If the Raiders win, I think there’s a really good chance we play the Monday night game. They’d pitch it as the rubber game of the match. So give me the Chargers so we have the extra day or two to prepare for the Chiefs.

I go back to the Rockpile days, and sat through many a windy day. It is odd to get two so close together.

Devin having a good day has nothing to do with Josh. We had like 6 drives in a row where we didn’t do squat. We can’t have that in the playoffs. Josh is a great player and I believe he will win us a Super Bowl. But he is not immune from criticism, and this is two games in a row where he has not played well.

Yes and yes.

Good: D line Bad: Josh. Hope he got it out of his system

Always been like that in the winter months. The stadium being basically underground allow the wind to blow through.

I’m convinced Josh is sick.

I would put Mitch in. Josh isn’t there today; no sense in risking him getting hurt.

We have reached the point of absurdity.

Josh must be sick or something. This makes no sense.

What was that? Call a time out to punt?

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

Some of it is time constraints between plays

In general folks are way too critical of announcers. It is not the easiest job in the world, and if God forbid one is critical of the Bills then they automatically stink. The color guys by and large have played the game at the NFL level, and like it or not they know a helluva lot more about football than 99+% of folks on this board. Last week was an example. Sanchez was critical of Josh. And guess what? Josh didn’t play very well last week.

When they win the Super Bowl, I presume you already have your criticism ready to go?

I am guarded. The offense can roll over teams, especially given that Motir has picked up the pace. But the defense still allows too many second half drives to let the opposition get close. When we go up the D should stomp on the other team’s neck, but too often they walk right down the field.

Josh is our guy and will be the guy for a long time. But he did not play well Sunday. It is OK to acknowledge that without getting all butt hurt that Sanchez or whomever offered criticism. The end zone pick was a terrible decision, and he went back to his habit of trying to go downfield vs. taking the more open underneath throws as he did against the Pats the week before. A guy of Josh’s caliber should never have below 50% completion and as low a QB rating as he had. Happens to the best of them every once in a while, I’m sure Josh would be the first to say he didn’t play well, and I’m equally sure he won’t have that kind of performance again anytime soon.

Raiders first. I think we would destroy them. Then the Pats. A rookie QB in the Ralph for the playoffs? I'll take that all day. Colts scare me, they ran all over us and we'd have to load the box and take our chances with Wentz, and if he happens to have his head out of his butt that day....

Interesting stats from Shaw, not surprisingly. It’s OK for Bills fans to acknowledge that Josh stunk throwing the ball last Sunday. I suspect he’d be the first to say the same. But his uniqueness as far as a running threat also won the game. Josh still needs to work on taking what defenses give him. He was great at that against the Pats, but wasn’t against the Falcons.

Drop it because they’re not going to build one.

He stunk throwing it today. It’s OK to acknowledge that. Josh would likely be the first guy to agree. It’s a good omen that we still scored 29 points even though he stunk.

Tony Dungy said it right tonight: no team should sign him until he gets the help he obviously needs.

Our D seldom makes a stop when they really need it.

I just realized they’re not showing any other scores on the telecast?
