    He missed a few tackles to my eyes and his attempt to behead Prescott was the kind of stupid play that could’ve really cost his team in a closer game.

    But maybe in this one, it sent a message

    Opening line Bills -14 over chargers. 

    Hope the Chargers saved some of their suckitude for Saturday !

  2. Enough NFL rules benefit the offense. The rule is fine and shouldn’t be changed. The point of football is to move the football across the gridiron and eventually across the opposing goal line. If you happen to lose possession before the goal line and the ball goes out of bounds you’re in luck - possession goes to the offense. If you lose possession and neither score nor lose it before the goal line is reached ( “ through “ the opposing end zone ) your possession ends. Makes perfect sense . Don’t like it ? It’s simple -don’t fumble.

    Remember the days when we punted once a game?  What happened?  

    We stopped scoring on almost every drive, getting tons of first downs and going for it if we came up short in no man’s land. 3 and outs were almost unheard of.

    Yeah, I'm more focused on the division now.  We just need to gain one more game.

     

    The real irony is...Miami could lose their next three games and still win the East if they beat us Week 18.

    Nothing ironic about it. The Bills put themselves in this spot by losing games to teams they shouldn’t - Pats, Denver , Jets. The Dolphins, up until their meltdown vs TEN had handled the lesser teams consistently. The Bills have a shot at the division now, but very little margin for error. The Fish have a tough schedule , but can afford a couple losses. Should be interesting down the stretch.

    Do you have any idea what would happen on this site if the Bills made a play like that, got flagged on it, play called back and they lost the game?  Be real.. the pitchforks would be out in full force along with the “ITS RIGGED!” signs.  I get it.. everything is perfectly fine as long as the Bills benefit from bad calls.  

    Eh , no. Now, the mob would be out in full force calling for the offending player to be cut immediately etc. The coaching staff would also be skewered for allowing the players to be undisciplined- heck there would be calls for the GM to be fired. Uncalled penalties would also be a topic, but the penalty itself is plain as day. He may as well have been lined up alongside Miller. Easy call, and the great Mahomes had 3 more tries after the penalty to get a first down.

    Going into Kansas City and winning isn’t blowing anything and should give a huge reason for confidence. Aside from Toney being Offside, they also should’ve been called for offensive pass interference on the pick that freed Kelce to being wide open. 

    Exactly.  Since when does the opponent making errors in execution negatively impact your win ? It’s often the difference between victory and defeat.

    Look I love a potential December Dolphins meltdown as much as anyone, but it means nothing unless the Bills keep winning.

     

    The Bills play the Cowboys this week. We (the fanbase) got caught too much in "well let's look at the end of the year implications". One game at a time

    The fan base looking ahead at implications has absolutely zero impact on how the Bills perform vs Dallas on Sunday.

    The pick was bad. But on a day where our o line, wrs and offensive coordinator all had there worst games of the season, Josh found a way. 

     

    No other QB in the league wins that game today. 

    How bad was it, though? The replay showed he had an open receiver in front of a defender.  Now, Josh never saw the intercepting player lurking to the side and that’s definitely on him. Mahomes , on the other hand tried to complete a pass through Epenesa , who was right in his face. The ball was predictably batted up by AJ, who also came down with the INT. You probably won’t hear much about that play, though.

    Refs will often tell wr's to move back from the line of scrimmage. It's done quite often.

    '

    Usually they will .. IF the WR looks over at them to check. Toney never did this and was so far offside it was ridiculous. Had to be called , but if he looked over they likely would have let him know

    For at least three years is what I heard in the radio the other day 

    Not quite. The potential is there but it doesn’t look like the Bills will unite hold up their end of the deal. It’s worked out the way it has ( all games at KC) because the Bills and Chiefs finished in the same respective place in their divisions. It’s not looking too likely that the Chiefs and Bills will do this in 2023 ( it could still happen just doesn’t seem likely). That would currently mean the Bills wouldn’t play the Chiefs in 2024 and would get Denver instead. Still 4 games to go, so this could change.

    That is part of it, but Purdy also has ridiculous skill players who can take it to the house on any play. Allen has to play perfect football to win. Purdy was solid but he did not do a lot on those three-yard passes to Deebo and McCaffrey that they turned into huge gains. I think part of it is a defense problem, the other part of it is a talent issue. Diggs is a really good player, but he is route running technician....He isn't going to catch a slant, break three tackles, stiff-arm a guy, and dive into the endzone. We need offensive skill talent. 

    The Bills skill positions aren’t as talented as SF’s. However, aside from a few self inflicted wounds and a lousy call they were easily in position to hang 40 on the PHL defense. The Bills D crumbled in crunch time rather than slammed the door on the Eagles. The Bills O may not be the Niners, but they’re more than talented enough.

    This isn’t entirely true. John Rauch, Lou Saban II, Chuck Knox, and Marv Levy were all at or near the top of head coaching salaries. And at one time or another he had the highest paid players at their respective positions in the league, not the least of which was Kelly who he made the highest paid player in history at the time. 
     

    He often rewarded successful coaches and players. Had any of his cheaper coaching hires had panned out, he would have awarded them as well, imo. 

    I mentioned Knox and Levy already. Ralph rarely opened up the wallet for a “ name brand” coach. He did with Knox and it was one of the few successful eras of the team under his ownership. Pegulas have had 2 hires and are 1-1 in that department. Perhaps they’d be successful with a new hire if they moved on from McD.

    A ton of them do, and to a degree, you can't blame them.


    Most of the HC hires we have made going back over 50 years have been dog crap.

     

    Bills fans assume that is the way it must be, because that is the way it always was.

     

    They need to realize there is another way.

     

     

    To be fair though, most of those hires were made under the ownership of Ralph Wilson. He was notoriously cheap with coaching hires. He only opened up the wallet a couple times and not coincidentally had some success then with Knox and Marv. He was even too cheap to pay Saban.
