The Colts are a good, solid football team with excellent coaching. Anyone who thinks the Bills will "roll" them is just feeling a little too high & mighty right now. If the Bills DO wind up winning a laugher I can't imagine what this board is going to look like next week (but I'd like to see it).

There were a LOT of people on this board claiming that McD would never learn, "didn't understand offense", and wanted to win games 17-13. Turns out he just needed an offense and QB he could trust.

Guys, this is pretty standard stuff. Players are always looking for ways to motivate themselves.

Yes, seriously. Saying Josh Allen still has to "prove it" that he will stay "hungry and humble" is a ridiculous statement IMO. We may agree to disagree and that's fine. Go Bills.

I'll be shocked if Beas is out there Saturday. They're taking it slow with him for the next round. McKenzie's audition was last Sunday and he passed with flying colors.

And this is what I've surmised previously when discussing Darnold. Good guy, really good QB skills, but doesn't have the internal drive to be great that Josh has in spades. Makes all the difference at this level.

Oh, enough with the "prove it" crap -- there is literally NOTHING that suggests Josh Allen wants anything other than to win and keep winning.

Ignorance is bliss.

It is literally amazing to read that -- and know it's true.

It struck me recently that teams facing the Bills have a pretty huge dilemma. Since their bye week the Bills have had the best offense in the league, a top ten defense, and top five special teams unit. A -- what's your plan to come into Orchard Park and walk out with a W? B -- even if the team executes your plan, do you still need something "crazy" to happen? Discuss.

I posted the other day that my heart was bursting out of my chest over this team. This letter is one of the most awesome things Bills-related I’ve ever read. Win or lose this may be my favorite Bills team ever.

But then another guy said “Josh Allen and Andrew Luck are the same person. Unfortunately only one of them is playing Saturday.” That one cracked me up.

In August this was a prototypical post from a lot of fans who claim to be “realists.” I love it when obsessive pessimists who fool themselves into believing they’re analytical are proven wrong. Believe the hype. These Bills are due.

Well McKenzie’s performance on Sunday sure gave me a bit of relief if Beas isn’t ready this week. And we got Smoke back. Let Beas mend for the AFCC and SB.

They were also the #1 3rd down defense if I recall correctly. Bottom line: the Bills are on absolute fire and we need four more games of this.

It’s all good. Unless you’re a Bills fan (or have to listen to one all the time) you likely viewed Allen as a mediocre QB prior to this season. Only those who really watched the Bills saw the growth and potential, and even some of those people didn’t think he’d get much better. I’ve posted about how rare Josh is, and how necessary it was to look beyond the stats, so many times I’ve forgotten, but I don’t hold grudges against non-Bills fans who didn’t see it. Even in his rookie season look how Josh elevated those around him. Foster is an afterthought in this league now but Josh had us believing he might be a WR1! Anyway, like I said, it’s all good. I mean, prior to the first game this season the favorite comment on the Jets’ board was about the RB the Bills had playing QB. They’re quiet now.

I actually like this. A lot.

Ahh, you got me. Ok, the Bills are the only team with all three in the top SIX.

LOL! Still riding that ALynn pony. He went to a franchise LOADED on both sides of the ball, then got his a$$ handed to him in the playoffs by Belichick in one of the worst showings I’ve ever seen. His special teams and game management have been among the worst in the league. I know you still think the 2016 Bills were “on the cusp” and Lynn would have been the perfect choice but it’s time to own up to a horribly bad take. If ALynn gets another HC job I’ll be very surprised.

You certainly didn’t see me bemoaning those losses in the offseason.

Only team with all three units (O, D, ST) in the top ten. Most complete team in the NFL.

This aged well.

The number of penalties as a whole doesn’t tell us much. How many are pre-snap (i.e., undisciplined/unprepared) vs. post-snap? How many undisciplined personal fouls?

Hate that Beasley is hurt but we really can’t ask for better health at this point of the season.

@BADOLBILZ still wishing the Bills kept ALynn and Gillislie? You’ve been more wrong about this franchise than any of us despite your vast football knowledge. It’s actually entertaining watching you trying to spin your takes and insult me. P.S. @GunnerBill puts you to shame on the knowledge front.
