He has void years that you still have to pay for. Not sure how that works. -

More dead drug dealers equals less drugs coming here. And your defending criminals again. Crazy. -
Maye is playing better than Allen right now. He might not BE better, but he is playing better. They have a more dynamic offense as whole, as far as the WR group, and McDaniels calling plays. They have a better defense. Specifically a better run defense. They clearly have an edge with attitude and confidence. I believe they’re overrated, in fact, I believe they’re the worst 10-2 team from a DVOA perspective since the late 70’s. But they’re also young, and while they have benefited from the schedule they’re also learning how to win as they go thru it. It was very similar to the Patriots first year with Brady. They were likely overrated for most of that year, until eventually they were a pretty good team. Not to say they’re anything like that Pats iteration as far as upside potential, but just because they have had an easy schedule and are overrated relative to the record, it doesn’t mean that is the only narrative that can exist. Meanwhile, we really don’t have a lot of room to talk about other teams being overrated. Our marquee win is what, Carolina? The Chiefs and Ravens games aren’t exactly aging well. While I know YOU just dismiss it all to SOS, eventually you do need to win games to be considered good. Something the Ravens and the Chiefs just aren’t doing and something we have struggled with at times vs far worse teams. It’s Intersting that people here are making an argument that the AFC is just paper tigers when it’s pretty obvious the Bills are as well. Virtually no quality wins (unless you use quality based on past years) inconsistent play all over the place. Sure, it’s always any given Sunday, but we have a long way to go to string together multiple wins in a row against teams that have been able to close out games and win multiple ways, regardless of those wins have been against flawed teams (as the Bills wins have as well).

Can they win out? Sure, they could go on a run. The Bills do typically perform well in December. Still, we don't have a soft schedule the rest of the way like NE does. Cincy always makes me nervous because of their offense. Right after that, we're at New England with them coming off their bye week. Next up is a tough Cleveland defense with Myles Garrett. Then Philly comes to town with Hurts, Saquon, AJ Brown, and Devonte Smith. We close out with the Jets, which should be a relatively easy victory. I think the more likely scenario is we end up 11-6, which should land us a WC spot. This team is just too bipolar. One week we look like world beaters, then the next we can't beat our way out of a wet paper bag.

Fatso is 36 going on 8. What a huge baby.

IMO this was not a get right game. James Cook running all over a collapsing team isn't moving the needle for me. The passing offense is still putrid and there was no adaptation to the play calling. He had some guys chip on the line, but they still went run, screen, long third on most drives. 123yds passing against the late season Steelers is criminal and Brady/Beane/McD need to be shown the door.

Did anyone else see the switch flip with Josh Allen?

I don't think Trump's long for his office. And we need to recoup the ill-gotten monies of the Trump Family Associates and end the concept of transferring F-35 technology to countries involved in 9/11 As easily as Donald Trump has trod upon our country and Constitution. He is going to have his boiled peas and carrots fed to him through bars.

You need to make up your mind. When I said what did you consider a "championship team" this year you said: Then you said I was right when I said we have the better QB, RB, and TE. When I questioned you on what made the patsy's a "championship team" the only thing you could point to was ONE Wide receiver. This is the reality. The patriots are a game and a half ahead of the bills. They are that way because of the schedule they played and the bills crapping the bed when they played them. That happens every season with every team, not just the Bills. The Chiefs probably wont even make the playoffs this year, that doesn't mean the Patriots are a better team, that means the Chiefs had a murderers row of a schedule (like the Bills) and the patriots did not. At this point in the season there are 5 teams so bad they are eliminated from playoff contention already, of those 5 teams the patriots lost to one (the raiders 2-10) and they beat two ( saints 2-10 and Titans 1-11) they also beat the Joe Burrow Less Bengal's, the 3-9 Browns and lost to the same Steelers team we beat today. They get to play another one (Giants) this week. They did not and will not play the chiefs, Ravens, Eagles, or Bengals with Joe Burrow. The bills did or will. That is not a "championship team" Its a middle of the road team with a weak schedule. I know that this week they get to beat up on the 2-10 NY giants which will probably further solidify in your mind that they are a "champion team". Sure thing buddy.

Well, I was going to start a new thread called "WINTER IS COMING"! Because what we all saw against the Steelers is exactly what's needed going forward. That Pittsburgh front defensive line is no joke, and this team outright manhandled them while rushing for 249 yards against that team in their stadium. You know what can stop a top passing offense? That howling, blustery wind in Rich-the Ralph, err, New Era stadium is known as one of the worst venues if the winds are strong, and the snow? Does anyone else recall that Colts game a few years ago? "And pretty alarming for Pittsburgh (6-6). On a blustery day that made passing treacherous, the Steelers knew they were going to be tested by one of the NFL's best rushing teams. They failed repeatedly. Buffalo held the ball for nearly 42 minutes and probably could have taken control earlier if not for a pair of first-half turnovers." "The swirling winds at one of the league's trickiest venues made passing nearly impossible for both teams. Allen completed 15 of 23 for 123 yards with an interception and a 3-yard scoring toss to Keon Coleman, who returned to the active roster after being a healthy scratch the last two weeks due to disciplinary issues." https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap/_/gameId/401772789

Please make this happen this offseason. 1st this year, 2nd next, and your choice of any offensive player not named Josh or James.
-
Think you don’t get him for anything less than a first and a second if not two 1’s. He’s still relatively young and on a reasonable deal for where that position $ is headed to give a #1 guy of his quality.
-
You would think they were after that crazy no call on unnecessary roughness during that slide by Josh. Funny that Queen went out and didn’t return not long after that play. Big loss for that defense.
-
Totally did not see that result coming. The offensive line was awesome given what we were down. TJ Watt was indeed a non factor!! Steeler fans next to us were wondering why they weren’t just sending the house against the run every play. Thought that myself. Make the Bills beat them by the pass. Awesome game, awesome result. The run defense was a sight to behold too. Things look good going forward. Joey Boss sack and fumble return by Benford turned the game on its head! Nice to see 47 show what he was capable of last season Definitley. Defense was quality from the second quarter onwards. Theres many who feel they should have traded him and got something in return for the future. Got to agree there.

The pattern has been to follow up a game like this with a 💩 game so...
-
I'd say the whole Pittsburgh team took a knee to the gut 😐

Crazy to be how much this board swings week to week. Despite what we saw against a back up QB and a guy collecting social security with one arm, this defense can/will revert to against more functional offenses. All the focus is on the offense right now, but this defense is far from “book it” level. Forget about the obvious lack of playmakers outside. Within that, Brady’s scheme has regressed and teams are much better prepared for it now. Allen is not playing with confidence, accuracy, or any degree of decisiveness. Not saying this to place blame, he needs more help, clearly, but he’s also missing layups at times. His energy level is total dog crap for long periods which is a reflection of the team as a whole and its inconsistent play. While most the AFC teams have some serious flaws and are capable of being beat, I’m not sure if this team can win 3 in a row against .500 level teams at this stage. They’re a wild card caliber squad, not much more. I don’t think winning out is possible, they just aren’t consistent enough. Even with the flawed contenders, they’re playing with far more consistency, swag, or unit specific dominance. Things we just don’t have. We don’t have a unit as dominant as Houston or Denver’s defense. We don’t have the confidence/swag of the Patriots, who feel more like the early iterations of the Bills before the fun got sucked out. Jacksonville and the Chargers are just playing better football on both sides and again, more confidence, swag, youth. This Bills team just looks like it’s been battling to stay on top of a mountain all year. But it’s stopped trying to climb higher for awhile now. Other teams might not be world beaters, but they’re clearly trying to continue the climb.

Too 1 dimensional. Stop the run and the bills are cooked

The first coolest chick I really ever met introduced me to this song. Cool chicks are some form of hidden treasure on this planet- and I'm sure just as problematic as the rest of us are. -
This may have been said but yesterday shows why there were complaints about the defense against the Texans. The offense was anaemic in the first half, but the defense kept us in it. They didn't give away a back breaking drive at the end of the half. They gave the offense time to find their footing, and stick to the original game plan. Sometimes that is required. And that was missing in Houston.
-
Offensive line had a great game yesterday. Once Anderson calmed down, line blocked well. Wonder why this wasn’t the same game plan for the Houston game? Don’t believe we would have won, but it may have been closer. Houston’s defenders are much faster to the ball then the Steelers, so not sure how much of a difference it would have made…other than not getting Josh beat up last week.
