Overboard on the "Cheetah" and "Penguin" crap, and they both completely missed the boat on Motor going down rather than scoring...but otherwise, not terrible.

I was encouraged by Tre's play on Saturday night as well. He is not yet back to his pre-injury form but for the first time I sensed he is close.

Exactly. Josh is a key component of the Bills' run game. Film at 11.

I think Tua is a really good dude. My only complaint relates to those who want to anoint him a star simply because of his college career. He's a very good QB but I don't think he is "elite" with a "normal" cast of offensive talent around him. Having Hill and Waddle has been the best thing that could have ever happened for him.

Steve Young has said a lot of stupid things as a studio announcer. You don't have to believe me...just research it. There are no statistics to back up the notion that good teams lose more often to bad teams the week before a "big" game.

It appears you do not know how to properly quote posts. That was not me.

LOL here we go again. There is no such thing as a “trap game” in the NFL, no matter how many times fans bring it up. Good teams beat bad teams at the same frequency, whether it is before a “hugely important” game or not. In addition, this game is to clinch the AFCE. The Bears will play hard, just as they did yesterday against Philly, but this matchup is particularly bad for Chicago since the Bills don’t typically allow a running QB to beat them — and the Bears have no receivers. Looking forward to an enjoyable Christmas Eve afternoon with the family watching this one.

100% the right call. Chip shot FG with one of the best kickers in the league. Motor would have scored with 35 seconds left, which is too much time when Hill and Waddle are on the other side.

My post-mortem: Full disclosure: I was livid during the 3rd quarter last night. I turned off my phone and went into my bedroom to watch the rest of the game in solitude. The win was a feeling of immense relief. Now, looking back, I have these thoughts. First - Josh is the best player in the league. Period. Second - we miss Hyde in a huge way. Hamlin is a gamer but misses far too many tackles. Third - the Bills dominated the 4th quarter. That tells me more about the makeup of the team than the pathetic display in the 3rd. Fourth - it is indeed possible for other teams to have talent and play well, and that doesn’t mean the Bills aren’t prepared or are poorly coached. Fifth - the last drive of the game was championship-caliber football, including Motor’s awareness to get down so the Bills would win on the last play of the game (hint: coaching). Have a great Sunday, guys. The icing on the cake would be a Houston miracle against KC. Let’s Go, Buffalo! 17 and 3, BABY!!!!!!

Do these fans throw projectiles at players that could cause serious injury? I don’t understand how this topic (throwing snowballs at players) is even debatable. At best it’s careless and reckless, and at worst it’s assault and battery. If you think it’s ok to throw snowballs at defenseless/unsuspecting players and coaches from the stands I’m surprised you possess the brainpower necessary to operate the device upon which you typed a response.

Gotta hope this is a “mild” version and Mitch makes a quick and full recovery. Chances of advancing far in the playoffs go down considerably if he is done for the season. On another note, I expect Boettger to be activated off IR today. Not that he is all-world or anything, but it would allow Bates to play C if Morse is out for any significant time.

Until it costs the team. Now, would the refs have called something? I don’t know. My feeling is that if folks are having fun with the snow and throwing it straight up in the air or into an open space it’s all in good fun. Throwing snowballs at players? Not cool. At all. These guys are defenseless — have you ever been pelted in the face by a snow/ice projectile?

I think you’re a week ahead of yourself. Next week is at Chicago…then at Cinci.

Oh I assume it will be an add-on cost…I just like the platforms and already use them so it will be an easy transition. I already dumped DTV a year ago and am on the “college” ST subscription this year.

As a YouTube TV and Amazon Prime subscriber, this is nothing but good news for me.

Today is going to be a great day. Weather looks good down here in NC so I can finish my outside Xmas lights. Full day of football capped off by the Bills slapping around a bunch of frozen Fish. Let’s go, Buffalo! 17 and 3, BABY!!!!!!!!

Old Man Winter.

Wow. I go to the Gate every time I’m back, specifically for the wings. Never had the soup though…may give that a try because I’m a big fan of FOS.

Either you're bored with nothing else to do, or you're an idiot. No NFL football game has ever been moved from Buffalo because of a forecast of a foot of snow. Case in point: the infamous snow game vs. the Colts came years after the Bills/Jets game was moved due to the 7-foot snow event.

These are two pretty ridiculous posts. This is "normal" Buffalo weather, not "thunder snow" with accumulations of 6+ feet. There is no "precedent" set.

LOL -- Miami is wearing all-whites and it will be snowing. Morons.

I remember the ridicule and eyerolls I got about two months ago when I said SF might be the best or 2nd best team in the NFC.

Hell of a win to get back to .500. Damn that 8-game losing streak. If they had just gone 4-4 they’d be the top WC right now. As it stands they are still only 5 pts out of a playoff spot through 31 games…not terrible. Anybody have details on Power? Would hate to lose him for any significant time.

I think it is known that Kim Pegula likes the reds when there is a chance of snow for that reason…

The 1st and most of the 2nd were an older, bigger team clogging things up and not letting Buffalo skate. The PPs changed everything in the 3rd and Anderson kept them in it until then. Fun game and amazing period.
