Good. Now we have the opportunity to win fair and square. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Any game played is “ fair and square” , injures are part of the game. Does this mean we will be hearing from our fans if Davis doesn’t play, or if Beasley is hurt , or if smoke reinjures the knee , or the fact that moss is totally out that the game was not fair and square ? Do you think you ll hear one Chief fan make excuses for a win because the Bills didn’t have moss, or Davis ? Hardly. Plus don’t kid yourself or be naive that the Bills will avoid trying to test the turf toe or hit mahomes any chance they get just to see if perhaps they can get him out of the game. Man , that’s what the game of football is. Have the giants ever apologized because hostetler beat us in SB 25 , because it wasn’t fair and square to play without Sims? All this self righteousness by Bills fans is laughable and foolishness. Same fans have complained how the BILLS don’t get CREDIT for having the roughest road compared to the remaining teams, now want fairness by having Mahomes play. Maybe we should postpone the game until his turf toe is gone so things will fair, it’s the same argument.
Look , injuries and how you deal and plan for them are part of the process and this teams that overcome them move on and If they lose there is no asterisk in the record book! Just like there is No GOLD STAR added because you beat a team with all their starters! Will,you feel better if we lose because Mahomes threw 4 td passes or if he missed the game and we went on to the super bowl and actually brought the Lombardy home finally? Their rb CEH, who killed us the first game is not 100%, so if we win I don’t think it would be “ fair” for you to enjoy the win or celebrate at the airport or go to Sb 55! Bills fans kill me, after 25 years of lousy teams , no playoff wins , now we are SO GOOD , SO MORALLY SUPERIOR, WE NEED TO QUALIFY OUR WINS by making sure the other team had their best chance to beat us!
I don’t care if half their team misses the game because they got some bad chicken and had diarrhea all,day; I will celebrate a win because that’s how it works in the NFL. You play who is out there. Hey did Kc qualify the week 6 win with all the covid rescheduling , our LB crew decimated by injuries , Josh playing with an injured shoulder, Wallace out with an injury? Is here an Asterisk in record book noting all that ,,,,,, or have we heard all week on every show how the Chiefs ran all over us and almost every so called expert smirking when asked how can the Bills make this competitive? Yeah , almost none give us a shot to win but our main concern is let’s be sure the Chefs have a fair shot and they are at their best despite our own players dealing with injuries or recovering from ankle surgery! Hey, it’s ok if we lose as long as it was fair and mahomes gets a second shot another SB win!
Screw thAt ! Where the heck can I find the phone number of the guy who took out Nancy Kerrigan? Hmm, Mahooley........😊😂😜. Man I just want us to win, we can worry about fairness and quality of win during our second run! Just remember that old saying ,,,,,been around forever for a reason ,,,BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR! Go BILLS , SCREW EVERYBODY ELSE , ESPECIALLY THE CHIEFS !

I purchased after market endzone seats (pre-internet) in both Atlanta and Pasadena the last two times the Bills were in the Superbowl. The tickets cost me $500 apiece, which seemed like a lot back then. According to an inflation calculator those same seats should cost $900 today.....I'm guessing they are WAY MORE than that.
I did the same. Was Pasadena on the end zone , end line where Beebe knocked the ball out of Leon’s hand. I was across the field but had a great view of it. Micheal Jackson was halftime show. I still have a whole poster of in cut cards beomf printed any sold outside the stadium. In Atlanta I went to the NFL experience and met the Jags owner as he was buying the Jaguar helmet being painted by peter maxx. Seats there were not as good , but at least we were leading at halftime. The. Thurman fumbled and things went down hill. Last time I checked the tickets are now several thousand dollars like 8-10 k for those types of seats. With covid I bet the price will soar. Well.at least seven made it a.couple of times ! 😉😀

I’d argue we’ve faced two better defenses than theirs so far and we didn’t need much of a run game. Totally ok with staying the course.
You look at things from a very narrow minded POV. Listen to someone who knows more than either of us, someone who has played , is an analyst for a living. For example listen to Chris sims and his father Phil. Both categorically said the Colts kicked the Bills ass all around the field and the Bills got fortunate, colts leaving 10 easy points on the field.
The Colts were a more balanced team and probably should have won. They outgunned us by almost 100 yards and won the TOP by just under 10 min. We won 27-24. It’s great we found a way to win, but KC is much more balanced. We didn’t fear the deep ball with rivers; against Lamar we only had to stop the run. Two games where our defense could focus on taking away the run , and we still came close to Rivers beating us only losing on a failed Hail Mary. Our O struggled against the Ravens putting up 10 points! If our O only puts up 10 points this week, I am sure we will be in trouble.
Kc can run , their qb can scramble, they have a great tight end and they have deep speed with Mahomes able to hit anyone at any place in the field. Both Sims stated the Browns offense AT THIS POINT, is more dynamic than Buffalos offense. Hard to argue as they have two good running backs , a good tight end, Landry , Higgins and more. Buffalo has diggs,,,,brown is improving , Beasley is hurt( even sims pointed out he ran the same route almost 100%), Davis possibly hurt , moss out, Knox is still Knox and inconsistent, devin is an avg back and they just use him as a safety valve and maybe 1-2 screen attempts a game. Even with a good running game, Kc still out gained the Browns by over 100 yards and Kc managed a 22-17 win. HOWEVER, The browns run game kept Kc off the field. Do you know what the TOP DIFFERENTIAL WAS? Look it up. It was under ONE MINUTE.! Kc just over 30 min and cleveland just over 29 min. There was no 10 min DEFICIT TOP LIke WE Had IN THE COLTS GAME !
So make fun or belittle the poster suggesting not having a run game MAY BECOME AN ISSUE. FACT; Our passing game has struggled the past two weeks. It might be because we have injuries, or it might be because we are so one dimensional that it is getting easier to defend our passing game. One thing running does do is chew up clock and help limit KC’s possessions. Right NOW , our passing game alone is struggling,,,10 points last week. I hope our passing game finds its prime again. I hope our short passing game is on because I am pretty sure Kc will take away the deep gsme like they did against us before. Some semblance of a running game could be huge for us., including Allen running. If we can get close to 100 yards I think it will keep the TOP close enough so we limit their opportunities to score and increase our opportunities. If we are so one dimensional that we lose the TOP by ten min like we did against the Colts , I am pretty sure lightning won’t strike twice with us squeaking out a 3 point win.
I get your argument , well we still won. Well, every week and every game is different.Let’s try to be objective, look a little more in depth. I sure can’t see any negative if we can run the ball, but I do see a potential problem if we only pass the ball. The remaining teams are balanced. I hope we can be that anomaly that wins only passing. I just think our chances improve with being able to run as well. 😉 -

Ok, I think she is allowed to jump on the Bandwagon. Do you guys agree?
Hmmm , grip a little separated, stance is pretty wide, closed despite open club face. Balance seems like she is leaning forward quite a bit, maybe because her hair is blocking her line of sight to the ball. Just with a QUICK glance, not seeing how she moves her hips, how she keeps her head down etc, she probably has some game to work with. Being a Bills fan from even before the SB years, and having been the captain of my high school golf team, I an obviously qualified to volunteer some time to help her work on that swing and I have lots of Bills memorabilia, jerseys to try on etc so she doesn’t feel left out ! Golf is a solitary sport, so she probably doesn’t have many people to turn to for both good golf and great Bills knowledge all in one place. Hey I live 2 min up the street from the TPC at Sawgrass, SO if you happen to be in the area,,,,,,,,,😇😎

This will be the most relaxing week I'm going to have. Queefs will get demolished this Sunday. I can see Matt Barkely handing the ball off to Yeldon and Dingleberry (Singletary if he played well) at the start of the 4th quarter because Bills already won the lopsided game.
Before anything , have to say Joe Fergy was one of my favorite past Bills. He was always exciting and a tough QB. I wish I could feel so relaxed. I guess it’s possible to feel that way if you feel this is enough, we exceeded expectations so whatever happens now is “ gravy”. I can understand that but I’ve been around since the 60’s so I’ve seen some really great things and I’ve seen more than a fans fair share of bad things like music city miracle and hail Murray’s. All this has reinforced one thing; it’s been an amazing season , one of the best in Bills history, and by acknowledging that, it is proof just how rare this moment is. Not only is talent involved but luck is important like avoiding critical injuries, the ball bouncing off the uprights, recovering a key fumble, etc. Philip Rivers can attest to that as he ended his 17 year career today with 0 titles, 0 appearances in the SB.
So I feel a little Nervous because a lot has gone into this season to get us here. Two good opponents pushed us and while we won and are learning how to win, our strength which is our Offense has not had convincing performances as we moved forward. Our receivers seemed dinged up and honestly , I don’t remember a good Bills team who has had an almost non existent run game like we saw these two weeks. We have to travel to face the defending champions who have been thru the learning process of overcoming a deficit in a SB to win the one title our Franchise has never accomplished. They will have Mahomes ( no protocol will be enforced by the NFL to make its largest star sit out, too much money from networks /Vegas / advertisers/ sponsers at stake), with a great tight end, good receiving Corp, and perhaps the best head coach this side of Belichick who already out-coached us once this year. So far, out of the remaining 4 teams, most experts are downplaying our chances and we are the only team with a QB with no SB Experience or SB WIN. Just looking at those facts it does seem like odds are against us going further.
But we have kept winning. We keep making just enough plays to overcome mistakes or inexperience. So in my heart, I selfishly won’t feel content because we got to the AFC championship. We are there now, so knowing how hard it is to get there, how special this run has been with this record matching our best ever, it does feel like we could actually do this. I don’t believe this team will be satisfied just making this game and I think they would feel crushed after getting to this point if it should slip away. So I am not in a zen state. Really happy we are relevant, but all the “lost” years are still a big burden and I so wish to put that all to rest. The lack of running is worrisome; I think it’s hard to be one dimensional and hope Daboll brings out his creativity, which has been toned down recently. Can Frazier be a magician like he was last week ? We are SO CLOSE, in a position we haven’t experienced since 1994. I was at that SB in 94; I wish I could convey how amazing it is to be one of the final two standing! I don’t know the feeling of winning a SB, unlike the fans of the other 3 remaining teams. I remember walking down the ramps in Atlanta being heckled by Cowboy fans after losing our halftime lead and letting one final SB get away. I just know how evasive winning it all has been. I admire people who are relaxed , zen like , believing we will roll the Chiefs etc.
I believe we can win, but after so many years of falling short, I think this game is about solving an offense that is prolific and balanced. Mahomes can pass, scramble , throw to any part of the field ( rivers & Lamar couldn’t do that ), is experienced and not prone to panic or turnovers. Can Allen keep his calm, stay confident, stay patient, avoid fumbles , avoid hero ball and not take sacks that push us out of fg range? I think the answer is yes if we can get at least some help from the run game. That’s what makes me nervous. I think Allen and this team do have enough talent to win it all. I have to be honest tho, the one dimensional aspect of placing everything on Josh seems like our Achilles heel. I really have grown to love this teams sense of playing for each other, and I want them to experience the joy of going to the SB! So I’m having trouble shaking anxiety as I am hoping Frazier can scheme enough to derail the Maholmes train, and we overcome our difficulty running just enough to let Josh be the best Josh he can be ! So we finally get to feel the zen of winning it all ! I have waited 50 years for that feeling and we are just two games from experiencing it! It’s like studying or prepping for a huge test at the end of the year that is worth 50% of your grade; you’ve put in the hard work but is it enough to make that final grade the pass you need to move ahead one more step ?! Whew,,,,pressure ! Let’s go BUFF LO ! 😀😉

Did you mean fibula?
Yes , fibula as femur is the thigh bone above the knee. This procedure stabilizes the ankle mortise ( joint composed of smaller non weight bearing fibula , talus which allows the ankle to dorsiflex up and plantar flex down like pushing a gas pedal, and larger weight bearing tibia) so there is no lateral ( side to side) movement. There is a ligament or interosseous membrane of connective tissue that stabilizes or holds the fibula and tibia together so there is no large gap between them and provides stability against torsion or twisting forces between those two lower leg bones. In a High ankle sprain , that membrane or interosseous ligament is disrupted requiring long healing periods and is responsible for pain , edema , etc being worse than the more common grade 1 of 2 sprains seen when someone one rolls their ankle. Think of stepping off a curb wrongly as Your foot rolls inward toward your other foot and you get pain and swelling along the outside o your ankle. Those sprains heel within 2-4 weeks.
Add a torquing force transmitted above the ankle joint itself and the tibia / fibula syndesmosis ( fibrous material / joint ) gets separated or torn going up the middle part of the shin area,resulting in instability with any lateral ( side to side ) force applied to the ankle. Imagine how a running back has to stop and cut and imagine how much force that would create to either side of the ankle depending on the direction he was cutting. So to stabilize those two bones against lateral forces, they drill a hole , through and through, each bone ( tibia/ fibula, 2 holes in each in a straight line), thread a cable thru the holes with “ buttons” on the ends of the cable and draw the cable tight to prevent either tibia or fibula from moving laterally. Once healed , you have a tight ankle joint ( mortise) that would be much less likely to roll,sprain etc , but still has up/ down normal movement! And without the multiple screws that you might see in a compound fractured ankle. Amazing orthopedic technology. Moss will be great next year and this procedure will increase his ypc to 6-7! ( jk😀,but he should heal more quickly and get back to his normal business decision self). -

Big difference between playing psychic and predicting wins and being a "doubter."
I know the Bills can win any game against any team in the NFL. They're a legit Super Bowl contender moving forward.
That doesn't mean they'll win every game.
I'm 100% circling the wagons... but sorry, I won't crown us Super Bowl Champs til we win it.
I know. Just kind of having fun , tongue in cheek. 😂😀. It’s been forever since we have still been relevant this time of year. Usually we are listening to talk about draft order , prospects, needs, what can we look forward to next year! I understand the point and just was thinking for once in so long we are actually able to turn on sports talk shows in January and we have a game to look forward we are playing in! We are still talking x’s&o’s , matchups, who will we make active etc! Feels great, right!?
All of us are still circling the wagons as we enjoy the fun and excitement this team has given us this year ! Sure has been a good ride and I have enjoyed seeing Bills fans so happy. I experienced the 90’s as it was a prime time of my life. My Med career was just taking off , family was happy , my dad was still alive ( went to SB 28 with my dad, Saturday happened to be the 20 th anniversary of his passing from cancer and it made me think of him and maybe he was looking down and helped TJ return it for 6!), life was amazing. Some great Bills fans are too young to have felt this type of joy being a Bills fan or see the joy in their hometowns. So I was just thinking, go all in , it really does feel “real” this time as this is what being part of a winning franchise feels like! This is it, as good as the fan feeling gets, so don’t doubt it! Bask in it cuz it doesn’t come around often unless you happen to experience TB12, the 1& only GOAT!
This feels just as legit as any of the 90’s teams, with many of those Bills going on to HOF recognition. I know you are a great fan cuz you’re here, and just cuz I have been there, done that, I was hoping to convey that it’s a legit time to put doubt aside! It’s a great time to be alive ( we will get a handle on covid based on my years of science training) and a great time to be a Bills Believer! I apologize if I said anything stupid and I hope we both have a memorable AFC CHAMPIONSHIP weekend, and I would love that feeling of BUFFALOS GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL one more time!😀😉💪🏻👏👍 Best wishes my Bills Friend!

A lot of people will be eating crow!!!
Josh is singingI DID IT MY WAY!!!!
Feels so good , we built it brick by brick. The process , the hard work , build from ground up way! Develop your core rookies way!
Contrast that to the mercenaries of Tampa, cheapen the meaning of team/ culture way. Get out your wallet and buy the “ guns for hire” ; Brady, fournette, gronk, creepy/ criminal Antonio brown, suh,etc. How can you really cheer for a team like this? They will be gone next year and it’s not meaningful like it is for a team like the blue collar bills.
Mcd / Beane , who picked most of this talent from draft or from teams who had given up on these guys, truly did it their way! This way feels like it truly does have meaning. Teammates who care for each other and became the best versions of themselves! Not some I just want to play for a contender only mentality. If there is such a thing as karma, justice for the regular guy, we Bills mafia should be represented in Tampa, 30 years after “ wide right” , getting ready to start a new narrative of victory for the next generation of the most loyal fans in the world ! 😀👍

For the rest of the season... watching football on TV.
By the way, on a separate note, why do football commercials suck so badly now? It used to be a bunch of great beer commercials, and now the only entertaining ones are insurance commercials, and saying they are entertaining is a stretch.
Has the target market really gotten so old that insurance is more important than beer?
Next national commercial is Josh saying “ I am going to Disney world”! ( soon as it’s open , and I get my ——-covid vaccine . Throw in variation for moderna, pfizer, J&J, etc! ). 😎😉

I think some are being overly harsh in terms of Allen and especially Daboll vs. the Ravens.
Daboll
I generally understand the game plan and am fine with it. And I've been a huge critic of his for the last 3 years. But frankly, Josh Allen is the best player on the team and Diggs is the 2nd best player. Our OL has been quietly spectacular at pass blocking all season and not very good at run blocking. On top of that, we lost Moss last week, who was the better RB this season in an already below average RB corps. Once Yeldon was activated and the fan-favorite from week 17 Williams became inactive, it was pretty obvious we were going to come out passing. And you can argue that we shouldn't have called so many deep passes in the wind, but I think those shots ended up keeping the Ravens D honest and opened up the short to intermediate game, which was working well. The winds obviously affected the deep passes just like they affected FG kicking, but I'd guess Daboll was in Allen's ear that misses on the deep passes are fine as long as they aren't picked. And we were moving the ball fairly effectively in the 1st half against the best D I think Buffalo has faced all year and will face in the last game or (hopefully) 2 that they play. Davis should have had a TD. And the passing game in the first half opened up the run game a bit in the 2nd half, specifically for that first TD drive coming right out of the half.
I wish we could run the ball, too. But I don't think we have the RBs or OL to do it very much. Daboll didn't call a flawless game, but he called a pretty darn good game against a great D. If I were to critique him--and this is a season long critique--it's that I think when he decides to commit a little more to the run, he goes to the well 1 or 2 times too often. Yesterday at one point in the 2nd half Singletary got a good gain on 1st down and then we ran almost the same play on 2nd down and he was stuffed. I understand the theory, but I think he should just count his blessings we got positive yardage and get the ball back in the hands of his most dynamic players.
Allen
I think I covered some of it above, but I was actually impressed by him. Yes he had another fumble, but this one wasn't really his fault the way it was against the Colts. He was otherwise incredibly careful with the football. I can't think of a single pass that was nearly intercepted, can you? All of his deep passes that he missed were out of reach of absolutely anyone, including the pass to Diggs in double coverage that I think a lot of people were highly critical of. I think I was expecting Allen to run the ball more, but there were a number of plays that looked like RPOs where he chose to pass instead of run or hand off and overall, they seemed to be good decisions.
In the end, that wind just wreaked havoc on the game, but that wind was precisely the reason we drafted Allen in the first place. Other than those deep passes missed probably in part to the wind, Allen was fantastic in the short to intermediate passing game with some of his weekly "WOW!!!" passes like that one to Brown on the sideline that Al Michaels initially said was out of bounds. Heck, he completed 62% of his passes in that wind even with those deep misses while playing with an absence of 2 of his favorite targets in Beasley and Davis. He saw what our D was doing and did a good job in terms of finding a way to get a lead and then protecting that lead.
I honestly went into yesterday's game thinking that we'd lose. I know that sounds bad, but I just thought the Ravens offense would be able to score against our D and that our offense hadn't seen a D as strong and intimidating as Baltimore's. I was wrong and am so glad I was.
I won't doubt this team again. I wouldn't predict a Super Bowl win, but this team is ABSOLUTELY more than capable of beating absolutely ANY team remaining in the playoffs in the AFC or NFC.
Welcome back to the AFC Championship game, Buffalo!!!!
Isn’t saying “ I won’t doubt this team again “. , followed immediately by “ I wouldn’t predict a Super Bowl win” , actually an oxymoron or doubting the team again!? 😀. Just thinking you are either part of circling the wagons or you are outside the circle! Can’t straddle the line my friend as a true believer, after waiting a quarter of a century to experience how it feels to know your team has a legit chance to finally hoist the Lombardi! Finally putting the phrase “ wide right” to rest so there will never be another generation.of Bills Mafia who cringe at that phrase! Don’t doubt, don’t go into the game thinking “ we’d lose”! I was around for all 4 SB losses , plus much more.heartbreak over 35 years, and I can tell you this is how it feels to be an all in fan for a legit WINNING , SB bound Bills team at the beginning of our next dynasty, the next 4 in a row AFC CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETING CLUB BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR FRANCHISE QB!
So if you mean “ I won’t doubt this team again” , then help circle those wagons and don’t doubt this team again! 😀👍🍸💪🏻

I would venture a one Jim Kelly was LOSING his mind as was Mr. Smith, Andre and Thurman. Tally was proally wearing his spiderman outfit losing it too!!! Tasker was just smoking his cigar and thinking of how cilly it was. Even if NONE of that happened in real life it happened in my mind so I am good with that! It is a cluttered space up there!
GO BILLS!!!!!!
I was exchanging tweets with Janine ( ja9) Talley yesterday prior to the game. She tweeted about Bruce and Darryl dicussing gap control and asked how the rest of bills fans were doing. Was nice exchange. So I assume Darryl and Bruce were enjoying the day greatly. Tim grahmn had Darryl on his podcast earlier I. The week dicussung Baltimore. Was great seeing Darryl. He actually said it was Kelly’s fault and not Harmon dropping the pass in the 89 game, said ball was overthrown. Grahmn said he would revisit the video. Can check the podcast. Darryl looked good. I miss his intensity / leadership. Nobody looks as good in spidey spandex!

This plus Lawrence , huge cap space, two first round picks and I think 9 picks overall. An owner willing to spend money, is patient, and one who will be willing to give control to a coach who is a proven winner. Coughlin was great to start the franchise as it was 2 years of organizing before even playing the first game. Then he went with a good d coordinator in delrio, but no HC experience. Made another crazy pick with Gus Bradley. Compounded it by hiring little known Marone after he quit on the Bills. Who hires a red flag guy like that ? Bradley, marone, del rio all had years to turn things around. Remember, Coughlin who had the most success down here was straight from Boston college, so Urban coming from larger div 1 schools will not be in over his head. The community has not supported the team well because after Coughlin left, the have had almost zero success. They lucked out with a year under Bortles but let’s face it a 10-3 win over the rebuilding Bills was nothing to build a dynasty on.
If you haven’t read Urbans book, ABOVE THE LINE, it’s worth a read. It’s about his no nonsense philosophy on success and how he runs a locker room and holds everyone accountable. With the right staff, getting a bunch of new draft picks in , being able to draw free agents to a no state income tax environment, I bet he will have a winning record by his second year. He will be a big draw because of his success at Florida. Guy has a history of winning programs, anywhere he goes. If he stays 5 years it will be a great success given the turnover in the NFL and may get the franchise relevant again. Heck I would even travel the 15 min to go see the Bills kick the jags butt as urban builds them to relevance again !

an interesting idea.
personally I would tell anyone I liked to stay farrrrr from that place. That being said, we’d get a couple third rounders if it did happen.
Let’s see how serious a candidate he is after today’s game. Every pre game show today is talking about how Ravens beat us last year and how we gave up so many yards to “ even Philip Rivers”, expecting the Ravens run game to be unstoppable. Hope Mcd and Frazier are up to this. Hell, i give up 300 yards passing to Lamar but I’d be darned if I would let them run for 250 plus and beat us running when everyone in the world knows they are a running team and we are “ weak” against the run. If Frazier let’s the d get run into the ground , I am rethinking him as a head coach. Calm is great , but winning is what you get those big bucks for !

Yolo , as a fellow big buckeye guy, how big is this for this moribund Jax franchise His “above the line” philosophy and accountability are things Jax has lacked since coughlin went into Buffalo with Boselli and beat Bruce while ending Jimbo’s career I gave up my founding member jag season tickets after that and never regretted it as they have been boring and struggled just like the Bills during their drought This will turn Jax into a legit franchise again Sure wish urban was back at Ohio state tho I haven’t been to jags game in forever now as it conflicts too often w my only love the Bills. Now with urban being 20 min away ( and amazing fact , I did my medical residency at MERCY HOSPITAL in Toledo and Urban and Jim harbUgh were both BORN, delivered at that unit and that’s where I learned how to and performed my first solo delivery! ) I may go take in a game just to support a fellow native buckeye , and I may see if I can get an autograph and maybe take a little creative liberty and shake hands with him using the hand that may have been responsible for his first tears!
Lol! ( I am 63 so unless urban is around 38-40 , he prob got out of the womb before I had a shot at him! ) Harbaugh may have been dropped on his head , ending up In Michigan!

I just took a look at our snap count vs the ravens last year.
Edmunds and Milano had their expected 100%.
Lorenzo played 68%, but it doesn’t say how many snaps at LB and how many as a DL.
This season, Taron Johnson has been playing 80-100% of the snaps with a few scattered games from 55-79%. Last year, vs the ravens he played 38% of the snaps.
that’s said, they what do you guys think we do tomorrow? What % does Taron play on Saturday? What % does Aj Klein play? Klein has been the odd man out since milanos return. But could he be the wildcard vs the ravens? Do we play more 3 LBs sets than nickel? Is Klein too slow?
Personally, I’d like to see Klein get some run and put his hat on some ravens. He was my (and many others’) whipping boy to start the season, but he’s made me smile a bunch when Milano missed time.
Yes: I realize we’ll play some of both, but at what %? 38% from Taron last year was close to his lowest of the season, minus a game where he was injured.
I mentioned this in a couple other threads. Frazier and his scheme up is our X factor. Johnson was terrible last week. Klein was responsible for the surge that turned the d around winning dpow during the process. I bring in Klein to set the edge and we need some pressure which was abysmal last week. Lamar runs primarily but if he can sit back like rivers did , he will throw 3 tds like he did last year playing us. I also bring up Murphy as I don’t think the rook epenesa is ready for Lamar time. Murphy was good last year My biggest disappointment of the year was selecting epenesa when dobbins was there fir the taking in an o with no run game. Two weeks ago he had 160 yds plus 2 tds. This game is being seen As a Ravens win by most “ experts” and hard to argue if our d repeats last week. They will be coming for josh as that’s who they are, and I hope he can make up for our d who I expect to lose TOP, and struggle against the run with 6-7 ypc.
Frazier has to slow the Ravens down, get off the field on 3 rd downs. If we have to play the entire gsme from behind, Josh very occasionally presses and if he loses a fumble or throws an int, or turns his back to the Los while in fg position as he is trying to make a play , it coukd be “ bad things man , bad things!” Love josh , I just hope Frazier doesn’t place the whole world on joshes great shoulders!

They should (obviously) want Daboll considering that they are either keeping Darnold, drafting Justin Fields, or both. The most important thing they can do is to take the next three years to "build" their next QB, just like Daboll did with Allen. But, of course, this is the Jets, so they're screw it up somehow or other.
Daboll is out as it’s a lateral move. He would only get permission from Bills for HC , so that’s great for us. I still expect him to take the chargers job. Also jags job gone. Detroit, philly, Texas seem much less attractive. I bet chargers or he rides again with Mcd. I guess a huge college HC. Job could always fall in his lap.

Josh Allen's fumble rate on rushing attempts is 8.8%. This is better than 75% of starting NFL QBs including Aaron Rodgers, Deshaun Watson, Taysom Hill, Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold. Here is the complete list:
Great find , thx. Allen has done remarkably well at fixing his fumbling issues when he is running rpo’s , or elective scrambles. However the fumble on Saturday occurred when the O line protection broke down , Allen was hit immediately and then he broke free turning into another d lineman who had gotten in rapidly. No time for Josh to escape or readjust his grip there as he fumbled while being dragged down. This type of thing will happen to any Qb when the O line protection broke down.
My thinking concerning the Ravens is their d and D coordinator, wink martidale, knows Josh from our last encounter and they experienced his difficulty with blitzes then. Now add Campbell ,a d line playing with confidence , and I am sure we will be seeing Josh being blitzed quite a bit. They can’t afford to let him sit back there and give Diggs and Beasley and tap dancer time to break down their coverage imho. Josh has done well with blitzes compared to prior seasons but since we have no run game to garner respect and slow penetration, my fear is Josh will possibly be sacked 5-7 times with multiple hurries. If that happens he may at sometime be blindsided or revert to his one bad habit of turning his back to the LOS ( this has happened in fg territory over the years and he has several instances of losing yardage in scoring position) with no chance to hit a hot reciever or throw the ball away. That’s the only situation I worry about his ball security.
I hope daboll can out scheme martindale. I don’t think we can run against them if Henry couldn’t. Get the ball out quickly with bubble screens on the edges. Quick crossing routes to Beasley, maybe Stills who would be a new wrinkle. Our tight ends will probably be tied up as extra blockers, but perhaps a split back set with Devin/Yeldon, or how bout Yeldon / Williams ( possibly bring up both and let jones be inactive as Williams can do special teams as well) and leak one of them to the side behind the blitz. Just some thoughts because this is a confident, pressure producing d line / D and last weeks some what sluggish production ( at the half I think we were 0/4 on 3 rd down conversions ) if repeated may have us playing from behind and letting them really turn up the pressure. Our d will be our be our weak link and we will need to put up 28-30 I believe to best Lamars production. So help Josh with ball security; don’t set him up to take hits or be forced into scrambling with his back to the LOS. IF we DON’T turn the ball over, we win this game. If we are -1/2 in turnovers, Lamar gets more chances to finally break one on a team prone to poor tackling and they will steal one at home from us.
Josh is our ticket to the Super Bowl and I think he has vastly improved his ball security on elective runs and scrambles and this data shows that. Now prepare for the onslaught from Martindale and protect Josh from blindside hits and we win the T/O ratio and the game! Coaching is everything in the playoffs. McD has also vastly improved imho , and I hope DABOLL AND FRAZIER come thru for him !

They were open because the DB’s were running into other defenders on those all games. It was bizarre.This is true and I said all this after watching the game a second time after all the emotion had dissipated. I blame this on Frazier. He went back to not rushing guys in the a gaps which was why were successful agains Denver and Miami. Our LBs almost constantly dropped back 7-8 yards off the LOS , THEN WITH THE SNAP dropped back behind the first down sticks. In doing so, as they dropped tight ands and slot receivers kept crossing and our dbs , especially Tauron Johnson who was putrid, kept getting rubbed off and was consistently out of position behind the crossing routes. ALL DAY those routes were wide open , and backs were also wide open in the flats as the dbs also were dropping back. It was so obvious that Rivers was going to the crossing routes that I ( as someone who has watched football since the 60’s , but never formally trained as a coach etc, ) could not understand how Frazier kept the same scheme through the entire game and never adjusted.
Had Rivers not made some errant throws, and had the receivers not had some critical drops, we would have easily lost this game. As it was The Colts left 10 points out there going for it on 4 th instead of a fg from our 4 yard line and had the misfortune of a fg hitting the upright losing an almost sure 3 points. Ten points left out there in a game they lost by 3 and came down to a Hail Mary. While our o struggled with field position and conservative play calling , our d did little to contribute as they had 0 sacks against a notably immobile QB. ALSO , go focus on Edmunds. Other than two PBU’s that were good plays , he was owned by Tight ends pushing him downfield or backs and receivers breaking his frequent arm tackles. For such a large frame , this guy plays soft and rarely makes IMPACT plays like tackles for loss , interceptions , causing fumbles etc. The next time he drives his body thru a tackle as opposed to arm tackling will be the first time he hits someone with authority. Great guy , young guy , but being misused IMHO. Why they refuse to play this guy outside and let him play in space is beyond me. If an offensive lineman or even a tight end gets hands in him it’s over as he just fails to ever disengage.
Great to celebrate a win cuz a win is a win. To say you can’t see big margins of victory in playoffs is false as please see the browns and even an injured Rams team won by 10. We came in as a hot team and in my eyes Frazier coached terribly and reverted to his style that got us pounded by the Titans and KC. If he goes again with that “ playing not to lose “ or afraid to give up a big play style of defense against the Ravens , they will kill us with tight ends crossing , passes to dobbins in the flats ( who is an excellent receiver) , and getting no pressure on a QB who will make errant throws if pressured will bite us a Lamar will eventually find a lane to take off.
. Please be creative, get out of the typical Nickel and bring in Klein so Johnson has his snaps limited. It Frazier sticks to this same scheme it won’t surprise me if we are on the end of something like a 31-27/ 24 home game loss that should never happen with this talented squad. In the NFL coaching is everything; I hope we coach like we had been to get us on this streak and not like we did on Saturday.

But guess who listens to that kind of music
Every player on the bills. And they (griselda) give back to the community
You know who surprisingly was a huge fan, was acting all groupie like during the podcast segment , said they were a huge fan of his latest cd which prompted me to go to his website and check it out,,,,,,,,,yep,,,,,,Maddy Glab! Demure, petite , really cute voice of Bills post game and podcast!!!! She is a super fan of rap , knew his whole catalogue ,said that cd was all she was listening too ! She was so overwhelmed , fanboy / fan girl like that Mrs Pegula had to clam her down and reign her in during the live segment with Benny! . Hey , I like his dedication to the Bills. I love rock and almost every other type of music except a large amount of rap with lyrics degrading women ( songs like WAP etc, ), glorifying.violence against police, etc if you get my drift., and I was surprised how tasteless his lyrics were and even the underlying bass beat lines were not that great imho.
Maddy was trying to get pegula to commit to having Benny come over to the facility and collaborate or do live music on the podcast! It was funny as Pegula politely would not commit as she was meeting Benny for the first time. I wish I could be a fly on the wall when she listened to his latest release! She strikes me a a super nice , open minded woman but she also has a conservative business side in a multi billion dollar industry. it was an interesting segment if you missed it. Hey if he can come up with something Bills and family oriented, I would listen and wish him success. Just not sure that fits his style and I am sure that most recent cd, while listened to by players, won’t have any tracks played over the PA in Bills stadium ! 😀😊😉

Have to say the Bills have obviously worked on their Hail Mary defense. This time did you notice edmunds and Milano were sent ou wide to cover and bump the wide receivers while our dbs were sent deep ? Didn’t give them free running aces to make it downfield and I think only TY Hilton actually made it to the end zone line. Much better than what went on during the Arizona game. Also Hyde took zero chances on catching the ball and ran up spiking it straight down with two hands.
Hyde had several great plays today and PBUS. Great to see Mcd and staff paid attention to detail. Also mcds us of time outs has become expert like. A great improvement of time management and situational football since his earlier years ! He may actually be the most improved aspect of our team and is right there along with Josh for becoming a great asset. Hope that’s positive enough for this thread ! -

Dont forget that Taylor ran for 250 yds last week and came into the game as the hottest rb in the league. I think the game plan was to slow him down and make Rivers beat you, which is almost what happened. We wont see another RB of his talent again in the playoffs, including Henry.
Ahhhh, I think Henry won the rushing title and had over 2 k yards this year. Don’t think there is any comparison between Taylor and Henry. Henry has owned us as well. Just as Josh Norman. I am also pretty sure Henry put up monster yards in his final two or three regular season games. Taylor may get there but let me know when he wins back to back rushing titles like Henry.

Edmunds had something like 3 big pass breakups.
Yep. That was about his best work. I think I saw two. They were good plays. He got owned the rest of the time. Watch him getting owned by a tight end driving him ten yards downfield on a run to the left sidelines by their second back in. 27 yard scamper. Or watch him dive at the back on fourth down , wide open shot and he arm tackles the guys ankles who then proceeds to easily break the tackle and go for a first down. It’s pretty depressing stuff from a “ pro bowl” mlb. He is good at pass defense but he just doesn’t make interceptions or cause fumbles or often make tackles for loss. Not saying he is not a good guy or leader. Just not what I expect from a guy with his size whose job is anchoring our d. You have to admit when we get beat in TOP , and give up almost 500 yards that something was not great about our d and much is scheme related. I don’t blame edmunds completely as I think he is being misused. I think if we look at PBUs as a maker of what we want from our leading LB, we are setting a low bar. 🤨🧐😀

The original thread stated it was the new shout song. The poster who made that thread started this narrative, I guess.
Yep. I watched the podcast with a Maddie and Mrs Pegula that had Benny on. Then I checked out his latest cd. Wow, gangster thug rap at it’s best. It was so filled with f bombs and things that I could never see the Pegulas using his stuff. They like him as a huge Bills fan and supporter but I can’t see his “ music” every replacing a classic like shout ! 😀😂
The running game has to be there vs KC this week.

I truly apologize and didn’t mean to single you out in any mean spirited way. I was up late and probably grumpy from not sleeping well as I just have an uneasy feeling about this game. I agree there have Been many posts similar to your POV. So in no way did I intend to just attack or go after you on any personal basis. I just was reading so many posts saying how we have won the past two games so why worry or change anything and many are saying we will easily beat the Chiefs. Not many professional , less biased analysts, are giving us much of a hope of even keeping this game close. Fans tend to look thru rose colored glasses, a win is a win thing. I was just tying to point out the Colts Best us in Top by. 10 min , and had zero turnovers , left 10 points out there , and we held on by knocking down a Hail Mary. Maybe not a great game plan to look at and say, hey it’s ok, we won! 😊
I don’t think we can be something we are not, we are not a run oriented team. But maybe we better try to get something out of the run game ( we could afford to be one dimensional against another one dimensional Ravens team who was unlikely to blow us out) so we don’t allow mahomes an extra 10 min TOP, cuz I think that is a way we can be blown out. So if it takes Allen runnin more, maybe bringing up Williams , heck brining up Stills or Duke to throw bubble screens or short crossing routes to, we need to game plan better/ differently than the prior two games. We need to somehow extend drives to decrease how many opportunities the chiefs have to score. They have more weapons than we do, period. Going to be a tough game to win that I think comes down to coaching adjustments. Please accept my apology , should have made it just a topic and not quoted you because you are right and that was not fair. 😊. This game is making me edgy ! Lol !
