Is it really a disaster considering how this roster has been constructed? When you step back and look at it objectively the Bills have gotten next to nothing out of the entire Draft class (with the exception of ‘some’ limited play from Mad Max). Add to that their prized free agents have likewise all but disappeared (with the exception of Bosa…while he remains healthy). Put all of that together and it’s kind of a miracle they’re sitting at 8-4 in December. So I’m thinking they’re right about where they should be. However, this cannot continue for another season. The Team seems like it’s running on fumes and maxing out its credit cards just to pay the rent.

The bolded is technically true but an odd characterization. It's equally true that he's a former 2nd rounder who's started 47 0f 51 games in his career and was available due to medical concerns. He had 3 interceptions in a game against Jacksonville. It's not like he's Dane Jackson.

I think they are desperate for Kincaid to play, because Cincinnati is so vulnerable to tight ends gashing them. Assuming he does play, and makes it through the majority of the game I feel like this will be his last of the season. The guy is held together with duct tape at this point. I just can't see him being healthy the rest of the season and certainly won't be after this game (if he plays).

⬆️ And perhaps best of all .. He dances for me on demand. 😂

I think you're right about the conversation. Because in the grand game of life nothing anyone here says is going to materially change anything. PPP is just a place to share views and opinions and then agree or disagree about them. Everyone has their own unique perspective and experiences. Some take it seriously, others not so much. And I believe that if everyone agrees on everything then nobody is thinking. Same with the stadium wall. Over there we've got lots of expert GM's and coaches that know what needs to be done to fix problems, draft player and sign free agents. Sometimes including me! A lot of them might be right but nobody is putting them in charge.

did you actually read this? i'm guessing you didn't.

thought so. man child.

Speaking for “most people” now. Hilarious.

Excited? Did you have an involuntary response? It's interesting. I don't consider the Bills to be a particularly good tackling team but Christian Benford was interviewed after winning the Defensive POTW award and mentioned that he takes pride in his tackling and that the Bills work on tackling a lot in practice.

Philly fans are awful across the board. They turned on their team on Friday and booed them throughout the game. They are the nastiest fan base and its a travesty of karma that they won a SB with Hurts in the first place!

⬆️ Teef however goes into The King category. Claiming to be above the fray while being a transparent partisan hack. Now finds himself ignored, untaggable and TRIGGERED Beautiful. Are you a "former Republican" too?

This year isn't going to be about the opponent we face. None of the teams in the AFC are elite juggernauts. I could see us beating any of them. But they all have something that can exploit us. Which means I could also see us losing to any of them. In my opinion, the key to this postseason is going to be consistency. It will require 4 straight quality performances against top level competition. Our best bet is getting all phases up to at least a solid/decent level, so that it's not a glaring weakness leading to our downfall. Then hopefully Josh Allen can break out of his slump and be the element that pushes us over the top. #1 - We can't go into the postseason relying completely on James Cook sparking the offense. At least one of our opponents is going to succeed in stopping the run, and at some point our WRs will need to get open and we will need to move the ball through the air. The offense needs back Dalton Kincaid and Josh Palmer fully healthy... and Brandin Cooks needs to become someone the defense needs to account for downfield (similar to what Amari Cooper provided last season). #2 - We can't go into the postseason with our rushing defense constantly getting run over. At some point we will inevitably face someone like Jonathan Taylor or Derrick Henry. There needs to be a realization that our normal plan on defense isn't working against the run. Less nickel and more 4-3. More Shaq Thompson and less Terrel Bernard. Doing this led to our best rush defense all season against Pittsburgh. Keep it going. #3 - We can't go into the postseason without getting pressure on the QB. This has been our weak point each of the last 5 years. Even if Patrick Mahomes misses, there are still passers who will exploit us if we give him too much time in the pocket. Joey Bosa and Ed Oliver need to return healthy, and some other guys need to step up.

You know some of us don't need to wait for a week of frothing TDS stupidity anymore to know this for certain from the very beginning.

why don't you just try having a normal conversation instead of being a child. you have to ignore everyone because you just can't handle, yet crash out repeatedly on a daily basis. try using your words like a big boy, or is that just too much for you?

I looked at the Bengals v Steelers matchups this year. Flacco torched the vaunted Ramsey-Slay Defense and Chase went off big. In the second matchup numbers were down for Chase and Flacco. The second game was in Pitt. But I could not find any reference to Slay in the D stats. So I am not sure if this was the beginning of the end for him. He also doesn't appear in the Bills v Steelers matchup Stat sheet. Looks like he lost his job to the street free agent A Samuels at that point.

Bills 26 Bengals 35 Both defenses are bad. We have almost no pass rush without Bosa, so Burrow will carve us up with his excellent WRs while Brady calls five Cook rushes in a row. We fall way behind by halftime and have to open it up in the second half. It's in Buffalo but Burrow knows he owns this team. I hope I'm dead wrong.

Oh well. -teef

I saw that. How's it looking for the Bengals? Did not practice LB Terrel Bernard (elbow) DE Joey Bosa (hamstring/wrist) WR Josh Palmer (knee/ankle) CP Ned Boy (oblique) Limited participation OL Dion Dawkins (concussion) OL Spencer Brown (shoulder) TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring/knee) Full workout LS Reid Ferguson (neck) FB Reggie Gilliam (knee) TE Jackson Hawes (back) DT TJ Sanders (wrist) I'm older than you. I recall the days when the Bills training staff would use a buckskin wrap to hold a block of ice cut from Chautauqua Lake during the Mayville Winter Festival. I had to check with AI just to be sure: No. A spleen injury typically causes pain in the left upper abdomen and sometimes the left shoulder, but it does not directly affect the hamstring muscles. Spleen injury symptoms: Pain from a spleen injury is generally located in the upper left abdomen, under the rib cage. A classic symptom, known as Kehr's sign, is referred pain to the left shoulder, caused by blood irritating the phrenic nerve near the diaphragm. Hamstring injury symptoms: A hamstring injury involves pain, tenderness, and sometimes bruising in the back of the thigh and has no direct anatomical or neurological connection to the spleen. The only connection suggested outside of standard medical consensus comes from a non-traditional source which claims a link between the medial hamstring and the health of the pancreas and spleen based on flexibility practices, a concept not supported by conventional medical science. Yes. Apparently he has dual strains off the gluteus maximus muscles and literally can't sit. The athletic training staff has built a suspension device that essentially allows him to sleep in an inverted but upright position.

Slay will get a big sack this month and get paid. He has a Claus in his contract.

Prior to Keon’s disciplinary nonsense, I would’ve shelved Shakir and put Keon in the slot. I still might consider it. Shakir can’t be a focal point right now.

I'm pretty sure Tibstain, or one of his previous incarnations, is the very first person I added to my ignore list. He earned a spot there well over a decade ago before my threshold bar for the list was lowered substantially with the dawn of the orange menace. In short he was broken BEFORE Trump.

He gets into the backfield like a comet.

Amazing response!
