Wonder what he's up to these days. Kinda shocked they haven't revisited him being here as McDermott and Beane had a lot of glowing things to say about him.

Cooks was a better version of John Brown's style of play. Curious to see who puts a claim in, or how he maneuvers his free agency. Does he have anything left for a contending team?

Yea because we all know that giving the ball to your RB 4 STRAIGHT times on a drive worked real well in high school.

Watched him last year during the our game with Houston and thought he was the real deal. Fast, physical with sound technique. As you mentioned, always taking it too far and is usually good for 3 to 4 fines a season.

Kind of a weird week. Almost all of the AFC teams are done after the 1pm slot. I think the dream of the #1 seed is pretty much dead unless we win out (I think there is a pretty good chance 13-4 is the #1 seed record this year). The division is hanging on by a thread, but need the Pats to lose today. Come on Flacco! Unleash the elite dragon! I actually think the Pats could lose today. Vrabel is a good coach, but an away game against a bad team is the type of game a young team doesn't necessarily get up for.

Yeah, I really think there is no "wrong way" to look at it. I think it's based now on if you see a path to the division still for the Bills. I see the path, but I don't have confidence the Bills will be able to take it. I'm out on our division title opportunity and focused on Wild Card. As such I just don't want a Cincinnati team that still feels like they can make the playoffs. They already lost 3 in a row and could easily drop the next two to New England and Baltimore before facing us. I would love that for them.

Yea it was Wyoming Josh's worst trait. He has mainly overcome it in the NFL which is super impressive but every now and again when his OL collapses as it did Thursday he reverts to type, holds it too long running around recklessly in the backfield trying to make something happen. To be clear though it was a symptom of the Bills failure on Thursday not the cause.

I can’t remember another time where so many teams were so close in the standings. There are only 7 teams in the entire NHL that are under .500 right now, and only 3 in the east. The Sabres, of course are one of those 3, as they currently sit last in the east and 28/32 overall. But they are still only 5 points out of a wildcard spot. They are still very much in the race if they can start stringing some wins together.

The problem with McD's comments is that he doesn't address the elephant in the room - the woeful first half performances of his defenses in multiple games. Against Houston, Atlanta, Baltimore & Tampa Bay the Bills D was largely non-existent for one half to three quarters of the game. I've seen this bizarre and frankly disgusting shtick from McD before where he throws the offense under the bus for not plying great while making excuses for and/or not recognizing the putrid play of his defense - a unit that gets the lions share of draft picks & FA signings and represents his personal area of expertise. To be even fairer the defense was awful in the 1st half against Houston and was awful for large parts of the games against the Ravens, Bucs, Dolphins & Falcons. Defense is a McD specialty it's his area of expertise. On top of that the lions share of FA signings and draft capital has been allocated to the D. It is not enough to make effective adjustments later in a game.

For whatever weird reason this year, I’ve been very avoidant of watching other games when we lose. It’s like none of the outcomes have really been going our way. I do think the division is completely out of reach. But as long as those squads behind us loses, and the Ravens don’t win their division, I’m confident being a wildcard. The Bills have shown even with all of their turnovers and terrible defensive showings, they’re still within reach of winning those games. If we can eliminate the turnovers to no more than 1, and 1 not at a bad time during a game, they’re very capable of being successful in the playoffs. Of course I want the Chiefs, Patriots, Ravens, and Chargers to all lose. But they all will more than likely win today. 🤣

1) Brady did that because he LITERALLY could not run. He was slow as molasses. Throwing the ball at the ground was his ONLY option. 2) Brady knew the very next play he would have a receiver running wide freaking open. Allen does not have that luxury. It is absolutely stupifying how many of you want to take away what makes Allen special (his off script ability) in favor of turning him into a dink and dunk robot.

Unless CIN runs the table, they shouldn’t be an issue for us. 10-7 is probably the line and unless we lose three in a row, we’ll have the tiebreaker over PIT & BAL and/or knocked CIN down to 8 losses with a tie-breaker over them. Im pulling for them to beat NE, not only for the faint hope of the AFCE, but I also want that game on Thursday with Burrow & Chase returning to have as much juice as possible. It’s do or die for them either way, but looking at schedules, even more real coming off a win. My rooting interests for the rest of the season are basically Bills get in and Baltimore, KC get left out. If NE beats CIN, I’m probably to the point where I’d root for them to beat Baltimore, because I wouldn’t see them losing to the Giants, Jets or Dolphins.

I believe that was his point. Now that she’s leaving, it opens up a spot in Congress for “some nutcase in north Georgia to cash in”

Well, he is a beefy fellow and I don't think he would have done any worse then Brown did at RT. I say, give him a jersey. Ok, but hear me out. Tooth Fairy covers A LOT of ground quickly every night. One would think she could be a good deep threat. Slide her into the role that made for Mecole Hardman and I think we may have something.

Scoring defense is not the only thing that matters. Lack of creating turnovers, giving up long time consuming drives robbing the offense of possessions, giving up non scoring drives that flip the field position and the point in a game that a defense allows scoring drives can matter just as much. By any rational assessment the Bills are a bottom 10 D. If we can't agree on this then we can't agree on anything.

People can vote if they haven't or update their votes if they have.

I don't think you need to get rid of it entirely. What they should do is make Thursday nights for teams coming off a Bye or something. I know that's not the most conducive thing to schedules and everything, but maybe it's time to reevaluate how the schedules are composed and worry more about player safety rather than be so opponent specific. There are a lot of smart people working in the NFL. I am sure with enough meeting time, they could come up with something that would take less of a toll on the body and still allow them to play on Thursday night most weeks. Maybe the first few weeks there aren't any, but when Bye weeks start, so do Thursday night games or something. I mean, the easiest way to do it is to make sure every team gets 2 Bye weeks and work it in from there. Each team would have an abbreviated Bye to play on Thursday Night and then a full Bye later on or something like that. I know they don't want to do that, but giving teams extra rest during the season can only help the product and player safety.

Such a fraud.

The Bills need something to happen NOW! Sign Brandon Cooks or ask Amari Cooper to unretire...something to help that offense. Maybe Joe Brady should grow a brain or morph into Brian Daboll?

This is not hard to figure out. Receivers were blanketed so his only choice was to scramble and try to buy time for them to get free from their defender. The choice was try to buy time and make a play, or throw it away. Practically speaking, the choice was between punting on 4th and 7 and 4th and 17. Nothing rookie about it. Bingo. How do others not see this?
