Oh my god, can you imagine how bad things would get if AB went in to Cleveland to play with OBJ and Landry? People would be all about them being the best offense ever then AB would go all AB and the melt down would be AMAZING.

The Bills haven't addressed the Media since post game, we won't hear anything until they do. The Bills have been pretty buttoned up about "leaks" under McDermott. It won't necessarily be at the presser, they may put the information out just before it, but they don't usually have info on players leaking out like it did in the past. They control the flow of information very well.

Come one guys it's a typo... move on...

I'm fine with this...

I see what you guys are saying about how quick it comes out, but that's Tom Brady's bread and butter... so how do you shut it down from a guy like him, who is 1000X better than Dalton, who executed it to 17 points in the second half, and put his team in position to win.

Welp, Hughes is good for at least 1 penalty now this week, regardless of if he does anything wrong. My guess is he'll get 1 roughing the passer, and maybe 1 holding call or something. Both of which are BS, but the refs don't like to be criticized... unless its Tom Brady doing it.

Were you the guy 5 rows in front of me who threw punches in the 3rd quarter because the guy behind you spilled popcorn on you?

People are talking a lot about the offense, and rightfully so, but something that stuck out to me like a sore thumb all game was the inability for this team to reach Andy Dalton. Going into this weeks game one of the biggest things discussed about the Bungles was that their O-Line was banged up TERRIBLY, and the Bills should be able to feast on them. But that wasn't the case. They did a nice job in the first half stuffing the run, and flummoxing Dalton by putting pressure forcing quicker throws. But they still weren't getting to him, and this inability to hit him and knock him down allowed them to change their offensive approach. In the second half they adjusted with shorter routes in space between the zone, and the defense struggled then to stop them. I know no defense will stop an offense all day, and only allowing 17 points is a win for any defense, but my point is that they were put in a position to need a stop, and the defense bent to allow them to get to field goal range to win. All the while this HIGHLY paid defensive line was entirely unable to register sacks against Dalton despite them having injuries all over the line. Dalton is far from a world beater QB, and he picked the D apart in the second half in the short passing game. Thankfully he's not Tom Brady or they would've moved the ball even better and really run us out in the second half. My concern is WE DO PLAY TOM BRADY THIS WEEK! No one is better at the short precise passing attack than Brady, and that has been exposed by the Bungles as a weakness of this defense. It's highly documented that the way you beat Brady is to, to quote Kawika Mitchell "Punch him in the mouth, and when he gets back up you punch him again". Our D can't get to Andy Dalton behind a TERRIBLE O-line... how do we expect them to get pressure on Tom Brady who is known for getting it out quick? IMO it's a large concern! Maybe I'm over analyzing it, but I really don't think I am... if they can't get pressure on Brady this week, he is going to dink and dunk pick us apart on the way to 35 points this week. And I don't see the Bills winning in a shoot out...

I miss the days when post game was actually listening to the player interviews in the locker room. I don't think they've done that going back to when WGR Took back over as the official bills radio network, but DAMN do I miss them doing all the player interviews. I couldn't care less what Mike Schopp and Bulldog think about the game immediately after. We have a full week of radio to fill with their takes on everything (which are always negative), so why do I need to be subjected to their negativity, arrogance, and pontificating immediately following a win? You know what I wanted to hear while I was riding high and stuck in traffic? I wanted to hear Dawson Knox talk about his first touchdown catch in the Pros, AND for that matter his first TD Catch since HIGH SCHOOL! I wanted to hear about that run he had where he electrified the stadium and got his team in position to win. I wanted to hear Goof Ball Tre White talk about his Picks, dude is hilarious! I would've loved to hear him joking around about it... or hear some of the guys talk about how the fans were insane and how the defense fed off it big time. Why do we need to listen to talking heads *****ing on callers instead of the guys from on the field?

Hopefully it's precautionary, maybe a strain or pinched nerve and the brace is to take pressure off it. Both are painful but not serious. Well see as the week progresses.

They have coolers of water at the Guest Services area where you can fill an EMPTY water bottle or refill a bottle you purchased there. Additionally, if you sign up for their "Designated Driver of the Game" Program they give you a coupon for a free Pepsi Product which includes Aquafina.... the snag there is you can't be drunk and saying your a DD lol. But I do the sign up every game to get my free water and then refill it at the Guest Services areas. They used to have Water Fountains back 25+ years ago but they removed them because they had issues with freezing pipes.

I'm pretty sure Brady has nude selfies of Father Time or something, so he's not going anywhere for a while...

Miami will be as close as there is such a thing this year... even then it becomes a dangerous trap game to teams looking ahead. Much like the Bungles are for us this week.

I would say in today's NFL, what the Texans gave up for Tunsil was an ASTRONOMICAL amount... and it's no anywhere near the NO trade for Ricky Williams. The more I read, I see people throwing out teams like Indy as an example of tanking working or people saying the Dolphins should or shouldn't be punished. My take is this: Indy tanked for Luck, we all know they did, and frankly most people were begging for the Bills and any other mediocre team to do the same. Did it work out? They got a franchise QB who was a generational talent, but they never properly built around him, and the absolute BEATING that man too as a result caused him to retire early before ever achieving what he COULD HAVE BEEN. I would argue that the Dolphins have put themselves in a similar risky spot, they traded away all their proven talent and now are reliant on draft picks to try and get better... as we all know that's risky. Who's to say they don't take the next Mike Williams to protect Tua's blind side and gets him killed? There are risks in what they're doing as well... The main complaint is that the Dolphins have upset the competitive balance of the league by intentionally getting rid of all their talented players for futures. Sooooo If the NFL is mad they're intentionally bad, can you explain how that is solved by the Dolphins being punished by having draft picks stripped away? They absolutely WILL NOT get better if the league strips them of the picks they got for these players... so they wont have the players, or the picks, and they'll be terrible so no FAs will want to go there. It's essentially a death sentence for a few years... Does the NFL want to create a team that will be a door mat to the rest of the league for the next few years? I highly doubt that, as it would upset the competitive balance of the league further. I see them giving a slap on the wrist to Miami, may take 1 pick and a salary cap penalty fine or something... then they'll change the rules about what teams can get in compensation: IE: You can't trade for 3+ first rounders in the same season or something to that effect.

If you cut Connor McDermott you only have 3 OTs, Dawkins, Ford, and Ty.... most people want to move Ty over to OG, so you want to only have 2 OTs on the roster? Lee Smith is the best blocker we have and he has been healthy, something neither Kroft nor Knox have been this off-season, cutting him opens you up to being short handed if Kroft can't stay healthy WHEN he actually is able to play. Johnson is playing a key role in special teams, and rotation at Safety. I agree, Duke keeps impressing... but who do you cut to get him on the active roster? If Singletary isn't 100% they're going to need to consider adding a RB as it is, and they're already dangerously thin at CB. My thought is the Bills are looking to get the O-Line sorted out and either cut or trade the odd man out to a team needy of O-Line help. Once they do that they will open up a spot they can use for RB, CB, or WR. My thought is their first call for the 53 for each: RB: Marcus Murphy (FA still) or Byron Marshall (PS) CB: Cam Lewis (PS) WR: Duke Williams (PS) They have other more pressing needs right now than WR, and while I think Duke should be on the 53 ... who do you cut? Right now, IMHO the lowest of the low on the totem pole for the 53 are: Kurt Coleman (S) & Ike Boettger (OG)... While he's buried on the depth chart I think Coleman is a team favorite because of his familiarity with the system, and Boettger is a rotational depth guy on the line's interior, but maybe is becoming expendable with Morse, Spain, Feliciano being the starters and Long and Bates playing as well as they have in reserve roles. Plus Ford looking better at OG changes that interior as well, but it makes us VERY thin at OT where we only have 4 including Ford. If Ford is permanently moved to OG, they can trade Long and/or cut Boettger because it would move Feliciano to a reserve role. But we end up with just 3 OTs in Dawkins, Ty, and Connor McDermott. That's far less than Ideal. It's a VERY difficult numbers game right now, so just adding Duke means losing something else. They are a bit banged up on the back end so you don't want them to cut a Safety unless they're adding a CB to fill in for Johnson. You just don't want to thin the herd right now with NE on the horizon. I would keep an eye on Andre Robert's health and the kick return game. If they guys handling it now keep doing the good job they're doing, I could see them move Roberts to IR and release him with an injury settlement which could open the door for Duke Williams to come on to the 53 man roster. But that's really the only avenue at this juncture I see which would get Duke Promoted... until the O-Line is more settled and we have a clearer picture of who we want to keep and who can go.

Well they might as well not play then ?

I am so sick and tired of hearing about Poncho Billa... a guy who lived in Texas is the face of all Bills fans now, because he had cancer... just let that sink in people... How many Buffalo Bills fans in Buffalo and around the country have lived and died and loved this team and have battled with cancer etc? And yet this guy is "the ultimate bills fan" and what not... It's just silly, and I CANT FREAKING WAIT for people to stop talking about him. Yeah I know this isn't popular and people are going to get grouchy, but whatever...

Does sex trafficking Asian women count as a business association?

I haven't had cable for 4 years now. It was really hard at first not getting Sabres games (as there is no alternative for cord cutters who live "In market"). But you get used to it... I don't get Thursday Night Football unless it's one of the ones on Prime, but those games suck anyways and again, you get used to it and do other things with your time. It does suck, but these sports leagues are losing money from this stuff because people like me just stop paying attention. I was a Sabres Season Ticket Holder a few years ago, I now couldn't name more than 4 people on the team. The Tank combined with the NHL making it impossible to watch in market (Center Ice blacks out "local Games" and MSG doesn't have streaming rights for Sabres games because Center Ice Does. Plus TSN streams but not in Buffalo because it's "locally blacked out") games without buying cable basically took the entire product away from me. Because of that I lost all interest. I emailed the Sabres 4 different times complaining and got no response, so it just showed me they don't care... so why should I?

I'm pretty sure Archie stopped watching football when Peyton Retired...

yeah the spread of legalized gambling combined with the popularity of fantasy football is going to be huge for the NFL. I think free access for surveys IE quid pro quo is a good way to play it for the groups like Amazon... it;s something they can capitalize on but others like Netflix cannot. They could sell the info but they can't use it... Amazon can use it to bolster it's own business AND Sell it... But it also puts the NFL product into the market for free where the others would be limiting... something the NFL seems to be trying to get away from. Very interesting I didn't read that part about surveys for "free" viewing. That makes Youtube another viable place too for buying NFL games. They can use the surveys across the other Google owned products etc.

If Netflix had any brains, they would go HAAAARD After buying the exclusive NFL Rights for streaming. They're pumping crazy money into development of content and they're still losing market share every month. They have had negative cash flow in the billions going back to 2014, as they have been reinvesting their profits AND borrow billions to try and create unique content. Yet at the same time people keep cancelling as CBS & Disney yank their properties off Netflix to put them on their own services. Netflix is getting squeezed out of the market place they essentially proved could be highly profitable. If they want to buy content that will blow up their subscriptions as well as ensure long term revenue through advertising etc.... buy the NFL slate, or half of it... The thing I see as a worry is the NFL won't necessarily want to get in bed with a company that losing market share and could go under or get bought out mid-way through a new TV contract. Also parting out games to Hulu (Or ESPN+ which ever Disney decides to try and buy games for), Prime, CBS, NBC Sports, Netflix in bundles would probably make them more money than selling off huge blocks. It's certainly going to be interesting. The NFL really needs to be sure they put their product in a place where the most people can see it, otherwise they're hurting themselves, but at the same time they need to maximize their dollars since whoever buys the rights are going to make crazy money and market the ***** out of it!

I was really hoping they'd trade for Ryan TanneFAIL

Don't get your hopes up man, If Peterman is involved anything "Thrown in" will get intercepted...
