I guess you mean in the regular season. They got dominated in the AFCCG in KC and then their #1 ranked defense gave up almost 600 yards of offense in the divisional round last season. Josh Allen and Gabe Davis played well that day.........that's about it. Much rather play them at a neutral site.

AJ Epenesa is a free agent after 2023 season so I would not be the least bit surprised by them taking an edge in round 2. If the season doesn't end in the Bills winning a SB I could see them trading their first round pick for what they perceive can be a veteran impact player............sometimes the value when picking late in round 1 is to trade for a Jason Peters/Orlando Brown type player that wants a change of scenery or new contract like Philly and KC had done with those players in the past.

It would be the opposite of "wild". Also........a full house of fans who all have to travel 3 hours or more to the game and then sit in potentially 0 degree windchill weather is not the recipe for a great experience.

It's not. You can generally help cover up a RT with a blocking TE. As bad as Brown has been in pass pro at times I have much more confidence in him getting much better in year 3 than I ever did with Cody Ford.

I think Benford is worth keeping and developing at CB. Tre White.........I could see moving to S if he doesn't get some long speed and quickness back. Ultimately, if you aren't picking best player at premium position in early rounds you are setting yourself up for failure. The Bills have been chasing needs too often ever since Beane went Cody Ford instead of clearly more promising WR prospects.

@Einstein has one that can project a picture the size of his house.

Saleh is the boneless wing of Meatheads.

They are paying PFF a six figure fee every year for access to all of the information they generate. The argument that they are just paying them to track things like personnel formations is laughable..........the league itself tracks that info and the team could hire an upaid intern to compile that kind of data.

Clowney was already a legend as a HS recruit. Players like that don't have to earn a lot of stripes.........they just gotta' flash the talent a bit too confirm to scouts what they saw. People don't realize just how closely NFL personnel people follow recruiting........especially the road scout types like Doug Whaley.........I think that Cyrus Kouandjio and Sammy Watkins picks were heavily influenced by them being 5 star recruits from the same class as Clowney.

Blaming the NFL for this is like blaming a loss on one bad call by an official...........it ignores the vast amount of other outcomes that created the scenario in the first place. If the Bills didn't choke away big leads to the Jets OR Minnesota then they wouldn't have needed the Bengals game.........they could have secured home field at home versus NE regardless of any other outcomes. All in all........Buffalo gets treated fairly in this. I've been a season ticket holder for nearly 30 years as well.........having not completed the 17 game schedule I don't know how you can act like a home AFCCG is something you own the rights to.

The plasma sets were much more expensive to manufacture compared to LED/LCD.........so there was more money to be made pumping out a higher volume of slightly less expensive TV's that were much less expensive to manufacture. The LED/LCD tv's didn't have the burn-in issues and glare problem in bright rooms that plasma had.........but those were fixable issues with plasma.........they just cheaped out and gave us significantly worse quality for a decade. There are actually a lot of those type business decisions in tech. Like inferior tape technology being used for audio and video when CD/DVD tech was ready to go in the late 70's. Often times there is more money to be made by leaving the customer wanting as long as possible. Oh so you remember those women's beach volleyball demos they used to show in-store on the new plasma's?

Generally agree.............but that's not what happened with plasma tv technology...........they discontinued it despite it being a superior picture to the LCD tech and it took many years for OLED to be readily available to replicate the deep blacks of plasma.........and only now are those starting to size up to anywhere near the cheaper panel technologies.

When they are on the field next.........they will want passionate support.

Fortunately your first statement is inaccurate........or the human race would have been wiped out by trauma alone long ago. It's important to grieve but you also have to get back to your life. As @BillsVet aptly noted.......lowering expectations(apathy) is not a positive solution........if you are lowering expectations that is a personal choice and probably better left unsaid.......because the players WANT the fans to be passionate about their work.

There is a good deal of moping being attributed to a guy who is fighting.

What's your point? Going under cover of a dugout or pavilion or car during a lightning storm isn't nearly as effective as, you know, getting out of the water to prevent a shark attack. About 1/3 of people who get struck by lightning get struck indoors. Point being........it's not a fail safe to just take players off of a field........but we take the precaution anyway. Specific padding to distribute the impact to the chest might not make it impossible that there will be a recurrence of such an injury but it would likely reduce the chances.

The league might insist on some pad changes to protect the chest a bit more. We were actually talking in pregame about how little padding coverage most players have now. I heard a medical professional say this was like the odds of being struck by lightning.........and yet, when there is lightning sports teams are pulled off the field in sports at all levels...........

Yeah it's an injury most associated with baseball because players don't pad up. You can buy shirts with a special circular series of pads in the center of the chest. I made my youngest wear one but never told him why. Didn't figure anything good could come out of making him scared of the ball. Still no guarantee of safety. Instant death on the field from this among children in youth baseball is not as uncommon as you'd think.

Did you get a lifetime contract for playing with your niscus all torn like that? I'm told Poyer should get whatever he asks for.

That was a very clever attempt to turn this into an Edmunds thread. Okay.........should we re-sign Edmunds or Poyer?

And I hope you learn to take yourself much less seriously and be less needy for approval. That's why I bust your balls. Don't use manipulative lady friend tactics.......if you wanted to brag about your fantasy team you should have justed started that thread saying so........and then you could have gone back to follow up on it.

Yeah.........I can't watch much of the talking heads discussing matchups with the Bills. I've watched every Bengals game this season. I know what to expect. Same as I knew to expect that the Dolphins weren't going to unseat the Bills in the AFCE despite about 6 weeks or so of national media declaring it. I expect a Bills win too.

I think we all know this but with regard to the Bills..............they haven't won a road playoff game yet under McDermott. 0-4 It might matter less for some teams........I think it's basically a 50/50 split for everyone else in the playoffs over that period of time..........but it feels important to THIS organization.
