Yeah, the Chargers are dealing with injuries but have proven to be dangerous...their problem is they still haven't even played the Chefs. The Brownies have talent but a hillbilly HC and regressing QB. The Titans are toast -- they'll still beat some teams up defensively but the two-headed Mariota/Tannehill QB monster is embarrassing. The Jags are saddled with Saint Doug. If Buffalo can't legitimately push the Pats*** for the East they seem almost destined for that #5 slot.

Mods, please feel free to close this one down. The Jets proved me wrong -- barely. I see them winning five or six now. Not enough to get into the playoff race but they will be competitive in most games, I think, unless Sam keeps getting teenage diseases.

I am NOT throwing shade on Mahomes so please don't interpret this post in that way. Yesterday was the first full game I watched of his in a while, and while he is clearly talented he was lucky on the first TD to Hill. The Texans' DB was in perfect position to intercept or bat it down. Now if you give Mahomes credit for taking a shot knowing he had a "free play" I agree, but it was still lucky (as opposed to being a brilliant throw). Also, I see him throwing off balance, sidearm, or off the wrong foot way too often. I expected to see a QB throwing darts right on his receivers' hands but that's not what happened. His mechanics are not sound. Mahomes has the benefit of really outstanding skill and speed at the WR and TE positions, and I can't help but wonder what other QBs' performances would look like in those situations.

No. Such. Thing.

...after looking at what happened around the AFC yesterday. The Bills increased their lead in the AFC wild card race over the Browns, Jags, Chargers, and Titans -- they are now three games up in the loss column over all four. The Colts and Raiders are only a game back but I'm still not "buying" the Raiders as a winning team, and we'll see what they look like the next two weeks @GB and @Houston. The Colts are talented and well coached, and have a big game hosting Houston next week. I realize Brissett has arguably better numbers than Josh Allen but for some reason I'm still not sold on the former as a guy who will lead a team to the playoffs. I certainly could be wrong. In any event, the standings certainly shifted in the Bills' favor with yesterday's results. And no, I'm not giving up on winning the East, either. The Pats*** do not look invincible -- at all.

Yeah, schitt happens. Glad they shot their wad today against a very overrated Cowpoke squad.

I won’t be surprised if Miami beats Washington this week.

Fug it, why not win the division?

I think it would be kind of strange for Larry Fitzgerald to stay in Cincinnati.

Well, my wife and I were fans of TWD and FTWD -- watched them both religiously -- but we haven't watched TWD since the first couple of episodes post-Rick, and we haven't watched FTWD since that weird crazy lady who left boxes for people. Don't miss either one. Totally jumped the shark.

No, the ridiculous comment is complaining about a player's contract when said contract isn't preventing the team from doing anything it wants to do -- and the player is contributing.

Star's contract isn't preventing the Bills from doing anything they want to do, roster wise. He's contributing and he's not causing problems. Stop worrying about his salary as if you're paying it. I just don't understand all of the complaining. All I've heard is how the Bills have no Stars. That's simply not true.

I don't think this signing bears any relevance whatsoever to Singletary's health. Perry isn't being signed to carry the rock. Motor will be back in the lineup on October 20.

If that's true I think there's more to it than just his play (i.e., mental).

Good, I never watch FOX anyway. Gronk is a moron and will be awful at that job.

I really hope the Bills aren't the reason Darnold has missed time...

Yeah, very weird. Only 2-3 years ago it seemed like nearly every FG attempt under 55 yards was automatic.

Yes, by default, since they only have a one game lead over Buffalo at this point with 11 games left to play. Past performance means nothing in 2019 and the division is still up for grabs. The divisional race should be called as it is, not by "assuming" the Bills won't continue to play well and stay in contention.

If Allen put up numbers in a game like Baker did last night this board would be on fire...

Just saw where Morse's injury was deemed by McD to be "not very serious" so I think he'll be fine and back in the lineup in two weeks. Ford and Murphy are in "the protocol." Milano's the guy for whom there has been no real update.

You must be pissed a lot. Draft picks are a crap shoot -- even first rounders. McD/Beane have done an excellent job of drafting since arriving in Buffalo. No team hits on all picks. Zay Jones isn't "awful" -- he just didn't develop into the reliable option they envisioned. Getting a 5th back after two and a half seasons isn't terrible.

I've read on this very forum that the Pegulas should have kept ALynn after firing Rex because he is a much better HC than McD.

Umm, Russell Wilson is elite. It's a crime he isn't mentioned right along with Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Big Ben, etc., when folks are talking about the best QBs in the game. If Russell continues to play at this level he's a first ballot HOFer.

They’re getting some “chatter” but even that is largely ill informed. Brady Quinn cited their record today but called them a team with “no depth” and then he and his partner Bruce Murray said they aren’t legit because there is “nobody to fear” on offense. When they talk about the defense they say things like “if it can hold up” which shows they have no idea what is going on. On the same channel Pat Kirwan did say “the Bills are for real” but even he dismisses any hope of winning the East, giving it to the Pats*** by default. It doesn’t bother me like it bothers some, but it is certainly true that if the Giants or Jets had the same situation they’d be the talk of the league.

Woof. What a stinker.
