The Bills want KC at home for once. I think being a seed better than KC is likely personal for the org. That being said, I think Miami, Buffalo, and Cleveland are capable of going in to Arrowhead and beating this years version of the Chiefs.

Totally agree. The advantage that Allen/Mahomes has is they can make something out of nothing at times. Even in reset years it means that they will always have a chance. KC and Buffalo likely misses the playoffs with Tua at QB.

They took the ball out of Josh’s hands. We missed a number of open pass catchers today. Unpopular opinion, but better QB play today and this is a blow out. Full stop.

I think a guy like Rice can continue to work, volunteer, etc. but also never ever be celebrated. There a chasm between being shunned by society forever and celebrated/honored in front of almost 80,000 people.

Aaron Hernandez honorary team captain will be calling the coin toss tomorrow. (Yes I know he’s dead)

Yeah. A big part of being reformed is accepting that people may not forgive you, maybe some never should. In order for real change I think it’s important for abusers, addicts, etc. to internalize that. Theres no need to celebrate Ray Rice, reformed or not.

I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn’t seeing this on a meme page but it’s happening. I generally like the Ravens and Lamar. But this is a terrible look. What’s next? Tyreek Hill getting the Presidential Medal of Honor? https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ravens-will-honor-ray-rice-on-sunday

With AJE and Jones possibly in the line up, I’m curious if they keep dressing Von. He’s still yet to be productive. I just don’t get it.

Also good thing Rodgers was never activated. Could you imagine Rodgers testing positive for HGH? It would be incessant interviews about how “blowing belugas naturally increased my bodies natural production of HGH, but main stream media doesn’t want to talk about that”.

What? Hasek was must watch hockey for everybody in the league. His run in the late 90’s was one of the best stretches by any player in any sport. He single handily won the Olympics. Wayne forking Gretzky said Hasek was the best player in the world while he was playing. He is the only goalie to win the Hart trophy twice. And he did it back to back. Nobody ignored Hasek then woke up in 2010 like “oh shirt, have you seen this excel sheet. I think this Domink Hasek guy might have been pretty good”. Hasek was as big of a star as the league had to offer at his peak. It’s insane to say that people across the league didn’t recognize Hasek as a historical goaltender while he was playing. The only way I can wrap my head around this is it’s some sort of weird hipster flex like “oh I liked Hasek before other people liked Hasek”.

Im glad we have Josh. He’s always been a great teammate. That said, Mahomes weapons suck. Once Tua gets paid and that contract starts to get reflected in cap dollars, I cannot wait for the implosion. If Mahomes is playing like this I cannot wait for Tua to tank that franchise.

This is where just about every defense runs into trouble. Just about every OC and QB says “force them to cover every blade of grass” during the pregame and/or half time.

Right?!? Hasek is at a Brady, Manning, Montana level of conversation. Nobody thinks Hasek is an afterthought.

This one is a win-win for Buffalo. With a KC loss to the Bengals our week 18 game @ Miami is for the 2 seed. Obviously you want to make the playoffs first and foremast, seeding is secondary. But it’s not like a KC loss ruins anything for us. It just changes the stakes for the final game. I get what you’re saying. This has also occurred to me. But let’s not call 3-2 any sort of major statistical advantage. If the Bills win week 18 then win the wild card that record is 3-3 over the last 20 years.

Totally agreed. I was focusing on the offensive side of the ball. That fingertip catch from Diggs kept that drive alive. I think they were looking to put up some Madden numbers on the outside with Davis and Diggs in a statistical slump and Cook going off. The Chargers defense got it right, the Bills offense got it wrong yesterday.

This is a road I am generally pretty quick to go down, but at this point this is basically playoff football for this team so I’ll take the wins where and how I can get them. That said, unsure if it was Brady or Allen, but the game was played deep and outside. I was really frustrated we didn’t get Cook, Kincade, and Shakir going underneath. Chargers were asking for it. A couple key catches from Diggs and Davis kept this one alive. Go Bills baby!

0-6 in games decided by 3 or less. Absolutely brutal for that fan base and locker room.

This is a route I’m quick to go down, but with 2-3 games left and “do or die” I’m happy to take the W. More than “Screw Pegula, Fire McDermott, and Beane is a bumb” rants, I think this game should have highlighted Kincaid, Knox, Shakir. But the team/Allen came out trying to win the game on the outside. That alone almost cost us this game. Luckily Davis made a few key plays for us.

Pretty sure they can only play one game that day, but I’d have to check the official rules.

Im not your buddy, pal!

Nobody but you is name calling man.

I will certainly back off on calling out the OP specifically. I get it. I certainly didn't mean any disrespect. The intent was some friendly ball busting on what is a really silly post. I can admit I took it too far. Apologies to OP on that front. It is OK to call a spade a spade without dumbing down the conversation from a very specific set of circumstances and actions to "see, streaming is bad. booo. hissss. Why can't you support your Bills brethren!" I was continuously responding to the thesis of this thread which was "I won't watch because I don't have access. And not only do I not have access. I refuse to get access. I am taking a stand against the man". All of that turned out to be hot air. Fabricated. The guy lives like 20 minutes from either of his two restaurants, where he already pays for Peacock. You have to see why that deserves some friendly ribbing, right? (Granted, I went too far) If the thesis of this thread was "I hate all the streaming services I have to pay for" the conversation would be different. Your shifting of the goal posts from a very specific set of events and actions to a very general "isn't streaming bad" is convenient at best and disingenuous at worst.

There’s a chance this game is win and in or for the 2 and 7 seed. If things play out like we hope I think this game is prime for Sunday night to close out the league year. Making the sun a total non-factor. Which would be an awesome way to end all of Miami’s home field advantage.

That’s fair. I may have taken it too far. I’ll step back.

What is the proper internet message board response for a guy who threatens to miss his first Bills game since before the drought because he won’t pay $6 for a subscription, only to have it turn out that he likely has not 1 but 2 subscriptions for the product. A product that by the way, he’ll likely be showing for a profit at not one, but two different bar/restaurants. And what I’m really curious about now is, does this guy have a Peacock Sports Pass (for business) or is he just using the standard consumer version?Based on a total lack of self awareness I’d be willing to put a good amount of cash on he’s using a single consumer license at both establishments. When you lay it all out it’s hard to believe that this is even true. I’m not sure this guys even a real person.
