All Activity

4 AFC one seeds (14/16 Pats, 15 Broncos, 22 Chiefs) have won the SB in the past eleven years. Three others (17 Pats, 20 Chiefs, 24 Chiefs) got there and lost. Four others (18 Chiefs, 19/23 Ravens, and 2021 Titans) lost before the SB.

I hope Shnowman had a great day. Really good player and even better person (judging by what I’ve read).

2 wins in 5 days then 10 days off would be huge, of course it could go the opposite way too.

Ray Davis is averaging 1.8 yards per carry this year from 24 attempts (44 yards) - he has barely contributed anything outside of his receiving TD at Atlanta. Do something positive on Sunday Ray, the team needs you. I think it will be two practice squad elevations on D this week, Morgan Fox and a DB. Having Codrington active is a real option, he also needs a big game if he plays.

All kidding aside, it’s something that is dearly needed around here. People get very worked up about things that have no control over. That is a recipe for unhappiness. The Serenity Prayer is easy to say, but much harder to live. We’ve had a lot of practice, and it can still be a challenge at times. I can become ashamed of myself when I get too worked up. It’s not good for me or for anyone around me. So I try harder.

Not with their remaining schedule. They will coast to the division title. They won't be challenged until the playoffs.

I think it was on Amherst St in Black Rock but there used to be a dive bar called "The Pistol Dawn Tavern." 😊 There... now you've gone and done it... I hope your interest goes beyond the scripted opening drive. 🙂 Mayfield is the ultimate gamer... he plays hard always. Recall his scramble in Fayetteville, Arkansas when the cop crushed him against that concrete retaining wall... Baker never stopped fighting on that play. The problems of this team will not be solved if we lose to a banged up Tampa team just sayin

I'll be there, breh. Meet me in the parking lot for 40's, psalms, and gutted Philly's, ya dig?

They may not go sideways, so to speak. Maye is in year two, Henderson is in year one, the defense has a good mix and is solid, Vrabel is a good coach, and McDaniels is back to doing his thing. They are also expected to have $65M+ in FA next year. Things are truly looking up in NE and I think Diggs will be happy to be along for that ride.

Coleman shouldn’t see the field, he’s not an NFL wideout. If Brady gives Keon the most WR snaps again, he should be fired. But McD, in his infinite wisdom, has already declared Brady is safe….so who knows. 2 catches for 11 yards on 7 targets, most WR snaps again.

The truth is Keon just isn’t good enough. He’s already had disciplinary actions for what is seemingly just being lazy. He can’t get separation. Takes plays off. And can’t catch it when his number does get called. He got gifted being drafted by a team with the greatest QB of our generation and is more concerned with his giant diamond necklaces than improving his game. He’s a bust. And yes, I know it’s his sophomore year. But he bought a coat a Macys. So people found him charming.

Maybe but Daboll isn’t the answer. He is a terrible HC.

Bills are supposed to be a good running team, and TB a bad run defensive unit. But I assume TB coaches will have adjustments in place and we’ll have nothing but the usual schemes.

If history holds, they have alternated 13 and 11 win seasons for 5 straight years. This would be an 11 win year. Then they go on a heater in the playoffs until the D folds like a cheap tent when it matters. Pretty sure it "didn't look like those teams" when they were 6-6 two years ago either and 3 games behind the Dolphins in the division at that point. The only thing I care about is that they peak at the right time. If they do that and the D plays with a purpose in the playoffs they can do whatever they want. I get we want to write narratives, but the narrative on this team is that if they focus on the task at hand and play the way they are capable of, they are a very difficult out. There were 3 games where that wasn't close to happening and all 3 were losses.

I get that it's all you got. I will ask this though. What if this what they are? A 10-7 team at best? Everyone keeps comparing this team to past Bills teams in the Allen era. "They always have a mid season funk, then rifle off multiple wins to an AFC East championship". IMO this team is nothing like those teams.

Cleveland and Jets…gotta find a way to win one more. What a pathetic position to be in when you have Allen in his prime. Scrambling to get into the playoffs with the Jets and Fins in your division. Pegula asleep at the wheel, as per usual.

They beat the Buccaneers just last week

Almost no chance of snow during the game as it will be too warm, with temps near 40 and current forecast shows low chance of light precip early in game (20%) to none later in game (0%). If game was being played Sunday night then this might be a concern. Greater concern will be wind which seems to be at peak strength precisely when the game is happening, 20 mph with higher gusts. Allen should have a huge advantage in that department as he has the stronger arm and much more experience with how the wind works...and we have seen him throw the ball in much windier conditions with surprisingly little impact. Should make for a typical interesting kicking game with some passing issues as well interspersed...look for balls tailing out of bounds down the sidelines or throws sailing high.

they could just use Ray Davis in a pinch. If Hartman is going to just do punt returns then they might as well just save the call up and use Codrington.

For this particular game, I think the precip and winds are going to be a big factor. Need to get the running game established early. Field position, which the Bills are near the bottom of the league at, will be important too. From NWS "Lake effect bands will become better developed Sunday afternoon/evening through Sunday night as lake induced equilibrium levels rise up around 10k feet and the northwest flow will support lake connections with the Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. Snow accumulations of a few inches will be possible east and southeast of Lakes Erie and Ontario, but forecast uncertainty is medium at this time as guidance continues to depict moving lake effect bands. The greatest snow amounts can be expected over the higher terrain south of Buffalo where a better upstream connection is also possible with Lake Huron and even Lake Superior"

If Norwoods kick was not right, then...

Good point, kincaid needs to play at least 60%-70 of offensive snaps so we can disguise the opponent's defense.

Miami. Buffalo beat them on the road in the AFC title game. Media wanted Miami to win to have a Marino vs Aikma SB. Not that it would have mattered. Dallas would have destroyed them too. Edit: NE won the SB as the one seed in 2003 2024 Chiefs were one seed and of course lost.

I agree that failing to sign Hollins alone would not cost Bean his job I said it could be the straw that broke the camels back. Sometimes getting the simple stuff wrong is the most annoying. As for Hollins staying, I'm not convinced he didn't want to and it's hard for me to believe he would have left if offered the same pay and assurances that he would be given a chance to be a bigger part of the Bills offense.
