It seems pretty simple to me: The team controls their destiny, they don't need to rely on other teams, they need to strap their helmets on and go out and play the kind of football they know they are capable of playing and kick Miami's wet, slimy butt.....if they can't get themselves prepared and ready to play a game this meaningful against a division opponent then they don't deserve to be in the playoffs.....that's how I see it.

It started when the team named itself after a city that named itself after the buffalo. For those that don't know this is from an article I found:
In many Plains Indian myths, buffalo gave themselves up willingly as a food source for humans, and therefore have a special position of honor and respect
And this is why we have so many weird things happen to our franchise. We are commonly sacrificed for the benefit of others. Our miser and suffering has brought delight to literally tens of millions of fans, throughout the lands of places such as Dallas, Tennessee, New Jersey, Denver, Minnesota, all the way to Arizona and many places in between.
As we have suffered we have become respected and loved across the land. Which is why our fortune hasn't changed much, but out TV ratings are up. Truly America's Favorite Team.
Found this on the Interweb so it must be true:
The Buffalo Name Theory industry had a good year in 1863, perhaps inspired by a disagreement with Fillmore’s speech. Three new theories appeared in print courtesy of William Ketchum. The Seneca Named Buffalo theory (1863) is one of them. An old man whose Seneca name meant “Buffalo” lived by the creek. White settlers found him there, learned his name and its meaning, and so named the creek. Plausibility level: High
The creek in question is Buffalo Creek....

But the offense essentially won the game twice right? How many times late does the defense need to make mistakes before it ultimately falls on them?
and again if Davis doesn't go to the corner they win.
hasn't buffalo won the last two regular season matchups?
Yep, the Bills have won the last two regular season match ups.

I like the optimism by the OP but having watched the Bills for near 55 years last night was one in a long series of Billsy loses - so very predictable - and gives me no reason to be optimistic. Can they run the tables? I doubt it. They're snake bit against KC and I think that the 13 second game is still in Allen's head.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter now. The Bills need to lose Bass.....

Heading up to the game from VA. Haven't been to a 4:25 game in Buffalo in a long long time - any idea when the majority of parking lots open and should I add time to the trip to the stadium due to new stadium construction? Thanks in advance.

I still think they get a couple. They get ratings when they play in prime time. The Bears are guaranteed 3 primetime games a year lol. They have sucked forever. Denver got a couple after their nightmare season last year
like I said, not alot, but maybe some.....personally, I'm getting too old to stay up for the TNF/SNF/MNF games! LOL

Next year would be the year that we could get the Chiefs at home but we won't because we may not win the division
How do you know most games will be Sunday at 1pm?
Maybe because the Bills won't be a favorite next year so likely not to get as many Thursday/SNF/MNF games? There's a pretty good chance they'll finish 9-8 or 8-9 this year so probably not a lot of national exposure next year.

Nobody. This guy is bonkers
You build around your top 5 Qb in his prime. You find a GM and coach who will construct the RIGHT team around him. Can’t believe this is even being discussed. Josh Allen is the best QB the bills have ever had and he isn’t even 28 yet.
Jim Kelly? If I recall he was pretty good and lead a very quick paced and dynamic offense. HOF I think....

Beginning to unravel? It started when White blew out his Achilles and the season was over when Jones and Milano went down.
It's sad because McD will get another pass due to injuries and we will be stuck with him for 2024.
I'm curious, if not McDonald, who comes in, with this team and makes a difference?
-
Boy, how bad must Miami feel right now getting blown out by this team? SOB....

My son and I went up to that game. He had just texted me this week to remind me how sad that game was and how exciting the end was for the Bills.

Shiver me timbers
This game matters again, yea!
Nite, nite, for Tua

Having once been involved in a lawsuit where I was accused in of something I absolutely knew wasn't true I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until I hear otherwise. Mine turned out fine. The other party was looking for a quick settlement - could be the motive here too.....BUT - if its true he's really thrown away a whole lot with one comment.

'67 season was the first time my dad took me to see the Bills.....the beginning of a lot of bad football until big Lou Saban came back. This made me feel old...oh wait, I am old!

Bills management are too buddy buddy. This is a business and you have to win. Example: Allen choosing the offensive coordinator and the Knox contract because Allen is friends with him.
Absolutely a business, but I question, particularly in a small market like Buffalo, whether or not you actually need to win to make money. From 2088 to 2016 the Bills average attendance was 67,100 (rounded). In 2021 the average attendance was 67,816. TV money is not directly effected by wins and losses, merchandize sales are absolutely up but I don't know what split of that goes to the Bills v. the rest of the teams (maybe all stays with the Bills organization).
My point is that in a small market like Buffalo, with out much else competing for the sports dollars fans spend on games, we fans are probably gonna go to games regardless. But you're absolutely right on merch sales. We all tend to buy more when the team wins.

Burrow faces Chiefs D. Mahomes gets Bengals D. They aren't on the field at the same time.
All three games came down to the wire.
And the Bills will be watching again.....S.O.B.....

Burrow has an embarrassment of riches on offense. I love Diggs. But Chase is definitely better. Mixon can be a factor. They get the ball out quick.
Burrow played better lately. But the 2 and 3 spots are always juggling. Mahomes is the clear # 1.
And yet, Burrows and Bengals have owned KC....strange...

Not Peyton, call Frank Reich get him in as OC and Asst. HC.....

In the last 5 weeks he has been responsible for 15 touchdowns the standards for him are so ridiculously high anymore it’s not even funny
If you're touted as the league MVP, then yes, expectations are very very high. He's a great quarterback, but he can't be responsible for 3 turnovers against the Bengals and expect to win.

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Well, who knows? Not anyone here. Wasn't Andre Reed a 4th round pick? Maybe the kid will pan out.
