LOL Houston.

I don’t know. With a healthy Cooper and Coleman, and perhaps the return of Milano, this looks like a contender to me. They’re putting up 30 a game as it is.

That's just embarrassing.

The first page of this thread is why I (occasionally) love this place.

I still think I’m happy with the Bungles’ loss, although the Ravens look awfully tough (on offense). If the Bills and Ravens meet in the playoffs I hope we are ready to throw the ball all over the field, because it’s going to be a shootout.

Saints are/were due for a rebuild anyway and the fans know it, so that one will be "easier" to stomach. Browns have the worst situation by far, and really no light at the end of the tunnel. Factory of sadness indeed -- but their crook of an owner deserves it.

The day after Tua's concussion against the Bills I thought he was very rational and made intelligent comments. He basically said that we all want Tua to retire but the reality of the money involved means there is no way Tua would not return.

Live look-in at that process...

Serious question. The knee-jerk response is probably "Cinci" but I think I'd prefer to see the Bungles dead and buried. Burrow and their offense worries me more in the playoffs than the Ravens (W4 result notwithstanding). Thoughts?

That GW FG was as pure a kick as you will ever see. Good lord, it was straight down the middle and would have been good from 70. If that doesn't give Bass his mojo back nothing will.

It all depends upon whether he's doing his "schtick" or not. When he is calm, he presents many rational thoughts. I just don't listen to any of these shows because they are all competing for air time so they're all obnoxious.

Exactly.

The Jests and Fish are clearly in trouble. The odds of either making a run to the playoffs this season are incredibly slim. While the Fish probably get a bit more of a “pass” with the Tua injury, the Jests are an abject failure on so many levels. Rodgers isn’t Rodgers any more, and they can’t seriously go into next season thinking he has “one more run” in him. They have to start fresh at QB, and in the meantime they have wasted several prime years of what should be an elite defense. They fired their coach because the owner is impatient and a meddler. They have a lot of very good players but are rudderless. Miami is still not good enough on defense, and they have the ever-present specter of another Tua head injury. Tyreek isn’t getting any younger. I think they are what they are…a team that goes anywhere from 7-10 to 10-7. McDaniel is a weirdo but has shown me enough to believe he is a decent head coach, however the Fish also have a meddling owner so who knows what happens? I might agree that the Pats*** are in the best position to rise up to #2. It all depends on Maye. He has certainly shown flashes in his rookie year but I wonder if he will hold up physically. He is running a lot and doesn’t have the physique of a typical running QB. They still just have a lot of holes to fill. With the way the Bills’ cap shakes out next season Beane will be able to get creative and add pieces. Josh is only just beginning the prime years of his career. Unless something crazy happens I think the next three seasons (at least) are the Bills’ to lose.

I agree with a lot of this, and I don’t want anyone to take my comments as an indication that I am “confident” about the Bills’ ability to stop good teams in the playoffs — but aside from the KC AFCCG in ‘20 and the Cinci home playoff game a couple of years ago they’ve been around at the end with a chance to win every other playoff game. As a fan, how can I be upset about that? And I will continue to say that “luck” is a terribly under-appreciated component of playoff games as well.

I never thought Poyer was a dirty player but I’ve seen him take two reckless, unnecessary shots against Bills this year — Shakir and Coleman. Truth be told, I just think he’s playing with a little more “juice” against the Bills and therefore crossed the line.

Into self torture?

Baltimore must think it’s still Halloween because they just traded for the ghost of Tre White.

I think you're missing the point.

I see what you did there. What was so comical was that Trent Green was already calling it against Moestert!!

Seriously. I don’t think Miami can play any better and they still lost to the Bills. The ultra-conservative game plan on D was intentional. And it basically worked, since the Bills didn’t trail after halftime. It’s a shame the Bills don’t have the ‘85 Bears D. The unit is dealing with injuries, youth, and yesterday, a very good Miami game plan. You don’t win them all by 20 points, and most of us knew Miami would treat this as a do-or-die game for their season. Now, if the Colts’ offense is successful next week I might have a different take…

Allen had a very good game. The INT was obviously not on him, and when he missed throws he missed them in safe spots. He led the Bills to scores on five consecutive drives to end the game!!!

I’m going to disagree with @GunnerBill here and say that based upon what I’ve been watching I think Davis does demonstrate excellent vision as a runner.

Just spitballing here but I think the underthrows are somewhat intentional. If the QB tries to put extra on it there is the chance for an overthrow and INT. If the throw is intentionally low or “short” the only guy who’s going to catch it is your guy. Thoughts?

What??? Clearly a dirty play, and DPI could have been called as well!!! That’s not being “bailed out” because Josh put a perfect ball out there and Poyer had to cheat to break it up.
