As an original Bills fan since 1960, what better name for a Bills defense than "The Rockpile". This is the best defense since the 1964 team.

I think our four toughest remaining games are TB, NO, TEN, and CAR. Panthers still have players who played for McD and were signed by Beane. Gilmore may be active by then and will be a tough matchup for Diggs. Rest of schedule is basically stay healthy and focused, one game at a time. The TB/Carolina week could be tough if they flex us to Saturday.

Actually Josh to Diggs was only the third longest throw of the week. Rogers to Adams and the Winston Hail Mary were 1 and 2 yards longer.

I wonder what the wizards at PFF are looking at? They have the Titans starting Offense graded higher than the historically excellent [DVOA] Bills starting Defense which has allowed 64 points in 5 games. They have the Bills Offense which leads the league in scoring 172 points, graded lower than the Titans Offense which has scored 40 points less than the Bills. Something wrong with their methodology.

He was signed from a defunct league, no one in the NFL had his rights, same deal as a CFL signing. Jack Kemp was claimed from the waiver wire. Only Bills QB to end the season [twice] with a W in a championship game.

Cookie Gilchrist was a free agent, signed from the CFL.

Hull is showing in PFR as an undrafted free agent.

Not counting on Milano, concerned that steamroller Henry could reinjure him, smart move would give him more time to heal. Also forgot Star was a DNP in that game. Titans have injuries everywhere. Bills front 4 is much improved over last year with Star and Groot, along with the fresh legs rotation.

Bills will have the following players this year that DNP/not with team last season against the Titans: Tre White, Levi, Groot, Boogie, STAR, Spencer Brown, Feliciano, Moss, Manny Sanders, also Ford played every snap on O [addition by subtraction].

I think we root for the Chargers over the Dirty Birds. AFC West will cause the Chargers to drop some games down the road. Would love to see the Browns pick up another loss. Yes, Cowgirls should get the Patsies. Fish defense is a hot mess, we hung 35 on them with a not great game from Josh.

We have Blakeman's crew against the Titans. They were a bit flag happy last season in the Denver game, including 2 Offensive PI's and a bs roughing the passer call on Milano. Guess they were trying to keep it close [Bills won 48-19].

Clete Blakeman's crew has the game, he had us twice last year, Home vs. the Pats, [10 flags 65 yards) and away vs. the Broncos [15 flags 108 yards, heavily on the Bills].

Is Bienemy anything without Reid, isn't Reid the offensive mastermind and playcaller?

My dad, he left us in '09. Used to take me to the rock pile when I was a teenager. He had bad arthritis from WW2 injuries, but gutted [esp the playoff game vs. the Patsies in '63] it out for me. He and his brother, when they were retired got together at his retirement home in San Antonio every year for the Super Bowl. Sure they are smiling at this version of our Bills.

Considering Milano is coming off a hammy, do we sprinkle in some Klein, who is a bit bigger to deal with Henry on run downs. I'm concerned that Henry could reinjure Milano.

Just noticed the Titans have 18!!!! players on IR as of Sunday. Wonder if this makes their special teams a bit suspect?

Is Barkley being the Titans backup going to give them any advantage with respect to the Bills offense?

Yes, but I think the uncertainty as to when the game would be played, really messed with the Bills headspace in that game. Josh was also still a bit dinged up.

Moss had 5 carries for 23 yards & 2 first downs after the Tre fumble recovery, burned through KC's time outs and got us to the 2:00 warning

FiveThirtyEight, has the Bills ranked #1, with a 98% chance to make the playoffs, 94% chance to win the division, and the highest 18% probability to win the Super Bowl. They have AFC playoff teams as Bills, Chargers, Ravens, Chiefs, Browns, Titans, Broncos.

I was really surprised to see Kumerow out there in Q1.

He had two TD's in that beat down they gave us last season. Right now he's on a pace to match last year's 2,000 yard season, and he has an extra game.

This team was built to deal with complex schemes like KC operates. A bit worried about who other than Star is built to deal with Derrick Henry. Titans are beatable suspect a lot of Titans - Jets film will be watched in the OP this week. Tennessee D is meh, Cards hung 38, and Jests 27. Game is Monday night, so crowd will be an issue.

The Chiefs might not even be a WC. 4 division champs [currently Bills, Chargers, Ravens, Titans]. WC as of now will be 3 of Broncos, Raiders, Bengals, Browns Chiefs have a head to head over the Browns, another must win game with the Chargers, and lose tiebreakers to Bills and Ravens. KC has the second toughest remaining schedule in the AFC [after the Steelers].

My real concern with this is how do you stop Derrick Henry or the Browns duo of RB's that are pounders. Not as worried about Ekeler as we have pursuit speed.
