This staff feels adequate RB's are a dime a dozen! That doesn't sound nice but it's true. Get a guy with some shake and a good work ethic and we'll be ok!!

Thank you for this post!!!

Is their a metric for HEART, MOTIVATION and GREAT COACHING???

I feel the way you do! Let the GM & HC do what they feel is best and I bet they won't 'reach' for a QB in the draft!!! It's exciting!!!

Great Post! I went to my first Bills in 1960 with my Dad and was "hooked" every since. These past 17 years seem like a mirage. When you went through living the 4 seasons of Super Bowls day in and day out it left you exhausted - ready for a break from it all. But really, a 17 year drought!!

I'm a MUCH older fan than you and was feeling the same emotions. If there was ever a good time to get a hang over it was today! And - yes - we deserved this!

I Agree! It was a class move by the coaching staff! A memorable moment for the team and Kyle.

would we win hands down?? Or, does the good weather in Miami help Tyrod & McCoy move the offense to a victory?? Thoughts?

I felt the same. The 'fighting' was silly and the mods were a big part of it.

My friend, you are 32 years of age and in your 10th NFL season. You'll get a nice NFL pension and plenty of wonderful memories! Your greatest football days are behind you. (laughter) All I ask of you for Sunday vs. the Dolphins is: -run hard and straight at defenders -knock tacklers off you -no moves to the outside -NO fumbles This could be your last game in the NFL. Make yourself a hero in Buffalo Bills history! Just do it. You can!

Games that matter in the AFC Play-Off race, the final week of the season and Buffalo is part of the SHOW!! Bills vs. Miami, Oakland vs. Chargers and Bengals vs. Ravens ALL AT 4:30 PM New Years EVE !! The Bills have a shot at the final play-off spot! How in the hell did we get here with a rookie HC, a roster with 65 % new players from '16 ( and no super stars ) and with TT at QB? Complain all you want about what should have been done, what could have happened, who we should have kept on the roster or who should have come to the team 3 years ago. This the reality of 12-31-17. New Years Eve! GO BILLS!!

That's why this team built by new management and coaching is so interesting! Cadet is making $410,000 per year. Gillislee of the PATS who has been a healthy scratch for the last 4 weeks earns $4 mil per season. It's nice!

Thanks for a good, logical response. When you really digest the talent on the team overall it's pretty amazing !

A rookie head coach. A brand new staff. A roster that went on the field today with 36 new players from last season! These new players weren't superstars at all. Joe Webb, Shareece Wright, Mike Tolbert, Ramon Humber, Ryan Davis, Vladimir Ducasse, Cap Capi and more. And, all of them contributed to an 8 win season that was an improvement over last year! This staff molded this group into a team that could win games in the NFL. No wonder they had to be conservative many times with the overall skill sets of the players. Congratulations to the Coaches and the Players! The Bills future looks bright.

Rivers, Philip 2004-present 182 178 97 81 - .545 Fouts, Dan 1973-1987 181 171 86 84 1 .506 Hadl, John 1962-1972 154 123 59 55 9 .516 Humphries, Stan 1992-1997 79 76 47 29 - .618 Brees, Drew 2001-2005 59 58 30 28 - .517 How can the Chargers, with this many successful QB’s over the years, NEVER win anything meaningful??? Humphries was the only one to lead them to a Super Bowl in 1994. I don’t think Rivers can!

Time has run out on the Bills. Their play has regressed during the 2nd half of the season while Miami has improved. Nice Dolphin wins over the Titans, Chargers and Patriots without their starting QB is impressive. The Bills have had inconsistent Quarterback play since the start of the season and that hasn't improved. And, with the constant week-to-week change over in wide receivers that makes the entire offense tougher to manage. Miami should win by 10+ unless McCoy goes crazy on the ground!

I don't have the 'inside' or 'investment banker' connections that some other posters seem to have -but- building a 67,000 outdoor stadium in Pembroke or Batavia NY is NOT going to happen!!!! The Pegula's have invested billions in the Sabres, the Key Bank Center, the 20 story Harbor Center with 2 full size ice rinks and a hotel, Canalside and the 716 Restaurant & Sports Bar. ALL but New Era Field are in BUFFALO! Why oh why would they want to pull business away from their downtown investments?? Make it more difficult for Canadian fans to get to a game ? All for 10 games a year to let fans party in the parking lot. Insane and nonsense!

A rookie from Temple that was supposed to be a back-up guard. He's become an excellent LT and makes injury prone Glenn with his big contract expendable. A great draft pick! He's always celebrating in the end zone after a Bills TD. In the Indy game he was throwing snow at the fans and shoveling snow off the field. After the game the team went to Ilio DiPaolio's Restaurant to celebrate. When an employee left to go home and was stuck in the 15" of snow Dion was the first player out the door to help push her out! A good player, a good team mate and a good man!

Maybe that's why Groy and Miller aren't playing at LG at all - - the HC trying to prove a point with the GM????

GREAT! It was a great group back then!! I really thought some of the major posters and mods got some kind of an advance notice before BBMB went down out of the blue! Crazy. Come on - what was the old name???

Where have all the Posters gone – long time passing Great, dedicated, big time BBMB posters have disappeared. Have they joined the new Message Boards with new identities? These were posters that had an opinion and just didn’t reply to threads with negative insults! Why do you quit after years of interest in the BBMB and love for the Bills? Why? Any additions to the list? 11. old school with 30,000 + posts 22. Band Lands Meanie – a ball burglar 33. Butch from the Eastside 4.4 Shaunta53 55. Indybillsfan 66.

Good write up! Question - why is Tolbert playing so much? Cadet seems to offer the same type of game as Shady.

It was obviously helmet to helmet - the video shows that. The announcer said that a QB that dives head first is to be treated like any other running back or receiver - what the hell does that mean in regards to helmet to helmet hits??? It was clear the Bills on the field were upset with a lot of pushing and shoving after the play. The tackler went low to the head when Peterman was on the ground (snow). Why was it basically ignored????????

Nice game today - - 9 total tackles leading the team (8 solo). He did lose coverage on a couple of plays.

Avery interesting post as was the game. Milano had 9 tackles to lead the team - -8 of them were solo. Games like this one are good for him, Peterman and all the rookies to learn from - including the HC.
