    My takeaway,  at the end both teams went for the knockout punch.  Green Bay went for 4th and goal to put the game out of reach and Failed.  Arizona, in chip shot FG range threw the ball. INT, Fail.

     

    Buffalo went for it late at Tenn. Fail.

     

    I'm just too much of an old school guy.  Sometimes take the FG and allow your entire team to win a game, instead of one play.  Defenses really dig in on these all or nothing plays.  I don't care what the analytics say, it's not always the best call to take the risky play.

     

     

     

    Right. It's not always the best call. It just often is. That's exactly what the analytics say.

    The Long Island RR doesn't go to NJ.  I know there are trains from Manhattan on NJ transit but I don't know how to get to them.  

     

    If you're interested in tailgaiting check with the NYC Bills backers.  I'm going on a bus trip from Albany with a Jets fan & won't be tailgaiting. 

     

    Remember-Met-Life is a cashless stadium:   

    Cash-Free Transactions

    To reduce touchpoints and create a faster payment experience, MetLife Stadium is operating cash-free. Cash will not be accepted at concession stands or retail locations. Pay with a debit or credit card using contactless tap to pay, mobile wallet, chip or swipe. The Jets prefer Visa as a form of payment. Reverse ATM machines will be available throughout MetLife Stadium for guests to convert cash to a prepaid Visa debit card. The Visa debit card has no expiration date and can be used anywhere a Visa debit card is accepted. Reverse ATMs are located in MetLife West Hall and adjacent to sections:

    117, 128, 149 (100 Level)

    220a, 245a (200 Level)

    304, 322, 334, 347 (300 Level)

     

     

     

    Penn Station.  Take the train from Penn to Seacaucus, then transfer to the direct shuttle train from Seacaucus to Meadowlands.  On Sundays, Seacaucus is literally wall to wall with Jets/Giants fans pregaming in Manhattan.  It's definitely the best way to get to and from NYC for pregaming IF that's what you want to do.

    Obviously losing Monday stunk for a bunch of reasons. For me while you do not want to lose my greater frustration was just the potential seeding tiebreaker, but I had another thought that bugged me more then anything else. I feel like for the second dang year we played in a game that will be considered one of the best on the season and came out on the losing side. Last year when we lost to Cardinals last second my frustration wasn't as much the loss because it happens and like Monday they lost but it doesn't ruin the season I am confident the team will be fine. But for the love of god can we come out on the better side of this equation haha. We play the Titans next year and like this offseason I am going to have to hear a years worth of how great the game wise, blah blah blah and it's deja vu all over. Hopefully we win the SB so we have the ultimate trump card, but it would be really freakin nice to play in one of the games of the year and not come out on the losing end and actually be able to enjoy watching it back.

     

    I've felt like this in the past, as in every time there's a highly anticipated game with a great opponent and everyone expects fireworks, etc, we come out laying an egg. ...but we beat the Chiefs last week. That was considered a huge game where we delivered in all facets.

    I like hearing that they all feel sick to their stomach after that loss.

    Good.

    Let it burn them up for two weeks. Let them be chomping at the bit to get back to work. Let them rip off four straight wins leading to Thanksgiving in New Orleans.

    I don't want to say it, but...oh, okay....let them come back Humble and Hungry!

    I think all of your questions can be answered at the same time.

     

    The Bills have built their team over the last few years to be able to consistently beat the Patriots who were a passing offense and run the ball almost as an afterthought kind of team, last year the team realized that they had attained that goal (attributed as much to the Pats decline as our buildup). The team then started to build to be able to consistently beat the Chiefs who are also a pass first team, and IMHO have attained that goal. The problem is that when your team is centered on being a fast strike score a billion points on offense, and a flood the passing lanes to harass the the passing game type of defense, you run into problems with smash mouth run it up the gut bully the opponent kind of teams. I think we will always have problems with the Titians and Ravens of the world, but the majority of teams in todays NFL are the air it out to score on any given play rather than the "I'm going to run it a dozen times a series to march down the field", so I think we'll be just fine.

     

    And I'd add that we'll still beat those few others when it counts.  Those teams have to have perfect games or else we will run away with the score.

    The kid went from nobody wanting him out of high school; going to JUCO, sending out thousands of emails and tape, and finally one school giving him an opportunity.  He turned that opportunity into the 7th overall pick in the 2018 draft; and in his fourth year is the second highest paid QB in the NFL, and one of the bright young stars in the league.  He worked his ass off for that!   That's winning - winning in life and on the football field.   You know what's not winning - sitting at your desk eating cheetos racking up over 36.8k meaningless forum posts like this one.  

     

    I'm dying. 😅 I need to block this site from all devices between the hours of 9 and 5.

    One other thing, McDermott and Frazier are brilliant. The Bills didn't blitz Mahomes once this game. They took the '2 deep' strategy that everyone has been talking about against Mahomes and improved it. They always seem to manage to find a defensive gameplan that works. 

     

    KC rans almost 80 plays. I know it's crazy, but I think they almost tried a 'reverse' ball control strategy. Make KC's offense stay on the field as long as possible before they score instead of trying to have their offense stay on the field. 

    It's actually exactly what a bend but don't break defense strives to achieve.  

     

    Make them earn every yard, increase the odds of mistakes by increasing the sample size of play, and compress in the end zone to make it difficult to capitalize with TDs.

    God I hate the white on white.  Not only does it look bad but it seems like we always lose in those colors.

     

    I hate it without the proper striped socks.  Everyone wears white spandex and they look like a bunch of nurses.

    Pressure Mahomes.  Then outscore them

     

    That is what the Offseason and Draft was about.  Lets see.

     

    This. You can't stop them.  Make Mahomes as uncomfortable as you can and score when you have the ball.  That's it.

    I'm not willing to go that far but you do make fair points. Josh has been mostly average which is still better rhan most QBs. He's better than 2019 based on experience alone. He doesn't turn the ball over nearly as much. His maturity is pretty clear. With that, he dies need to play better. Especially, this Sunday against a weak KC defense.

     

    Edmunds is average and I can see why you don't agree with the signing. 

     

    The Oline is a concern for obvious reasons. 

     

    Strongly disagree with your Knox take. He has played really well. He looks to be a solid piece on the offense.

     

    Love coach McD. He is a great leader and has the respect of the players. They play hard for him and he has the team ready to play. I believe the Pitt game was a one off. Also, I think the coaching staff makes great halftime adjustments. Daboll is very good. It's easy to point the finger at the offensive coordinator. He will always be scape goat's. Imho, the Bills are fortunate to have him. 

     

    Lastly, the Bills do have a chance. I'm expecting a loss but a win isn't out of the question. KC defense is very beatable. A great game plan and execution is needed. 

     

    ....I mean, someone was bound to fall for it.  Why not you?

  11. This is a really fun video.  Josh erases a multitude of sins.  I'm slightly worried about his constant drifting towards his target, which is kind of a tell.  ...but he might be creating that bad habit due to his awful protection, and also, he (maybe unintentionally) gets the defense to cheat whichever way he's drifting, then takes off the opposite way or throws to his opposite side.  Not only is the latter kind of hilarious because his physical traits allow him to do that with ease, but you also wonder if he drifts one way intentionally, and NOT because his protection is breaking down.

    Rodgers does it every week with Pat McAfee. Not a teammate but he does radio.

    Ego has nothing to do with it.

    You don't find it odd you are trying to make things up to put down some guy who you never met just to try and prop up Allen?

     

    Just FYI Josh doesn't need to be propped up with false negatives against another player. Josh already proven he is an outstanding person with great character.

     

    I really really like this post.  Whether Rodgers is a bad guy or not, and whether that matters from a winning standpoint, or not, we don't have to compare him to Josh to feel good about him.  Josh is an amazing person and player in his own right.  We're so lucky to have him.
