I do feel a bit bad for the Bills coaches trying to prepare for the Miami game, they should know by 4PM tomorrow who the Dolphins will have on the roster and which players have been transacted.

First time in his career Mahomes had a completion percentage under 50%. Second lowest passer rating of his career, [He won the game with the lowest passer rating].

Because of bad weather, our neighborhood moved trick or treating to last night [halftime - end of Q3]. Got to see all the kids in the neighborhood and watch the game, everyone had a great time!

I thought about that last night. Cook grades out very poorly as a pass blocker, but on obvious passing downs do we use him instead of a 3rd TE or 3rd WR and run him out of the slot or in motion, and use Gilliam [who is an elite pass blocker] as the back, seems to me there could be some interesting schemes that could come from that. He's certainly more dynamic in space than most of our wide receivers not named Shakir.

Last time the Chiefs allowed a 100 yard rusher and 100 yard receiver was last September 12 vs. Baltimore. Cook and Kincaid delivered the mail.

Was refreshing to see the zebra's didn't have an opinion on that play.

In the drought years we had an acknowledged master of the screen game in Larry Centers from 2001-02. 80 catches in '01. Unfortunately we had Greggo as a head coach.

TOP Bills 19:27 Giants 40:33. /Total Offense Bills 371 yards Giants 386/ Snaps Bills 73 Giants 84 Runs Bills 25-166 Giants 39-172

Just think if Josh had Joe Ferguson's receivers - Bob Chandler, Jerry Butler, Frank Lewis, Cribbs out of the backfield caught 40 passes for a 15 ypc average - what a novel idea.

Bass has a $6MM dead cap hit after this season. Beginning to wonder why any GM gives a middle of the pack kicker any sort of guarantee. Aubrey perhaps, - who makes $1MM and has no guaranteed money; but there are a lot of JAG kickers out there.

Not sure what Brady is looking at. I went back and counted, Bills have had at least 9 possessions in every game, and are averaging 10.6. What is up are the INT's and the stops on downs by our opponents. Josh has had 4 ints and a fumble, and Coleman lost a fumble. Defense has recovered 5 fumbles and have intercepted 3 passes on the season.

In case no one was noticing, Pats Schedule is currently ranked as the least difficult [32/32] schedule, Bills schedule is next to last [31/32] in difficulty. The Atlanta loss was a major coaching fail on both sides of the Ball. Can't afford any more of those.

One thing I find interesting about Gabe is that in the 4 years he was here, He was always in the league top 10 in yards per reception, and average depth of target. He averaged 16.5 yards per touch in those 4 years. Not sure after last year's injury he can create the same separation tho.

This..-when your HC spent his entire career on the defensive side of the ball. SMH

Sounds corny, but there may be a bit of win one for Jim [Irsay] vibe going on in Indy. They do have a tough schedule going forward, including two road games - at Pittsburgh - at KC - sandwiched around a trip to Berlin to play the Falcons. The rest of their schedule is Houston twice, Jax twice, @ Seattle and SFO at Home.

Looking at the Chiefs snap counts from Monday night, they use 5 DB's about 80% of the time, And leveraging Chris Jones and his ability to dominate multiple blockers, they play a 3 man front on about 25% of their snaps. Of course this was against a Commanders team playing without their starting QB.

I went to pro football reference, I have Bills at 9-3 in the Josh Allen era with Cheffers as the referee. he did ref two notable losses, the Derrick Henry stomping in 2020 and the Cinci Playoff game where we didn't come to play.

Cheffers is the referee for Sunday. KC board has already started complaining.

The Athletic did a top 100 Ranking in 2021 and updated it in 2023. Tom Brady was ranked 1 all time, Jim Brown was 2nd. Followed by Jerry Rice, Lawrence Taylor, and Reggie White in the top 5. Bruce was the top Bill at 20, The RB who ran for 2003 yards was #41. So yes it is debatable.

Hopefully McD and Babich coach them up about the shovel pass to Kelce near the goal line

OJ was 6-1 212 supposedly ran a 4.3 40. At USC he was part of a relay team that set a world record at that time in the 440 yard dash [402.34 metres] of 38.7 seconds. His fastest 100 yard dash was timed at 9.53. I believe Jim Brown's fastest 100 yard dash was 9.6 [at 232 pounds].

Right now, the Bills have played the second easiest schedule and have the third easiest remaining schedule. The Patriots have played the easiest schedule and have the easiest remaining schedule. The Bills loss to Atlanta was a complete coaching failure.

Looking at Snap Counts, Reid didn't mess around. Rice 59/69 snaps, Worthy 58/69 snaps, Kelce 58/69 snaps. None of this "who's on first" Bills seem to be enamored with.

Saw that Nick Bolton got nicked up towards the end of last night's game. He's been a thorn in our side since the pandemic.

Weather Sunday afternoon, Sunset at 5:05PM, most of the game will be under the lights, temps low 40's dropping to high 30's, not showing a lot of chance of rain at this time light winds 5-10 off Lake Erie.
