Didn’t execute on about 4 offensive plays and rushed 3 on 3rd down and 22. Not much, but just enough to get you beat.

I love Rush, but even they would tell you Tai Shan is the worst song they ever put on an album.

That one wasn’t as questionable as many have made it seem. There were a few questionable hits on Allen earlier in the game that the refs let slide. The one that was called was a full wrap up and takedown well after Josh had clearly thrown the ball. The official ( correctly imo) threw the flag because the defender didn’t need to throw Allen to the ground but did anyway. Just a dumb play. It was a critical point in the game time wise , but it was also first down. That’s a huge difference from Sundays Brady joke call where he was in the pocket and still possessed the ball. For Boger to call that “ unnecessary “ is a travesty as the rules call for tackling the ball carrier.

I concur on Manning vs Brady. As for last season, a win vs Colts would have given the Bills home field vs KC for the playoff game as well. You could actually look at ANY loss the Bills had last year and say that , even an NFC loss though I don’t think they had one. You could put the MNF debacle back New England in there too. Loss to the Jaguars counted the same as all of them. While losing to say, the Packers is not as critical as a head to head to KC, it could still foil the quest for overall HFA.

The AFCW as a division isn’t living up to the prognostications, that’s for sure. I’ve already written that possibility off. By knock them off, I’m referring to the playoffs. A Chiefs loss in a sudden death one game scenario like a playoff game is probably the best chance for the Bills not to face KC in the playoffs this season. A Bills win vs Titans or Colts would have resulted in the same scenario , because the head to head win is the first tiebreaker. They were a VERY big deal in the Bills not having home field for the playoff matchup.

The Bills went to Arrowhead last year because they didn’t have a tied record with the Chiefs, so the head to head didn’t come into play. Pinning it on one particular loss is silly. They were blown out by the Colts, lost at TEN etc. A different outcome in any of those games would have counted just as much in the final standings.

I’d actually prefer another team knocks KC off. I want the Bills to have the best chance of winning a championship game at home in January. I can’t get on board with that best chance scenario including Pat Mahomes on the opposing sideline.

That’s what happens when you’re good.

I agree. I’d venture that Dorsey, McD, Frazier et al worked on things in the offseason for 2 games : LA opener and this week.

I get the point, I just disagree ( maybe) on the value. Yes a lot of unrealistic suggestions on this board. I don’t think he fetches a 2nd if moved though. It won’t be a 6th either : that’s ridiculous.

It definitely is. He’s an elite player, just at a somewhat devalued position in todays game. That has an effect on value.

Me too. I mean there’s nothing wrong about what he said on its face. It just gives you a little window into who the person is inside. I want my QB to be cocky on the field - and Josh is, but I believe he has some humility too. No one would turn down having a great QB on their favorite team and I’d be no different with Mahomes. I just like Josh better on the field and his personality. Mahomes has to make himself the center of attention, even when paying another player a compliment - he brings it back to himself . I get the impression he feels compelled to outdo Josh week by week with TD #s etc. etc. It just makes Josh an even easier guy to root for and Im glad he’s the Bills QB.

WR, pass rusher , elite DB… apples to oranges here. RB just not a premiere position in NFL anymore.

It’ll be white on white , but no White.

Bills have ( or had) the best 3rd down % in the league on offense as of last week. They should be fine in that dept.

In strictly mathematical terms yes. But again, the reverse was true after last years meeting in October. Neither the Bills or the Chiefs ended up the #1 seed. It’s just too soon in October to say what is “ likely” to happen in 10 more weeks of NFL football games. As fans we like to think it is, but all too often it just isn’t. If it was, we’d all be making a million dollars per year on Caesar’s. So do I. DVRs are a great thing.

Suffice it to say any Bills fan could have checked the formulated home/ away schedule for 2022 5 years ago -with only terms such as “AFCW first and 3rd place finisher away” used instead of actual team names. It’s also likely that in 2017 none of them would have cared. Then Josh Allen happened.

I’m seeing -2.5 Bills

Doesn’t bode well for next week either. Probably, but who cares? It’s the Faiders

Call was legit. Came down with his weight on top of Carr. Now the one on Brady? Clean , textbook QB sack while he’s in the pocket.

Always thought the mythical “ trap” game was outside the division .

Mahomes and Carr are not in the same universe. Can always hope though.

And yet it happened .. just a season ago. The Bills were surely a lock for the #1 seed because they won a game in October… until they weren’t. It’s a big game, but far from the last word on playoff seeding for the 2022 season.

Ummm it’s October, and they already have a loss to the Colts ?

Fine with Vivid Seats. Usu lower fees than Seatgeek or Hub. Prob not as low as Ticketmaster though.
