    He probably had a bigger one after seeing them completely sell-out in 12 hours.

    That’s the essence of DT though….isn’t it?  Selling people essentially nothing….taking their money….and shamelessly laughing all the way to the bank….

    Very few are insisting he would have brought Whelan home.  Most are insisting he likely would not have negotiated this lopsided exchange. 

     

    BTW how much of your hard drive is taken up by childish Trump memes?   

    Adding this to the long and mythical list of DT “would have” accomplishments

    LOL here we go again.  There is no such thing as a “trap game” in the NFL, no matter how many times fans bring it up.  Good teams beat bad teams at the same frequency, whether it is before a “hugely important” game or not.

     

    In addition, this game is to clinch the AFCE.

     

    The Bears will play hard, just as they did yesterday against Philly, but this matchup is particularly bad for Chicago since the Bills don’t typically allow a running QB to beat them — and the Bears have no receivers.

     

    Looking forward to an enjoyable Christmas Eve afternoon with the family watching this one.

     

     

    Lol… Steve Young on PTI said there are ABSOLUTELY trap games….

    Lets see …Steve Young …or forum poster eball. … ?

    Total, bush league, and a pathetic act to throw snowballs at anytime during the game. Hopefully, anybody who was caught throwing one by stadium staff should have been tossed out immediately.

     

    Ironically, after they stopped the game and berated fans for acting like teenagers, it looked like fans were then just throwing them at each other, in the stands. The latter was really more dangerous, as most fans are not wearing helmets in the stands, and taking one to the eye or the side of the head could be very bad.

    Ok Dad….

    Watching Tua trying to throw the ball with "The Hawk" in effect tonight and the cross-winds that are a nightmare especially for QBs not familiar with them will be hilarious. Expecting a few balls that drift off course directly to Bills defenders...I mean he threw a pick 6 straight to Milano that was dropped in the first game 

    The Hawk…lol….did anyone ever tell Bergman no one here says that?

    I’m experiencing the opposite. My two sons, now in their mid20s, grew up Patriots fans (we live north of Boston) experiencing all the Super Bowls. I’ve been able to steer them toward the light, and they’ve been on the bandwagon since Josh was drafted. It’s a work in progress, but they “get” the Mafia and the history. And how much it means to Dad!

    NH here! My grown kids live here in enemy territory and bleed Bills and Sabres ! We lived in Buff till they were 20…

    Invading and occupying an Islamic Middle Eastern Country with a Feudal governing structure to eliminate a terrorist group from another country hiding in caves and simultaneously trying to bring democracy where other occupiers have always failed...Sounds like a loser to most

     KC has the easiest remaining schedule so unless someone REALLY surprises them, they will for sure finish their season 14-3. That Cincy game scares me for Buffalo, playing in Cincy. They are playing some really great well rounded football right now and if i am being honest and realistic, that game could go either way. If we lose that game, it will end up being us and KC in KC... AGAIN for the AFC Championship and I REALLY want that to be a home game for us. 

    The hinge is the Cinci game.....Bills lose to Cinci...they are likely 3 seed and playoff scenario is play WC team at home then to go to SB its going to be AT Cinci...then AT KC. 

     

    Win at Cinci in 3 weeks....Bye...WC at home...KC and Cinci play each other ...and Bills play winner at home in AFCCG

    Right 7 teams.

     

    KC #1

    BUF #2

    BALT #3

    TEN #4

    CIN #5

    LAC #6

    MIA #7

     

    MIA @ BUF

    LAC @ BALT

    CIN @ TEN

     

    LAC @ KC

    CIN @ BUF

     

    BUF @ KC

     

    I still think holding serve and securing the #1 seed is essential but have a bad feeling we lose to the Bengals who in turn I think lose to the Ravens again. If it played put this way it would mean a third trip to Arrowhead in 3 post seasons.

    How do Bills lose to Bengals and have a higher seed?

    Based on what? 

     

    He played two games in Tampa this season.  In week 2 against Green Bay he was targeted 4 times and had 3 receptions.  In week 3 against KC he was targeted once and caught it.  That, to my rudimentary math skills, works out to 4 receptions on 5 targets, or a 80% completion percentage.

     

     

    Based on the fact 32 teams looked and have not signed him?

    A team that’s 10-3. Probably on the verge of having the #1 seed and home field advantage doesn’t have offensive talent. Go figure 

    Crazy….isn’t it

    Whenever I think about this topic, I always come back to Dorsey. 

     

    A good passing game is measured most easily by how many high quality, easy completions you get.   Yes, you gotta make the tough throws and catches, but it's the easy ones that you get over 250-300 yards a game.   

     

    Easy completions come from route design, play calling, and execution.   A properly designed play called at the right time executed properly gets SOMEONE open for an easy toss and catch.   That's what seems to be missing in the Bills' passing game.  

     

    Dorsey has the wrong play designs for the opponent, or he doesn't call them at the right time.  And if he has the right play at the right time, then he hasn't trained his quarterback and receivers to execute them.   

     

    It's not about talent.  Davis is more than talented enough to be a competent #2, and McKenzie is talented enough to run routes like Beasley.  If they're running the routes wrong, well, what are coaches for?   

     

    There are a few teams who have two true stud receivers, but not that many.  Smith-Schuster and Valdez-Scantling are ordinary NFL receivers - no one's idea of a good #1, but the Chiefs do a lot of damage in the air with a great QB and a great tight end and - play design and play calling.  

     

    I think it's Dorsey.  

    Bills beat KC right?

    The Pats game I thought was a bit of a break through as they routinely were eating yards on 1st and 2nd down which made 3rd really manageable and Buffalo was very successful. The Pats have a very good D so I was hopeful that it might translate to another strong game against the Jets. Unfortunately yesterday felt like a step back and more of what we saw vs CLE/DET where mistakes from OL, drops, and a few Josh decisions limited drives.  

     

    Buffalo's offense when operating at full capacity and clicking is incredibly dangerous. But I think these things have limited them: 

     

    -Dorsey 1st year. As much as we wanted to hope Dorsey would be perfect year 1 he has had growing pains and outside of matching weekly the performance of the Bills in the playoffs I think expectations were always going to be unrealistically high. With that said at times the offense has looked stale or predictable and he hasn't at times used his playmakers to the full extent. With that said...

    -Injuries. The OL has been a turnstile which is never easy to build a group, the WR corp has went from a strength to question mark at times due to injury, and Josh himself getting hurt only further complicated things. Crowder was meant to be a dependable security blanket and we got 3 and 1/2 games out of him.

    -Drops. If my fat a$$ on the couch is getting frustrated when Josh throws a simple toss two yards up for a RB to take for YAC and it is dropped, I can't imagine what he feels after a while. The last few years it felt like it was on Josh to get the ball to his dudes and they could make a play, this year has felt like Josh is hitting you in the hands and you didn't catch it?

    -Gabe Davis. I hate singingly guys out as football has so many factors and influence of your teammates on what you do, but the team bet he could grow into a true #2 option. Instead he is at that awful middle ground of WR2/3 where he could finish the year with 1000 yards 7 TD's yet you feel let down. He has dropped enough balls where it feels like Josh doesn't trust him him the way you hoped. 

     

    With this said while the Bills offense is probably not the world destroying juggernaut we maybe all hoped, they still are a very good unit that just has flaws and limitations like a lot of other good offenses past and present. 17 gives them a ceiling that allows for so much belief to be justified and that is enough for me despite frustrations at times. With that said even if they win the SB I would expect some revisions at WR and OL this offseason to switch things up vs keeping the band together as they had for the last 3 seasons.

    As soon as the Bills get these straightened out….they can string some wins together and make a run to get into the playoffs

    I don't like admitting it, but he makes fair points.  We are in 3rd and long far too often.  The O-line is not doing a great job and much of our offense is Josh creating on the fly, not executing the plays as designed because he either doesn't have time, or isn't finding an open receiver.

     

    Outside of Josh and Diggs who has any confidence in anyone else in this offense?  

     

    I'd say Motor, but he needs the blocking to be there and for the most part, it's not.

    Unrealistic expectations and stockholm syndrome from years of failure. 

     

    This was supposed to be our year (very still might be) so people expected to see the Bills that played the Patriots in the Wild Card round blow everybody out of the stadium en route to a perfect season.  Every game, quarter, series that does not look like championship football fuels doubt. 

     

    People find comfort in the idea that the wheels are coming off and big disappointment is right around the corner.  If it doesn't happen then we're super bowl champs, certainly an agreeable outcome.  If we fall on our faces and Buffalo falls into a giant sinkhole well "I f!%@#$ called it bro! I knew it was gonnna happen."  The Bills suck but at least that individual feels right and likely more intelligent than the next guy.  Its like a hedge on happiness.

    I dunno...Did the Bengal's look "Championship" during the regular season? Bills are in - at worst a home game in the final AFC 4 and a good shot at a home game for the AFCCG....enjoy it.....

    Towards the end of games... My wife keeps saying: "YOU'RE so negative!"

     

    😆

     

    I am really NOT.  Failing to plan is planning to fail. As much as I hate this guy. At least kid millennial coach gets something right even if I can't sit still through one of his pressers:

     

     

     

    He got the ending wrong the last two games and probably Sat night....

    If these people had lived thru the mid 80's Bills, they'd know that making criticisms of any win would have been a welcome luxury.  Right now is very near the top of the mountain for Bills fans.  Enjoy.  And watch us go the rest of the way.
