It’s been 15 years since anyone has enjoyed a Sabres game. Excepting their opponents, of course.

Mike White? Is Trubisky hurt, or are they expecting Josh to sit out the fourth quarter again?

I am on the record as saying they would not do much this season. I have been pleasantly surprised up to this point, and I hope they can bring a playoff game or two to Buffalo now. That being said, just the fact that they won the division already makes this a much better season than I was anticipating. It's all gravy for me.

I don't see how a non-conference game against a 6-6 team when you have a playoff spot locked down qualifies as a 'game of the year'.

Bad clock management at the end, but the real story was that the D laid an egg tonight. Plain and simple. They sucked.

Yeah, but this is Buffalo. More likely, the stars are aligning for the most devastating heartbreak in Bills history.

Not the best roster, but the best team, yes.

Stupid hit and worthy of a fine and a suspension? For sure. Intentional? I really like to think not, but who knows. It would take a special kind of sociopath to do something like that with full intent to injure. I just think he was going for a tackle that didn't need to be made in the first place, and that resulted in a very dangerous play. Not malicious, but punishably stupid.

I still can't believe guys play NFL football with super long hair flying around. It's only a matter of time before it gets yanked, whether by accident or otherwise.

While Pro Bowl for Damar is a stretch, he deserves a lot of credit. A lot of fans here thought his best outcome would be making the practice squad. And yet, here he is, starting every week on one of the league's best defenses. He has been a steady presence, has made some big plays, and has shown he can be a legit starter in the NFL after years of living on the bubble. That alone is pretty incredible, let alone that he is doing all that after dying on the field. I say eff it, let him go to the Pro Bowl. It's not like a Rory Fitzpatrick situation at all. Damar can play.

Lots of scenarios out there, but my hope is that the Bills can host Denver, and that somehow they can avoid both Baltimore and Pitt in round 2. I'm surprised Baltimore has slid so far - A few weeks back, it looked like they would finish no worse than #3 seed. Watching the Ravens yesterday, I just could not understand why they didn't give the ball to Henry more. Stupid.

No, I think this is the best Bills team we have seen since 1990. And I freely admit that pre-season, I thought they would have a tough time finishing above 9-8 .

The Bills have had FIVE Super Bowl windows??? I count two, the Kelly '90s, and the Allen era. What are the other 3?

If the playoffs started today, the Bills would host the Broncos in the first round, then would host the 2nd-lowest remaining seed in the second round (Steelers, Texans, Ravens, Chargers, in descending order of current rank). BUT, in the end, the Bills could win the top seed, and get a 1st round bye. Assuming only the Bills would be able to get seeded ahead of the Chiefs at this point, WOULD YOU RATHER: - Bills host Broncos in round 1 (highly winnable), then host anyone but the Ravens in round 2 (the other three seem equally and reasonably winnable), OR - Bills get a bye, then host the Ravens in round 2. Two very winnable games, OR, a week of rest followed a much-less-winnable game. I would take the bye regardless, especially if the Ravens game was in Buffalo. Any team can get frisky in the playoffs, and injuries are real. Byes are king.

Big hit to Joe Borrow’s massive ego, which is nice, but this really sucks for the folks who made plans to attend.

Lombardi trophy case

Amazing game for the D, amazing work by the O to overcome the lack of Kincaid and Coleman. Josh had a big-balls TD run. A complete victory that could have been a blowout if not for one bad pass.

Solid team win vs. the boogeyman. Cheers!!!

That's cool to see - I can't remember the last time a Bills team did something innovative that gave them a real advantage. Probably have to be the hurry-up of the 90's. I followed the Seattle game for a bit on NFL Gamecenter, and I kept seeing plays where Alec Anderson reported as eligible. I remember thinking, "what the heck are they doing?", and now I know.

This article is bunk. Did Edwards actually say he wants to be traded? Where's the quote? Who's the source? It's just conjecture. He's not playing, therefore he is "available" to a team that he can play for. Phony journalism or AI, not sure which.

Technically, it's too early to judge until Von's time here is finished, but as of right now it's Mario by a very, very wide margin. Not sure how you compare Von to Mario when Von has been injured or suspended for most of his Bills tenure, whereas Mario pretty much piled up the sacks and wrecked people week in/out while here.

Joey Slye? Statistically not better than Bass to date, but perhaps trending up vs. down?

Not until halftime vs. Miami.

I think Beane has the Bills as 'all in' as he can get them, given the assets available and the current cap situation. It's better than a full rebuild, but I don't think there's enough in the war chest to really go full SB-or-Bust.

The best QB prospects almost always get drafted by desperate, terrible franchises. For many of them, it's next to impossible to establish confidence and rhythm. There's nowhere to go but up, and fortunately some of them get out before it's too late. And this is why you also see QB success stories from later rounds - Those guys are more likely to go to good teams with an established franchise QB to mentor them along.
