMU Now the debate - Miami beat ND, but lost to two mediocre teams. ND’s two losses are to TexAM and Miami, but the won 10 straight with a couple of decent wins. Bama’ has the best wins of the 3 including UGA, and Vandy, but lost to FSU, got demolished in the SEC Championship and has 3 losses now. I’d eliminate all 3 as none are worthy. Does head to head mean anything? Does playing a hard schedule mean anything? Dies playing for a losing a Conference title game mean anything even if you get dominated? IMHO ND should be out because they lost to Miami and played a nothing schedule.
  10. Today
  11. Big news! ‘The Visit!’ https://x.com/buffalobills/status/1997327673404567586?s=61
  12. It’s December! The tree 🎄 is up, it’s cold everywhere and Amazon has put the sleigh in full gear, delivering Xmas presents the world over. It’s also ‘Bills Season!’ as the team has been 18-3 including winning 12 of their last 13 games in this month! Yes, a 6th straight AFCE Championship appears out of reach for our battered bunch but we’re still in a playoff battle after the sterling performance last Sunday in Pittsburgh. Sadly, critical injuries continue to mount as we’ll be without Joey Bosa today with a pulled hamstring. It’s incredible for an old timer like me to think our AFL Champion teams of the mid 60’s started every player on Defense for 2 straight seasons and they were all GREAT players! Say what you will about the head coach, we’ve been injury riddled come playoff time EVERY YEAR! There are still a couple guys playing ‘lights out’ on D, but the cupboard is nearly empty! Christian Benford was named AFC DEFENSIVE PLAYER of the Week for his dramatic ‘scoop & score’ off Bosa’s sack/fumble of ‘Greybeard’ and Shaq Thompson was a BEAST! On Offense, it was a feature game for James Cook! He rushed for 144 yards, a tuddy, couldn’t be contained and made the Stiller D look like childs play! This despite TWO new Tackles being forced into the starting lineup! I THINK Brandon Cooks is a sneaky good signing. He’s still very fast and has a ton of experience with no ‘dropsies’ issues. Yes, only one catch last week, but he knows how to get open! Thats already better than Shavers and ‘0’ moves Coleman. Oh, and btw, Josh Allen is GOOD! Allen is ALREADY a HOF player! Sicko Christian Benford named AFC Defensive Player of the Week! Our opponent today is the Cincinnati Bengals. From Greg Cook vs Jack Kemp, this is the 35th time we played them with the overall record standing at 17-17😳. Today, our challenge is stopping their resurgence. With Burrow back, the AFCNorth Division is now a possibility, despite their 4-8 record. (!😳!) The WHOLE League has been turned upside down this year and with everyone playing at least 2 more Division games, it’s truly ANY teams’ possibility. So let’s make it OUR possibility! As stated, we’ve been a great December team despite crippling injuries every year in this Allen era. We’ve only lost once at home this season and we’re back in the friendly confines today. It no longer matters whom their best players are. Only WINS matter -especially Conference wins! So, by hook, crook, a blocked kick or failed 2 point conversion, it’s a MUST win! We GOT THIS! GO BILLS! Buffalo Plus crew chimes in
  13. Yea I lean towards 'Bama being out. They could lose last night and make it. They couldn't lose like that and make it. They are a 3 loss team, with two wins over top 25 teams (Vandy and regular season Georgia) and one loss to a non-top 25 in FSU. That is a pretty similar resume to Texas who we all agree are out. 3 loss team, who have three wins over top 25 teams (Vandy, Oklahoma, Texas A&M) and one loss to a non-top 25 team in Florida. The one thing 'Bama had was "reached conference final" but they got whacked in it. Bama and BYU drop out for the two Conference Champ spots to go to Tulane and JMU.
  14. Pats game we moved the ball well even in spite of getting hammered with a ton of penalty yards and Kincaid had over 100 receiving yards. that game gets lumped in with Atlanta/miami but it didn’t really have that vibe to me. NE was more just shooting ourselves in the foot with penalties/turnovers The only real ugly game Kincaid played in was Miami and he missed almost a half
  15. He seemed fine at the beginning of the season before he got hurt. Did you have these realizations before the injury? Since coming back from the injury he clearly isn’t 100%. He’s not running like he normally does, and his passing hasn’t been as good either, and I wonder if maybe teams know he won’t be running the same, and so can take away the pass that much more.
  16. The problem isn't your rule of thumb. It is that you underrate Dak.
  17. I mean of course I don't know what is spin and PR but the official line is it meets all of the NFL's highest safety standards. The injury record suggests otherwise.
  18. What are you even talking about here? Your position seems to shift every time the actual data comes up. You started by saying the Bills have a bad pass blocking O-line, and now we are sort of implying the offense is struggling because of the O-line? Is that really where you want to plant your flag? Because if we are sticking to facts, the things that do not move around mid argument, the Bills O-line ranked 5th in the NFL in pass block win rate last year, 2024. Fifth. That is the definition of elite relative to the rest of the league. So yes, the data is very clearly contradicting your narrative, whether you feel like the line was good or not. What you keep doing is conflating offensive results with offensive line performance, and that is honestly wild. The offense can dip for a hundred reasons, QB play, WR talent, play calling, injuries, defensive adjustments, and none of that automatically traces back to the O-line. Same players as last year does not magically mean same offensive production, and pretending it does is just lazy analysis. We also used way more 6 lineman sets last year, and Hawes reduces that need this season. That changes the entire structure of protection. So does TE usage, motion, and route concepts. If your argument depends on ignoring all of that nuance, that says a lot. Let’s talk about Joe Brady, since somehow that part keeps getting ignored. Take the Houston game, which seems like the source of your O-line trauma. Houston was teeing off on Allen while we stuck with five blockers and minimal TE help. No adjustments. No chips. No shifting to heavier protections like last year. That is not an O-line talent issue, that is a coaching and scheme decision. Pure stubbornness. And let’s not pretend WR personnel does not matter. Last year we traded for Amari. He did not light up the stat sheet, but defenses respected him. That alone changes spacing. This year we do not have that luxury. So yes, something is going on with the passing game, but the most logical place to look is Brady and the overall offensive design, not an O-line that continues to grade out extremely well. I am genuinely confused why that is so hard for you to acknowledge. Let me put it plainly: Do you honestly believe the passing game struggles have more to do with the O-line than Joe Brady? Lastly, your point about Josh’s scrambling lowering sack numbers is true, but that is true of every mobile QB. Yet even adjusting for that, the Bills allowed some of the lowest sack totals in the league last year. At some point, the credit goes where it belongs. But if you want to keep insisting the O-line is the problem while the actual evidence keeps screaming the opposite, go ahead. Just do not expect everyone else to abandon reality with you.
