    The country was behind the Bills. 

     

    Out of my group of friends and family... Im the only Bills fan (Live/d in Miami most of my life). 

     

    Almost everyone i know reached out to me after that game heartbroken for me lol. 

     

    They all wanted us to win.

     

    I wish the NFL and refs felt the same way.

    Same here and I live in Texas. I took my daughter to the game, her first ever Bills game. We were at the Bills tailgate and she loved how nice everyone was.

    Their sauces are tasty but its the wing cookery that is inconsistent.  They double fry them which I like, but I've had too many lukewarm/cold and soggy wings from Pluckers.

     

     

    I live near Austin and go to a location in Round Rock. I’ve yet to have any cold or like warm wings there.

    Pluckers is very hit or miss but when they're on point they are quite good.  For an authentic buffalo wing, that's the place to go.  Wait times are often in excess of an hour and during peak times, quality suffers. 

     

    On the less conventional side, Hay Merchant smokes their wings (and half the time fries them afterward) which are also great when they're executing (PB&J are my fave there).  Its also a great beer bar with excellent food since its owned by a big time chef.  Dak n Bop (located in the Museum District) serves battered Korean style wings.  Sriracha lime and Buffalo hot are very good.  Fuego's on Washington Ave breads their wings but they are consistently well cooked and crunchy (I loathe rubbery skin). 

     

    Houston is a top notch food city but wings is not something we're known for.  I would strongly encourage you to avoid wings on this trip and opt for something we do well.    

    Pluckers, fire in the hole are actually pretty good. When I go there I ask for extra sauce for my fries

    The Bills sit 7th rushing with basically 140 rushing yards a game but this thread comes in?

     

    I'll tell you a little secret that most teams with similar or better record than ours rush the ball more avg per game wise. Yeah were not trying to be KC who has no D either. 

     

    Gore doesn't have a injury history by any means and has done nothing but bounced McCoy and produced. I'm not even going to question this guy, your straight watching a legend of the game at this point. Enjoy it!

     

    I just want to see Daboll get Devin more involved overall once back. Gore and Devin should both see at least 15 touches a game to actually help Allen develop.

    If you take away Allen’s rushing yards they are closer to the middle of the road. I would prefer Allen to run only when necessary, they are going to get him killed with those designed running plays.

    So while the trade deadline looms overhead we at TBD have been focusing on WR.

     

    Rumors of AJ Green, Stephon Diggs etc swirl about.

     

    The cut of Zay Jones for Duke Williams, and knowing that Robert Foster isn't in the 'doghouse' but has been battling a groin injury for some weeks now tells me the WR room is ok.

    I have faith in Brown, Beasly, McKenzie (Big plays), Williams, Foster and Roberts to assemble as a decent NFL WR Corps. It's a nice mix.

     

    What I don't have faith in is the RB room after a 36 year old Frank Gore. With Gore, McCoy, Singletary and or Yeldon it looked awesome.

    Cut Shady, and injury to Singletary and its been only Gore and Yeldon.

     

    Gore is a stud, he has been a stud and is doing amazing things given his age and opportunity. Yeldon has made some plays and should be given credit for it.

    Neither of these guys, or even Singletary can carry the load. God forbid Gore goes down before Singletary can come back, and even if he does can Yeldon

    and Singletary carry a run game? No they can not. Singletary is a terrific change of pace back. 3 games in he was injured. I was worried about his size and the level

    of his competition coming in.

     

    Buffalo should be looking for a RB, before wearing out Frank Gore and having to rely on Yeldon. Gore is a pefect battering ram at 15 carries a game, but can't carry the load, and Yeldon offers little to nothing as a running RB. A 5th for Ballage or Drake from Miami seems right, even if it's after the game with them. A 4th or 5th to Denver for Lindsay would be fine too.

     

    This new O-Line is designed to mash, but the horses simply aren't in the barn to do it.

     

    RB is a much higher need right now than WR.

     

    my two cents

    Teams that go far in the playoffs usually seem to have two things in common, a strong defense and a strong running game. Obviously the Bills have one of the two. In the little that I’ve seen from Singletary he’s been impressive. But that’s just it, I’ve only seen a little of him. Gore is almost as old as I am. I would feel much better about this team if they had a stronger running game. Who knows how it will look when Singletary comes back but either way if a RB comes available they should strongly consider it.
