Reminds me of the old saying, "Past results do not equal future success" Now, that said, it's football and wild things happen. And there are still enough weeks to mathematically win the division, #1 seed or whatever people want to see. This is a discussion board. And as such, both the people that feel the Bills can overcome and the people saying they may miss the playoffs at this point have very valid arguments. I think we ALL wish the Bills were closing in on the top seed, but here we are. No, we don't know what the rest of the season holds. At this point they could win out or lose out...and neither would particularly shock me at this point. It's just a disappointment that we couldn't put away teams like Atlanta and Miami. Or New England in our building. Seems like every time we get something rolling, we get hit with a fresh batch of key injuries. Right now, we need to wrap Cole Bishop up in bubble wrap. I will say it again because it merits repeating. Both the Gloomy Gus's and the Homers have valid points. The season can go in a million directions, from a Super Bowl win to eliminated from the playoffs by week 16 or 17. I know where I feel like it's heading, but it doesn't mean my opinion is the only valid one.

Josh deserves a HC that runs the offense and calls the plays and will stay in Buffalo as long as Allen and him are winning.

Because narratives create clicks, not facts.

Reliable.

Because it happens all the time in the NFL? Not the least of all with this team multiple times over the past several years?

I really don’t study this stuff the way some do, but I’d prefer an offensive HC so we don’t have to keep changing coordinators (like we do now) because if they suck they have to go, and if they are good they get poached. For that reason Vrabel, while I like and respect him as a coach, would not be ideal for me. Johnson had never been a HC before, and that gave me some concern. Harbaugh just annoys the &^%* out of me and seems to wear his welcome out quickly, so that wouldn’t be ideal for me. And so on….a lot of decent options but none that I personally just have to have. But what do I know? I don’t know who it will be or when, but something will happen at some point and I’ll probably go along with it. Some HC prospects (and I won’t argue specific names here as I’m tired of this already 😊) could push me over the edge. Not in a desperate way, but in an “I just don’t care any more” way. I don’t miss the NBA, and I have yet to watch my college hoops team play a game this season. I seem to be getting more balance in my life about this stuff, so it’s easier to take it or leave it.

😂 This story is completely made up. In fact, when this Fake News published, I was in the Oval Office, where President Trump was meeting with his law enforcement team, including FBI Director Kash Patel. I read the headline to the President and he laughed. He said: “What? That’s totally false. Come on Kash, let’s take a picture to show them you’re doing a great job!” Do not believe the Fake News!

Understand and I respect your opinion.

yea, I’ve contemplated that before. Just feels like after some number of them, it’s got to be more than coincidence. there are a lot of very good but not great WRs out there, and no one really moving quiet like him and those even remotely close have drama usually I suspect someday it’ll make more sense but if there is stress that follows him, good on him for handling those issues behind closed doors and not on social media

I've heard this narrative brought up every time Allen is discussed in mainstream circles. Allen career int percentage 2.3% Drew Brees career int percentage 2.3% Josh Allen int % since 2019 including the playoffs, 2.1 % Allen .9 int % in the playoffs ( lowest all time) Montana 2.9 int % in the playoffs Allen also has the lowest turnover percentage in NFL playoff history from what I read. I haven't confirmed if that's true. But it's certainly extremely low I then read that since the turnover worthy stat was created, Allen is top 5 in the least amount of turnover worthy plays in the playoffs... Allen ints in first 121 starts- 93 int Tom Brady in first 121 starts - 91 int Allen from 18-23 78 int , 107 total turnovers Tom Brady from 01- 06, 78 int , 101 total turnovers Allen in 2024 had the lowest amount of negative plays in NFL history, fumbles, ints and sacks.... I'm not saying Allen is perfect, and he can definitely be streaky sometimes, but these numbers not only suggest the narrative is wrong, but that it's actually the opposite. Especially in the biggest pressure moments. Why does this keep being brought up every time Allen is discussed. I find it bizarre

Allen is 30 next season. If not now, when? Roster management: too many bloated contracts for underperforming free-agents and re-signed players, and too many underperforming top picks. Some good players but not nearly enough elite ones to win it all. Coaching: In the history of the NFL, McD and Josh winning together would be an outlier. Could still happen but I don't like betting on historical outliers.

The only thing that matters for the Bills in the 2025 season right now is going into Pittsburgh and winning the game. With all the broken bodies it will be a challenge for the entire team. I'm hopeful, Go Bills.

The Bills can still beat anyone on their schedule, and any team they run into in the Playoffs...heck even on a slightly off day... What they can't do is have bad, poorly coached and game-planned days because they are super thinned out due to injury and the margin for error is just not what it used to be. And lately, even though I really think they are built to win in multiple ways, especially on Offense, they just seem reluctant to game plan to the the opponents weaknesses. And I think that has led to the turnovers and mistakes that have put them in bad game scripts against teams they should beat. I'm not writing anything off, and the chances are never zero... but I just can't help but feel this season got off on the wrong foot right from the start with the two suspensions, then the Max injury, then the Oliver injuries, and has only come close to stabilizing right after the bye. Then Hoecht gets hurt and it's just worse. We'll never get close to seeing what this Defense was supposed to be in 2025. Heck even the seemingly minor injuries to Strong and Sanders were HUGE blows to depth... Kincaid can't stay healthy... It's just been a mess... The fact they they are 7-4 is proof positive they are a very dangerous team. Because man have they had issues...Talent issues, coaching issues, depth issues, game plan issues, scheme issues, penalty issues, and of course worst of all injury issues...

It might be less complicated than we think. The Saints traded him for a first to a Super Bowl window team in need of a separator, and he had a great season for NE. Then NE traded him and a 4th for a first rounder from the Rams, which they used to select Isaiah Wynn (at a point where they needed o-line help). He had a great season in 2018, but in 2019 suffered two concussions, missed time, and the Rams didn't make the playoffs. They did a bit a of a rebuild and shipped him and a fourth to Houston for a 2nd round pick, which they used on Van Jefferson (a younger, cheaper WR). Houston was the third team in four years that he was traded to that was in a SB window. Houston was very good in 2019, beating the Bills in the playoffs and building a big lead vs KC before collapsing. They were after Cooks because they had to replace D'Andre Hopkins, whom Bill O'Brien had a beef with. Cooks was very good for the Texans, and actually signed a two-year extension worth nearly $40 million in 2022. Then, a very bad Houston team traded him AGAIN for two picks (a 5th and 6th) because at the time they were in a massive pick acquisition phase (they had an extremely small number of picks in 2020 and 2021; Davis Mills was their top pick in 2021 and he was a 3rd rounder). The team that traded for him -- the Cowboys -- was yet ANOTHER team in a SB window, coming off a 12-5 season. They went 12-5 again with Cooks, who was solid for them (50+ catches; 8 TDs). The point is, in every instance the trade made sense. All the teams were willing to give up real resources for him. The Cowboys gave up the least, but then again they had to take on his salary and they still gave up a 5th and 6th -- not chump change. All of the 5th and 6th rounders the Texans took in 2023 are still on the team, and To'oTo'o made some plays vs the Bills on Thursday: His career is very weird, but at every point the move made sense for the two parties involved, and not because he was a problem in his prior location.

How can you with a straight face say that this unimaginative sputtering garbage of an offense and this absolute sieve of a defense will somehow “ get hot” in the stretch run. Come on man.

Transwomen are women. - teef, Roundy, Billsdouche

sure but i mean come on DE is not exactly the most difficult position to play/learn

Yes players era tournament in Vegas Syracuse got a guaranteed $1 million in nil money for participating

Is this some kinda tournament?

I was smoking with the boys upstairs When I heard about the whole affair I said, "Whoa, no William and Mary won't do Well, I did not think the girl could be so cruel And I'm never going back to my old school

Follow up bonus - For those that love that scene or just watched it for the first time and liked it - here is a hilarious Christmas recreation of it on SNL with Alec Baldwin.

Of course it's possible when you have Josh Allen at QB, sure. The Bills were 7-6 with dire playoff hopes because we looked abysmal in multiple games in 2021 and won their last 4 games and we all know what happened. The Bills were 6-6 with pretty dire playoff hopes because we looked abysmal in multiple games in 2024 and won their last 5 games and ended up in the divisional round where we were a Dion Dawkins block away from winning or a Tyler Bass field goal away from potentially winning a home game against the Chiefs. We've looked terrible this year in multiple games, but it's head-scratching to me how short everyone's memory is. This isn't new.

I’m a Bills fan and have been since the Rockpile, and I’m becoming less of an NFL fan by the year. But you feel free to keep assuming you know more than you do. That was, after all, kind of my point.
