Donuts, excellent post and thanks for placing things in perspective. You and I are not happy about the fumbles especially in a day that feels like 20 degrees or less, snow freakin everywhere, and he extends with one arm on the goal line. That was definition of stupidity. We’re not when we were kids especially in those conditions, you hold onto the damn ball with both hands and live for another play, to seal the deal. Ok, I have that off my chest, now you are 100% correct he’s having a special even magical year and has far outplayed his contract. McD thankfully didnt sit him, but allowed him to play out to a win. I was wrong on him. I originally thought they would let him play out his contract and then franchise him. Again, I was WRONG! I’m happy to admit it. Our line is playing well outside of the Texans game. Our TE’s are getting it done. The other RBs are finally contributing with Ty in the passing game, Davis is perfect in our return game. These new ST rules speak to having a dynamic back returning for us, not a WR. So donuts, thanks for keeping things in perspective. Now let’s kick the Pats ars Sunday. We do that we move onto Cleveland, then Philly and McD can decide whether we are playing for something with the Jet’s, or not. Then it’s rest the starters like always as we won’t be the #1 seed. I’m not giving up or conceding hope. I won’t.

So Royal, what were in for? Just kidding. I’m assuming he was coached by the trainer to not stress the elbow with a full range of motion in his push-ups.

Genghis Khan, WTF. Now that was funny. I’ll read the rest in the morning. My wife even laughed at that one. Then again, she’s Chinese and knows Genghis Khan’s lore. You made her laugh. Good. i promise I’ll read the r3st in the morning as you’re posts are always thoughtful.

I’ll restate what I believe would work. After the seasons. After the season… 1. Terry pulls in Beane privately and fires him. 2. McD is forced by Terry to do two things. A. McD, you run the defense, and Babich can be your assistant. Not up for a negotiation. B. Daboll is now our offensive coordinator, and you want to keep Brady as a position coach, fine, but that’s it. Daboll can find the creativity to make this work and he can use Cook effectively, but the next GM is damn well going to get WR’s. We already have the OL, TE’s, RB’s, amd most importantly the QB. We only need to fix one last thing on offense. I’m done with blowing everything we have on defense.

I understand 716. I do. I just think we need all hands on deck for the playoffs and maybe we actually pull lightning out if a bottle.

Guys, I love Hawes too, but he’s not Kinkaid and never will be. He’s great at the dump off as no LB actually wants to man up on him. Hell, DE’s don’t want to line up on him. He’s an option and will grow a little with the passing game. He’s not even Knox. He had almost 100 yards Sunday. He would more if there were more opportunities for him. Brady has been blowing it with Knox. He’s better than what I’ve heard on this board this year. He can be a bigger threat. Brady has to grow some creativity, god forbid.

Don’t forget we need Oliver back for the playoffs. We can win without him until playoff football, but having Bosa and Oliver, with Thompson in the middle is a must. Benford and an increase in Hairston’s, and Hancock is imperative. Offense, damn straight we need Allen as it’s over, but considering that. Tough SOB has made more twice the next most durable QB in consecutive starts, I’m good. As far as Cook, just like Clifford Franklin had all that stickum on his hands in the replacements, we need the same for Cook.

Thanks Matt. I don’t know how to quit or make excuses. BS. Just trying to rile up my Bills friends to stop giving up, but get pissed. There’s plenty of time for that in February. Great line for a movie. You hurt me, I HURT YOU WORSE!. I am a pacifist for most of my adult life. I just know what it takes to win a fight when you need it. Now I’m a middle aged guy, but understand the mentality. These guys can do it. They can. BILLIEVE! Whats the worst thing that happens? You’re let down. Well I’ve been let down by the, for over 50 years. I refuse to give up.

I’ve already used a personal example about my oldest with 6 serious concussions. The long term effects are no joke. Their behavior is reprehensible. This is not a headache. It bothers me when I hear the guy got his bell rung. That is antiquated thinking. He should have never been let back in the game even if the Neuro said ok. His coach should have protected him from himself. Every real athlete always says, I’m ok. Sometimes you have to keep him from hurting himself.

Matt, Billieve. I have been just as frustrated with some aspects. I also see some of these players as warriors, like Josh. Many will step up. What is the recourse, to just say whoa is us. That’s not me or probably you. Screw that. They hit you, hit them HARDER! More people than not, don’t have a loser attitude. Winners eat it, and fight harder, smarter, and move up or around. For example we didn’t have a pass rush so our coverage team really stepped up. Just look what Epenesa and Benford did yesterday. They didn’t take defeat for an answer. There is plenty of time to be upset or surrender in February. It’s the 7th inning stretch. It’s not even close to bottom of the 9th.

Agreed Jones has been great and appreciate his consistency. I don’t agree Walker has been inconsistent or invisible. He’s been one of the most impactful players of this draft other than maybe Hairston if he gets to play more. Walker can grow into a heck of a player or at least a chance and he’s 4th rd. He’s doing better than his 2nd and 3rd rd players picked in that draft. Enjoy the win Bills fans as it was significant. Now we have the Rocky vs. Clubber Lang matchup next week, and maybe we get the movie result this time. My feelings about Sunday, “You Aints so bad, you ain’t so bad, your nothing”, “I’ll kill you”, “Yeah, I ain’t breathing heavy”. I don’t care if it’s the division. We need to put the fear of god in them for the playoffs, “they ain’t so bad”. No more Elvis. Watch Rocky 3 our Rock, JA. Just win Rock. No fear. No fear. In my own young life, I don’t accept fear to bullies. They surprised us. Time to surprise them, and let them know we are the AFCE champs. Make it so. No fear guys. Beat these bastages back into humility like the last five years. Show them BUFFALO! I’m sick of the fear and tenuousness. We have the QB on the planet for years. Let it out. I hope McD goes for it early and often. They are not perfect. I can’t stand the armchair AB’s acting like they walk on water. They are just another team to beat. We don’t know today who we get back Sunday. Bosa, Kinkaid a little better, ans wait til the playoffs with Oliver. We’ll show them who is the champs. No more fears. Beat these guys and scare everyone else the Bills Mafia is back. ok that’s my hype video for the week. I don’t know about you, but I told my wife who didn’t know me as a youngin, when I was hit I didn’t get scared, I was pirsed. Hit them worse. This team is tough. Time to not dissect everything, but get behind them. Thefts my position. You’re welcome to discuss yours as that’s your right.

Same here brother as I saw thought other than the Bills winning was that the Steelers won today. My guess is they are likely for the 4th and we may be the 5th seed. A perfect wildcard game for us, and the Bills will travel to that city easily. So a nice win over the Ravens.

Agreed Mupps. This is meant for self interests only. They most likely will never make the playoffs this year. My selfish interests is they end up 9-8, to 10-7, and miss the playoffs. Screw them and get a lower pick in the draft. Let them feel what mediocrity feels like from their division rivals. I’m certainly not worried about the Chargers or the Broncos. I just want one of them to knock off the Chiefs.

Anyone not rooting for the Chiefs isn’t understanding playoff seeding. I don’t want to see the Texans in Houston again.

That’s my hope.

You shouldn’t. First beat the Pats. Then pray the Ravens get their head out of their butts and beat the Pats. We beat the Browns and we’re tied. We’ll be hoping for the newly rebounding Fins can pull it out against the Pats. Granted the finale is in Foxborough, but they have beaten even the Brady led Pats before. That’s it. We have to run the table and the Pats have to stumble

Yes, and there already 3 good games at 4pm. Packers/Broncos, Rams/Lions, and Seahawks/Colts. Now since Daniel Jones just tore his Achilles so maybe that can be flexed. The night games maybe, but honestly, I love 1pm games. For the Buffalo people, you’ll get the game, and for the out of towners, there are other options. Besides I don’t want to wait all damn day for a night game that makes me nervous.

I agree as their season is now officially over so cruel to risk a long term problem. Like many both my sons were football and lax players. My oldest who also played in college had 6 concussions all from lax, not football and was a QB and LB. My tangential point is he is now 26 amd gets chronic headaches, some migraines, and occasional balance issues. Give Higgins a break for Christ’s sake.

They did it because it’s a Fox game, and is protected. They knew their game of the week would be the Bears, 9-3, vs. the Packers, 8-3-1 for the north, so basically wanted own the day with the top games of the weekend. Thats why.

UGGGGHHHH!

The 5th year option on a low paying position that is critical to our success is a no brainer. Sure he’s had injuries. Who hasn’t. Look at SF, Detroit, The Ravens, etc.

Yep, Kwai, and on the positive Allen has begun to understand its ok to slide so you dont bang up your shoulder, chest, ir elbow.

Have fun guys as I’m not running through this again after 34 years, the six days before I moved her to tampa for that SB, and suffered through that loss across the street at the Tampa Mall with a movie screen and radio station vans. There were by game time 11-14,000 fans across from the Sombrero. Enjoy the debate. If you feel we should at time be a cover defense, not attacking, no argument, including tomorrow. We should win.

Sven (or should I call you Walking Tall- i think that was show where Bo Swenson was the walking tall dude- I was a little kid so I think that was right), I agree with you're take. I would add a couple points. 1. Cooks needs to get more into the game plan as a deep outside threat as he’s done it for years and a pro on route running. Davis also needs to be thrown intermediate and one or two deep threats. Shakir is going to be Shakir, and I can see Hawes being a good 7 yard dump off as no one wants to make that business decision. Knox even can be targeted in over the middle routes. 2. The running back dump off option will help as both Cook and Ty have proven they are difficult to tackle in open space. For god’s sake cut out the behind the LOS scrimmage throws. 3. We already expect Cook to get a heavy run dose and on those plays we should play 12 personnel. Their D Line and O line suck and they are the 31st against the run, and 32nd against the pass. 4. It’s true on defense, our best pass rushers are out, so we might as well drop 7-8 and blanket them. It somewhat makes sense to activate Lawson, and push Sanders to the outside as they set the edge well as Rousseau so they are completely one dimensional. They shouldn’t be able to run at will. They just aren’t like the better rushing offenses we've faced. 5. Thompson has remain in the middle as if nothing else Bernard is banged up and it’s hurting us. I know he’s out this week anyway, but as long as Thompson is in the middle we have a better rushing defense. One of the analysts on WGR, I think Joe Marino juxtaposed between Bernard and Thompson and it was striking. I know a number of you aren’t crazy about Jeremy or Joe, but most in this board like Marino and his podcasts. 6. I certainly hope Hairston and Hancock continue to see their reps increase by the week, as White has been better when Hairston’s is sharing the duty as well as Hancock to Poyer. 7. So in the end, these are just a couple of additions to Sven’s excellent post. Most importantly, GO BILLS!

the last remark was funny.
