The Wiffs OMG NO!

It's because the Jets RBs have to be licking their chops at the Buffalo defense? That Bills D has got to play better and control the LoS, and the secondary is still a big question mark. This could be a let-down game, and because it's a division game, it's really more important than the Ravens game. Buffalo needs this game to stay ahead of KC and the rest of the AFC. Home-field advantage throughout is something Buffalo hasn't had in a long time.

So well said! I've lived through that 17-year drought with bad head coaches and GMs. So, when Bills fans start talking stuff about firing this GM and or HC, it gets to me! This is arguably the best head coach and GM this NFL franchise has ever had, and some fans simply don't have the patience to see it through. Josh Allen wasn't this great his first few seasons, and he gets better every year. They will get to an SB or more and win one. These HC & GM were rookies when hired in Buffalo, and not to mention that they didn't inherit a HoF pass rusher and QB like Marv Levy, Bill Polian happened to do. Nor have they drafted early in the draft because of fielding a bad team. Josh Allen didn't fall to them, as this GM knew what he needed and traded up to the #7 spot to get him. No question if they redid that 2018 NFL draft today, so many clubs would be vying to get a hold of Allen...most, if not every club? It really is remarkable what this GM and HC have built in Buffalo. Joey Bose stated that after that Sun night win against the Ravens, he has never been as happy after a win, a ten-year vet. After the game in the locker room, he went around and shook the hands of all the offensive players because he stated he knew the defense was carried in that game.

The Ravens have four first-round picks starting in their secondary! On another note, guess who plays Baltimore next week? The factory of sadness in Baltimore and the Ravens are getting +12.

Wiggins nearly tore Coleman's jersey off on that 2pt conversion...with a no call by the refs. Perhaps a good thing, as the game ended perfectly.

Wonder if Cleveland is thinking, "We should have signed Prater"!

Such an emotional win, near tears in the last five minutes. What a way to start the season!

The Ravens have four first-round picks starting in their secondary.

The only thing that matters is the W, and what a W...next!

Some of you should feel so darn foolish in complaining ALL...GAME...LONG! Only to win one of the best comeback games evah! Did they fire McD & Beane yet?

Did they fire McClappy yet?

He is my kicker in fantasy... unfortunately.

If he does, it might just save his arse. Makes no sense to me why they kept him after last season. He must have some juicy pics?

Doubtful, as I think he's lost the locker room to get beaten that badly by Daniel Jones!

Jests lose...smelly fish lose...patsies lose!!

NFL redzone is smoking hot right now! Jests...

Factory of sadness is the correct term. Will Cleveland ever be a good team? Even with all those early draft picks, they still stink.

The Colts game is kind of shocking...good to see the Dolphins so bad though. Hopefully, the Jests and patsies lose, too.

In my view, it wasn't Marv Levy who didn't have the team properly prepared. It was a few things that worked against the Bills. First, it was that Levy / Marchibroda allowed QB Jim Kelly to call his own plays, and he should have called more runs with Thurman Thomas, who had 15 rushes for 135 yards. Buffalo should have won that first SB, no question, as I think they were 21-point favorites going into that game. They had already beaten the Giants in their home, Giants Stadium, 17-13, with Jim Kelly getting hurt and Frank Reich coming in for the win. The Giants just destroyed the Bills in time of possession 40:33 to 19:27, by playing keep away with O.J. Anderson running it. This was the Buffalo Bills' weakest area as they built their defense for stopping the pass with smaller, quicker players. During their season, Buffalo would get the lead by running the ball, passing, and scoring, and then let their fierce pass rush with Bruce Smith and Biscuit go wild after the QB. That didn't happen... out-coached perhaps? After that initial SB, another issue was that Buffalo was so beaten up injury-wise wise just winning the AFC was a tough chore. Against Denver in the AFC Championship game, the Bills' offensive line was so decimated by injuries that TE Pete Metzelaars was needed to play tackle. One of those years, the NFL decided to shorten the time between the Championship game and SB by a week, and this also hurt Buffalo badly. Against the Washington Redskins, and before the game, the Buffalo Bills' O-line coach, Chuck Dickerson, before Super Bowl XXVI, Dickerson mocked the Washington Redskins' famed offensive line, "The Hogs", in a television interview. Dickerson said Redskins tackle Joe Jacoby was "a Neanderthal -- he slobbers a lot, he probably kicks dogs in his neighborhood." He also said tackle Jim Lachey "has bad breath. Players will fall down without him even touching them. Redskins coach Joe Gibbs got his hands on some tapes of Dickerson and played them at a team meeting on the night before the game, and by all accounts, it was a factor in the Redskins' 37–24 thumping of the Bills. Levy later described the interview as "the girder that brought down the building. Levy fired Dickerson three days after the game. It was simply a nightmare matchup of defensive schemes for Buffalo when they faced teams with really good offensive lines. It didn't help that Kelly was concussed and kept playing in one game. Different times, man, different times.

For me, it was Bruce Smith tackling Hostetler in the end zone...that backup QB just curled up around the ball and took the safety. Because the starting QB, Phil Simms, was out injured, nobody thought the NY Giants had a chance. Plus, Buffalo must have missed the previous Giants game where they beat the Niners 13-15 at SF. Holding Joe Montana to 190 yards passing and one TD. That Giant defense was #1 in points allowed, #2 in yards allowed that season. If they had only run Thurman more than 15 times, in which he had 135 yards for those attempts.

I like it!

Yea, Terry is the hockey guy, and Kim was the one who wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills, as she grew up in Rochester, Fairport/Pittsford, I forget. She was a Buffalo Bills fan. Terry liked the Detroit Lions. My thoughts are that both of them talked to prospects and decided on Rex Ryan. I also believe that Kim has been more instrumental in how they hired McD. If you have followed the Buffalo Bills' success, you would see that Terry has been heavily involved in every aspect of the team. The draft, training camp, practices, and games. This is what concerns me because he is so overly involved in everything having to do with the Buffalo Bills. The very last thing I want to see in Buffalo is another Jerry Jones. It could be...now he thinks he is a football guy!

Rex Ryan took the best defensive front in the NFL and ruined it by changing over to "his" scheme. Buffalo, under DC Schwartz, had the best pass rush and sacks in the NFL. Ryan changed that to have the D linemen dropping into pass coverage so the crappy LBers could rush the passer. The man is a walking, talking wart!

My issue is that we have already seen the choice that this owner made when he first hired Rex Ryan. Looking at his "hands-on" with the Sabres, does anyone here trust him to find anyone anywhere near as good as Beane and McD? I certainly don't, and it would take something monumentally bad to happen for this owner to change the HC in Buffalo. So basically...IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. He found a diamond in the rough in both Beane and McDermott as both were first-timers at their respective jobs. Look at all the coaches Buffalo went through to find McD, and he brought in Brandon Beane. Seventeen years, man, seventeen years! Look at all the coaches the Dolphins, Jets, and Patriots went through to find their stars. So many Bills fans wanted desperately to hire Bill Belichick to replace McD when he was fired in NE. How's that looking now?

Does anyone remember the 2023 season? The Buffalo Bills were 6-6 at one point, and the Miami Dolphins were 9-3. Things were looking pretty bleak for the Bills to win the division that season. While Josh Allen is great...the team was still 6-6 with Diggs getting most of the passes. It is a team sport, and all facets of the team matter! McD stood up and made a change at OC that went against what a lot of the players wanted at the time. Buffalo finished first at 11-6 and won the division. Buffalo swept the Dolphins, winning that last game of the season. In my view, this franchise has been so freaking close to getting to the Super Bowl the last five seasons, and the team keeping them out has mostly been the Chiefs. The winningest NFL team over the last five years. Some Buffalo Bills fans are just so darn miserable that all they want to do is cry in their beer because the team hasn't made it to the Super Bowl recently. Why not relish the fact that the team has been on the verge of getting to the big dance nearly every season. P.S. In 2021, the Baltimore Ravens lost a ton of players due to injuries and went 8-9 that season. Crap happens! It's kind of foolish to blame that season on the HC or GM. Every season since then, they have also been vying for an SB berth. I can't even imagine what this board would plunge into if this year's Buffalo team had a losing season.
