I guess I didn't realize the Jags are currently on an 18-game losing streak, which is 3rd all-time since the AFL/NFL merger. Should they lose to Cinci Thursday night they will match the 2nd longest such streak, matching the Detroit Lions' run of ineptitude that bracketed their 0-16 campaign. The all-time worst? Tampa Bay, who lost the first 26 games of their existence. Looking ahead...if Jacksonville doesn't end their streak before then, they will carry a 22-game skid into the 11/7 matchup with Buffalo.

Preach, brother! I'll never get those 23 seconds back...

Somewhere on this board somebody started a thread about point differential as if it was something for Bills fans to be "concerned" about. I posted in that thread how it was inaccurate to say the Bills weren't winning big last year based upon the streak Yolo quoted above. It's true -- ever since the Arizona Hail Mary the Bills are beating the piss out of people in the regular season. The Steeler game was an anomaly. This is the start (continuation) of a historic run.

Yeah. Just kind of a dumb statement at this point in the season, if you ask me. Of course every game counts. I think the point is that if the Bills play like they are capable of that loss to Pittsburgh will be nothing other than a blip. But if you want to keep pounding the table about this, rock on.

If you want to go down that road then KC and Baltimore have both also lost games that could cost them a shot at HF advantage. Bottom Line: W1 results rarely impact who wins the big one.

Almost every penalty in the NFL that involves action during the play (as opposed to false starts, Offside, dead ball fouls) is subject to interpretation. PI is no different than offensive holding. I've stopped worrying or complaining about penalty calls...you know going into every game that they will occur -- you just hope a bad call doesn't truly impact the result of the game (unless it is in the Bills' favor). All in all the referees do a pretty remarkable job.

5th time in last 19 games. Damn.

This one’s pretty easy for me. I don’t hate either Brady or Belichick but I absolutely despise the Pats***, their Masshole fans, and their miscreant owner. Bucs all the way, hopefully in embarrassing fashion.

The Bills’ offense is pretty much unstoppable as it is. The combo of Motor and Moss do all of the things needed in this offense. I’m not saying adding a Thurman Thomas clone to the mix wouldn’t be fantastic, but they don’t need it to be an amazing offense.

Going with a combo of NOx2, KCx2, CIN, and BUF this week.

One of those teams had a future superstar at QB. The other had Kirk Cousins.

This aged well.

Maybe Beane can sign him on the cheap.

If you're a Bills fan and "worried" about this game, I suggest seeking professional help. The BBFS has so infiltrated your psyche you may be beyond saving, but there is no time to waste. Yeah, crazy crap happens, but if the Bills play their game and the Texans play theirs, Buffalo wins by 20.

Come on, guys...this was low-hanging fruit. Obviously the shipment was intercepted in route.

If your strategy is to win the pool (rather than just "surviving") you try to avoid the most obvious pick of the week, as that one will be the most popular and if there is a big upset all of those people will be out. But yes, you do look for specific teams to pick against.

Bills are too obvious this week. After my first glance at the slate I like the Packers, Titans, and Chefs.

"Careless with the football." "Playing hero ball." "Hasn't matured."

I'm glad that worked out well for you Sunday. You do realize that the "kill them with kindness" philosophy tends to yield good results, right?

I know, right? I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it.

Well, at least we beat WFT so our playoff tiebreaker status should be 💯

Well, the results are in. Best Bills uniform combos: White helmet w/ charging buffalo (by a 2-to-1 margin) Blue over white at home (in a landslide) White over white on the road (just edging out white over blue)

Buffalo News has a good article up this morning about the OL play specifically against WFT. Bottom line: no sacks by that DL is tremendous for a team that dropped back 40+ times, but Ford had his hands full with Payne. Still, very positive signs going forward. I don't even pay attention to run-blocking analysis any more. That's not who we are.

Good post. I’ll add this…play action is important, but you don’t need a “strong” running game for PA to be effective. Daboll knows this as well. I think the RBs the Bills have complement this offensive strategy perfectly. Motor has the shiftiness and acceleration to break an occasional big play, and Moss has shown to be a tough runner and good pass catcher. They both are proficient at blitz pickup — a must in this style of offense.
