Maybe. It's awful close to gametime to try and buy tickets and then flip them for two teams playing in a neutral site location. They might get caught bagholding on that scalp job.

In that interest, if any of you fine season ticket holders don't need your special presale link, let me know! We'll put blue in seats!

Big question: will entry be free like it was in 2014??

I support a free Bills game at FedEx Field this Sunday.

How drunk were you when you wrote this?

This is the funniest thing I’ve read on TBD in a long time

Agree with this. NFL doesn't need to turn into the NBA any more than it already has. I don't understand how anyone can even stick with a team in the NBA at this point. The jersey the players are wearing means nothing.

I probably wouldn't have called him out by name on an internet forum.

I completely agree with your take, OP. He's a fantastic pass coverage LB. One thing that's hard to quantify is how many passes never get thrown over the middle by opposing teams because he's in good position to make a play (and also just a huge human being). He plays his pass coverage assignment really well and makes a big difference in the middle. Considering you have to pass to win in this league, especially in the playoffs, that's the most important attribute for his role in the Bills defense. He is very good sideline to sideline as you pointed out, but he also often over pursuses on offtackle runs and gets washed out of the play too easily. You're also correct that he doesn't fill the gap and stuff RBs like a Ray Lewis or a Roquan Smith. He's gotten a lot better vs. the run though and has great hustle. Overall, he's a huge asset for us because of his pass coverage skills. Not every player is going to be great at everything, but overall he's very good for us.

I think a lot of fans have unrealistic expectations. Anything less than an absolutely perfect performance in all phases is overly dissected and debated. All great teams have bad drives, quarters, halves, and even whole games. Great teams even (gasp) LOSE on occasion. The talent parity in the NFL is so close from top to bottom. The Bills are one of the best teams in the league, but they can make mistakes and be beat. The obsession with "power ranking" the league by both fans and the media after every single week has gotten really tiresome at this point. We have a great team... just sit back and enjoy the ride!

The high water mark of the Marrone era! Great recap of that game. It was an amazing win, and Mario was unstoppable. He was a great Bill and should be remembered fondly!

The hit on Dane was very unfortunate. I tend to think he needs to be a little more in control there, but it's hard to place too much blame on him. It was a really unfortunate accident. He is really something in pass pro, and he's coming around on the run defense finally. This was an outstanding tackle in particular

I’d say that’s a safe bet

Possibly true to an extent, but him overthrowing high several times (a few of which resulted in picks) was not the result of him throwing a timing route that the receiver was not in position for. That's just a miss on the QB. And he threw high numerous times... badly.

Yes, in 2021. I think he showed his age quite a bit in 2022. He wasn't getting open like he used to. I like the guy, but I'm not convinced he's the same asset he was for Josh when he first arrived. At his price, I think the Bills can better use the money elsewhere.

It was nothing short of perfection. So yes. You can’t be better than perfect.

One of the best picks I’ve ever seen. Looked like Willie Mays covering that closing distance to make an incredible catch!

He’s been really incredible the past few weeks and especially last night. I still hope they get another quality back soon to push him and share carries, but he’s proven he can be a really effective lead back. His vision and awareness last night was incredible. Exact right cut at the exact time, following blockers, letting the play develop... really something.

Not on the agenda this trip. That place is incredible though. Playa Norte is one of the most incredible beaches I’ve ever seen. Love the scene down there in general! Sorry to hear about your gut! I can pretty much set my watch to getting some kind of stomach issue every time I go to Mexico lol. Hopefully it won’t be THAT bad this time. Go Bills.

Nice. we’re jumping on a plane at 6am Sunday morning for Cozumel. Don’t think I’ll be sleeping before we need to leave for the airport. Hope it’s because of overwhelming joy and not crushing depression.

Old habits die hard... we’re in the playoffs man. Save it.

Their run is over.

All time great Bill. Great career. He’s not putting up sack numbers, but he’s still effective this year. There’s more to rushing the passer than just sack stats. He still collapses the pocket and keeps QBs from escaping outside.
