What are you going on about? Bernard plays a different position than Milano. Milano is going to be on a strict snap count, he’s going to get a few plays here and there. The field will be perfectly fine, he’s over a year out of a fracture with no ligament injury. You are just making stuff up to worry about.

Hahaha Tucker just shanked another close kick

I’m not a Lamar guy but he’s definitely upped his game this season. I’d love for Josh to have guys that wide open to throw to several times a game. Andrews is coming on strong and Flowers is solid as well. With Henry in the backfield they are a tough matchup for us. We are built to beat the Chiefs not the Ravens. If we see them in the playoffs, I bet you see some 4-3 for the first time. The Ravens big issue is Tucker has been an absolute mess this year and its going to cost them.

It’s clear as day that McD is inviting teams to run the ball. We are purposely giving light boxes and begging teams to run it. McD’s philosophy is that if teams are going to waste a lot of plays on the ground, it will force them to march down the field every drive where the chance for a mistake goes way up. It’s worked so far except against the Ravens who took us totally out of our game script. McD would rather bring a safety down in the box than put a 3rd LB on the field and take Johnson off. We aren’t going to switch things up against a banged up 49ers team and show our hand. I could see in the playoffs McD throwing in some 4-3 against the Ravens just to switch things up if they are running it down our throats again but that’s about it. I think we need to stop worrying about the run D so much. It’s strategic and McD/Babitch have done an excellent job adjusting to a teams run game even though we are running nickle 85% of the time.

JFC with all this snow talk. It’s Buffalo, oh no! It might snow! We’ve had 3 games moved in the history of the franchise. Relax, it’s a Buffalo game in December. Some of you guys act like you’ve never lived here. One of the best games I’ve ever been to was the Miami snow game where Ricky Williams ran for like 200 yards and we still won. 75K people singing Let It Snow. Awesome. Milano is going to be on a severe snap count. I don’t expect to see any 4-3 against a SF team coming East in the snow with half their team on IR. Purdy with his bum shoulder isn’t going to be throwing past 20 yards so we will let them run as much as they want, especially if we get up. It’s going to be the usual nickle D with Milano coming in on obvious passing downs to get his feet wet.

You are hilarious and your takes suck but it’s good amusement. You are like the Arron Quinn of TBD, you always have to have some contrarian take to try and make some ridiculous point. Elam is in the most CB friendly defense in the league and he can’t see the field. McD takes 7th round cast offs and makes them into serviceable CBs who go on to get solid contracts, yet Elam “played realty well his rookie year” and is inactive more often than not. He will get a chance to compete for #2 next year because Douglas will be gone, that’s it. They won’t pick up his 5th year option. Take a break.

Bravo on the trolling. There are always a few who will fall for it. Go back to Fin Heaven I’m sorry your team can’t play in weather below 60 degrees

Wrong. Through Sept of 2024, in his career Mahomes has had 29 turnovers reversed by a defensive penalty (21 int, 8 fumbles). Of those 29, only 9 have been the result of defensive Offside, 7 picks and 2 fumbles. So out of Pat’s 29 turnovers that were reversed, you can use that “free play” for 7 of them. Mahomes has BY FAR benefited the most from the overturning of his turnovers. Show me the numbers of Mahomes having TDs call back by penalty. I highly doubt that.

The key to beating KC is you have to be up 2 scores at the 2 minute warning so the refs can’t take the game from you without it being 100% obvious. That’s a tall task, because the refs are going to try and keep it a one score game (unless KC is ahead) so they can affect the outcome at the end. No team has been the recipient of more game changing BS calls than the Pats*, but KC is a very close second. Mahomes has the most interceptions overturned by defensive penalties in the history of the NFL. That’s by design. So you just have to accept that the Chiefs are going to get the majority of the game changing calls, and plan to overcome that by steam rolling them. It’s easier said than done, but Buffalo has done it multiple times, we just need to do it in the playoffs if we meet up with them.

Williams has certainly upped his game this season, but he still gets lost in coverage and bites hard on play action. He is regularly successfully targeted by opposing offenses. Milano at 75% is an upgrade over Williams. I’m sure they are going to ease Milano back in, but as soon as he’s near 100% he gets all the snaps. I think what Williams does is give us an opportunity to go 4-3 against some run heavy teams like the Ravens at times. I’d take Hamlin off the field and but Johnson at safety. It’s hard to take Johnson off the field for Williams.

Zero percent chance Ben Johnson those to that sht show in NJ. He had his pick of jobs last year and stayed put. He’s too smart to put himself at the helm of a perennial dumpster fire franchise with one of the worst owners in the NFL. Woody brought those guys in to try and give the job some legitimacy because NO ONE is going to the Jets unless you are grabbing a division 2 college coach

Why do people keep thinking this is a possibility? First of all, why would you even want it? Daboll’s offenses without Josh have sucked. Yes, Daboll helped Josh meet his potential but Josh made him look better than he was. McD was not a fan of his by the end. Their handshake after the Giants game was FROSTY. I think there was a lot of push back from Dabs when McD told him to run the ball more. McD now has the offense he wanted. There’s zero chance Daboll comes back as OC.

No QB has had more interceptions over turned by a defensive penalty than Patrick Mahomes. Fact. So Chiefs fans can whine all they want about the refs but besides Tom Brady and the Pats*, no team has been the recipient of more game changing BS flags in their favor than the KC Chiefs. Another fact.

Your anecdotal memories are not data. Trap games have already been proven to be a hoax https://harvardsportsanalysis.org/2012/11/debunking-the-trap-game-and-letdown-game-myths/ Same thing with “let down games”. It’s in your head.

Chief fans on social media are some of the most insecure, obnoxious, unlikeable douchebags on the planet. Chief fans in real life are some of the most down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming fans I know. They’d probably say the same about Bills fans. The thing is, most football fans don’t post on twitter or message boards. We get a very skewed view of “fans” when you are only considering social media.

This is 100% BS just like the whole trap game hoax. It’s fan and media talking head drivel used to drive narratives for games. If it’s so common, show me the data.

I don’t think we bring this guy in. McBeane love them some continuity and Mitch knows the offense (even if he probably can’t execute it) haha

I don’t want to see Miami if they squeak into the playoffs at #7. They are going to win one flukey game against us and I don’t want it to be in the playoffs. My BBFS would come back so strong I’d have to be institutionalized. Give me Denver, Pitt, Indy, Chargers in the first round if we don’t get the #1 seed. I think the #1 is still in play. KC has a gimme against Carolina but not so sure they are the Chiefs of old who can just turn it on in the playoffs.

We don’t know it was white guys who did it. In fact, there are several posters who said they observed 3 black guys doing it and they’ve done it before. If that’s true, it makes this thread even more ridiculous. As an American of Italian decent, I find the term Bill Mafia offensive because of the negative connotation of some of my more entrepreneurial brethren. Actually no I don’t. I couldn’t care less. I just think the term Bills Mafia is dumb

Does no one see the irony of the members of fan base called Bills “MAFIA” being triggered by a frog hanging from a rope? Selective outrage. The frog is not being lynched. There’s no rope around his neck. It’s suspended by as rope on a stick. I can see how those who want to be offended can find fault in this though. I just think the whole thing (both the “hanging” and the response to it) is dumb. And Mahomes absolutely sounds like Kermit

Glass Davis made the most of a mediocre skill set and set himself up for life. Good for him, he was always a good guy just not a #2. I don’t think we sign him for the league minimum so he can roll his ankle in week 3 and do nothing for the next 14 games.

This is why all these awards are an absolute joke and really mean nothing. McD should have won it twice so far. He should have won when we broke the drought, and he should have won in 2020 when he kept that team together through all the obstacles of that season. Hamlin should have won Comeback Player of the year over Flacco, that was a big FU to Buffalo no question. Josh should have won MVP over Lamar last year. These awards are nothing but narrative driven popularity contests

Still hurt from what? It was his non throwing hand he broke in the first game.

I don’t take Joshua F’n Allen for granted. He missed a WIDE OPEN Morris on that play. It’s ok to say so. The guy is a unicorn. He will make more plays than he misses.

I’m one of those guys who just wants the W. I don’t care how it looks, I don’t care about stats, just win baby. That being said - to win this game with Joshua F’n Allen running roughshod through Spags D and lowering the shoulder to get in the EZ is pure poetry. I couldn’t care less about the MVP talk and it annoys me to no end how much that gets brought up here, but thats an MVP level performance by Josh. I was 100% sure that McD was a an idiot for going for it on 4th and 2 instead of kicking. That’s why I’m on the couch instead of coaching. Balls of STEEL! I’ve been tough on MIA Oliver - he showed up. D played well enough to win but needed complimentary O to seal the deal. Total team win. I wasn’t thrilled with Brady, I thought too many first down runs and too many 3rd and longs were the result of his play calling. But, a W is a W so it worked. Amari Cooper is a gem. Listen to his post game. He’s the anti-Diggs. I hope we can re sign him. Great Win. Awesome to have 2 weeks to savor it. F Taylor Swift and I’m glad she didn’t show her ugly mug. Let’s do it in January. Go Bills!
