I dunno, I don't really have a problem with anything Baker said, but he probably needs to just control himself. It was a dumb question by the reporter.

Definitely not necessary, but (at least to me) much welcomed. I think McD is getting a little salty and I'm hoping that's a good thing.

Yep, another insightful read! Thanks Dog.

Funny reading how people criticize Joe B's unbiased evaluation in order to fit their own narrative about Star. Joe B admitted in the article he was prepared to see a lousy Star, but the film showed otherwise. It's a shame folks can't be open-minded and understand that they aren't always right. There was a problem defending the run on Sunday, but apparently it wasn't Star. Milano wasn't good, Tremaine wasn't good, and the rotation on the D line wasn't working. The nice thing is that the Bills have good coaches and smart players who will work to fix the issues. If every team was only judged by its worst defeat what would we think about Baltimore (blown out at home by Cleveland) or Dallas (dominated by the 1-6 Jets)? If the Bills can put together a 3-game winning streak right now vs. Washington, Cleveland, and Miami, showing improvement on the run D along the way, all will be forgotten. The much bigger issue, IMO, is finding a way to maximize Singletary and get the deep passing game in gear.

I trust Beane more than I trust McDermott. If Beane is waiting until next year so am I.

Right. And can we please get off the “desperate Eagles” refrain? It’s silly.

I'm sorry for picking on you, but this simply sounds ridiculous to me. They need to score more points than their opponents. Period. What makes you or anyone else "feel better" is all psychological and has nothing to do with whether or not the Bills are a good team.

Latest forecast has chance of rain dropping under 50% but winds at 22 mph...the passing and kicking games are going to be fun. I'm going to say the Bills rush for 175 yards...80 for Gore, 60 for Singletary, and 35 for Josh -- with each scoring a TD.

Your too kind.

Got my advance tickets to see it Friday night the 20th.

I love the "we don't want to lose two in a row" mentality. Nice they get a couple of days off before coming home to face the Coyotes. Then, a showdown at Washington later in the week.

I think Milano is such a significantly underrated part of this defense. Really hope he can go because Mo Alexander was a liability out there last week, and I don't think Corey Thompson is ready to return yet either.

I like 11-4 -- the regular season W/L record since Peterman was traded and including Barkley's start vs. the Jets. I bet most NFL observers don't know that.

Josh is most certainly on an upward trajectory...by almost any measure his last two starts have been his best. If he dials in the long ball, look out.

Weather Underground is my go-to, and in Orchard Park they forecast a 50-60% chance of light rain/showers throughout the game with 18-20 mph winds.

And lest we forget, Allen was playing much better in the 2nd half against the Pats*** before the concussion.

The Philly writers are trying to talk themselves into believing the Iggles are still the 2017 version.

Only two out of five Buffalo News staffers picked the Bills on Sunday, and the explanations from those who picked Philly are pathetic.

As of right now you're looking at 18-20 mph winds and about an 80% chance of showers during gametime. Fun stuff.

Gore and Hughes DNP?

Yes, obviously, anyone would be a fool to expect the Sabres to continue to win 80% of their games; that's not what I meant (and I'm sure you knew that). I am hopeful that the energy, enthusiasm, and effort are not a flash in the pan. The team has turned a complete 180 from last year's squad.

It sure is all sunshine and roses right now...really hope we're not just enjoying fool's gold and this change is going to stick. At this point Krueger appears to have been the right guy at the right time for the right team.

From elves to smurfs.

And their play on the field backs that up, regardless of who their opponents have been. I'm really excited about watching Josh this game. In back to back weeks vs. Tennessee and Miami I think he has made significant strides towards being the QB we want him to be. I feel like he is ready to bust out and dominate a game any week now.
