Clearly, it's not. They may have good individual talents but they are obviously not playing well as a unit. I really don't care what the JESTs do...if the Buffalo Bills of the past four weeks show up on Sunday, taking the Bills and laying the points is a steal.

I've always wanted to win the comp pick championship...

I started trying to complete this exercise and found myself in complete awe of the 18 year period from 1981-1998 of the SF 49ers. The 49ers won five SBs but it could (should) have been eight or nine. They were dominant. It's still unbelievable the Bills and 49ers didn't match up during our run. They lost five NFC championship games during that span. And they did it with two HOF QBs and three HCs, which is what sets them apart from the other dynasties folks talk about. During that span the 49ers' average league rankings were 3.7 on offense and 5.7 on defense. OVER 18 YEARS. Are you kidding me? The only run that compares, IMO, is the Pats*** run of eight straight AFC championship games (and three SB wins) from 2011-2018. Dallas' "run" was ironically only really four years; it just happened to coincide with ours.

Helped them immensely two weeks ago.

I've gotta say no to this, particularly given what the cost would be.

Love it. More NFL (and specifically, Buffalo Bills) football is never too much football.

This analysis is completely correct and something most of us acknowledged all year. The middle of the season is a mystery, and a tale of wasted opportunity. The good (great) news is that something woke the team up during halftime of the Tampa game, and now all bets are off. This could now be the dominating force I expected.

You know next to nothing about the Bills' process. Correction: you know nothing about the Bills' process. Allen was always their guy. Who plays QB for your team?

Just what the league needs...more ass-chin.

If someone hasn't already said this... ...it's several years too late.

My first reaction to this was "so?" -- then I remembered the 4:25 start. lol

Crappy draft. First season post Thurman, Bruce, Andre. Johnson named starter. That said, they were 7-4 and probably on their way to the playoffs despite the worst ST in the history of football when Sam Cowart -- who was having an All-Pro year -- ruptured his achilles in the first half at Tampa in a game the Bills were controlling. They lost that one and spiraled from there. It was the beginning of the drought. Takeaways: Wade Phillips shot himself in the foot with the knee-jerk reaction of firing DeHaven after the Tennessee playoff loss. He brought his buddy in who was a disaster. The culture was shot and their talent got them to 8-8.

…as wins that helped propel us to a Super Bowl victory.

All of you replying to @FilthyBeast as if he's a legitimate Bills fan have me like...

Fans of who? Keep trolling, man.

Fair point.

I'm all for fair critique of players. What I can't stand is the premature "declarations" that run rampant. If people can't understand that, it's not my problem. Again, I'm glad for both of these guys and for the team.

…who have established themselves this year as (edit) potential cornerstones of the Bills’ D. Per usual, the armchair idiots who called both guys busts have once again been proven wrong. Different players have different timelines to become acclimated to the NFL (and Harry had to overcome a significant injury). I look forward to a new contract for Phillips and watching both of these guys anchor the DL for years to come. When will fans learn? Probably never.

Yup, this doesn't mean anything other than he is eligible to practice. I still believe it is very unlikely he sees action. Those injuries are tough. If he does make it back, good for him, but I don't think he'll be 100%. Whatever, though...if the Bills play them I hope he's a full go and we still stomp them.

You're gonna have to 'splain how you get Nantz-Romo going to Tampa as a sign they'll be in Buffalo in a week.

Wow, a craptastic slate for NC. The only good game of the four is the late SF/LAR tilt, and of course I'll be watching our Bills.

Key here is Saturday night. If Denver beats KC then the 2 seed is in play and we want the Browns to beat the Bengals. If KC wins then we can't get the #2 so it's all about sorting out the rest of the seeds on Sunday. If you want to go to Tennessee the 2nd weekend you want the 4, if you don't mind going to KC it's the 3.

Fixed, and yes. He's done a tremendous job.

Pretty cool that "win and you're in" Vegas vs. Bolts is the last game of the weekend on SNF.

I'll guarantee you that there are, at a minimum, five people who are keenly aware of this: Diggs, Allen, Daboll, McD, and Beane. If Diggs doesn't get six catches on Sunday I will be stunned.
