I go back to the play calling and game plan against Houston, in not working. In the Bills second series, they ran for 6 yards on first down and then a negative-2 yard pass to Shakir (the dreaded WR screen?) Then a 2-yard run and a punt. Cook had 17 carries for 116 yards at a 6.8 yard per carry average in that game, and yet Joe Brady called for 34 passes. Not just any passes, but mid to deep passes with minimal pass protection against a great defensive front. That's what went wrong in that game. If the play calls were similar to what he called against the Steelers I'd wager it's a win.

GO Dart...Go G-men...GO Giants and beat those pasties!

Number one in my book!

The only stadium I've ever been in that the fans in the upper deck relieve themselves over the railing upon other fans below...

Someone please explain to me why Mike Tomlin is so great? In 2007, the guy inherited a #1 defense with legendary Dick LeBeau at DC, Big Ben at QB with Bruce Arians as OC. In his 19 years as HC of the Steelers, he won only one SB, and that was in 2008. Tomlin has never had a losing season in those 19 years, and he has a winning percentage of .625. Pittsburgh fans were chanting "fire Tomlin" at their stadium Sunday. Currently, their offense is in the 15s, and the defense is in the 20s, yet it is the most expensive defense in the NFL. Speaking of long-term head coaches. John Harbaugh, in his 18 years as HC of the Ravens. Now this man inherited a 5-11 lousy team with both the offense, defense in the 20s. However, he did inherit a LBer named Ray Lewis. In 2012, he won an SB with Joe Flacco at QB. No Super Bowls since then, and I'm suspecting it was because all AFC teams were blocked by Tom Brady and the Patriots. In that 2012 season, they beat NE. Baltimore drafted Lamar Jackson the same year as Josh Allen in 2018, and Jackson is a two-time MVP. Harbaugh has a winning percentage of .618% NOW, the team that has been blocking all AFC teams from advancing to the SB has been the Kansas City Chiefs, save for one year, in which the Bengals got in and lost in 2021. The thing is, at the end of this season, TE Travis Kelce might retire, and HC Andy Reid might retire too. Which would make the Chiefs just another team. Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has a winning percentage in his 9 seasons of .657%. That said, this year's Buffalo Bills are built for cold weather with that #1 in the NFL rushing team. They play Cincy, at NE, at Cleveland, Philly, and the NY Jets. Then, every one of those games will be played in cold weather, and possibly in the snow. Perfect for this team.

The Buffalo Bills biggest nemesis finally fell on their face this year, and what stinks is Buffalo is behind the Patriots now. While New England had a 4th-place schedule, and Buffalo had a 1st-place schedule. You know what, the season isn't over yet. Right now, Denver has home-field advantage throughout and has a better defense.

Well, I was going to start a new thread called "WINTER IS COMING"! Because what we all saw against the Steelers is exactly what's needed going forward. That Pittsburgh front defensive line is no joke, and this team outright manhandled them while rushing for 249 yards against that team in their stadium. You know what can stop a top passing offense? That howling, blustery wind in Rich-the Ralph, err, New Era stadium is known as one of the worst venues if the winds are strong, and the snow? Does anyone else recall that Colts game a few years ago? "And pretty alarming for Pittsburgh (6-6). On a blustery day that made passing treacherous, the Steelers knew they were going to be tested by one of the NFL's best rushing teams. They failed repeatedly. Buffalo held the ball for nearly 42 minutes and probably could have taken control earlier if not for a pair of first-half turnovers." "The swirling winds at one of the league's trickiest venues made passing nearly impossible for both teams. Allen completed 15 of 23 for 123 yards with an interception and a 3-yard scoring toss to Keon Coleman, who returned to the active roster after being a healthy scratch the last two weeks due to disciplinary issues." https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap/_/gameId/401772789

Yep, and Cook was the leading receiver!

With two new O tackles too!

Along with the two replacement tackles!

Just win Baby!

and they're both autistic...

The Bengals will destroy this team next week, and they might win another game...what happened to my beloved Buffalo Bills?

This 1000%. That and the EIGHT sacks in one game and the turnovers this year. I'm sorta terrified for Josh Allen against the Cleveland Browns with Brady as OC. Miles Garrett will have 8 sacks by himself in this game.

Allen is not floundering, his OC is tho
