Edmunds is having by far his best season. He's been very good. His weaknesses are still his weaknesses though. He doesn't make any plays on the football whatsoever and until that changes dramatically it will relegate him into the various levels of "good" rather than into the "great" category. He's been as uninstinctive wrt the football as any LB I've ever seen. He misses EVERY opportunity to make a play on the football that is presented. And he really struggles to get off blocks and can turn into a tumbleweed when OL get to the second level because of it.........leaving the Bills vulnerable to long run plays.

Yeah if it's a road game for the opponent as well........it's not a road game..........it's a neutral site game.........like the Super Bowl. And the flight to Detroit is like 40 minutes. To Boston is like an hour. The travel aspect was insignificant. In fact, they got two controlled environment games during flu season and a pleasant evening weather game in New England. The hyperbole is out of control. If they had lost any of those games it would have been a huge disappointment.

Again..........almost every team that plays on a Thursday is playing their 3rd game in 12 days...........Sunday to Sunday to Thursday = 12. Nice job taking care of business against 3 inferior opponents on the road...........the rest is hyperbole.

You do realize that almost every team that plays on a Thursday is playing their 3rd game in 12 days.........Sunday to Sunday to Thursday = 12. I don't know if the person who ginned that up was just trolling Bills fans but it's funny how many people ran with it.

He helped set the tone in the run game early tonight. He's a great tackler. Tied for the NFL lead in run stops by a DL last season........as a rookie.......in a rotational system.

Yeah but he could have had the U of Miami OC job last winter for similar money. And he's from South Florida. The reported reason he wasn't interested is that he hates recruiting. So I'd expect any college OC job he takes to stipulate that he have to do very little recruiting.

Milano replaced the injured starter Humber during the Atlanta game........played a majority of snaps until Humber came back.........went back to a reserve role until the Indy game.........graduated to playing majority of snaps before going on IR and missing the playoff game.

This certainly wasn't your perspective last spring. Same with @eball. Lotta' guffawing when it was sensibly pointed out that the Bills were thin at WR and expecting too much from unproven, injury prone and low pedigree talents.

Bruce? Yeah probably.

Sleep apnea he said. Fairly common problem for drunk drivers. I had an uncle do the same thing. He lived two blocks behind the bar and couldn't stay awake thru the 2 stop signs. Cops pulled his car aside and took him home and dumped him on his couch. Next morning he called me in a panic because he thought somebody stole his car.

Well they were the SB favorite for a reason. Arguably the best QB and deepest roster in the league. The people who complain that expecting more than 8-3 (.727 win %) thru 11 was unfair........they are apparently unaware that you need to expect more to get home field. Last year was literally the first time since 2002 that an AFC team earned the #1 seed with a sub .750 win %. And it's not the expanded schedule. The NFC #1 and #2 both had 13 wins last year and the #1 will probably have 14-15 this time around.

Bills fans complaining about an opponent having an easy schedule is quite laughable given the quality of opponents the Bills have had to face going back to 2017. They rode some pretty favorable schedules to success. This year the Bills have FINALLY faced some adverse scheduling. The media hasn't quite gotten around to talking about it just yet, but not only have the Bills played a lot of good teams......an ACTUAL first place schedule for once.......but barring anymore snowpocalypses they will finish the regular season playing on the road 10 times and at home only 7. I think the difficult schedule has taken a bit of a toll on the players psyche...........the career Bills on the team really aren't used to having to play 60 minutes of focused football every week.

The Bengals actually snuck into the 3rd seed with a win over KC at home last year and then manipulated the Bills into that unfortunate pairing with KC by tanking their finale. And here they come again. I am not really inclined to root for things to align for them again. Whatever happens in that game this Sunday.......hopefully it ends up a favorable result for the Bills at the end of the season. I want the Bills to get the #1 seed but I'd also rather have home games in the first 2 rounds and only THEN have to travel for the AFCCG than be on the road in the divisional........which is entirely possible if Cinci gets hot and beats the Bills at home to finish ahead of the Bills in the seeding.

Yeah if it comes down to 2023 and beyond money I'd be shocked if the Bills ponied up even close to the guarantees that Dallas or even the cap strapped Giants could. What we don't know is whether anyone is ACTUALLY willing to give him any kind of multi-year commitment without seeing him play. That's just what has been floated out there by his people. This isn't the NBA......when teams think you are an injury risk in the NFL.........the money typically is not there. Which is the only reason I still think the Bills are in play.

I think the larger point here is that you can absolutely have a bunch who behave badly off the field.........even big stars.......mixed with a bunch that are choir boys and still have a winning locker room. Case in point........I doubt Josh Allen's GF would be cool with JA living like Diggs juggling multiple GF's(putting them up in different rooms in the same hotel LOL) and having kids with baby mama's. Yet JA and Diggs are tight. Different strokes. It was like that with Reich and Kelly. Reich wasn't ever going to go to one of JK's parties or grab dinner and drinks.......but they were tight in the locker room and good with having breakfast/lunch together.

Exactly. It's insane that someone who claims to remember those teams can't remember what a cluster*ck their stars often were off the field........and sometimes on it.......like the Bickering Bills of 1989. Then they signed Reggie Rogers after he got out of prison for killing someone driving drunk? Was DrPJax being serious implying that the Bills weren't loaded with diva's and troublemakers? Later Butler pursued psycho's Lawrence Phillips and Wayne Simmons. ANY notion that the 90's Bills were a class act in a league full of teams that accepted bad behavior is wrong.

Kelly was sued for physically assaulting a couple women when he was drunk in 1987.........he left a pile of unpaid bills when his restaurant closed despite having the means to resolve them.........and there were less substantiated stories that were uglier. JK was never considered a great guy until long after his playing career. Bruce Smith had driving under the influence issues and the Bills at one time had a PI investigating his connection to local drug dealers and he was subsequently suspended for failing multiple drug tests. Cornelius Bennett? He literally served time for sexual assault. (how could you not have heard that, at least?) Not sure where you got the idea that these guys didn't have reputations for significantly worse misbehavior than getting kicked off a plane after taking some xanax.

Boston Celtics and New England pro sports fans @Nextmanup and @YoloinOhio disagree. Buffalo sports fans should never root for any New England pro teams.

I disagree that 40 seconds is a universal number. Perhaps for other pass heavy teams. But not for a Bills offense that relies heavily on Allen in the run game. And the opponent matters here as well. The Lions are a nickel and dime offense. I'll take my chances with them with 20 seconds left in exchange for having the rush option still in play inside the 30 when Josh Allen has the ball. I thought they played it smarter in the Browns game.

I guess you are responding to the wrong post because I never said anything in this thread even close to "the Bills don't have a shot at the #1" seed. But it's a fact that they no longer control their own destiny for that critical #1 seed and the bye. They've blown that lead..........and I wouldn't frame their schedule as favorable compared to that of the #1 seed Chiefs. Right now there are 8 teams in the AFC with winning records.........the Bills have 5 of their remaining 6 games against them. The Chiefs have 7 games left and 5 are against teams with losing records. And all 8 of those teams think if we take care of our own business we will finish ahead of the Bills in the seeding. That's not where the Bills were projected to be. They've been upset 3 times. Last season, same issue. Upset 5 times on the way to a 7-6 record thru 13 games. And I'll add that you can be enjoying the season and you can be expecting a much better ending than finishing 5th in your conference......... but you can also be of the belief that they have failed to play up to their potential yet again........and that jeopardizes the goals of a team that's gone 0-4 on the road in the playoffs under this coaching staff.

One of my buddies answers to Baler Hayfield so bale jokes are on speed search.

That was exactly the story as you over-shared it here on TSW thru 2020 (when you were lamenting your inability to get playoff tickets for the Baltimore game). Since I bring it up periodically when you go on one of your fan-shaming LAMP-rants now you want to re-frame it? Of course you do.

BWAAAH......hahahahahahaHAhahahahahaha......
