Of course almost all of them are Bills and/or Sabres fans

This loss and ones to follow may be a blessing in disguise. As others have pointed out this team can't tackle, the receivers are at best mediocre (that drop by Kincaid was just awful), their coaching simply falls short and for whatever reason Allen is really off his game. I still want them to make the playoffs but it's now a win-win situation - they make the playoffs-great for the fans. if they don't make the playoffs they get a better draft position (not that Beane knows what to do with it), and they'll need to start to jettison the underachievers (including some coaches) and begin a brief 2026 retool to lower their cap and make a run in 2027.

The games not over but its hard to see how they do anything in the playoffs with the current makeup of this team. May be a blessing in disguise...if they are out of the playoffs due to losing to these lesser teams they get a chance to do a short retool in 2026 and then try again for the SB in 2027.

This has to be one of the worst tackling teams in the NFL

So is the bottom line the Bills will have to, in the near future, simply have a "we aren't going anywhere year" so they can get out of cap hell or is this perpetual until they tear down after Allen retires? Real question-I like your summary just don't know what the answer is.

total Homer pick.....Bills 34. Chefs 27

just got back to Durham from the game and Allen has somehow slipped from last year. there were at least three times where he had wide open receivers who he either didn't see or comply missed badly; plus he forced several passes in tight coverage. He did have a nice scramble throw- i think it went to Kincaid-i was at the other end zone so could see the replay but didn't catch who the receiver was. but it's simply my uneducated opinion that he doesn't seem to have the same awareness as he had last year. Still a great win - thanks Cook.

Seeing my sons who live in Durham-going to game with them-I am the designated driver so they better win as no drowning one's sorrows is there a place near the stadium where the Bills' fans congregate?

Bills 31 Panthers 27....Panthers eat up a lot of clock with their running game..the Bills stop with all the penalties and win the turnover battle 2-0.......Rolaids and Tums sales break a record in WNY

Pigeons 24 Bills 23...Atlanta runs roughshod through the Bills D but the Bills hang in only to lose with a Prater miss from the 45 with no time left

Its not so much a fix from the league but the unconscious bias the refs (and this incudes hockey too-of course with the Sabres the way they play doesn't help) have toward Buffalo. The constant negative rantings of the media toward all things Buffalo ultimately has an impact on how people in general view anything associated with WNY. Think about the number of people you have run into during your lifetime that when you mention you grew up in or near Buffalo and their reaction especially when they have never been to or spent any time in Buffalo.

Hopefully, this loss is a one-off and it shakes off the overconfidence that led to the Bills' meltdown in this game. My Observations were as follows: 1. The penalty calls were incredibly egregious and that ultimately helped the Pats win the game-having said that the Bills' coaching staff had a really bad game plan 2. The Bill's D is average at best 3. Allen reverted to the Allen of the first 3 years of his career - note that had the Bills got to 31 pts they win the game - duh obviously - that's me making fun of me 4. Not sure why but the Bills seem to suffer injuries at positions they can least afford - yes all teams have injuries but the Bills seem to compound them for their DBs and DL. 5. As a corollary to 2 and 4, until the Bills start to draft players in the first three rounds that can actually contribute, they aren't getting to the promised land-yes i know Cook was taken early but he seems to be the exception - I look at Rousseau and Epenesa as wasted picks and with this year's 1st, 2nd and 3rd either injured or simply AWOL when on the field this last draft looks real bad. Not drafting a linebacker early in 2024 to replace Milano was a mistake IMHO; of course he would probably have been bust considering the Bills' record on early draft picks 6. The Bills' receivers, except for Shakir and Kincaid, are pretty mediocre - they really need a speed demon to make the other team's DBs provide more space Last and not a game observation but if the Bills really think this is their year then trade for a speed receiver, a DB and a DE..yes they'll give up some draft capital but as noted above those early picks don't seem to contribute anyway. and finally we can all look forward to successful season by the Sabres🤣

oh god get a room you two

well one saving grace is given the purge of all the normal, good intelligence officers it's unlikely the cigarette man's admonition of never letting the Bills win a super bowl is diminished and maybe even close to zero

respectfully disagree - the Herschel Walker or Ditka's lets trade away all our draft picks for Ricky Williams I think surpass the bad Browns trade.
