Damn. Mason and CMC to IR. Season really is on the brink of being done.

The video above posted by @Buffalo_Stampede “Josh’s reaction is incredible” has the answer. Game time it looked like Coop just made an improv’ decision. The post game presser with him and Josh confirms this, as does that video. 100% ad-lib and spur of the moment. Seems that the best snow shovelers on Sunday weren’t those who got $20p/h but the guys who are on the books wearing 17 & 18!!!

Seen a few guys been ripped down by their hair in the recent eras; Edgerrin James, Marshawn, Larry Fitzgerald, Troy Polamalu, Marion Barber, Chris Johnson, Torrey Smith, our own Chris Ivory… Theres plenty of instances but those are just off the top of my head. Every guy who’s had dreads that hang past their shoulders has been on the rough end lol

Yeah. I think that’s where I’m at but it’s still an awful decision by Al-Shaair. Absolutely a dirty hit as he could have pulled out and rolled over him instead of driving the braced forearm and his weight into Trevor. However, I don’t think he intended to injure or even knock out Lawrence. Bad choice, awful outcome.

Speaking of the Eagles, I said to my buddy last year after th Eagles game that it would ironic if we made it to the Super Bowl and beat the only NFC East team we didn’t face during that 4 year run for our first Lombardi. Would be wild and perfect if the curse indeed is true. Bills/Eagles Super Bowl please! (Cardinals don’t count after realignment).

0-12?!? 6th ranked QB?!? What the F. Ay ay ay 🤦‍♂️ Whos ahead of him. I can only think of 2 if you’re going by statistical analysis and that’s Joe Burrow and Lamar.

Sorry to hear that dude, truly I am. There’s never a handbook or guide we parents are given to know how to be the perfect parent so hopefully you don’t hold his failings entirely against him. It takes an understanding of being patient, honest and loving to be great at a parent. You’ve just got to be shown how directly or indirectly for it to become a trait. He might have never had that chance unfortunately. I’ve learnt just as much from my coaches over the years as I have my parents. They’re integral to the development and continuation of strong character morals and values, something I wholeheartedly agree about Sean; a bystander, by watching and listening to him, can pick up of high quality integrities if they don’t have them already.

A win against any team means exactly the same, at least to me. A win is literally a win. Maybe it’s the former football player in me that would rather be teeing off against a team, and beating them, at their best. It removes the BS “what-if” narratives that outsiders or opposition are able to factor in against the result. To piggyback off @Neo’s steak analogy, which is actually a solid one at that… if I want to eat steak for a meal then the best cut or grade would be ideal. However, if I’m still eating steak how can I complain? If our boys beat team A at full health/strength; awesome! If our boys beat team A missing key player/s; just as awesome!

For all his failings he’s never failed to build character as a leader of young men. Always grateful for what he’s built and instilled in this organization, just like Marv did, a brotherhood that is about the collective success. Success as a team of high character men not just football players.

dont stop eh

Impressive. Legitimately.

Well I’m on 30+ myself but there wasn’t a stretch in Bills history like the 18 before Josh. Late 60s to early 70s; just came off the AFL success. Late 70s; playoffs (with success) sprinkled on either side and then early to mid 80s; the super bowls followed that 18 year period after the music city was brutal. 2 winning seasons, barely; 1 win above .500. No playoffs. The only consistency was bad or average footbal teams after Wade bounced the HC gig. Don’t like to use “deserving” as it really is a form of entitlement but man, you deserve to see them hoist the title if it’s been 50+ for you. That’s almost all the worst parts of our history you’ve supported. Whilst I hope history repeating doesn’t ever happen, I do hope to emulate the passion fans like you, my father and other lifers of the team have given at an unwavering state. Appreciate you being a long cornerstone of the franchise!

I bet you it’s… lit!

The complete opposite lol

Listen man, a fan who hops on the bandwagon is no less a fan than the ones who stuck through the tough times. But the ones that still support, in their entirety as much during the dark days as they do the successful ones are the truest. The team is in your veins. Literally a part of you. All Bills’ fan are deserving of Josh and a Lombardi. But that rings truer for those who endured the last 20 years without falter.

Smart man. Truly the sign of greatness. Doesn’t like losing at anything.

Bernard and Benford are good shouts too. The whole team played great.

Don’t think we lose that game in any way shape or form but it was pretty much mailed in the moment CMC went off and was designated as unlikely to return. You, ideally, can’t get down multiple scores against any team in the NFL but against Josh and this team? You’re cooked. They’re just too good.

Outside of the usual suspects? Knox, Groot and Rapp.

He should. He’s been matched up against a backup in poor weather. He’s got all the tools and talent to be a stalwart talent.

The 4 run was my first memories I can remember from watching the sport as a child. Those losses are remembered more than any of the 56 wins during that 4 year period. Josh has certainly eased the pain from that and the drought year periods. Truly a saint and a savior for our franchise!

CMC did it right after he arrived in San Fran Edit: Tirico just said that after I hit send lol CMC & LT for San Diego incase you missed what he said. Josh first QB ever to though 👀

We really are a blessed franchise.
