Can you add?

Jesus f***ing Christ. Let the man get back into the flow and play a few games. Fans suck. Particularly the mouth-breathers. Go Bills!

Apologies in advance…but what a stupid f***ing thread.

But we suck and are doomed. /thread

This is not a “critical” game for the Bills by any means (I think the loss in LA sufficiently scuttled realistic hopes for the 1 seed), but it is important for the defense to play better and have this be a competitive game. We’re getting a bunch of guys back (so are they) and I think the Bills will hold the Lions to 24 or less. If Josh plays like Josh, we win this one without having to sweat out an end-of-game scenario. Go Bills!

Why is college basketball “unwatchable” to you?

I find that I am treated like God quite often...I'm usually ignored unless people think they need me for something.

I love that Vin-Sanity is now a part owner of the Bills! (that's Vince Carter, UNC alum and NBA legend...)

Mike Lombardi is his GM. Carolina is on the verge of really changing things.

I think it’s awesome. Whether he succeeds or fails it’s gonna be must-watch-stuff.

Your thoughts are shared by many Carolina fans; I’m not saying you’re wrong, just that a lot of us think differently. I’ve always dreamed of us being a legitimate football school as well. The times have changed and this is our chance to show we will compete and be one of those top schools.

A lot of ignorance in this thread. If Belichick can get the NIL money (currently UNC’s NIL budget for football is around 5M, it needs to be 5x that) there is no reason to think he can’t immediately make the Heels a perennial playoff contender. Kids will flock to be coached by one of the greatest and play at a beautiful university to boot. I don’t know whether the deal gets done but as an alum I’m behind it 100%.

I know these guys all want to be head coaches, but walking into that New Orleans situation just seems like a recipe for disaster. Horrible cap, no QB, and aging players. That said, there’s always somebody out there who thinks he has the answers.

You sound like one of UNC's "blue blood" trustees who think "we're better than that." UNC is an NCAA powerhouse in many sports...they are indeed on the level of the best athletic schools in the country. They need to commit to bringing the football program to where it can and should be, because football dwarfs everything else now.

The problem for the rest of the AFCE, as has been noted elsewhere, is that THIS was supposed to be the year for them to “catch” the Bills, and all three teams failed miserably. Next year I see the Fish still finishing 2nd, and it’s possible the Pats*** overtake the Jests for 3rd. As long as Beane/McD/Allen are in Orchard Park the Bills will be the class of the division.

The Bills have thankfully seemed to settle in on the blue-over-white and white-over-blue combo for this season. I think those are the only combos they’ve worn during this 7-game winning streak, no?

Correct. I don't think the play in question is a problem.

He's not awful; he's just not a difference maker. He plays soundly within the system and for the most part does what he is supposed to do. I equate Hamlin's play to that of Mark Kelso during the early 90s. He does a serviceable job but he doesn't impact the game. If Micah Hyde is healthy and in shape, he impacts the game.

Does anyone think there is one person in the Bills' locker room (Hamlin included) who would question Micah being inserted into the starting lineup if he shows he is in football shape? I don't. There is nothing but upside to this move.

And there it is. Signed to the PS!

I truly believe that some guys have their heels dug in so deeply that even a Super Bowl win wouldn't be genuinely satisfying to them because they'd struggle to find some "excuse" for why the Bills won despite their inept HC.

The Schnowman is a treasure…and don’t tell me these guys don’t (or shouldn’t) care about and appreciate division titles. Fans are dumb with their “only the playoffs matter” takes.

Based upon the tone of so many posts on this board? No, I don’t think some are.

You didn’t answer my question. How did that hurt the Bills? The Indy game was a 17-point lead until the final seconds. The Jets game was only close because of a busted Hail Mary at the end of the first half. Miami played their best game of the season and still couldn’t beat us. Would the Bills like to stuff every running play at the line? Of course. But their philosophy and scheme is to limit big plays, and those typically come in the passing game. They have made a conscious decision to rely upon their front four and LBs to “control” the run game while they focus on shutting down big plays in the passing game. It seems to have served them well. We all know that playoff results will be the the proof in the pudding.
