I'm quite partial to Community Beer Works "The Whale"

Hyde would be a game changer, if only because Hamlin is such a liability

Exactly. There is nothing that Fields is doing this year that Lamar couldn't do in 2020

I was just thinking of that! Lions are away this week so it's not out of the question

Look, it's not right. It's not somehow payback for the Phins trying to heatstroke people out. But my god was it beautiful.

Dude, I'm saying Tua isn't a complete bust like I thought. Of course Allen is better, but I don't think it's crazy to identify that Tua has a gear above what Mac Jones and Zach Wilson/Mike White/Joe Flacco are offering our other division rivals

I have to eat some crow on Tua. I thought he was a bust but he honestly balled out. At this point it's not a fluke. He can throw down field and is not just a distributor. I think he relies heavily on Waddle and Hill, but I could once say the same with Allen in regards to Diggs and Beasley. I think he's the second best QB in the division. I am not going to enjoy seeing him twice a year I'm still taking Josh Allen over him

Regarding the snowballs: I get why people don't like it. If it has cost a penalty I probably would be singing a different tune. But we hear all the time about how Raiders, Chiefs and Seahawks fans make life hell for visiting teams and get praise for it. When fans were throwing snow I thought a rout might be on

Haven't done one of these in a while, but I went to bed and have these thoughts still swirling: This is a win that the Bills need in their arsenal. No, I did not enjoy watching most of it. But this was a game where I think it's hard to dispute that the skill positions on the Dolphins looked more elite. The Bills did everything in their power to limit Hill, and Waddle and Mostert still looked electric. In the meanwhile, I lost a whole lot of prop bets because a lot of our usual suspects were limited. But at its core, the Bills got a better performance out of their second row of players. And the Bills gritted it out. It was ugly to watch but it has been the kind of game we might face it the playoffs. Miami fans are fricken delusional if they think that the refs have it out for them. I was screaming at the TV at the end of the second half that those Holding calls were PI, which would be a spot foul. Instead, it was five yards for a few second runoff. McKenzie catching that ball, putting a hand under it, sliding on two knees out of bounds and holding onto it it is...not a catch? I saw quite a few jersey tugs that went uncalled on those deep passes Allen was lofting. Non-calls on offensive holding for the Phins, while we got slaughtered with them. It should not have even been close on the field that Josh had broken the plane, and the review was incontrovertible. But no, a Dolphins defender hits a QB out of bounds and then gets into a shoving match and gets a personal foul. The Dolphins defender tackles McKenzie in the front without looking back as the ball arrives for a PI. If anything, the refs jobbed hard for Miami. I don't care what anyone says, I love Bills fans throwing snowballs. The snow was late to the party, so it's hard to see the sample size, but man, did Tua not look good in it. But when the snow came, suddenly energy was back into the building and the tide swung. I want home field advantage. Badly.

I can't even imagine how they had to go to video review

The Fins fans are making it sound like the refs were on them all night. They have to be delusional. The refs kept refusing to call PI at the end of the second half. The Bills had far more penalty yards and that is with quite a lot of chippt shots I saw Dolphins defenders deliver. Their quibble is about shoving a QB while he was out of bounds and then getting into a shoving match, and the most obvious hold possible

Considering how hard the refs jobbed us, a fluke fumble, the running into the kicker, a bad miscommunication on the Waddle deep pass, the McKenzie catch that wasn't... I don't care how we did it, we did it

Hey, another one score game we won!

It's a catch, and the refs are jobbing us...so of course we are going to lose the challenge

I'm shocked they didn't go for it

Any word on what the stadium looks like?

Yeaaahh they have no idea

Probably not if they are sending Schrager The are probably saving Brandt for the playoffs

I really hope. I know it's a longshot but with him back we would have the second best defense in the playoffs

I'd argue that between the moves to retain Lil Dirty and to bring in Crowder and Shakir, Beane had pretty strong odds to get 80% of Beasley's production from one of them. It hasn't panned out. I hold out some hope on Shakir, but I think it's time to cut bait on the other two

I don't want to overstate the value of this. I do not see this as a long term remarriage. I legit think that the Bills will try something else to fill the role this off-season. I stand by the decision to cut him. He wasn't worth the cap hit and he was clearly unhappy about something because he wanted a trade. This is one of those situations where a marriage falls apart and each side starts seeing other people only to find out the grass isn't as green on the other side. The Bills don't have a way to consistently keep drives going when teams move to bracket coverage on Diggs. Beasley has learned what the rest of the league values him at. And I feel dirty saying this, but I think this helps our Super Bowl chances more than rolling the dice on OBJ at this point.

He wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire when he was healthy

Pretty much this. We have tried McKenzie, Crowder, Shakir and Knox and nothing has worked. That is where Beasley shines.

Did we get it confirmed? I don't love Beasley as a person, but man, Josh has been needing someone to be that zone beater on 3rd down when they bracket Diggs. Maybe this is the missing piece.
