Knee injury last year, oblique injury this year both probably factor into it.

It's November 7th and I'm still gonna vote republican.

Arrowhead had many innovations for stadium design at the time, but the thing I appreciated most when it opened was the addition of arrows on the yard markers to indicate which goal line was closest. Unless the ball was at midfield, the TV angles didn’t inform viewers where the teams were exactly.

Oh, now we care about the job reports. Rich. Where was @Homelander during bidens reign of terror?

I sat next to a guy a few years back who was touring stadiums (not a Bills fan), and he said about mid-game that it was the 2nd loudest stadium he had been to (behind KC).

Scenario A is a perfectly reasonable choice. I prefer B but not by a ton. I don’t see a scenario where anyone in the AFC but KC or Baltimore beats playoff Josh Allen. They’re the only teams with the firepower to keep up. I don’t see the Bills in the playoffs laying an egg like New England or Atlanta. The Colts are a little weird to me. They feel like they can match the physicality. I go back to though, “if Josh Allen and Daniel Jones square off in a must win game, Josh has a massive advantage.” I think there’s a huge difference between “must win playoff games” vs. a Sunday afternoon in October. The Bills advantage over those teams that haven’t proven they can win those big games is LARGE.

The timing on Fleezoid's post, immediately after SoCal's post, couldn't have been more perfect.

Yea feels like people are in a bit of denial about how much dumb luck there is in a single game elimination football playoff. Even if you’re a pretty big favorite in the road wildcard game it’s probably a 60/40 odds type situation that you entirely skip by getting a bye instead and who knows how the wear and tear of that game could effect the next game If pit keeps Baltimore out and ends up the ‘worst’ division winner I don’t think we’d be that big a favorite in that 4 vs 5 wildcard game tbh. They would’ve had to have beaten a few good teams down the stretch.. of course if Baltimore just implodes and pit looks meh maybe the optics are different

You haven’t been paying attention to who is buying the tickets. The retention rate of ST holders is high. The new stadium will be significantly louder than the current one.

According to his own father, he's been a psychotic ashhole since he was a teenager.

Wondering if they are doing a bit of load management with him and planning to unleash him fully down the stretch and into the playoffs?

i don't think the 1 seed is the advantage you seem to, especially this year final season in the stadium is fan talk tbh...players don't really care about that. we haven't shown that we're significantly stronger vs top AFC teams at home as opposed to on the road. what we have shown is an ability to smack second tier AFC teams in the playoffs so the option to avoid the stronger teams is the obvious choice

Not from anyone's social media feed. Not from MSNBC or Fox. From people who actually know what they're talking about. 1. Sean Trende. Writes for Real Clear Politics (somewhat right-leaning overall). No greater wisdom has been spoken about American politics than his guiding principle that coalitions in American politics are constantly shifting and rarely survive long-term. And here he sees that happening: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/11/06/a_bad_night_for_republicans_with_no_bright_spots_153494.html Americans don’t do mandates. Donald Trump’s claim to a sweeping mandate was always dubious. He won by a little less than two points and failed to clear 50% of the vote. But I’ve always been fond of political scientist E.E. Schattschneider’s view of things: “The people are a sovereign whose vocabulary is limited to ‘yes’ or ‘no.’” We read all sorts of things into election results because it’s our job. But “the people” only say “I prefer this candidate” or “I like that one.” They don’t really get to explain why, nor in most elections do they get to rank preferences. 2. G. Elliott Morris is a data journalist, previously with the Economist. He is one of the best at digging into the numbers. And he sees the same thing: https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-winning-2024-coalition-has Morris points out that the "new Trump coalition" of working class whites, country club Republicans, and an increasing share of blacks and Hispanics has fallen apart. Again, coalitions are unstable, and this weird "coalition" (if you can even call it that) featured groups that just don't have a lot in common. It is clear now that claims of a fundamental realignment of American politics have been highly exaggerated. The 2024 election is best seen as an anti-incumbent election stemming from economic anxiety, most but not entirely driven by rising inflation during Joe Biden’s presidency. The elections held this week were a continuation of the anti-incumbent sentiment from last year — this time directed toward the new party in charge. The biggest difference between 2024 and 2025 is that Republicans are running the country now, instead of the Democrats. But for the realignment theorists, it’s actually worse than it looks. From 2024 to 2025 Republicans lost the most support — 25 points, on average — among the very voters they theorized would remake the GOP into a vast, multi-racial, working-class coalition. Today’s Chart of The Week looks at subgroup vote choice in 2025. The data suggests Trump’s winning coalition has all but evaporated — if it ever existed at all. Let’s start with the voters who were supposed to cement the GOP’s new coalition: non‑white, working‑class/lower-income, and young Americans. From 2020 to 2024, these three groups moved an average of 12 points toward Trump at the presidential level (on vote margin), according to Pew. In 2025, the same groups snapped back to the left — this time by 25 points on average. In fact, in Virginia’s exit poll (actually “The Voter Poll” by SSRS, but I’m going to call it an “exit poll” colloquially), Republican margins fell across every single subgroup except older voters (this could be due to noise in the exit poll samples). This is exactly what you’d expect from an anti‑incumbent election driven by economic anxiety and frustration at anti-democratic and far-right policy outcomes — and after a supposedly durable ideological realignment immediately falls apart. 3. (From Trende and Morris) Policy emphasis and the beginnings of a new Democratic coalition. The message of Spanberger and Sherrill AND of Mamdani was an economic one. Class politics, not identity politics. "Affordability" is the mantra, and this makes it more difficult to play the "she is for they/them" card for Republicans. Again, shifting coalitions.

Agree, very strange to be this rich at TE! And I don't hate the idea of leaning into the multiple TE looks even further. Just wish we had a Moulds to go with them (or heck, even a Lee Evans or Stevie Johnson would be perfect! ).

I agree with both points...the new stadium will actually be much louder than highmark But at the same it will lose some of its blue collar charm and atmosphere 😕 It was bound to happen at some point. Just thankful for all the memories and great times we've been able to have over the years. This old barn will surely be missed

Kincaid missed the Atlanta game, and barely played in carolina (14 snaps) since that was just the james cook show. Last week he played only 23 snaps and was outsnapped by knox and hawes, but also by samuel and shavers - and still managed 6 catches and 101 yards. So in the last 4 weeks including the bye he's only played 37 snaps and has 7 catches for 124 yards and a TD.

I love they want an 05 formation. But we don't have Quentin Morris anymore, or the punter tight end. Maybe bring them back for a game so we can do that for funsies?

You're not wrong. But I think about it differently. Steeler and Pack fans are widely respected. Of course they’re passionate - those franchises are perennial contenders, and their stadiums reflect it. The Bills, by contrast, have more losses than wins since our inception back in 1960. We’re not historically a winning franchise, and yet when times are bad, we show up. We fill the stadium. We crowd into Bills Backers bars. We wear our colors every Sunday, no matter where we are. To me, that stubborn persistence is the real measure of fandom. Few teams sustain that level of loyalty through prolonged hard times. Bills fans are not fair-weather friends. I don’t mean to diminish other fanbases. I was at Arrowhead for the Bills‑Chiefs regular-season matchup in 2021. That place was freaking thunderous - at least until the tide turned against them. Still, I've visited nearly every NFL city and have lived in a few of them, and I’ve never quite felt the same fierce, communal energy around a home team as I do in Buffalo.

I get what you are trying to do - but there is no SoS (strength of schedule) you can create that offsets the massive advantage of the 1 seed. The 1 seed since going to a 17 game season and adding more playoff teams has become a colossal advantage. It was a big advantage before, but its colossal now. With the guys already playing an extra game in the regular season, getting the free pass to the 2nd round to let guys get healthy and also avoid any new injuries in the first round of the playoffs is massive. Not to mention home field advantage. Now apply that to actual Bills this year and it becomes miles apart - Bills final season in the stadium, so every home game could be our last game ever played there. The energy is going to be something that can never be replicated again. But - and maybe more importantly - not only does it give us time for guys to heal up who may be banged up, it gives us one more week to get Ed Oliver back. And if we are going to face a team like Indy in 2nd round, being at home to disurpt and rattle Danny Dimes and have Ed Oliver back facing a tough Indy OL and run game is going to be massive. No disrespect, again I get what you are trying to do, but IMHO there is no path that is so much "easier" to offset the massive value of the 1 seed, not even if we were given the choice to see KC and Balt out of the playoffs all together if we gave up the 1 seed.

and now Fox has fired him, wow, what a surprise! What an idiot! https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nfl/breaking-news/article/mark-sanchez-reportedly-fired-by-fox-sports-as-he-faces-felony-charges-for-stabbing-incident-165551227.html

Yea I think people are picturing how the broncos/steelers look now when they choose but I don’t really see the broncos holding off the chiefs without beating some good teams down the stretch. Same goes for the Steelers and ravens the pats would be in that mix too who maybe would’ve beat us twice if we end up the 5 seed. The dynamics change a lot based on how teams got to certain win totals. If the pats lose the rematch to us but end up a win ahead I wouldn’t even think twice about possibly seeing them again

The funny thing is that it's forecast to be 43 degrees on Tuesday morning......a 43 degree drop in about 36 hours!!

Damn I wasn't aware the snaps were that close...
