I understand the parameters to "lurking" on another teams forum, i was just being sarcastic. I just think it's fascinating how some fans get so up and arms about it, they can't fathom the thought. When really it's normal behavior. Fans everywhere act a like. Its just fun seeing some complain about the very same thing they would or have done. ha ha

My top choice would be to get the 1 seed. Failing that, I'd still rather win the division and extend our streak to 6 - especially with KC probably ending their streak this year. But the bronze medal option is getting the 5 seed and watching the 2 seed Patriots losing in the opening round. Honestly, there's a part of me that would rather be the 5 seed than the 2 seed - especially if Pittsburgh wins their division. The 7 seed very easily might be Houston or KC, and both of those teams are more dangerous than any of the other non-Bills wildcard potentials. With all that said, if we get swept by the Patriots, I'll be pissed. If we beat them on Sunday but they win the division by taking care of business against Jets & Dolphins? Congrats to them but I'm mostly unbothered.

If Cosell is right, then Allen should win MVP for the success the team has had and will likely continue to have. I don't understand how people can hype Stafford without acknowledging that the team around him is superior to Allen's. Anyway, if the Bills go all the way, they won't be the first no-name team to do so. Sometimes it's less about individual star power and more about team character. That's not to say the Bills have, it, but they might. We'll see Sunday.

Cool we can now stab people over words. Good times

I converted to using y'all a few years back. Most languages have different pronouns for 2nd person singular vs 2nd person plural, and there's plenty of times that it's useful to distinguish. I'm not saying "you all" like some poorly-programmed robot, and I don't think I have the juice to get "ye" back in use. So I say y'all, and when I do, people understand what I mean. Great success. Lurking on another team's forum is always okay. Posting can potentially be okay, depending on the forum and the posts themselves. Even smack talk posts can be okay, although IMO only if they're in a dedicated thread for mixing it up with opposing fans. Trolling, antagonizing, etc. are never okay, regardless of whether it's being done to our fans or by our fans.

This idea has been crossing my mind. I mean, of COURSE I want to win this game. I want to win it badly. But if we do lose - what are the chances that this fairly overrated Pats team can beat us a 3rd time this season? Pretty low. If we lose this one, I'd have enormous confidence we beat them them in January.

Something to be aware off….. Jacksonville might play entire 2027 season in London with their stadium getting remodeled. in 26 they will wotk on the upper deck, 2927 the stadium is closed. Next 2 yrs Florida and Georgia rivalry games will be in Atlanta and Tampa nfl stadiums for 26 and 27 season. if teams pairings aren’t changed, it’s bills at Jags inn2027– which could be in London/ Europe.

I ... Don't care if New England wins this division. We win Sunday it'll be cool. But I would love to go up there in the playoffs and let Diggs watch us celebrate winning the AFC. He can go home to his 16 baby mamas and worry about next year. *I love Diggs the player but as a person he's goofy.

WR with every pick

This is exactly the news I was expecting to see this week, practice field injury.

Do we work for the same company? 😂

How come when a player have a big game, they end up injured and out the following week. I've noticed a trend this season.

I think it's a pretty cool, unique idea as a limited run collectible from the old stadium. Seriously, I will pay someone to get me a six pack and mail to me. I'd like for a keepsake in my bar

Cosell has an opinion based on plenty of film study. I have watched every minute of every game and this is my opinion. Please don’t say our offense has no talented players. Cook,Kincaid and our O-line when healthy and coached correctly for the opponent, is quite formidable. Shakir and Knox are quality targets and Davis looks like the Davis of old giving Josh good options.Factor in Josh, who makes everyone better, and Ty Johnson and Davis who are good role players and there’s an abundance of talent.

You sprain your toe / turf toe or do something that requires a walking boot you likely didn’t do it 3-4 days ago. He’s been seen the last few days hasn’t he and no report of issues. With us though it does seem like the same players getting dinged over and over!

They aren't one of the most talented teams in the league, they aren't that good overall from a talent perspective. I think we all know this, we've done the comparisons of number of pro-bowlers per squad, etc. But a cursory glance at stud players also does not take into account depth, coaching, culture and other factors that balance things out a bit (oh yeah, and having Josh). They lack play makers on both sides of the ball This is debatable. Are there other teams with more playmakers? Absolutely, no doubt. But I would say that at least Cook and Kincaid (if he could stay healthy) are playmakers. Ty Johnson is a backup, but he consistently makes some big plays (when getting touches). On defense, is Benford becoming a playmaker? I'd say so looking at the last couple of weeks. Shaq has been making some big tackles. Ed will be coming back. Bosa has made some pretty big plays. And, again, we have Josh (I know he meant beyond Josh, but Josh is almost like having two playmakers). Do we have a lot of guys that are say top 5 at their position or guys that have to be specifically schemed against, no (well, probably just Josh and Cook...and maybe Bosa---not top 5, but possibly needing to be schemed against). But, sometimes the whole is more than the sum of the parts. very poor WR core and Kalir is more of a WR3 Not sure those were his exact words, but again, it's not something that we didn't already know. Shakir is more of a slot receiver (which is usually considered your #3 guy). And beyond Shakir, yes, it is a weak group in comparison. But, again, you have to look at the makeup of the whole team and the reasons behind everything. First of all, we have Josh. Secondly, we are a heavier run team (top two in rushing attempts, #1 in yards, #2 in rushing TDs). We have three very good TEs, who are currently second in the league for TE receiving yards and 3rd in the league for TDs by TEs (and that's with Kincaid missing 4-1/2 games). There aren't as many balls to go around to our WRs as on other teams. Plus, being a run team, we want our receivers to be able to block well. They don't all do that well. Are the Chiefs expecting Worthy to be a great blocker for the run game? Not saying I don't want or don't think we need improvement to our WR room, but we are probably better off trying to find one in the draft. People make it seem like it's easy to just go out and get a stud WR. How many guys in the league even fit in that category? Maybe 15-23 or so (so, a number of teams don't have a true stud #1). This past off-season, only two stud receivers were available via FA or trade. Adams and Lamb. First of all, 31 other teams also wanted those guys. Secondly, holding late draft picks is a disadvantage even in trades. Other teams 1st or 2nd round picks are higher and of more value than ours. Also, we have been a little low on assets the last couple of years---it is just the part of the cycle we are in for a team that maintains success over a long period of time. You start losing guys to age, free agency, injuries, etc. Contracts come home to roost from seasons where you tried to hold everything together, etc. There is a cycle in trying to maintain success (are the Chiefs not going through a similar cycle right now?). Then you also have to factor in (at least for FA) does that stud receiver even want to come to a run-first team that throws a lot of balls to the RBs and TEs and that plays outside in the cold? Or would they rather go to the Rams and Cowboys who are going to be chucking the ball around their domes, giving you a ton more targets, etc. Playing with Josh I think would be a big draw, but you'd have to have a mature WR who isn't as worried about his own stats as he is about winning and who is also a willing blocker in the run game. Also, I looked back a few years and it is pretty much an average that usually there are only two (possibly three) stud receivers available each year via FA or trade (again, with 31 other teams also vying for their services). Believe me, I would love to see a stud receiver on the team---added to the RBs and TEs, this offense might be unstoppable. But I also get that it isn't just as easy as saying go out and get one. Should Beane take more shots (especially in the draft), sure I'm on board for that. I was hoping we'd trade up for Brian Thomas, Jr. last year (not sure if that would have been a good move or not. Good rookie year. But having a bit of a sophomore slump. Plus we would have had to trade from 31 to 23). Ladd was there for the taking, but we didn't need a slot (hindsight, who cares, right? But at the time...currently he's on pace for about 900 yards this year---about 250 yards less than last year). And this year, our only real chance was to move up from 28 to 16 for Egbuka (probably would have taken our 2nd and 4th at least). After that, the only guys available in round 2 were Jayden Higgins, Luther Burden, Tre Harris, and Jack Bech (currently Burden has the best stats of that group with 395 and 1 TD, so...). Plus, to move up for a guy, you have to be pretty sure that that's the guy you want and expect to be a stud to give up that much. Plus, you have other positions of need as well, with other players on the board that maybe you have rated higher, etc. I do hope we see a big improvement in the WR room next year (we should at least have more money for it), but I also think we can still win with what we got this year (especially with a wide open AFC and no real dominant teams league-wide). Not to bring up Rex, but the playoffs will be time for the Bills to play bully ball. Run it down their throats, keep emphasizing toughness and turnovers on the defense, and let Josh loose when needed. Just trying to have some perspective and some optimism. Go Bills!

I understand. The bulk of it is in September. Munich is the one tourists go to but if you know local rednecks over there and go to the rural states like Baden-Württemberg... You'll have a lot better of time.

That does it! From here on there will be no more practices for the rest of the season for this team! It's too dangerous. I'm waiting to hear about a player going blind from watching game tape!

Yes. The NFL playoffs aren't a fixed bracket like the NCAA tournament. Highest seed hosts lowest seed in every round, followed by 2nd-highest seed hosting 2nd-lowest.

I hate his opinion but it carries plenty of weight, as he is amongst the most knowledgeable talking heads out there. I hope Beane takes it under serious advisement

Exactly. The song hasn't changed. My own song has mostly been the same. During preseason, I never believed this was our year. The 4-0 start and the offense's early production made me start thinking about singing a slightly different tune. Then reality set back in.

I hear your point in the first paragraph, and think it's probably mostly spot-on. But I disagree that this happens literally every season - at least not to this extent. I've been obsessively following injury reports for decades and this year strongly jumps out as having a disproportionate amount of mid-week injuries pop up. Like, by a factor of 10x.

I just think the Bills need a change. New scheme, new coaches, and an injection of a new culture. It's been a heck of a run but I think the regime's message is growing old. My brothers recently told me the Bills look stale.

Don't know bout Germany, but I think it's very very likely we play an international game next year. Shocked it didn't happen this year. Likely a road game, not gonna want to take away a home game from the new stadium
