Reading books. I'm working through Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy's The Men Who Lost America. Dean Snow's 1777 is very good. Just re-read Jonathan Grenier's The First Way of War...actually does Burns cover the Gnaddenhutten Massacre at all?

It's pretty simple, really. If the offense can simply avoid turning the ball over, they likely win. In all 4 of the Bills' losses this year they committed multiple turnovers. Meanwhile, it would be nice if the defense could force some turnover of their own for a change.

I agree. Tom Brady should be fired from his broadcasting job.

Good coaching can do wonders. Aaron Kromer is known for getting the most out of the guys he has even if they aren't all super talented. He gets those five to play good together as a unit and that's all you can hope for.

Part of me feels that they should just throw in the towel and concentrate on making corrections for next year, but the logical one in me keeps saying that nothing will change next year anyways, so what's the point anymore. I think the FO has proved that they aren't going anywhere with this status quo regime, since they've had 8 years already with nothing to show for it and us fans know that the horizon doesn't look any brighter no matter if it's this season or next. Poor coaching, poor drafting, poor FO decisions, poor talent, poor everything right across the board. SB or bust.

Higgins injury looked scary I think he was knocked out for a second.. he may not be back for a bit.

Yes, a one-handed man is our best starting option at defensive end.

Why does it matter if we are AFC East champs? We have done that six years in a row without the end result we are looking for. If you don't get the #1 seed it doesn't matter. Home field advantage is not what it used to be. Get us in and let Josh be Josh

And Chase. And Higgins for a stretch. Maybe Chase will spit on someone from Baltimore Thanksgiving night? Jokes aside you know we'll be playing both those guys plus Burrow by the time our game rolls around, then we get the Pats coming off the bye

Well, he is an expert at this too:

Cool, maybe they'll run for under 150 against us instead of 200+ yards. With all of our injuries we might be starting a Defense of street FA's by the time we face them.

Well the OLine was beyond terrible last year, so bad that 4 of the 5 starters this year are new and 2 of those are rookies. So they did a great job making it a competent group but only so much you can do in 1 off season.. I am just hoping the Oline coach was part of the issue last year and Lowe is at least serviceable enough where he doesn’t get Maye killed back there

Let me show you my separation skills.

Burrow could still be rusty. And the Bills tend to.play better vs good QB's this season.

Bean looking to trade JA for a couple 1sts to address the holes at WR 🙄

This is a really good question given how this word is used in today’s politics. At its simplest, Patriot means one who loves their country. Then we need to examine what the word love means. It’s easy to love when no sacrifice is required. Those who sacrifice working for America in the military or in other capacities, representing America in foreign lands would certainly qualify. Politicians who serve with honor and loyalty to the Constitution, working for the betterment of all Americans, would qualify. Those whose actions put the welfare of their fellow citizens and our nation above their own self interest would qualify. Actions matter more than words.

It definitely does. It feels like Beane and McDermott value culture over talent.

To put it another way on how desperate we are: The bar is definitely reaching close to closing time. And that 4 foot tall brunette that goes about 350...well she's not that bad. Her mustache matches her beard really well. And she has a great personality....

Bring in Shaq and use more Epenesa in the meantime, sign/promote someone on the Practice Squad, hell, I don’t know, but it would be hard to do LESS than Bosa is doing right now, and that’s why I am proposing this. Bosa is an elite pass rusher when healthy. If we don’t have that, this team is 100% going nowhere in the playoffs (if we make it). I would rather not make the playoffs at all than get the 6th or 7th wild card seed and watch Bosa continue to rush with 1 hand. Perhaps the only silver lining in the latter is yet another year of playoffs without a pass rush might be the final straw for McBeane, and that is a good thing, even though it’ll be sad to see them go.

If Stafford decides to play another 2 seasons or so after this one as he hinted this past offseason, that's also another option for them. I've said that if the Bills are stuck in no man's land for a few years between legit SB contender and mediocre, is Josh Allen content to be on a team that he knows is never going to be good enough to win a championship? I don't know if this FO would ever trade him or if Josh would ever decide he wants to be traded, but at some point Josh is going to have to make that decision.

Bills miss playoffs this year and next year (with cap issues). This is the team we are stuck with and 2027 will be the big bounce-back year. I am thinking a Rams type of rebound. Next year MIGHT be saved since it won't be a 1st place schedule. I REALLY hope a good Offensive coordinator becomes available next year because Joe Brady is a freaking disaster.

Yeah at this point he looks like a big time problem child... Then again, we are desperate... lol...

We have a winning record because the GM lucked out on picking the right QB

it’s almost as if talent matters

They are the hands on favorite to win the superbowl this year?
