Exactly what about Bernard being stepped on by a lineman has anything to do with his size?

The RB room gonna eat in this one, boys.

When I think about the Bills a huge smile comes to my face because Josh Allen is only just now starting the prime of his career. Lost a step? Ha.

Well, we will always remember that game in which he…umm… Never mind.

Well first of all, my comment was tongue in cheek. But it is true that Bernard is one of our best defenders and Carter has really been coming on strong. I’m not “worried” about Seattle but they do throw the ball around a lot. I feel confident our offense will score in the mid-20s or better against that defense.

Blue over blue is bearable, even if it is my 4th favorite kit (blue/white, white/blue, white/white). The reds should never see the light of day again.

Gonna have to win a shootout, it seems...

Not even close. Brees was a rising star in SD and then had the injury.

Right? Like his size had anything to do with that OL stepping on his leg.

You're kidding, right? Have you been in the 300s at the current stadium lately? Some people will say absolutely anything to criticize this new building.

And just for good measure, he's a criminal too!

Keon is so slow it takes him two hours to watch 60 Minutes.

Geno has been playing like a top 10 NFL QB for a couple of years now. Good thing the Bills' pass D is their strength. In this game, however, the Bills could wind up with 200 yards rushing. The Hawks' run D is that bad.

Yeah, I’m not criticizing the move or saying Hopkins is washed. I just don’t think it does all that much, although it arguably makes an already strong team a little bit stronger.

Splash move that will have the media and fans going bonkers but probably doesn’t actually move the needle that much. He’s not the player he was but will command some attention from defenses and may open things up for Worthy. I saw a funny tweet: The Chiefs went from being a team that will probably win the Super Bowl to a team that will probably win the Super Bowl.

It’s not intentional. It’s human nature. And yes, the Pats*** frequently sleepwalked through the early regular season.

For me, this is it. It’s a long season and the Bills want to be peaking in January, not October. The slow starts are maddening to us as fans but at least we know the team has another gear.

The show's peak was Kay Adams/Kyle Brandt/Peter Schrager/Nate Burleson. It's something to have on in the background as I start my workday...but if it went away tomorrow I don't think I'd really notice.

You think the Bills' OL is just "average?" Anybody have the latest rankings?

Yeah…I mean, to say investing heavily in the DL is “outdated” doesn’t really make sense to me. As long as they are playing tackle football games will be won and lost in the trenches. We all want speedsters at WR and CB. I’d venture to say Beane is no different. How’s Miami doing right now with all of their speed when they can’t keep their QB upright? As far as “overinvesting” in RBs…have we? Beane’s strategy actually seems to be pretty smart. He’s used a 2nd and a couple of 3rds on RBs but we aren’t paying any 2nd contracts so those players are very affordable…and right now the Bills have a fantastic RB room that is making a difference on the field. Anyway…I know everyone has his/her own opinion and there are a group of fans on this board who disagree with just about everything McD and Beane do…but damn, this is an elite franchise that has just been very unlucky in the playoffs. It’s not as if we are lagging behind the league.

Serious question: precisely what roster-building philosophy that has been proven to be outdated is Beane still pushing?

Savage take. You sound fun.

The Seahawks are 4-3 and leading their division so they will certainly draw the Bills’ attention. But thinking they are a team to be “feared” is BBFS at its finest. They squeaked by Bo Nix in his first start, beat the hapless Pats on a late FG, and defeated Miami in their first game without Tua. They then LOST to the Giants (who are perhaps the 2nd worst team in football). SF abused them, and the Lions beat them by double digits. So they won in Atlanta yesterday? Good for them. Atlanta is another overrated team. The Bills do one thing better than anyone in the league since 2020. They win the games they are supposed to win, and they usually do it comfortably. No games in the NFL are “easy” and you can say all you want about McDermott, but his teams rarely lose when they’re not supposed to.

Wow. Some of you really hate optimism. Well done to go back 12 years because I'm in your head so much!

Several of us thought the Miami hype was b.s. before the season started. Their defense got worse. Yes, losing their QB hurt, but they still aren't the best team in the division.
