Not worried at all. I’d like to see what the team looks like by the time we’ve played the Chiefs. If were near to, or at full health by then and sitting there at 7-1, you’ve got to feel pretty good about running away with the AFC in what looks like a down year for so many teams.

The issue is the Bills have played dumb football for most of the season. The Jets, Dolphins and Saints were all in a game for far longer than they should have been. They only went 1-0 because of a miracle fourth quarter. A few people dismissed these wins as the Bills playing with their food. Well, in the Pats case, they choked on the dish.

Is that on your wish list for Santa Claus?

I didn’t say the Bills weren’t a good team, but they certainly didn’t play like one. Should’ve been an easy home W. My main concern is the way they lost and the general emergence of the Pats. The other concern is their laughably easy remaining schedule.

Staying up too late playing video games and then late for practice?

The Bills weren’t a young, up & coming team during those upsets with the 3rd overall pick quarterback. It’s not one loss I’m worried about. I’m worried about New England’s future potential. Everyone and their grandma knew those Bledsoe/ Fitz-led teams weren’t ever going to be true contenders. Seems like Vrabel is building at least something decent

Did you run out of insults?

Bills 31, birds 27.

Maybe panic is a bit extreme, but so is saying it’s realism that all of a sudden we are not a good football team. Three turnovers lost the game last week; that is extremely uncharacteristic for the Bills. The offense despite everyone complaining about it is one of the top offenses in the league. The defense actually played decently last week, but needs more consistent performances from a lot of guys. Last week the team played dumb football. Too many stupid penalties, stupid calls, just overall stupid. That will not likely recur.

except without any Offensive coaching talent. You see him running into that blue tent to grab (what he hopes is) his latest meal ticket?

For me it's simple. We're the much better team because we have Allen. The Patriots are the much better coached team. When we turn the ball over, dealing with injuries and need our coaches to do more. We lose.

We never beaten them at home, with an emerging QB, a head coach who previously found success in the league, and a promising free agent and draft class. This win didn't feel fluky; it felt like our five-year division run will actually be challenged.

It’s not panic. It’s being realistic. The Bills are only a game ahead. I think it’s a valid conversation to have. Thankfully they should have Lamar back by then.

They cops have all the info. they upcharged him from a few misdemeanors to felony assault after they gathered video and witness evidence. there's no chance this poor old working man was in the wrong. he was righteously defending himself. he tried nonlethal force initially and Sanchez kept at him. my guess is that this old cat keeps a knife on him because his line of work involves driving to the backs of bars (to empty their filthy grease pits) that are loaded with drunk failbros all the time. Ol Marky Mark gonna be putting together The Green Machine 3 next season.....

The panic over one close loss is over the top. The Pats played a good game, we didn’t, and we still should have won. And I’m sorry but they do teach tackling and catching the ball, but the coaches can’t do it for them.

I heard yesterday on Sirius [Dr. Chao] that the doc who came out of the tent was the team doc [an orthopod], who left when he was no longer needed. Still a bad look for Daboll, suspect there will be a fine, likely the Giants ownership will have a word with Goodell about the incident.

Patriots have a much easier schedule going forward. We may be pulling for the Ravens against them.

I am just revisiting this topic now that we have a larger sample size to sort through. The season has kind of gone the way I thought it would. I knew Miami & NY wouldn’t compete. I never would’ve guessed they (Pats) went into Orchard Park and won.

Our goal this season should be 13-14 wins, the Number #1 seed in the AFC and ultimately a Super Bowl championship. The Patriots should just be happy to win 9-10 games and make the playoffs. If the division is still in play down the stretch, something went horribly wrong and we need to be talking about who deserves to be fired. We had a few wins against Tom Brady’s Patriots during his career. In-division upsets happen sometimes. That doesn’t mean we had a prayer at taking the AFC East.

The Chiefs are playing what could be the best team in the league this week. They lose and they’re 2-4, and they haven’t looked like the same Chiefs all year.

I am worried because Vrabel completely shut down James Cook and slowed Allen down considerably. 20 points is a joke for this offense. Buffalo should be putting up 30+ every game. McDermott was severely out coached. He gets way too conservative. I would’ve felt better running a 2 minute offense the entire game than hoping for the Bills to force a miracle turnover in a one possession game. On an even playing field, coaching wins you the game. Drop balls, missed blocks ARE his fault because McD is responsible who sees the field and instilling fundamentals. A fundamentally sound player doesn’t drop balls and miss tackles. The biggest concern though is the defense who let Maye effortlessly drive into FG range. This was exactly what happened last season except the Bills won by 3 that time. Would’ve been easier to stomach if it was a chaotic road game, but that’s what Maye was dealing with so gotta give him props.

I think the most vocal detractor was Joe Marino. I think a lot of the podcasters were pumping the brakes because while they saw upside the back injury and build, combined with playing as a single gapper mean he was he wasn't seen as a run stuffer and more of a 1-tech pass rusher. Being in the 4th round as a high reward low risk pick. That he is already one of the best run stuffers on the team, and has flashed those pass rushing skills as well has him easily top 2 in our most immediately impactful rookies and no disrespect to Hawes, Walker's ceiling is much much higher. He's already exceeded what I would have considered a success for the season and Beane might have found a top tier player in the 4th round. Can we have Beane just draft defenders 4th round and back?

Both are 11/12 win teams with their schedules. The game in Foxboro will have massive implications. I broke our schedule down before the season. I wouldn't make any changes: 4-4 vs this bucket Ravens Pats Chiefs Bucs Steelers Bengals Pats Eagles 7-2 vs this bucket Jets Dolphins Saints Falcons Panthers Dolphins Texans Browns Jets

Mestemaker didn't do himself any favors last night with 3 interceptions on primetime TV.
