An angry day on the TBD board.

To your thoughtful perspective at the top = Yes. We all need to keep it in perspective. A few breaks here and there and we're competing for the #1 seed. Last year we got the breaks, this year, so far, not-so-much. Here's the good news, we still have games to play and team is more than capable of winning every one the next four games. Do that, we're in, and probably AFC East champs (NE will lose to someone else, their QB cannot carry them when needed). To your points, Shaw: 1 - Josh: Yes. He cemented his status last night by carrying this team on his back, and legs. 2 - Daboll: Agree. He somehow found his senses again in the 2nd half .... I get the feeling he out-thinks himself with game planning some times. Just do what we do best, Brian. 3 - Harry: Yes. He has been the best D-Lineman the last two games. If he keeps playing like this, the next Kyle Williams has arrived. 4 - Termaine: He seems to play more on confussed side than not. That one cost big time, but not sure it was all on him. Surely someone else has to be on that side of the field--what was remarkable on that play is how wide open it was once he got past Edmunds 7 yards beyond the line-of-scrimmage. How does that happen? 5 - Dane: Yes. He played well and I'm confident in his ability going forward. The only critique is the interception he should have had, twice. Those are the kind of big plays need to turn games like this. 6 - Davis: YES! YES! YES! I am convinced that having Sanders has hurt this team more than helped by taking time away from Davis. Davis did have one crucial drop in Jacksonville, but after that, he has been "Big Play Gabe" since the day he arrived last year--his fourth down play yesterday may have been the "effort play of the year" for this team. He needs to be the full-time #2 receiver. 7 - Fake Punt: Yuuup! That was so obvious (no one who watches football would believe Breida was there to block, have you seen his futile efforts in the backfield?). A bad idea, that was only topped it's badness in the execution of it. But, I come away from these last two weeks encouraged; frustrated with the results, yes, but encourage about the potential. The Bills can win out, and if they do, they will most likely win the Division. If they win 3/4, they'll make the play-offs. And no other team wants to draw this team in the play-offs.

Well, if we have to, I have confidence in him. At least we have a capable backup.

Yes! The Bucs were completely gassed at the end (as were our receivers). When it goes well, it is a huge advantage. And we have the QB for it, they need to give him play calling authority. And as mentioned above, it does play to our strengths.

After some reflection time about this game, and the season (by the way, this "tale of two half's" game, is a perfect metaphor for the entire Bills season): I think this team's problem of inconsistency boils down to one big inconsistency, the offensive line. .... I know, the D-line is a close second .... but all-in-all, a better o-line that gives your all-world QB time to throw and to not be running for his life most of the time, and one that can at least make your running game respectable, makes all the difference for this team. .... Where do we invest in the off-season = the O-line!

3 - Running backs in the first half - I see what you did there.

Davis should have had a starting role a long time ago. I like Sanders, but he has taken time from Davis. Davis is better.

We had a chance as long as we didn’t let our defense back on the field.

OMG …. Matriculate the ball down the field and score a TD here!

And neither can we run it. Next year, a Screen Coach! 🤣

I wonder what it would be like to blitz Brady? He certainly knothole to carve up this bend and then break defensive scheme we are running.

Arians should be fired. Why didn’t they just run the ball when they got in the Red Zone? Look how easy it was for Brady on that drive.

Crossing route - what is that?

Brady - longest run of the season. It’s getting comical

Wouldn’t you behind this online? Hard to put this on him when he’s running for his life on every play.

Brown whiffs again

Where was that play last week?

Why would any team even throw a pass against us?

Here we go again

How about Brown blocking someone, or at least get in the way?

Brown was lost on the sack.

I have a feeling this game will be a rerun of the no-punt game against the 49ers—1992. No punts, both QBs threw for over 400 yards, and 1082 total yards! Let’s hope for similar results for the Bills https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Punt_Game

Can this thread be pinned, and then thrown in the nearest dumpster?

That, is an instant classic. 😛

Good morning and happy game day, TBD! It will be a fun day taking down the Bucs. I hope you have a great day. Get to church (the Bills definitely need your prayers), get some Christmas shopping done this afternoon, and then settle in for a wild early evening game and win! GO BILLS! On a more serious note about prayers, keep the people impacted by the Tornadoes on Friday evening in your prayers. Wow! Those pictures of Mayfield, KY, are heart breaking. And if you know a good charity or two that is providing direct help, please donate. .... While I know we all are passionate about our Bills, events like this are reminders that football is just a game.
