Freddie's Dead

Congratulations again to last week's winner, @Ray Stonada! After a couple games on the road, the Bills come home to the friendly confines of Highmark Stadium, to take on the newly resurgent Bungles. The Bungles used the return of Joe "Cool" Burrow to upset the Ravens on Thanksgiving. In recent years, the Bengals have just had our number. They were in the process of running us out the building until Damar Hamlin literally died on the field. Then, three weeks later, they unceremoniously bounced us from the playoffs, defeating us 27-10 in the divisional round. They beat us yet again in 2024. So will the Bills finally break the Jinx? I say, YES! This will be a tough game, but Buffalo will score a late TD to win going away: Bungles - 21 Beews - 31 Past Winners Week 1 - @Nineforty Week 2 - @NoHuddleKelly12 Week 3 - @Bookie Man Week 4 - @Lost and @jcamm1966 Week 5 - @RobbRiddick Week 6 - @H2o Week 7 - BYE Week 8 - @27yankees and @Mat68 Week 9 - @kkim0904 Week 10 - @RiotAct Week 11 - @stlbils13 Week 12 - @Pine Barrens Mafia Week 13 - @Ray Stonada

Praytor? I see you working.... I picked Shaq and Bosa. Shaq just has that nasty streak sorely missing in this defense, and Bosa? 5 FF is just amazing.

Kis?

Even if you accept the premise that Josh Allen is a dirty player, he's OUR dirty player...

I can't add to what's already been posted...

Oh *****, we've got Fox? I'll have to listen to the TV because I can never sync up the radio to Fox. GRRRRRRR.....

Duh. Who needs to pass when you can get 5 yards a clip just by running the ball against the Bills D?

You beat me to it. I said "Who did did he wave at?"

I'm surprised that there's so many for number 1. The Sean lovers on this board will NEVER acknowledge that he wasted the career of the greatest QB that's ever lived.

Mah no' is boken.... (pinch your nose when you say this to approximate the voice A A Ron is using)

He's simply the best QB ever.

Beat me to it.... For me, it's mostly #1, with a dash of #2 thrown in. But if he wins it this year, he can stay for life. If not, I want him gone. If the Steelers fire or part ways with Tomlin, I hire him in a second and fire McDummy.

1 - The late hit on Josh woke us up, and that was plain for everyone to see (although I got some crap in another thread for saying the Bills were sleep walking through the first half until that hit). We were running the ball up and down the field, but until that hit, we had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. It's a damning indictment of McDummy and his ability to get the team ready for its opponent. 3 - Vintage Gabe. Agree, on the replay, he slowed down after he broke to the inside. Otherwise, he was a non-factor, just like the rest of the WRs. 7 - Villian? 8 - Cook was the best re-signing that Beane made. At $12M/year, we robbed him blind. And before you give me crap for that statement, consider that Tupac got $15M/year.

Yes. At his current contract, we robbed him blind.

I was watching the punt fest early and if they were fired up, it was lost on me.

Interesting, because the players backed this up as well. As pointed out elsewhere, the team agreed with the assertion that the Josh Allen hit lit a fire under them.

Sal pointed out on the radio broadcast that Buffalo was kind of sleep walking through the game, and then came the late hit on Josh that wasn't called. After that, Buffalo had a nasty edge. To quote Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto: "I fear that all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve".

Congratulations to all who picked the Bills, well done! With the final score Bills - 26, Squeelers - 7, the winners are: Gold - @Ray Stonada, 28-13, for a total score of 8. Silver - @BuffaloBillies, 21-12, and @billsfanfrom83, 31-12, for a total score of 10. Bronze - @Matt_In_NH, 16-11, @27yankees, 34-13, and @DrBob806, 9-7 for a total score of 14 (-3 for @DrBob806 getting the exact Squeelers score). See you all next week!

Josh and Cook get their automatic game balls, Shakir's is revoked. Tupac once again came up small in this game. One more performance like that, and I'll have to remove his automatic game ball. Ray Davis/Ty Johnson - The backup RB's were featured in the offense this week and made a significant difference. Ray Davis with his slashing runs, and Ty Johnson catching FD's out the backfield was a 1-2 punch that the Squeelers were not ready for. Joey Bosa - Sometimes you get a game ball for a single play. The strip sack of A A Ron was a pivotal point in the game. Christian Benford - The scoop and score after Bosa's strip sack changed the tenor of the game. The INT later completely swung the momentum in favor of the Bills and they never relinquished it. The rest of the D - They held the Squeelers to 7 points, and that was on a short field due to a Bills turnover. Well done D! WHO YA GOT??

Sal is saying the Bills had no energy until the hit on Josh by Queen that wasn't called. It brought out the nastiness in the Bills and they took over the game at that point.

The train whistle is way better than the Squeelers announcer intoning "It's THIRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD down!". Weak.

NICE JOB GETTING THE FD TY JOHNSON!!!

Sal reports Bosa has a hammy, questionable to return. He sits the rest of the way, if I have anything to say about it.

ANYWAY YOU WANT IT!!!
