And for Rasul Douglas it seems to have been the reverse. Traded on the cheap by GB and now a solid starter.

I just wish people would put Barkley's season in the proper perspective. It has been an amazing year and while he may get the most yards ever in a single season, his 124.8 YPG puts him just outside the top 10 in single game average over a season. If he averages 150 yards a game the rest of the way (4 games) he would average 130.8 YPG. If he averages 200 yards a game the rest of the way (4 games) he still wouldn't reach O.J.'s average. Barkley would still be at "only" 142.5 YPG.

I keep hearing "Most yards in a season." If Barkley has 250 yards this week and 250 yards next week he would have 4 yards less than O.J. after 14 games. Certainly a Roger Maris style asterisk would be warranted.

Tell me we are winning and I won't care who we play. Whether they have injuries, the refs miss a call, their stud has a bad day, the ball just bounces our way. I don't care about any of that if we winf. Tell me we lose and that is my nightmare scenario because I do not want the division I like the least to have a chance to complete the sweep. Give me the Lions any day, if we lose to them at least their fan base wins. I know there are some don't want a Lombardiless franchise to get one before us but I would rather that than another loss to the NFC East.

I think the worst thing that happened to the Giants and Daboll was that unexpected playoff win resetting the bar on the team and QB when the reality was they aren't a team with the talent to regularly win playoff games.

Bills 34 Chiefs 20

No regrets from me on buying his jersey while he was here and I would still wear it whenever he had a standalone game after he left the Bills. Glad he is doing so well.

That part of the conversation is valid. The rest, not so much.

My thoughts were if the Jets can leap us for the division, we were going nowhere. If we both get in, I would choose to face the Jets over the Texans in the playoffs, all thinks being equal with health. If I had any fear the Jets could pass this Bills team I would never pull for the division opponent but I don't think they have any chance to jump us.

I've never minded some folks' worried or disappointed takes, like someone said before it is about opinions. I do get annoyed when people refuse to do what you do and that is accept being wrong and be happy they you wrong in the direction that benefits our Bills. I've had plenty of the "I am so glad to have been wrong about <insert name here>" opinions.

I expected something far worse than the truth and something said for years.

That is the second nice hit by the 49ers Mustapha, didn't they just pick him up? He was the one to hit Worthy.

It is nice to be worrying about the competition for the 1 seed vice seeing who we need to lose to have a shot at making the playoffs, that's for sure.

It was a helluva a game and I also could heal from that loss much quicker with a win today. Go Bills!

Oh wow... this could be this year's Marshawn Lynch #23 which lost it's nameplate long , long ago.

I've had worse days myself 😁

Deep inside I fear you are right but I keep telling myself out loud that the conditions were actually that bad and Bass isn't completely broken, considering the cap impact (so say more knowledgeable folks than I).

Yes, but in the morning he would be sober and refs would still be terrible.

Winston Churchill went to a football game while visiting the US and said it was similar to rugby but wondered why the players had all those committee meetings (huddles). Watching the refs standing around clucking like hens while spinning the wheel of penalties made me think of that quote and I can't even imagine how much more confused Churchill would have been.

I wanted 5-1 but told myself 4-2 was acceptable. I do wish it had come more convincingly.

I love hubris on a sesame cracker.

Drawing a parallel to a sport Josh Allen clearly loves was brilliant. Tailor the message to the receiver and it is far more effective. They have been telling Allen this for years I am sure but compare a checkdown pass to laying up in golf and it clicks.

Everyone has a point. I don't know where mine is for the NFL but I knew where is was for MLB. As a Big Red Machine fan of the 70s I was NL all the way. When they added the DH to the AL I said if they do that to the NL, it won't be the same game and I'll stop watching. I haven't watched a single Red's game this year. Don't doubt people being willing to walk away from things they enjoy if pushed the right (wrong?) direction.
