Sully is a Sports media legend in this town. Even the fact that he has been marginalized in his new job and has little exposure like he used to, yet he still seems to cause controversy is testament to that. I dont think Sully or any Bills fan for that matter has to apologize for being cynical or negative when it comes to this team. We lived through almost 20 years of a joke organization, bad coaches and utter dreck on the field. Having a skeptical take on this franchise is just common sense. That all being said, I think he is right in this article. The Bills are a team right now that could get to the SB and with a few breaks (on any given Sunday), win it.

Yes the NFL will force the BILLS to forefeit!! But then McD will throw the challenge flag!! at which they will go to NY who will confirm that replays confirm the forfeit call by the league!!

I've noticed this in all sports. The crowd adds a massive amount of white noise to what's being said on the field or playing surface and is kind of like a mild censor for the swearing going on. There isnt enough of delay on the broadcast to stop it anyway. Personally I think its really cool to hear everything unfiltered from the field. Yesterday was getting pretty testy. The Raiders have a bunch of thugs on their team so it was hardly surprising that regular F bombs were dropped.

It was a clear TD on the first look and on the replay which of course means that it wasn't called a TD on the first look by the goal line official and then not not called a TD by the replay refs in NYC because its the NFL! The Carr fumble was another mystifying call. Clearly it was a fumble. I think the officials tried to squirm out of that one by saying they had blown the whistle before the fumble which if true is just another incompetent call. Officials also missed a blow to the head on Josh on that play where he hurt his shoulder. Just another day of mediocrity in NFL officiating. Its nice that this years Bills can overcome it.

Wish him the best. Its a shame that his time here was cut short by the lingering effects of a dirty hit.

uhhh just hearing that name gives me some awful flashbacks.

Today our defense in the 2nd half reminded me of two recent scary Pats games: 1. The complete collapse of the Falcons D in that SB and The Pats Defeat of Reid and KC in the AFC championship 2 years ago. In both those cases and today you had defenses that were in disarray, exhausted and seemingly defeated and the coaches had no answers. Surely there is something that coaches can go to when their defenses are on the ropes like that. Some sort of new schemes or substitution. That was just way too easy for McVeigh to shred us.

I am mystified why people think this was a bad decision. Josh threw it up to where only Kroft is getting it. Its exactly the kind of jump ball throw we were screaming for last year and we kept arguing that Bills receivers weren't doing enough of. It was a great throw, on the money and Kroft's push off is pretty mild (especially if you compare to Gronk's usual move). If Kroft doesnt push off, I still think that the DB isnt getting it because he jumps too early and is too short. Kroft catches it and his back hits the ground with it in his hands. Never an INT!!

Only in the Alice in wonderland world of NFL officiating does a rule so intensely stupid get created. Its as bad as the tuck rule or some of the leagues idiotic attempts to define a catch in recent years!

Winning despite the refs is the most important part of your statement. A championship team does this because the refs in this league are garbage. Its only a matter of time before you get screwed on a phantom call or completely nonsense "we dont even know the rules of the game" call like the INT BS. Most of the Bills teams of the last 20 years would have folded after that gut punch by the refs. Kudos to Josh, he took the team on his back and got this win. He even overcame some of his own immature mistakes to do it!

First of all it if that actually was a take away then why is it called a INT. The DB did not intercept a pass. He placed his hands on an already caught ball. Then the receiver who caught the ball first , hits the ground. The play is actually over at that point. The Simultaneous possession rule clearly states the ball belongs to the offense. In no way was that an INT or a fumble. The refs didnt seem to understand their own rule on that play but of course clearly understand the nonsense no horsecollar in the pocket rule in full detail.

This is true but it doesnt change the narrative about why a league would call a particular style of tackle dangerous and outlaw it but somehow make it legal in the pocket? Because it isnt dangerous in there? huh?

Frazier needed to do something different when the Rams started rolling. By that stage they had figured us out. Obviously we were exhausted but the Rams had done their homework and once they saw the weaknesses they exploited them. Our defensive schemes work great against anybody when the defense has time to rest but once they were gassed it was time to change it up.

Because its the NFL who make up dumb rules that defy reason in the first place.

Once again the Bills take years off my life. Once again the refs in the NFL are the worst in sports. Heart is pounding!!

McV > McD

Robert Woods looks like Andre Reed out there.

All leading from a phantom INT on Josh that should have never stood!

OMG defense, man the F up !! pathetic effort on that 2pt convert

The Bills need a Turnover. They are completely worn out.

The NFL is the only league where clear instant replay that clearly goes against on a field call is dismissed routinely without any explanation. Total BS gift to the Rams!

No way in hell that is an INT!!

I dont know what youre talking about, Ive always been a Levi Wallace fan! One of my favorite players!!

Funny because that is true! 9.5 million would literally buy you a neighbourhood of streets in the detroit inner city. Those streets are literally filled with abandoned homes where people just walked away. Its vaguely like pripyat after the chernobyl explosion.

I want to like Wallace but he seems to always be a step late , a step away or a bit unaware of where the ball is. Really curious to see if Norman has anything left.
