Strong BBFS from the OP. That was a declining Bills team with an over-the-hill Jim Kelly. These two games have nothing in common.

Please stop shouting at us. You’re scaring me.

Denver is 1-7 against teams with a winning record (not counting their win vs KC backups). Just leaving that here for consideration. It’s Dolphin-like.

I won't rewatch that abomination of a game but it looked like guys were just going through the motions, and drawing any conclusions from what was essentially a preseason contest doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Please tell me that you just did a poor job of expressing sarcasm or satire, and this is not in fact a serious take.

I still think his name should be Cyrus O'Torrence.

I disagree. Pittsburgh is in a tailspin but these games are different. I expect a one-score, 4th quarter game.

I'm not sure what game you were watching, but the majority of those "targets" were uncatchable balls.

Darnold is still flawed. Holds the ball, feels the pressure. But he has played incredibly well this year and shown he can be coached.

They are in great position to finish 2nd in the AFCE next season.

Jesus, man. At least try to hide your allegiances. The Pats*** royally screwed things up today and there’s no way around it.

I have to believe that this is only really true for players on teams who are on the fringe of the playoffs and know they don’t really have a chance to hoist the Lombardi. Teams like this year’s Dolphins — they are beaten up and know they don’t have a chance in hell.

Gotta think the Chargers are motivated to win today and go to Houston rather than Baltimore. That sets up a 3rd Steelers/Ravens matchup, and while I think Pittsburgh is trash you never know what might happen in one of those games. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m no longer “worrying” about who the Bills play, though. We’re a damn good team and will have a great opportunity to beat anyone we face.

Love the look of that injury report. Only two players with designations and one of them (Samuel) has been invisible this year anyway. I think Trubisky is going to hand the ball off a lot and throw to the TEs. I like Davis and Morris to have decent days.

If he had hit him low it would have been a cheap shot and penalty. What he did was perfectly legal (and filthy).

That schitt ain’t funny, man…you’re bringing back bad memories…

I think that statement shows that you don’t know anything at all about Del Reid.

Meh. Two of our losses were before mid-October, and since then we beat both KC and Detroit. I think this is pretty meaningless analysis.

You mean the “obnoxious moniker” that started as a joke but became beloved by fans and players alike, and has resulted not only in international recognition for our Bills and their fans but countless acts of charity and good will? That obnoxious moniker? You’re a fun guy.

Great thread. Amazing how superstitious fans are, and hilarious. Good stuff!

That’s high praise, and yet another testament to the influence of Aaron “beach chairs” Kromer. Many of us noted the importance of that hire back in 2022 and our hopes have been rewarded in spades. Anybody still bemoaning the release of Mitch Morse and questioning whether Connor McGovern can play center? Beane and his crew have simply pushed all the right buttons, and I’m sure that decision was heavily influenced by discussions with Kromer. But to your point, Spencer has taken those raw skills and developed into an absolute beast of a RT.

I really think Rousseau and Benford are starting to become those guys. Wishful thinking? Maybe, but when Rousseau is on he’s a dominant force.

Bills should treat this like a preseason game after giving Josh his start and one series.

My hot take? We underestimate how much injuries have hampered this defense in certain games this year, and we’re finally getting healthy at the right time. This is the year the defense doesn’t let us down in the playoffs.

They are having a lot of fun. It’s a great team to root for.
