Oh no!

I see what you did there!

Not a good sign that he isn’t even limited.

I dunno, pretty much what I have been saying most of the year... as well as many many other posters ... not a revelation... quite honestly, if you gave McD truth serum I suspect he would say the same thing...

Wtf?!?! How many friggin practice injuries are we going to get?!?! I agree with @HappyDays Put Benford on ice. I might do the same for anyone else who's still dealing with a lingering injury like Bosa, Brown and Palmer. I would 100% take going into the playoffs as the 7th seed with all our guys as close to healthy as they can get over a banged up division winner with those guys questionable for the playoffs.

I’m over these practice injuries.

I don't think many teams can consistently win games for a longer period of time with their back up QB. It's especially difficult to get a top notch back up when you are already paying your existing QB substantially. The Bills have been very fortunate that Allen has been very durable. I don't even wanna think about Allen going down and Mitch taking over for a significant stretch. Most would agree the playoffs would be a long shot.

We really need to win out and have NE drop another one.

Oh this is not gonna go over well...

* sues. Dang spell check

Bills are much better at home than in road. Divisiion is a big deal, I think.

I'd just sit him and get him healthy. As important as this game feels we don't need it. Anyways Pats WRs are a middle of the pack type group so we can get by without him I think.

I think the run defense has improved with Shaq Thompson being inserted in place of Bernard. Bernard must have been injured because he was playing like dog poop. However, Shaq is not a very good pass defender. Very good post too.

Sean on with Sal: Benford has in injured toe and wont practice. Not sure if he will play sunday.

I know why. I live in NH.

Based on his pattern history, we have the opportunity to start the toxic Diggs cycle in New England this weekend. 😈

Not only your description which is accurate but he takes about a season or two to alienate teammates and the coaching staff. When he doesn’t get targets or the team starts losing,he mopes around and starts pointing fingers. He’s a me guy and after cancerizing the locker room, teams look to dump his contract. He’s the grizzled veteran leader right now in NE but my prediction he’ll be gone year after next.

Tie breakers within a division: 1) Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). 2) Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. 3) Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. 4) Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 5) Strength of victory in all games. 6) Strength of schedule in all games. The Bucs losing hurts us in the strength of victory tiebreaker

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.
