  1. Everyone is missing the point. I learned long ago that losing to an NFC team actually helps our seeding.
  2. This is better than 12 guys on the field. Smiley told the team to err on the side of caution this time.
  3. It was the dumbest thing ever. They masterfully kept all three up until that moment, then figured out a way to use it.
  4. This was all just practice for the playoffs. McD told the D to not show up, and force Josh to try and win this one all by himself. This way, Josh is ready for that come playoff time.
  5. If the false start is called against them, we win the game in spite of our horrible D today and McD accepting the holding penalty on 3rd down.
  6. That and the missed false start on 4th down drove me crazy, on top of the poor game management by the team at the end too.
  7. For sure, #1 seed with no players left!
  8. The value of the 1 seed will be greater now than it was for the first 30 of those 34 years. For 30 of those years, the 2 seed also got a bye, hence the automatic win and injury avoidance too. The 2 seed no longer has that, so over time the SB win % of the 2 seed will drop, whereas the 1 seed % will go up and I’d think the other seeds % will increase ever so slightly too.
  9. Got it, sounds like this doctor’s speculation is unlikely then, at least the Hep D possibility. Whatever it is, hope he’s able to get well soon. https://athlonsports.com/nfl/expert-reveals-potential-reason-randy-moss-eyes-look-yellow-report
  10. Kareem Jackson is also on the PS and would get the call-up to be a backup, before Hyde at this point. No way Hyde is near game shape anyway.
  11. There’s lots of speculation out there about what could be causing it. Some doctors theorizing Hepatitis A or D as well.
  12. I don’t know, I guess we’ll just have to wait to find out.
  13. Goff is going to struggle against the zone concepts of our defense. If we can at least slow down their running game, we will beat the Lions next week.
  14. I do think that for some voters, there will be consideration given to the fact that Josh has been consistently doing incredible things over the past several years. Combine that with Josh continuing to win a lot of games this season in spite of lowered expectations, limiting turnovers, and having these MVP moments, there’s a lot of positive narrative to where he’ll finally earn it this season.
  15. Where are the ski goggles?? https://m.youtube.com/shorts/84xrgtHYK_U
  16. Whether it’s a bigger deep threat or not, I think the team is really positioned to get a guy that will create some type of mismatch, versus having an urgent need to fill. Lots of flexibility with making the roster younger and better.
  17. Aside from this season, I’m really excited about what this roster can be again next season. Most of our core players are signed beyond 2024. If we let Douglas or Hamlin walk, we some depth that could potentially step up and/or we can use some of our draft capital to further shore up the secondary. But the roster is really setup to take BPA in the draft, whether that’s OL, DL, wherever. I personally would love the Bills to find another young WR to add to our stockpile of weapons.
  18. There’s only been 7 teams ever before with 15 wins or more in the regular season. If the Bills go 15-2, even if Saquon breaks the rushing record, I don’t see how Josh doesn’t get voted MVP. The year that Eric Dickerson set the rushing record, Dan Marino still won MVP instead. I guess unless the Eagles are 15-2 too, but I’d still argue Saquon has Jalen Hurts alongside to help.
  19. I was thinking this would be even more pronounced when we play Detroit, even the defense being extra focused on shutting Goff down and showing that we have the best team and QB in the league.
  20. I don’t know, you might give her a run for the money! Man, I hope you never have something bad happen to you, and then people claim you are crying wolf and have ulterior motives. I’ll take the side of the 8-year old girl and her parents versus some drunk inconsiderate fan.
  21. So you expect him to run down these slippery stairs past his daughter that had just been knocked into a chair, to instead go a beat the crap out of some drunk guy and maybe end of up in jail or get beat up himself? Not everyone is looking to be the next Conor McGregor.
  22. If you listen to their interviews, sequence of events is as follows: 1. During first half, at least someone sitting behind them states their intention to throw snowballs at 49er fans during the game. 2. At halftime, family decides they’re ready to leave. While heading down the stairs, a drunk fan behind them states that they’re just going to “push through all these 49er fans”. It was unclear to the father if this is the same person that had been behind them in the seats. 3. Drunk fan pushes past mom and dad, then knocks over daughter when passing her. 4. Daughter falls/slips/whatever into some seat below where she initially was. Luckily, it sounds like daughter only had bruised ribs from the fall, nothing worse. The above sequence includes much of the pieces that you’ve heard. Unfortunately, it took listening to maybe three local news reports to piece this together, so if anything, the reporting could have been way clearer. The pieces add up here, although if someone can produce video or witnesses that watched this family while they were leaving and none of this happened, then I guess we would know for sure they made the whole thing up.
  23. You’re expecting the Bills to release video footage on the incident, to prove to people like you that this really happened? You’re going to be waiting for a long time. How about listen to a few of the interviews that the father and daughter gave, so you can appreciate what they’re claiming happened? Yes, the news outlets have done a bad job of explaining what happened, but the story adds up just fine if you listen. Again, where are these witnesses of yours that were there that are claiming the family is lying? So far, it just sounds like an emotional response from you that doesn’t want to hear the real facts.
  24. Blaming the victims, very nice. Where is your evidence that this story is not true? Point me to people saying they were witnesses and this family is making this up. Rational and objective people will realize just because some drunk fan pushed over some little girl, it doesn’t mean that ALL Bills fans do that same. If someone says something to you about it, you can agree and say “yea that was a really rude thing the drunk fan did”, as opposed to getting all defensive that it’s an indictment of the rest of us fans.
