Agreed with all this… which is why the closer we get to tomorrow night, the more nervous I get listening to the entire football world predict an ultimate beatdown and Miami collapse. It may be a beat down…but they still have an offense that can exploit our depleted back 7. I just hope the players really don’t watch any of the pundits talk!

I think it’s entirely too early to talk about the 1 seed, not to mention bad by ju ju! We all hope for it. We all want it. But it’s week 3 and the trees still have green leaves! Personally, I won’t be able to give it serious consideration until I’m eating pumpkin pie and planning a week of turkey left overs.

Agreed. Unless the players have just given up and are willing to throw in the towel to get a new regime, I think they come out on fire with an extremely well-scripted first drive. Their plan will be to be physical, jump to an early lead and hope to quiet the crowd and shut Allen down long enough to get into the late 3rd quarter. So, the Bills just have to be prepared, focused and consistent. They can and will wear down the Dolphins.. .whether it takes 1 quarter or 3. If Beane hasn't already put his scouts on the alert to find a Milano and Taron replacement, I'd be surpeised. Both of those positions require fast, physical and smart players. And both of those players are showing decline.. Milano more so than Taron. But, it's definitely time to look for replacements. I would also suggest, even if Bishop improves all season, it's probably time to look for a Rapp replacement as well (although that could potentially still be a full year away).

So you’re saying this is their Super Bowl!?

Is he any good?

Pretty sure it happened on Fields’ one long run. I saw him fall down.. I was hoping a minor ankle sprain, hammy or something similar. But this is worse. I guess it depends on the severity of the tear, but you gotta figure 4-6weeks minimum. ?

Agreed! This was a game, where i was thinking go vanilla to start the 2nd half. Don't run up the score because we'll see this team again and don't put anything on tape you don't want other teams to see. As has been mentioned, i wish they did more play action. And they either need to work really hard on screen passes, or just delete them from the playbook because they absolutely suck at screen passes. I mean suck. I like that they seem to be getting away from the tush push a bit. Not that i think its bad to run, but a few teams are getting better at figuring it out. So it's not quite the guarantee it used to be. But, yeah, otherwise…. Its hard to fault the offense at all ; especially week 2!

Looks like a TD to me. Glad they challenged

If they lost… I’m sure the despair would prevail for a week. Just gotta enjoy the win.. and being 2-0.

Thats the real issue… the NFL doesn’t consider a Canadian game part of the “international” series of suck games. They just consider it as another Bills’ home game. Even Jacksonville, who has done all they can to claim London as theirs… still gets to consider some of their London games as away. If a game in Toronto had the Bills play as the away team, I’m sure it would be better received by Bills Mafia, overall, and especially season ticket holding fans.

This is why I think those PFF scores are crap… how is Derek Henry not the #1 ranked RB last week? One fumble, I guess, negates the fact that he literally ran the Bills D into the ground.

I think this is one area of the game the Chiefs have mastered. They manage the number if possessions, as much as the clock, and change the tempo of their offense for the situation. It’s why they always seem to be in a one possession game and always have just enough time on the clock to get the final score and win. It doesn’t always work. Just look at your two games last year against them. In the regular season game, they got the Bills to a 4th down late in the game and most all the metrics say the Bills should have kicked a FG. If they do the Chiefs had all the time in the world to milk the clock down and tale the lead. But then Josh Allen did Josh Allen things. Then compare that go the Championship game. Even if Kincaid makes the catch and the Bills go in to score, there was almost certainly going to be enough time for the Chiefs to get the ball back down one score. As much as Reid is a master at scheming guys open, he's better at managing the possessions amd game clock per possession.

Maybe I’m just an old dude. But I don’t like this kind of stuff. It’s clearly all fake, I would think anyone can see that. But there’s something about it that just seems wrong. Stay humble, stay classy. More often than not… we’re on the wrong end of games like that.

You do realize how rare that is to be up by 3 or 4 touchdowns? I do think some expectations are out of alignment with the reality of our current plane of existence. Has anyone considered, that maybe Shakir’s statement was just a bit tongue in cheek given where they were in the game?

Verbal back and forth is one thing. But trying to hit players is another thing. Granted there’s a line between that and celebrating after a TD. Hopefully the league just tells players.. don’t go near fans in the sideline, celebrating in the endzone is ok. ALSO… people need to stop throwing stuff on the field. Ok one time a ***** was funny. But that’s over. Just don’t do it. It’s not a good look.

We all keep waiting for Bishop to improve. But.. how long do we give him? I know Hamlin sucks…but he’s rarely out of position as much as Bishop.

I don’t know if the Bills and Ravens can keep that level of intensity and play up all season… but yeah. Last night’s game was by far the best game of the weekend. still just a crazy good game when I think about it.

Still a bit in awe. How many times have we seen that exact game… only to miss the final FG, or more likely not force the punt with under 2mins. It was just ..amazing to finally get the breaks (tipped pass to Keon!). Just amazing. Crazy too when you watch last night’s game in comparison to pretty every game I saw part of this weekend. It was closer to a playoff game intensity than a week 1 game. The Ravens absolutely came in and played hard! The Bills took it right on the chin and just kept coming back for another punch. Just incredible. And lets be honest… no one truly expected us to win after Lamar’s incredible Houdini run for a first down followed by Henry exploding for yet another long TD. No one. I can blame anyone for leaving. I really hope we don’t see that team in the playoffs. LOL they’re good! We’re good, too. But I’m hoping for a KC cake walk type road to the SB, not another Ravens rematch. lol. Just me probably. But wow. What a game! Go Bills!!

This game is lke the 77 seconds game. We’re gonna talk about it forever! Epic win! Go Bills!

I want to crush the Ravens and hear the lamentations of their fans.

Many times in games like this… in particular if the Ravens come out all jacked up and playing hard… is to get a stop and get past the first quarter without being down 2 scores. As others have said, that adrenaline and jam led up play doesn’t last the entire game. Just keep it close, be consistent and let them know all that emotion doesn’t matter. One aspect to the Bills offense I hope they can continue with this season is they rarely get in a slump. They don’t score every drive.. but they score every quarter. They just keep going. No matter how much you shut them down in the first quarter, most teams would find themselves in the 3rd quarter tied and thinking WTF happened.

Agreed. Although I suspect some of that physicality from the Bills was them playing with a huge chip on their shoulder after hearing all week about how the Ravens were a huge physical team that would just steamroll them. But, I do think losing Rapp and having Bishop in that game and the KC game were back breakers for the Defense… far more than people seem to talk about. Hopefully… the boys don’t start off rusty and bring some juice early! Getting an early lead is the best way to take them out of their comfort zone and force Lamar into errors, IMO. The Ravens are not a team I want to be trailing by 10pts to.

Finally watched the last episode and I don’t know what a lot of you people are talking about, it was a great episode. They showed cuts they showed the practice squad signings they did it all. They just did it with class and dignity for the players and left me just thinking this has to be one of the best run organizations in the NFL.

Right!? WTF. I hate playing the Baltimore Lamar’s.

I’ll pose a final question question/comment (for me): so I crank up the YouTube machine. Totally legit YouTube right? I can watch all 4 episodes of Hard Knocks with the Bills right now (episode 5 is not there yet). If I watch that.. am I stealing from HBO? If I watch all the other content… like old NFL games, ESPN clips, etc. Am I stealing that content as well? How do I know what is legally produced and posted on YouTube and ok for me to watch vs some random dude just posting it without permissions? It’s a bit similar to the streaming live game sites? How do I know which ones are legit? I mean the porn pop ups are usually a tell tale sign… but they’re also a nice bonus. LOL
