I think this was more preparedness and coaching than arrogance. Last year this same circumstances resulted in a td for the pats. The bills learned firm it, prepared for it and then executed the plan. It is chess against BB. You could have taken a timeout or blocked it up. Instead they countered which sends a message for future contests.

This is the way I look at it....if you look at each game as a coin flip the Bills have a 75% chance to end up with the 2 seed, only if Pitt wins and Bills lose will they get the 3. But even then that does not mean game 2 of the playoffs is not at home, if Pitt loses in the WC round, the Bills still get the home game, so again using the coin flip analogy you bring the percentage to 87.5% and that is with resting guys. Now we can talk about if games are 50/50 but I think the Bills could still win against the Dolphins. So you can increase the 87.5% up by "not resting" but you still risk losing the game to the Dolphins anyway and having nothing to show for it. Then consider in the worst case scenario the Bills would have to travel 3 hours south by car to play in an empty or mostly empty stadium.....it really becomes a no brainer.....you dont risk injuring your key players....you are likely to still get the 2 seed.

Either Beasley or just replacing Kumerow with beat available. The bills are down a week right now (not because of Beasley injury)

If MVP is purely a stat award, lets name it that. Most Valuable Player...to his team, to his league, what exactly is the criteria? I have heard people in the media pontificate and it is honestly not clear there is good criteria but the consensus seems to be the most valuable player to his teams success for the year. With any of the players mentioned (Mahomes, Rodgers, Henry, Wilson, Allen, etc) they are all super critical to their teams success. Taking other positions out of it, I think the Bills, Chiefs. Hawks and Packers all have worse records if they did not have their QB's. Which one is most important to their team, which one affects the win-loss record the most? That is a guessing game so that is where it comes down to stats to compare these players. Personally I think Josh falls short when you see what Rodgers and Mahomes have done. I don't think it is disrespect to say that, it does not mean all that much at the end of the day. We will see which team raises the Lombardi soon enough. Rodgers output with the lack of turnovers does is where my (unbiased) vote would go. Looking at all those stats shows me Allen still has room to grow, he has not reached his ceiling yet and realistically he can do better than he has this year.

Crazy they just waived Kumerow Hodges is on IR and cannot come back this year.

He is a big loss but he has been so good because Allen has improved so much. Getting Brown back and losing Beasley should kind of be a push. Not that they have the same skill set but overall the Bills should be ok with #17 dealing.

I think this will help make McD's decision on how to handle next week. Allen, Diggs, Tre, and maybe a couple others should not play. Others should play less than typical. The Steelers are likely to lose so the Bills should get the #2. Get/stay healthy and make a run at the SB.

I can’t see him playing this week based on the week to week thing when you consider the game is not that important. So he falls just short of 1000 yards which kinda sucks for him but for the team what is important is he can play that WC game. Hopefully he is healthy by then.

Duke should improve his game, make the active roster, have some great games and throw it in Griese's face. We the fans can and should do nothing.

That is true but I think that is low likelyhood. THey would have tested the knee stability on the bench and he would nto have been allowed to walk off if they thought it was his ACL. Usually the doctors know by checking them out and do the MRI to confirm.

They also tried to get Beasley to 1000 and he got injured.

The beat downs the other way were way worse.

Cap it off with a pick 6

Hahahhahaha

Can someone tell these donkeys about the wind in that first game please. ...

Is there a website to see the virtual fan feed?

Almost had his 13th guy with a td catch.

On any given year with poor leadership and cap managment, sure. I think Houston will be a force down the road though. Watson is great and they will be a team to deal with moving forward. The QB is one of three parts you need, the others are coaching and cap management. The Saints have struggled with cap management. Tee Falcons have struggled with coaching and cap management. In general if you get a top 5 type QB you should be able to consistently compete. I still think we need the element of time to put Allen in that category. The other thing, a couple examples of teams that had success only to fall off once the OC left, Philly and Atlanta....the new OC (if Daboll leaves) will be really important.

1pm? Since when do the bills play at 1 pm?

I would go with snap the ball on “ did you see Andre smash that table?”

That was awkward

I always see people wanting “their team only” and assuming they will get some great discount if that is an option. By and large that is exactly what you pay for with directs. Out of market fans ARE the Sunday ticket customers. Yeah you get the other games but how many people watch them? All the available games are in two time slots so who would pay for a second 1 pm game anyway? Yes there will probably be changes to how you can watch the bills but it won’t be cheaper. The other thing is the ticket is more valuable to a secondary performer like directv than say amazon. Amazon has their customers so they don’t need some lost leader to attract and retain cumstomers like dtv does. That is why a lot of people get discounts or free ticket each year. And the pirate options will always be there too so someone has to subsidize those guys.

Hopefully he did not kick in for that truck Chad Hall got.

Merry Christmas jake. You’re fired.
