Success

It's a swoon. This is still a very good team. How many times have pundits written off the eventual SB champion when they stumbled mid-season? Regroup, win the next one.

It was similar last week. I feel like we have one of the best WR units in the league - but every other play is a short pass to Singletary.

Same team we had last year - but they don't look the same. They look like a team that was getting ready for their coronation. Time to work.

I'll go for the cliche - teams that win Lombardis win games like this....

Best we could ask for w/ how bad we've been. I'm of the school of thought that if you can't score a single TD, you don't deserve to win. This next drive is huge. Time to be the Bills team we all expected this season.

LOL - so blatant on that false start.

TD here would be rough. Gotta hold 'em to a FG at minimum.

What a perfect route from Sanders, and a strike.

Jax telling the Bills they'd better win this one.

This is sort of a classic mid-season swoon. This is NOT a different team than the team last year. They'll figure it out.

Objectively, we're still a RB and better O-line away from a championship. Not that a few bounces can't go their way this year - but those are big liabilities.

I mean, you have to take the penalty. It's Jax - that's showing no faith in the D.

Why is our line so weak? I feel like they have made some big investments there, and we have good players like Dawkins & Morse...

There is no way I'd trade Mahomes for Allen right now. Mahomes is incredibly fun to watch - but he still does all of that hero-ball, Globetrotters stuff. He's not disciplined. Allen is progressing away from that every year. The trajectory with Allen is more of a diagonal line upward - Mahomes is the same QB he's been for 3 years now. I think Allen is going to have a better overall career, and be looked upon as the better QB when all is said & done.

Do fans here consider the Jets a rival? I've gotta say - I don't for the most part.

I just realized that I'm freaking out. I'm not sure I know this team yet. They're not the team I expected in '21, but they're still awesome. I'm enjoying the season, but also filled with trepidation. Are we one of the best teams? Are we a contender, but not there yet? Is it all just week to week? What if we show up in the SB and play like we did the 1st half against Miami? Why are we here? What is our place in the universe? What if I had married the girl that checked every box, but we were just "too young?" As I mentioned, I'm freaking out. I hope the Jacksonville game is over by halftime.

I'm super tired and can't read through this whole thing. Apologies in advance. Can anyone give me a summary? Are we keeping the Bills in Buffalo, or are they fair game for the vultures?

I'd like to avoid Belichick and Brady - in that order.

I was bummed yesterday. The Chargers really handed them the win. But, teams tend to do that against BB. He generally makes sure that it's not his team that makes the game-deciding mistake (though that happened earlier this season). They won't be an easy out by any means, and I do NOT want to face that team in the playoffs. The "playoff experience" advantage is ridiculous for Belichick. It's like a normal day at the office for him now. It will be nice when he finally retires. I think this Pats team is very middlin' in terms of talent, but that's all he needs to keep them in contention.

That's fun to watch. Not the right team, old man.

Chargers gave that game away. Kind of frustrating. The Pats are BB. Put that team under just about any other coach, and they're not much. But those guys play sound, situational football, and rarely beat themselves. What's up w/ BB, anyway? I thought he said he didn't want to be coaching at 70 like Marv Levy. Getting pretty close there...

It's always kind of hilarious when Pats fans complain about officiating being "one sided" against them.

Wow - Bass is really emerging as one of the best kickers we've had in awhile.

With the way the D is playing, a solid scoring drive here could put this one away.

That drive was all kinds of satisfying.
