Cook is our top RB. I love how Motor plays, but Cook has a better ability to turn nothing into something, and is more of a threat to break it when he gets the ball.
I slightly disagree here. Singletary is tough. That last carry was epic. Cook has better YPC for the season, but I think that's somewhat due to Singletary being used in more traditional rushing situations. In any event, I think they're a good 1-2 combo.

That would require divine intervention.
Well, given Damar's recovery thus far, I wouldn't discount it.

I'm an optimist. Raiders beat KC on Saturday, Ravens beat Bengals and Bills beat Pats. Makes the Buffalo-Cincinnati game irrelevant, Bills get home field throughout, and the only remaining thought about that game will be thinking how miraculous it will be when we witness Damar's complete recovery.

Thuney may have had a serious injury today, and Kelce looked banged up. The Chiefs’ core may starting to weaken with age. Looks like Mahomes is carrying them. They barely beat Denver with Wilson playing truly terrible football, like Peterman level.
Mac Jones won, barely, against a passing team down to their third QB.
Tom Brady needed 400 yards and 3 long TDs to beat the Panthers by a score.
Eagles have run into a rough patch ever since Hurts got hurt.
No team in the NFL should scare the Bills. Let this be the year.
Bills can beat anyone, but lose tomorrow night and you have to win two on the road in the playoffs, not an easy feat. Win the next two and everything looks possible.

I've only read the first page of posts.
I've always assumed I would go. I actually planned a different vacation around it. But when I stop and think about it coldly, it's really hard to justify. For me, I think, the determining factor will be what I can get tickets for. I don't know how the priority list works with the tickets the team will get to season ticket holders. If I'm high enough on the list, I could get tickets at face value. Even that, whatever it is, would be a big-ticket item, but at least that would be a lot better than having to pay three or five times that much to buy them in the after market.
My wife and I went to XXV. We were in different financial circumstances then, and my wife sort of didn't ask and I sort of didn't tell her how much I spent to get tickets. And yes, the game ended badly, but I have never for a moment regretted spending the money to it experience that game. It's an iconic Bills game, and to have been there, regardless of the outcome, was worth it. The money, we earned back. The memories of that experience connects me to the Bills for all time. Just like having been at 64 AFL championship. My dad paid for tickets, and they were a pittance, not like today. It's not about the money. It's about a lifetime of memories.
I'd prefer a lifetime of memories that a trip to Europe or Australia or Africa might provide for that money, but everyone's priorities and desires differ, so I don't criticize anyone for spending that kind of money.

Weather affecting most of the games today. Playing in freezing weather ain't easy.

Way to go Devin!

As bad as they've played, they will win this game. Next week? That's likely another story.

The reason people are upset is that after last year's ending, anything short of a Super Bowl appearance means the season is a failure, and the Bills are not playing like Super Bowl participants.

Seems the Bills don't want the #1 seed.

Bills so close and yet so far from almost locking up the 1 seed. Game against Cincy will be so huge.

Happily, the Bills have solved most of the problems with access to games by being a powerhouse team. I'm in AZ and for the most part never had the Bills available. This season, however, given the Bills marquee status, they have been on in AZ multiple times in addition to the Sunday night, Monday night and Thursday games. Out of 14 games so far I think only 3 haven't been available in AZ.

A text book perfect tackle. White's ribs must been broken. Perhaps Milano could teach the other members of the Bills D in technique as that was exceptional!
That's the point - it was perfect technique. Very effective and greatly reduces any chance for a roughing penalty. I don't understand guys who lead with their helmets and then get all pissy when they're called for a penalty. Milano's tackle should be on every instructional video.

That’s great but remember this: the browns wrs dropped 2 east TD cathches in the 1st half. Against a better team Bills would not win with FGS. It’s progress but slow. And this bloody D aia getting destroyed.
D is doing great against the run.

Ok, score here, take the lead and then blow them out in the 2nd half. Right the ship.

Guess the Bills missed their window last year. It was fun while it lasted.

3rd and 4th and short is the Bills achilles heel. Mystifying.

I understand the need to move the game, but it sucks that the Bills will now have two fewer true home games than true road games. Seems like the football gods looked at the Bills being Super Bowl favorites at the beginning of the year and said "not so fast."

He is a great player. Best player on the team, one of the best in the league - OK. He is clutch in some moments and not so clutch in other moments. Like the past two Sundays.
You can't say he wasn't clutch against KC last year. He's not the one that screwed up the 12 seconds.

They are reading and hearing the noise from the media, Power rankings, SB talk, ect, Meanwhile KC just rolling along , Josh is not handling the fame and praise well, The picks are a big problem, The I can do anything throws are killing us, this team has no killer or put team away , Secondary is a mess Lewis and Johnson have no business being out there, Our DB's never ever look back for the ball. Wildcard at best me think
I'll cut the defense some slack. You have guys in the secondary out there who would likely be on the practice squad absent injuries. Losing the best safety tandem in football inevitably hurts. What's going on with Allen is far more inexplicable. I'd take a closer look at the 1st half other Packer game to see if he suffered a possible concussion. His decision making in the last 10 quarters is full of bonehead decisions and bad throws. That last interception was Noah Petermanesque.

We snatched defeat from the jaws of victory,...from the jaws of defeat,...from the jaws of victory, all in less than an hour. I'm exhausted!
Something this team has become adept at doing recently.

First half, he was looking for that. Second half, he went back to the same crap he’s been doing the past few weeks. He needs to settle down and take what’s there. He’s regressed in 2.5 weeks.
My God, Singletary might have scored himself. Incredibly bad judgement - rookie early season bad.

Looked like Gabe should've stood underneath his receiver that's where Allen released it
Simply put you don't force anything in that situation. They had plenty of time and didn't need the TD at that time. Bad play call, bad judgement by Josh.

Not the best game for the defense, but they are so banged up you can cut them a break. No excuses for the offense, particularly the offense that has come out in the 2nd half of the last 3 games. Big issues.
NFL greed and when will you turn it off?

At least there is a DVR solution for commercials, although you run the risk of seeing the score from IMs on your phone or inadvertently seeing the score elsewhere. My biggest gripe with the NFL greed are the Thursday night games and the additional regular season game. The Thursday games truly put players at risk given the lack of recuperation time, and I think the crappy quality of the games on Thursday reflect it. Expecting players to go full bore for 17 games is also hard on the players (and creates an imbalance in home/away games, but that's another story). The only reason for Thursday games and an extra regular season game is the $$$$$ brought it. Both diminish the quality of play and are detrimental to health of athletes.
