How the heck are the Bills favored in this game??

Little late for that.

Benford gets Higgins. Double team Chase. No blitzing. I’d only rush 3. 4 ain’t getting home why bother. Put someone else in coverage.

Ah, was not aware of that, thanks for clearing that up

I want to go to the game but tickets in good seats are going for like $150 200 bucks I love ub I just can't justify that for a mid major basketball game even against a western New York competitor

Yeah i dont think there is a silver bullet in general. I was basically pointing out there are things that can be done at local levels that arent even being looked into. Over regulation is a small part of a larger picture but people arent asking questions. Theres also private equity deciding to scoop up everything above market value. Crickets from both sides. On and on. One thing is for sure. The regulations have far exceeded actual saftey measures and has turned into a pay to play racket. There are plenty of examples. Heres one such explained if you got time to watch. I just feel there are alot of people who go into higher education for the wrong reasons and parents are still under the outdated illusion a degree equals high income or are just neglegent to actual salaries. College is a giant industry that will offer rediculous degrees and zero bars to hurdle to get in. Im perfectly fine if someone wants to get a historical philosophy degree, switch majors 50 times racking up bills, or live on campus that doubles the price just to get the "real experience" . Drown in your decisions but at some point you are going to have to point these things out and yes, prevent people from making those types of decisions if you dont want a generation drowning in debt before they start their "careers". You were the one worried about the future you were leaving. My idea would be hold colleges more responsable for job placement. If they cannot land a kid in a field then they eat the cost. It would drop the endless nonsense degrees. We agree on tarffis. as i wrote to at least its a attempt. how can you not blame the other side when their policies exasperate issues? Millions of people let in that need housing is a pretty good start. I think ive gone into a long enough rant to go into details further on that front.

There may not have been a Mahomes blocking the class of 83 but the NFC did. I think that was around the time the NFC won something like 12 or 13 Super Bowls in a row. Back then many fans would consider the NFC championship game the real Super Bowl.

Was just thinking about this and didn't think it deserved a new topic, so I decided to put it here. Many Bills fans have lamented our WR room for at least 2-3 years now (not totally without cause). And we drool over teams with two stud receivers. So, I thought that I would look at how the teams with the best WR duos are doing. At the start of this season, the following teams were considered the best WR duos (generally-obviously opinions differ) . I have included their current records and chances of making the playoffs this season: Odds of making Team/Record playoffs (2025) 1. Bengals (4-8) 2% 2. Eagles (8-4) 95% 3. Cowboys (6-6) 16% 4. Lions (8-4) 43% 5. Rams (9-3) 96% 6. Vikings (4-8) <1% 7. Dolphins (5-7) <1% 8. Seahawks (9-3) 93% 9. Tampa Bay (7-5) 81% 10. Washington (3-9) <1% 11. Chargers (8-4) 61% 12. Chiefs (6-6) 35% The Bills are 8-4 with a 90% chance of making the playoffs. Only two of the top WR teams have a better record than the Bills (by 1 game) and only three of them have better playoff odds than the Bills. Only 5 of the 12 teams have better than 50% odds of making the playoffs. Yes, I know there were injuries (Burrow, Chase, Lamb, Tyreek, Evans, Godwin, etc.---kudos to TB for weathering their storm), but that's part of the equation too. You may be weaker elsewhere on your team in order to have those two studs and if one of them gets injured, it's a bigger loss to the team (harder to get wins without those players, obviously). And obviously who your quarterback is matters big time too (but I think you could say that at least 9 of those 12 teams have pretty good QBs). I'm not saying this is some be all end all stat to discourage getting better at wide receiver. And I would not say no to one or even two stud receivers if the opportunity were there for Buffalo and it made sense (obviously you don't want to pay two stud receivers if you are a run-first team). But, I think it does at least go to show that just having stud receivers does not guarantee anything.

I honestly think Beane gets shown the door this off season, barring a bonafide super bowl run.

I have one cracked Bills ashtray, 1972. 6 bucks and its yours

I have a hat… GO BILLS!!!

Don't forget, Tony Eason also got there in 1986. I think if you go back to the mid-1980s you will see that there was really nobody else in the AFC, certainly not on the level of a Mahomes. I was 14 in 1983 and I remember a ton of great '70s quarterbacks all retiring or losing effectiveness right around that time and not being replaced by anybody good. - Terry Bradshaw in Pittsburgh -- Mark Malone succeeded him. Mark Malone! - Bert Jones in Baltimore/Indy -- they drafted Elway but traded him and were stuck with Art Schlichter and Mike Pagel - Ken Stabler and Jim Plunkett in Oakland/LA -- replaced by Marc Wilson. Marc Wilson! - Dan Pastorini in Houston -- replaced by Warren Moon, who had a great career but never made it, thanks in part to us - Brian Sipe in Cleveland -- replaced by Paul McDonald. Paul McDonald! - Ken Anderson in Cincinnati -- they were working in Boomer Esiason, who did make it to a SB - Dan Fouts in San Diego -- he hung around the longest, but the cupboard was bare when he retired (and even before that) - Jim Zorn in Seattle -- Dave Krieg was decent but not great - KC didn't have anybody at all Buffalo (Fergy), New England (Steve Grogan), Miami (Bob Griese), the Jets (Richard Todd), and Denver (Craig Morton) had also lost or were losing longtime QBs, but they mostly hit the lottery in '83. Everyone else was screwed, including KC who tried with Blackledge. As others have pointed out, there was no Mahomes sitting around blocking the class of '83. So this isn't that much of a surprise that the class of '18 hasn't gotten there (yet).

Ah, 1:00 pm, a civilized time for the start of a football game, 😁👍🍸🚬 GO BILLS!!!

I suspect we might show up with a gameplan to stop the run.

Link ?

The math on making the playoffs is tough with 55 games left to play. We need to go 34-11 to get to 94 points.

It is already installed.

Hey Donuts, GET OFF MY LAWN! Good to hear from you bud. Go Bills!

I have 3 Josh Allen jerseys- Red/ White / Blue with the desire for the black jersey yet- and some Josh Jaqs cereal- and some hoodies- so no not really- but I understand why some people do- I’m just a boring fan when it’s comes to merch

Sorry if it was already mentioned, but I watched a clip of McDermott discussing the whole thing, and he is his clearly doing everything in his power to conceal his boiling rage over the whole ordeal lol

I would anticipate Benford traveling with Chase. It's not a bad idea to go the old Patriot route though and have Hairston travel with him and provide help over top at all times. Puts your best corner on Higgins and doubles Chase. Allows you to play your 2 man in obvious passing situations, but also play Cover 3, Cover 6, or rolled Tampa looks to get your best match-ups on both weapons. Just depends on how comfortable they are with Hairston in all those situations.

Oh, come on. Whatshisname has been here for ages! At least since that other guy (forgot his name) drafted ahead of him out of that college somewhere in the Midwest. (Or was it the Southwest?) Now that he's gone, we'll miss him every day, good old... whathisname.

Mom doesn’t mind. She’s a fan too.

I don’t know, still looked quicker than Keon.
