I'm intimately familiar with the Bills' strengths and weaknesses, but on principle I refuse to watch Patriots games (Bills fans in NE will know why), except when they play us. Can someone give me rundown of where they're strong and weak, especially vis a vis the Bills? The rundowns I can find online are insipid, fatuous, partisan, obnoxious, obsequious, opaque, overly long, sophomoric, pretentious, officious, and/or dated.

As the old Frenchman I worked with used to say, "I dink ee god da goud!" 🤔 (I think he's got the gout.)

But the Eagles are not there because they spend all the money on one guy. They drafted pretty well when they had the chance - Jalen carter, Jordan Davis, Cooper DeJean for examples. A friend of mine working for a sports agency had a chance working along side a former GM who did consulting for them. He said the simplest way to look at the money perspective is 22 starters averaging $10 million each for the season, which would take up $220 million. The rest of the cap $50-60 million taking care of the rest 32 guys on the roster. If you have a super star, like Allen who will be counting $60+ million in 2026, then you need to find 5 capable guys in the 22 starters to make next to nothing. For Justin Jefferson who is making $35 million, you are asking 2.5 guys in the 22 to make next to nothing. Guys making next to nothing but is capable of starting are typically your 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks. Every year you get to draft 3. Allowing 1/3 failure rate (which is really an unrealistic drafting record), you are talking about 3 year of good drafting to make it work. How many starters the Bills have that makes almost nothing? If don't have enough from your draft, you have to fill from the scrap yard. We are lucky to find guys like Edwards. But the more likelihood is guys like Poyer, White who really should not be your starters. Note the signing of Joey Bosa is not a scrap yard move. You paid for a quality starter and he gave you just that, at least so far.

Oh yeah, one last thing. Not only do I want to beat them Sunday, once we run the table and those p#@$&ers lose to the Ravesn and Fish would be fitting. Get them again, this time in our house in the divisional round, and bury them. Their reign is over. F#@$k them. We can repeat this nettle next year.

We’ll never know because the god awful Buffalo media never get to the bottom of anything

The thing that makes me want to scream is how there always has to be a huge asterisk next to the majority of our top players that says "when healthy" next to it. If you're never healthy more than a few games, you're as much a liability as an every-game JAG. Durability is the biggest problem this team has, year after year.

Wow! Joe’s B’day goin’ on over 2 days now. Kinda like having divorced parents.

Allen, Cook and Dalton are play makers. The rest of the team is c+ to b+ players, with maybe 1 or 2 offensive lineman and our CB1 just this side of A (and our one year rental DE, when healthy.) With Josh Allen, you have a chance as long as those B players have the right mindset.

Me too🤷‍♂️ Josh and the JAGs

Why would anyone believe Liz Wheeler? - roundy There are no Tren de Aragua gang members in Colorado apartments. Joe Biden is fine. Trump told people to inject bleach. Trump called neo Nazis very fine people. Trans women are women. - also roundy This is why we believe Liz Wheeler.

Orange man living rent free still.

He's up there for me as well. Mainly because he is a complete fake and liar. The emotional immaturity is just the cherry on top. The only reason it wont turn bad in New England is because he's too old.

This is fair.. and as we’re seeing, teams that pay their QB (Philly aside) have major holes due to that. Burrow defenders will justifiably point to how unbelievably well he played before those picks and in the drive after (accurate, he was amazing). But when you make what he makes, and furthermore advocate for a huge chunk of cap to go to your top two WR’s, you can’t be the one who makes those mistakes. You shouldn’t expect your defense to bail you out. You knew the deal when you signed your contract and went above and beyond to advocate for Chase & Higgins. I don’t blame him if the injuries are getting to him. And the Bengals, prior to this year, are responsible for not protecting him. But in terms of this singular game, you know the deal. You’ve got to outscore people. You can’t throw a pick six in the 4th Q and expect to beat another elite QB (who’s also covering up for holes on his team).

Playing Madden with him on the Eagles.

No offense but this is extremely bad take. First of all it's not true. We'd win more even with Trubisky against other teams with their starting QBs. Second it's sort of logical, isn't it? When you start backup, you win much less games. That's the point. Starters are starters for a reason. Third, if you want to make a valid argument, then you need to start Trubisky (or any other backup) on EVERY team. How many games we'd win in such case? Still three? Fourth, it's logical that we have worse team than an average one when you take starting QBs out of the equation. We are paying a lot to Allen (so we can pay less to others) and were are drafting lower than anybody else except the Chiefs thanks to Allen.

I am still upset that no one even gave a single laugh emoji when I said he was hanging out with Dri Archer... pearls before swine

You believed Tim Walz was a great pick. People make mistakes.

Impressive, a deer would be tougher than a turkey for sure. In fall/spring gear I've got a good method where I get into a deep squat and grip a thin tree or my trailer hitch for leverage. This allows adequate pants clearance. When it really gets tough is duck hunting in waders. That's one I have yet to figure out when you're on short notice.

100% There was about 5 minutes to go and the Bengals were up 3 with the ball at the Bills 30 (ish) Run a couple minutes of clock and score a TD (which seemed inevitable without the pick) and you're up 10 with between 2-3 minutes to play. Burrow blew it. I think if Belichick has any NFL offers the most likely team is actually the Bengals. Since they have no GM there's no issue there. There's big problems and their overrated HC is terrible. Burrow is having a public meltdown. Now, they are the Bengals, so the most likely outcome is that they try to stick it to Burrow, and Brown tells him "you work for me son" and plays hardball. But there's a chance they get a clue and hire a real HC, and whatever Belichick is or isn't he with a great QB would be very dangerous again. Don't forget: when the Bengals used to play defense too they were extremely tough. They don't even need to be good or great, even a middle of the road defense would make them a SB contender. Right now they are laughably bad.

Why in the world would anyone believe Liz Wheeler

I think you might have misread my comment ---- I don't think we have a strong defense by any means. Our pass rush is suffering without Ed and Hoecht, both key pieces to what we were trying to do. Our secondary is inconsistent at times too. But the hope is we continue to improve with the pieces we have left and some of the younger players (Walker, Sanders, Max) can step up at critical times. I'm very encouraged that we have started to "sure up" the run defense --- more passing/leads to more turnover opportunities, and getting teams into obvious passing situations. But the key thing --- is winning the turnover battle. That's the ultimate differentiator

I think part of it was keeping Allen under wraps as long as possible to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Look at Jackson: hamstring injury, knee injury, a shell of himself. Not able to really run. Very very rarely is a QB able to just put on the cape and become undefendable. And it doesn't usually last long. Cam Newton is the last guy I can remember who could physically take over a game. People forget just how unbelievable he was for a couple of years. He was undefendable. Allen is even better, and I can totally see him simply taking over playoff games and leading us all the way. It's not something you would ideally count on, but when you have a cheat code you might as well use it.

But we can have pencils with Democrats, Trump says no!
