Strictly football speaking, the two guys I hate the most on gameday are Kelce and Mahomes, because they are cocky and great enough to regularly torture Bills fans with their play on the field. I completely respect their abilities as HOF players and they seem like cool enough dudes off the field, but damn, Kelce's smirk and dancing after a great play and Mahomes' silly looking "pony" trot just infuriate me when we play them. And I fully admit that if I were a Chiefs fan, I'm almost certain I'd feel the same way about Josh and Stefon.

I'm willing to give McKenzie a bit of a pass last game since he was just coming off a concussion, but I really don't see him as being anywhere near a top-10 slot receiver in today's NFL. It's a position that I think can be upgraded, and I think it will, once Shakir is ready to take on more responsibility.

I agree. Seems a little childlike, ESL or possibly on the spectrum. And I don't mean that as an insult. He seems like an innocent enough person. Just an observation.

I consider myself a good person, but not so good that I can't enjoy a little schadenfreude when it comes to the losers who frequent places like FinHell or Queefs Planet. I'd never join those boards, but I do enjoy checking them out for 10-15 minutes after we beat them.

Hey, Ice Bowl. We feel your pain, buddy. We had 17 years of knowing we were going to get our azzes kicked when facing a top team. It's no fun at all. I'm trying to find reasons to be worried, but can't really find any. The Bills have the best defense in the league and the GB offense is putrid, and now their best WR weapons are injured. I think they may have issues on the offensive line too, but maybe I'm confusing that with another team. Honestly, as long as the Bills come out focused and protect the ball, this game should be over by halftime. And with it being a nationally televised night game, we know we are going to see Josh's A+ game, which should scare the absolute piss out of GB fans. I'm sticking by my prediction of Bills 37, GB 3.

I'm usually not a "let's go out and sign and/or trade for the big names" kind of guy, but these two dudes actually make sense given roster needs. I'd love to add a good interior offensive lineman as well, but not sure how realistic that is. These two skill guys are actually available and presumably could be had for a reasonable price.

Who is "we" and when is this Super Bowl taking place?

Despite this dude being a malcontent and looking like a bust (from an attitude and professionalism perspective), this trade worries me. If he "gets it", this is going to be a great acquisition for KC. You can almost envision him making some game-changing play in our stadium in January. At the end of the day, I guess I'm still fearful of the Chiefs.

I think it's pretty similar actually, though I can't say that with complete certainty since I only visit Buffalo a couple of times/year, whereas I was living in Buffalo (and our family had season tix) during the great 80's/90's run (I'm 43). I think it's ultimately about the city itself and how it partially prides and defines itself by its connection to its professional football team. I mean, I still feel this way about the Bills and Buffalo and I've lived in Southern California for over 20 years. And I know many WNY transplants here that feel exactly the same.

I agree, Logic. At first I was a little underwhelmed by the drawings, but the more I think about it, this design seems to split the difference of the dome vs. open air crowd - in a good way. It should be infinitely more comfortable than the current stadium, while, first and foremost, maintaining a true outdoor football atmosphere. As much as I like the idea of the comfort of a dome, I've almost always come away from domed games feeling really negative about the whole in person watching experience. Domes just feel dark, sterile and lacking in energy.

I don't view either of these teams as any real threat to us in the division this year, so I'm not looking at it from the "create space in standings" perspective. I want the Jets to win to raise their fans expectations and to make next week a "big game" nationally, so there's more eyeballs on the Bills when we destroy the Jets at their place.

I'm confident, but without at least a little fear of losing to the other team (manufactured or otherwise), what fun is there in watching sports? It's a lot more fun to watch your team stampede over their foes if you haven't convinced yourself that it was an inevitability to begin with.

If the recovery timetable is a truly fluid situation (which it seems to be), then why make a promise that you may not be able to keep to appease a few whiny fans? Coach McDermott seems to be handling it perfectly.

Sucks for the kid, but at least ACL's aren't career enders. Here's to a full and speedy recovery.

Why? They are clearly taking the smart approach of slowly ramping him up to full speed. If getting him fully 100% healthy and in game shape means another 4 weeks on the inactive list, that's fine with me. We need him in January.

Lol, "best team". These guys are all chasing the Bills, thus, the moves you're seeing, and Rapoport knows it.

Bump...looks like Josh has finally converted one of his last haterz, Steven Ruiz. Wow, how his write up on Josh has changed from preseason. Fully acknowledges Josh's "God Mode" abilities. https://qbrankings.theringer.com/

What a friggin punk. Funny thing is that the first athlete that came to mind when watching this was former Duke cheap shot artist Greyson Allen. Got me thinking it might be a southern boy thing and then when I pulled up their profiles in Wiki, I see that both of them were born and raised in Jacksonville, FL. So, maybe it's just something in the water there.

Holy cow. Tough three years for the guy, but sounds like he's currently cancer free, so that's the silver lining I guess.

LOL. You think Beane and McDermott were "duped" by Knox, a guy who they've been able to watch closely everyday for three years? I'm pretty sure they knew exactly what they were getting and I'm guessing they have zero regrets paying a guy what will soon be mid-tier TE money to serve as a very good all-around TE on the best offense in the NFL.

I think those who disagree with you, myself included, would point to the overwhelming success of the passing game this year. Knox is a part of that. He's a legitimate weapon who teams have to account for which helps open up the entire field for all of our other playmakers as well. Do you really think you could put a Tommy Sweeney in there with zero dropoff? I agree with you that the production hasn't been there yet this season, but I view that as more of a usage issue than anything performance based. But we've already seen Knox's importance and reliability with his huge grabs against KC and Baltimore that helped us win those games. I suspect we will see a bump in production in the near future. If not, and he continues on this current pace and posts 320 receiving yards, then you can come back in here and take a victory lap.

And we still have to remember that he was a low floor/high ceiling project who has improved each and every year (book is still out on this season as there's 11 games to play)? We aren't just paying for what he was in his first three seasons, but who he can (and I believe will) become in the next 4-5.

Like, what's the deal with a rich NFL player driving around in a car with no plates with uzi's? Is it just a fool playing "gangsta" with their friends? I'd say it was just an act and a way to feel cool and keep it real, but Clark has multiple arrests in his past (felony home invasion and beating his girlfriend). I'm guessing it's not just poor judgement, but that he's actually a "bad guy."

RIP, Coach.

Don't forget the Pulitzer for re-writing the NFL record books.
