Bills have done pretty good the times they do go for it on 4th down. Sure there are few times they didn't convert, but I wouldn't say that's why they lost games. McD has confidence in the offense and they convert more often than not

Sure but not talking about cutting in snow. Poster I quoted said snow isn't good for "speedy" backs. Hence my response about McCoy

Yeah not sure how it will go down, but if weather is really bad Daboll will pretty much have to run the ball a lot. Although never know with him. But Breida clearly makes a difference in the run game imo. So yeah, with OL back I'm excited to see how Breida does changing it up with his speed. McCoy seemed to do pretty well in it,

Yeah he's been playing great. Their Dline in general have been playing well for that matter. Good thing our OL will be back for this game. At least gives Bills a better chance

They keep playing like they have been last few weeks it's definitely a possibility. If they do very good chance they win out. Hopefully everything comes together and Bills get hot and go on a streak of their own. If Bills play like we know they can then there's a good chance 1 seed comes down to the wire

Well that's correct depending on the yardage needed to gain. If 4th and 10 or more it's different.

Yeah either would be better retractable roof/dome..Although as for the roof being too expensive, not sure if any and if so how much the tax payers would have to dish out. Or is Pegula paying the bulk? I'm not sure who/how many are involved that will be invested in it and all that stuff, but it's all expensive dome or roof. I can see the roof being more than dome, but either would be great for lot more than just football. Could do anything, concerts etc. Probably wouldn't take very long to pay for itself.

Yea that's weird. Wonder if someone from the Hawks said that or just Rapoport saying that. At 3-8 saying win now mode is a little off lol. Even if they win out finishing 9-8 they may not get in. Depending how things fall and 7 playoff teams per conference it's possible. But they way they been playing winning out is very doubtful

Exactly...I mean it pretty much goes without saying right lol? Also said Allen has to prove something or whatever, I mean I'm sure I'm not alone by any means, but imo it's quite clear he has proved a good while ago what he brings to the table. To me he has proved that as long as he is your QB your team will be competitive and has a chance for a championship.

Ok, I didn't see you mention it in your other couple post so seemed like you were saying Allen is the only issue. As for the OL last yr and this yr, I agree they weren't great, but not many teams have a "great" OL. They could have done some things better but each teams OL could too but they were solid though for the most part. As far as this year the run blocking does seem a little better, but I think they are at their best with Brown, Mongo (although some are not happy with) and Williams at G maybe could be better than last yrs OL. Anyway, with OL back in tact hopefully Josh gets the time he needs and TO's go away

Yeah I was on the fence for a while about the dome/roof because I have always loved the open air stadium Bills home games are known for. Even the high winds/snow etc, it's just a part of Bills history and what I've always known. But clearly to me retractable roof is best way to go.

While I agree Josh has had couple bad games, that's obvious. However you seem to be coming off as it's only Allen being the reason. You fail to mention how bad the OL was when losing players in most of those losses. Are you not taking that into account at all?

Yeah, and for some reason many ppl forget about that, which I don't understand how so many disregard the FACT that Josh had one of the absolute worst, if not the worst team surrounding him as a rookie. I honestly feel that Bills 2018 roster was highly likely at least in the top 5 of worst Bills rosters ever. I have noticed many occasions (on this board and random people in person) that when Josh's name comes up when comparing rookie seasons, many either forget or just refuse to bring that into equation. If Josh had only the slightest average surroundings that year, I have no doubt it would have been significantly better. When your OL is downright awful along with your WR's are beyond terrible, not just 1 or 2 WR's either, I mean every single WR. Later Foster came along and made a couple deep catches which gave hope that maybe 1 small thing could be salvaged from that junk, but nah.

Lol, well to be fair Bills are technically "in the hunt" now. If they lose it's definitely going to be a uphill battle for sure, but still would have a chance to win division. Also,where in the world do you get "probably 2nd in division for next 10+ years"?? That's 100% a silly thing to say. I'm literally still smh at that comment. Whole time I have been typing I was smh and still will be after hitting submit

Yeah the TE's are playing well. I still think Baker had way better weapons by quite a bit. Just in response to OP comparing Jones to Baker and hitting their "ceiling" I just don't really get comparing the 2. But that's just me..., Also just to mention...Pats OL seem to be doing a pretty good job too. Which of course is a major factor

I do like the extra few days for Pats game though. Hope they take advantage of it much as possible. Usually seemed it was always Pats getting the extra rest all the time when it happened. Nice to be other way around this time.

I understand this is your prediction because obviously have a ways to go to get any idea what kind of QB he will be. But not sure what you basing your prediction off of? I don't see how you're comparing him to Baker either really.. Baker has had really good weapons to throw to, M. Jones while he has solid WR ect around him, not nearly the same talent Baker has had. Also I would argue that the Pats coaching staff are bringing him along very well, when the coaching for Baker imo hasn't been as good. So we'll see how it goes..

Totally agree 100%. I don't see how they take him off the field. I assume McD said that to not give anything away, although on other hand it seems pretty obvious Breida will play so probably pointless anyway

Hope they stick with the Brieda/ Singletary combo rest of the way. Like how they looked together and with the OL back in tact could have better success.

Lol, must have really done something super special for a gift like that.

Yup, that's right. But these particular ones claim they are "die hard for life, loyal like a german shepherd raised from a puppy". And would be 40+ yrs old, so should know if a fan since childhood. lol

Lol, yeah this is true. I have experienced it with a few different "Pats fans". If they did name anyone before Brady it was Bledsoe, or C. Martin. Most of the time was Bledsoe though.

That's awesome!!! I would hope it is authentic and whatnot. Did any kind of proof of authenticity come with it? I know in most cases people would want that. With that said, in the situation you explained how it happened doesn't seem like it wouldn't be authentic.

Lol, was wondering if anyone was going to say, "another Pats thread" this time

Yeah I remember 3 I think. May have been 2, not sure but was definitely more than 1.
