  1. Todays game and effort hurts, but this is a great season overall which exceeded expectations. They will be good for years to come,but I am worried about them being second fiddle to KC. Buffalo needs someone on the defense who can make the same impact that Diggs did on the offense this year.
  2. Im not saying that it made a difference in this game, but someone needs to call KC out on these "injuries" where everyone is miraculously better two or three plays later.
  3. I feel like Buffalo is playing to cover a 3 touchdown point spread instead of playing to win. This is very disappointing.
  4. Buffalo has a knack for staying close in games where they should be getting blown out. 9 points is not that bad if they can make adjustments. So far, I get the same vibe that I did in super bowl's 26 through 28 though. Hopefully, I am wrong and they turn it around.
  5. I agree with this. If Watkins had been a late first round or a second round pick, he would have been viewed as a pretty good injury prone receiver who moved on but played well here when he wasn't hurt. The fact that he cost two first round picks in a class that had so many good receivers including three potential hall of famers in Adams, Evans and Beckham will always give him a not fully warranted label as an underachiever.
  6. Now it becomes an interesting question again when asking who the best QB in the 2018 draft class is. Last year it was Jackson without question, now in my opinion, Allen has the stronger case. Still plenty of career left for both, but it is interesting how quickly things can change.
  7. The wind made it tough for both teams and the defense had by far their best effort of the year. I am 100% happy with the win.
  8. Collinsworth and off-base inaccurate statements about teams go together like peas and carrots.
  9. Williams would be my choice if it was an injury half way thorough the season, but being a playoff game I would go with Yeldon. Less exciting and less upside, but a proven veteran who can pass block and make catches out of the backfield.
  10. Many people always said during the years of bad ref calls against Buffalo that the good teams can overcome bad officiating. We finally have a team that is good enough to do that. I am much happier about the win than I am mad at the call, but this does need to be looked at further by the league. A playoff team is tough enough to beat on their own.
  11. Same here. This had a chance to become part of the hard luck narrative for the bills right alongside wide right and the homerun throwback, but fortunately the defense stepped up. It should have never been allowed to stand and those refs need to be pulled from doing more playoff games.
  12. A little of both. Indy was better than many of us gave them credit for, but this was nowhere near the best that Buffalo can do.
  13. There were people being paid to write that still thought Darnold was a better overall QB than Allen just six short months ago. That just tells you how quickly things can change in the NFL sometimes.
  14. Hopefully that was Buffalo getting their bad week out of the way and returning back to form for the rest of the playoffs.
  15. Even though we won, the ref that made the awful call to keep that down on contact after making us all wait while watching netflix in that booth for what seemed like an hour still needs to be fired.
  16. Well, now that I've aged about ten years in the last hour, I think I will try to take a nap..
  17. Indy reminds me of our team last year where they can pretty much get the job done against the middle and lower tier teams but fall short against the better ones. Their defense is one of the better ones in the NFL, but Buffalo has shredded four good defenses over the last four games. Their offense is a middle of the road one so our defense is more than capable of containing them. Anything is possible in the playoffs, but the only way that I see Buffalo losing this is if they play uncharacteristically bad on both sides of the ball.
  18. I remember watching that game and hearing him say that live. Considering his appearance on that picture and that fact that he was 6'5, I think that 245 pounds was quite a generous estimation of his weight at that moment.
  19. Pretty much everyone besides Wallace and Moss but if I had to narrow it down, I would give it to Allen for having a mistake free game and arguably his best game as a pro.
  20. Fair enough, but sometimes a high draft pick that does not work out initially needs a change of scenery. Jerry Hughes is an example that comes to mind, he was a 1st round pick who was considered a bust for the Colts before being traded to Buffalo. This is only Baker's second year. Besides the character issue, he is not a bad risk for a low price and no worse of an option that Norman or Worley at this point.
  21. I think White has been good overall this year, it just doesn't show as much the players around him have not been performing. The defense is not the same overall but I am not panicking about them yet. There was no preseason for the new players to get used to the team and I think that this effected their overall bad play(although Klein is coming around). They are also playing some of the top offenses in the NFL this year. Hopefully Buffalo can get healthy and make adjustments in the bye week.
  22. The schedules Buffalo-Chargers, 49ers, Steelers, Broncos, Patriots, Dolphins Miami-Broncos, Bengals, Jets, Chiefs, Patriots, Raiders, Bills. I do not see that much of a difference. True, the Dolphins have a Jets game left, but they still have 7 games while we have 6. Both have one very tough game left in the Steelers for us and Chiefs for them. I do not think that the Bengals or Raiders will be push overs for them. The Dolphins have made it interesting, but this is far from a foregone conclusion. It is still our division to lose.
  23. 99 times out of 100 we are celebrating because Allen overcame his worst game of the year with a very clutch 2 minute drive. Just some very bad luck, Buffalo has to clean some things up during the bye week, but overall I am not worried.
  24. No other WR in the league today besides Hopkins would have caught that. The loss sucks but if you told me after the second Jets game that Buffalo would have taken two of the three against New England, Arizona and Seattle, I would have been happy. Miami is beginning to worry me, but Buffalo still plays them and currently has the tiebreaker. This is still Buffalo's division to lose.
  25. I would personally rather see Brady fail because of his overall personality and for him also bringing Gronk and Antonio Brown there. I think the best compromise for this would be to have both of them do terrible for the rest of the year.
