I see your point, but I think all the MVP talk is actually a motivation for the rest of the team. They love each other, Josh most of all, and they are going to play out of their minds if they have to, to make him look good.

To me, the Josh game against the Rams is a lot more impressive than the Josh game against the Lions. He played great in both games, don't get me wrong. The Lions D is completely wrecked by injuries, but the Rams D was mostly there and Josh still lit them up. Lamar Jackson fans will point to his 5 TD game and say Josh really didn't earn all the praise, but as good as Jackson is, Josh really is playing better. (And getting 5 TDs against the Giants D -- come on, that's not bragging material.) As for the Bills D, I think it will be OK depending on the severity of injuries from the last two games. The D played pretty well (except the D line) against the Rams and the big score against us was due to Stafford and Nacua playing out of their minds. Two outstanding players, and both showed up at the same game, making some incredible plays. And Kupp is also still very good. The Rams record indicates they aren't showing up every game, not to that level. All those points yielded to the Lions is not that concerning, really, since they are a tremendous offensive team, and they got a lot of their yards and points while McD tried to yield yards slowly while draining the clock. (The "slowly" part didn't work, and it took Taron Johnson's KO recovery to save the day. McD will be the death of me.) Now, if the Jets and Pats score more than 40, I'll be concerned. I don't expect the Bills to keep getting 40 per game against these weaker teams, because they won't need to. I think they'll go vanilla and settle for 25-30 points per game, holding those lousy teams to 14 or less. Were you not around for OJ? Or Bruce?

It really could be that the fact that the governor is from WNY is why the money was available. I don't live in NY anymore so I don't have a good idea whether Hochul is a good governor or not, but in this case she helped get the stadium built and the locked in the Bills to stay in town.

The ball was loose after Taron Johnson touched it. Whew.

How did no time come off the clock?

One play. Just make the play.

NOOOOO. The Bills taking a TO on defense ALWAYS backfires.

I think the next pass is into the end zone.

The ridiculous holding call that cost the Bills 4 points is just so bad.

Goff escaping there -- otherwise the game is over.

Did you see the penalty? I did not.

I would have like to see the holding call instead of another replay of the pass.

Detroit's gonna have to use time outs.

I think if Josh needed to score he could have, but he wants to burn more clock and THEN score.

They had Gibbs in the backfield but Sewell makes it a TD.

Kincaid: silk LaPorta: stone

Yeah. Goff is really good.

I want 600 yards of offense.

Not if it works.

Geez, Gibbs is good. I made the same post in the first quarter.

Well I wasn't far off.

He was sitting up. Maybe just tired. He hasn't played much this year.

Agreed. He was lucky not to have that pass picked. Would have taken the chance for the three score lead off the table. But, Josh gotta Josh.

I noticed that Bass has no eye black. Generally he's been using it on only one side -- must be some reason for that, but none today.
