I feel so guilty. You guys are flying in for the game and I live about 10 minutes from the stadium and I'm not going. You shouldn't catch too much grief from the locals. They are used to being invaded by Steelers fans and Cubs games at GABP are like Leafs games at KBC.
I'm local too and not going (but hitting the tailgate at 4) - Go Bills!!

We just need to go on a 5-game winning streak starting tomorrow!!

I actually think Knox might have been told to get down before the EZ if he had the first - if you look at the play it almost looks like he tries to slide as soon as he catches it - but he was already in the EZ.
True, also they may have wanted Josh to end on a good note with a TD pass. I wouldn't view that as running up the score to be obnoxious.

I don’t agree with this characterization. The three close losses to the Jets, Dolphins and Vikings are completely balanced by the tight wins against the Lions, Ravens and Chiefs. The way small sample variance goes we could be anywhere between 9-6 and 15-0, so 12-3 represents the team’s accomplishments well.I see what you "mean"!

Chicago Bears Inactives
Equanimeous St. Brown, WR
Trevon Wesco, TE
Chase Claypool, WR
Tim Boyle, QB
Teven Jenkins, RG
Cody Whitehair, LG
Angelo Blackson, DT
Chicago’s offensive line is going to have two new guards.
Fields will be running for his life (and hopefully mostly contained). GO BILLS!!

Wishing all who celebrate a Merry Christmas - Also wishing those in the greater Bflo area health and safety during the blizzard!! It's bitterly cold here in Cincy but nothing near the level that Bflo is dealing with. Go Bills - Crush Da Bears!!!!

Do whatever it takes to win - I don't care who gets the ball. I do wonder though if a "less open" Diggs is a better target than a "more open" Davis or McKenzie? Who knows?

Wrap your head around this for a second. It is forecasted to be 50 degrees warmer in Chicago next Saturday. Can’t catch a scheduling break this year. Guess we’ll just have to win!
That's nuts!! Weather for Cincy game should be good, though, with a chance of rain.

Milano for sure and Knox or Cook

I'm local but don't know the area too well. Montgomery Inn famous for ribs. OTR (Over the Rhine) area is great for bars/restaurants. Good casino (Hard Rock) downtown if you're into that (I'm a pretty big poker player, so FYI they have a nice poker room). I'm likely going to game with my 12 and 15 yr old kids . . .

The actual temperature and crazy low wind chill, in and of itself, wouldn't be a reason to adjust the timing or location of the game.
But blizzard/dangerous driving conditions in/around Chicago at the worst time, or even around Buffalo if impacts ability to travel to Chicago, could be a reason to adjust the game IMHO.

The Bills D has been terrible on 4th down stops in the aggregate, however.
You're right - We've been below average this year overall, and right about average for 2020 and 2021 (I checked the stats). I'm sure there are a lot of factors impacting the average. To my eye, the Bills D has generally been good this year in short yardage situations - Maybe 4th downs are an exception to that or that I'm focusing more on recent games?
-
Fourth down stops are big plays for sure - Often similar in magnitude/implications as a turnover.

# 1 Seed will matter for three reasons in my opinion.
1. The obvious which is a bye week and an extra week to get healthy.
2. Avoiding the Chiefs and Bengals in Round 2.
3. That 2nd seed is going to end up playing either Miami or the Jets. The last two teams id want to face in Round 1. The Jets have the best defense in the AFC and can cause problems for any offense. The Dolphins can catch lightning in a bottle and take off at any point and have a dline that can get after the QB. Neither team has the horses to make a Superbowl run, but both sure as heck can steal a game vs. anyone in the AFC.
Corollary to 1. above (obvious, of course): You are 1 of 8 teams left at (your) start of the tournament rather than 1 of 14 (also meaning need to win one less game) - That is a huge advantage!

I don't understand how you can make the first observation and then make the 2nd, 3rd, perhaps 4th, 5th, and 6th.
Last off-season on offense McBeane were all about reducing Josh's carries and here we are back to needing him to run to manufacture offense again.
They whiffed on the UFA OL signings and they're still not strong running the ball. Cook may catch passes, but you want more from a 2nd round RB. Sum is that the running game is still not good and they lack the 3rd receiver. Perhaps they're trying to make up for it with better pass-catching RBs but they've also spent a lot getting those guys.
They are 11-3, but seeing them scrape by against Miami at home is a harbinger of things to come in the playoffs. Miami is no pushover, but Buffalo is likely to face better (KC, CIN) in the playoffs at some point
You do realize Josh threw 4 TD passes last night, correct? And for over 300 yards? I'm not saying it's ideal that he's our leading rusher, but he's also throwing alot of TD passes.

You know what I was saying.
I remember loving to play pickup in the snow. Looks fluffy fun, until 30 minutes in and snow in your crotch, can’t feel toes, you bang on the frozen ground.Or in my case, playing tackle football in the snow in HS during "indoor" track and getting my jaw broken while trying to block for a German exchange student - Fun times!!

Lmao, it doesn’t have be your kid it could be a niece or nephew or even a very close cousin. Lol it’s just more exciting when ya have someone to cheer for.
I'm sure that's true - Even now, I get more stressed watching my 12-yr old son play in a tennis tournament vs watching a nail-biter Bills game - Blood is indeed thicker than water for sure!

I'm going to attend my grandson's graduation from Ohio State University and wonder if there's a place where my son and I can catch the Bills game on Saturday night. Thx in advance.
Congrats on your son's graduation!! A big Bills win could make for a perfect weekend for you and your family!!

He's healthy presumably and will be highly motivated to show he can still play at a high level - And he's a "safety blanket" kind of player for Josh. The more I chew on it, the more I like it. Little downside but plenty of upside.

Interesting move - At a minimum, it'll shake up the WR locker room. Hope it doesn't create friction, but it obviously sends a message that the team is a meritocracy: you'll only see the field if you play competently. Go Bills! And I can quickly forget all the non-football BS

It was late in the 4th Q. So, I can understand kicking the FG and making it a one score game again. Time wasn't on the Jets side at that point.
I actually think the lack of time made it a more egregious error to not go for the 8 points in that spot. Not much time to get that close again - Need to trust the offense to get 1 or more yards there - And find out sooner than later whether the 2-pointer is going to work. I mean, the outcome of a L is highly likely no matter what but seems like a golden opportunity to go for the 8 points there was squandered.

They're doing what it takes to win. Their mantra is to go "1-0" every week - That's the right mindset. Lots of positives yesterday, including no turnovers and minimal, if any, injuries. Defense was on fire and offense scored 20 (with crappy weather 1st half and against an elite D) and played conservatively at the end to protect the lead. And looking back at recent games, the Lions are a much better team than given credit for, and we played them at their house on a 4-game winning streak IIRC. All that said, complementary (notice the spelling) football will mean the O stepping up if the D lets a team like the Chiefs roll on O. So the concerns expressed about the recent O performance make sense in the context of a game like that. Go Bills!!

Week 17: Bills at Bengals on MNF
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Such a huge game with so much hype and discussion - It's going to be a great game and I agree it is likely to be anxiety provoking. Two minor points that are a little under the radar: 1) This is like a playoff game with its implications and atmosphere - McD hasn't won a road playoff game - Let's end that streak tonight (so we likely won't need to play any actual road playoff games this year except for SB) and 2) These teams haven't played each other in ages - This game will be important for both teams as prep for when they are likely to face each other again later this month. GO BILLS!!
