Oh, I get it…but McNerd doesn’t care.

Skip is now 71. He's an old guy hanging on in a young man's world. He actually made his bones as a legitimate investigative sports reporter, winning many awards. His ship lost its rudder when he went full-time TV in the early 2000s. Now he's simply a "hot take for clicks" guy. Anyone who watches him for anything substantive is an idiot.

Anybody thinking Tua isn't going to start for the Fish on Sunday is fooling himself. And I say bring it on.

FIFY

Squish. The. Fish. That is all. Go Bills!!! 17 and 3, BABYYYYYY!!!

Yes, he is now on IR. No idea what the restrictions are (if any) on moving someone from IR to the active roster or PS during the playoffs.

I mean, it's working great that way in Houston, amirite?

Me too. I have a ticket in Buffalo, but I’ll go wherever it is…hoping somewhere like Atlanta.

Can’t make it to this one, brother…but if the Bills can take care of business I’ll be there the following week.

Is 5 points for a defenseman any good? Asking for a friend…

I’d really like to see Detroit or Seattle make it in over Green Bay. Both of those teams had no expectations whatsoever (to the outside world) going into this season, and both have been feel-good stories this year. Unfortunately, if Seattle wins early in the day Detroit will have “nothing” to play for (besides keeping GB out). Still, I don’t think Campbell will let them play flat. Should be a fun afternoon.

So, a lot has happened since I started this thread on Tuesday evening…and most of it extremely positive. Certainly the good news about Damar’s continuing recovery was a crucial piece to the Bills even beginning to think about the rest of the season and playoffs. My expectations are still tempered, though…now primarily because of the mounting defensive injuries. It seemed as though they might be able to overcome losing Miller, but now the secondary — once considered a strength — is looking more like a liability, particularly going up against high-powered passing offenses like Cinci and KC (and possibly even Miami). I think the Bills should get past NE***, and I’m not particularly worried about playing Baltimore or Jacksonville in Orchard Park, but in order to beat the “big boys” they’re probably going to have to win shootouts. I love having Josh in our corner, but it all may just be too much to ask. Let’s go and get this win today to claim the #2, and then see what happens. To me, it’s all gravy from here in this unprecedented season of turmoil. Go Bills!

I’m not a huge fan of what the NFL did with regard to playoff seeding in light of the Bills-Bengals cancellation, but two things happening could make it all “ok” — a Raiders win and a Bills win. Let’s get the first half of that this afternoon. Go Raidahs!!!

Oh, those poor Houston and Indy markets in the 1 pm slot...lol.

I'd expect no less from the likes of you...

Might be enough against McCorkle. Won't be good enough in the playoffs.

The power of medical science and learned and knowledgable first responders is pretty awesome too.

Amazing news. You know the team needed this so badly...

There are several times per game my mouth probably drops open in amazement at his stick-handling in tight quarters.

His last few games UPL has been making the kind of saves this team has lacked since Ryan Miller left. If he has turned the corner and continues to gain confidence this season may turn out better than anyone expected.

Tage is a legit star. Unreal. And UPL starting to look like the real deal also.

Thank you. Just talking from my heart. I feel for these guys.

I love what you guys are saying and I’m not by any means saying or predicting the Bills will pack it in. I’m simply saying that with all they’ve been through I am at peace with the season without further expectations.

There’s another thread that lists out what the community of Buffalo and the Bills have dealt with over the past year…it’s almost unbelievable the amount of tragedy, turmoil, and just plain bad luck that has befallen WNY and our favorite team — and none of it self-inflicted. The Bills have to feel mentally exhausted. They’ve had to overcome so much, and now this. I’m happy with their 3rd consecutive AFC East title and big wins in big moments. Josh is “the guy” and will be for years to come, but the defense has been decimated by key injuries all season and when combined with the mental fatigue and trauma, I think it is just too much to overcome going forward. I am proud of the team, the coaches, the fans, the community…proud to call myself a Buffalonian. Go Bills.

Sick to my stomach. Hurting for Damar, his family, and his Bills brotherhood. Please be ok.
