I’ve been pondering this for days...Buffalo is as healthy as we’ve been all year, SF missing their QB and all-world TE...I really don’t understand why this line keeps moving towards SF. It’s very strange. I think the Bills will hold SF to under 17 points tonight, which points to a 10+ point victory margin. That was too many points in one sentence.

He knows football but is basically intolerable. I think the problem is that he goes overboard praising the superstars. Tonight was a great example: Mahomes flat-out missed Kelce and even pointed at himself after the play, yet Collinsworth said Kelce ran the wrong route as if it was a fact. That crap gets old.

I don’t say this kind of thing often but Drew Lock is trash. Completely unimpressed.

Someone's delusional, alright.

I just freaking love that we have a QB who other DCs call “a problem.”

Was just about to post something similar. Josh’s situation his rookie year was gawd-awful. Like, ridiculously bad. Sometimes the player just has to want it and have the mentality to work at it. Even in that awfulness of 2018 Josh showed plenty of signs of the “it” factor. A lot of you simply failed to see it and are now playing the revisionist history game.

Gase is the definition of “dead man walking” in the NFL right now. Seriously — there is literally nothing he can do to escape this sentence. Just a horrible hire of a man not equipped to lead an NFL franchise. I’d say “I told you so” but that’s not my style. I’ll give the man some credit, however, for admitting that he (and his staff) have failed Sam Darnold. I don’t think his comment is an attempt to throw shade at Sam...for the first time I can recall he actually sounds self-reflective and is not placing blame on anyone else. If Adam Gase has a place in the NFL after he is fired it’s in a very specific, narrow role that does not require him to exercise non-existent leadership qualities.

My takeaway from last week: the D continues to improve and the offense is now good enough that even an “off” week is 27 pts. There are lots of things in the world to worry about but the state of the Bills is not one of them.

A lot of you people like to worry a lot.

“bro”

Glanville, right?

But are you depressed?

I didn’t watch the entire game but I did see the end and had to do a double-take when Romo said he expected to see those two teams back in Tampa for the SB. I mean, do we really think KC will make it back?

No John Harbaugh? Come on man, putting Vrabel and Shanahan on that list right now is sort of silly. I didn’t read through this whole thread but in general the level of “concern” about McD is ridiculous. Now 35-26 in the regular season and has started beating winning teams as well. Yeah, yeah, he needs to do it in the playoffs but Bills fans are some of the silliest around. Better yet, McD is the first person to admit he needs to continue to evolve. I’ve taken a back seat and stayed out of this forum for the past couple of weeks and I’ll tell you, my level of enjoyment in watching the team has grown. Last Sunday was a perfect stage for an upset. What did the Bills do? They shut down Herbert’s deep passing game, were more than competent against the run, and pretty much controlled the entire game but for a 7-play totally weird stretch in the 4th quarter. They are one play from 9-2, they control their own destiny, and it looks like the D is coming back into form. When we stop worrying about winning and start worrying about margin of victory we’ve lost our way.

I’m IN

He was 18 yards and one TD away from breaking both records.

I just realized...the UB Bulls are at home against the Kent State Golden Flashes, and the Bills host the Chargers tomorrow. UB is running all over them. Hmm...

It does? Why? He'll be back for next season and has two years left on his rookie contract.

Yep, and Cody Ford out for the season. Morse starting at C Sunday.

Nah...common QB-speak. DCs often speak of wanting to make a QB see ghosts. Darnold just happened to be unlucky enough to be caught saying it on air.

Too bad the Bolts are wearing monochrome navy blue this weekend. Great opportunity missed for a classic AFL matchup. They had white face masks last Thanksgiving to go along with their Smurf outfits against the Cowboys.

This year in particular I’m so thankful for the Bills and NFL football. Hope everyone has a SAFE and SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE Thanksgiving. We really are all in this together.

Certainly the subject of one of the funnier SoortsCenter commercials... Hate to see this happen to anyone but I have to think he’ll be ok.

Doesn’t matter, according to Kurt Warner he’s a hack who only has good stats because of easy throws. Doomed.

Biggest news on this report is Smoke still not practicing. That’s big. Norman’s last “injury” was COVID, hence that designation. This has, thus far, been a lost year for Dawson’s Creek.
