Success

Our punter pretty much always punts to the mid-teens when we're close to mid-field. We don't get those "pin them inside the 5" punts.

I realize during this delay that game days are agony for me, and that this is just prolonging the agony.

Let's put this one away early. Time for a turnover.

I feel like Fitz is the kind of player that can jump on it if you give him even a little opening. Getting a stop on the 1st drive of the 2nd half is going to be big.

I feel like that last 3 is a bit on the punter. You have to pin Miami deeper than that.

I feel like tomorrow comes down to which Fitz we get. When he is good, he is VERY good. It's hard to think of a QB who is more hot & cold.

So, no biggie. The LB corps will be the same as it was at the end of the Jets game. When Darnold moved their offense easily down the field and scored. I'll be fine. I just need time on this one.

That's the 2nd time you got me this week, Yolo....

We should, but it opens the game up to more variables. This would have been a tough divisional game regardless. If there is one week that I'd wish McD wouldn't defer the kickoff, it's this one. If Miami can exploit our weakness at LB and grind out a long scoring drive to start the game, it becomes an uphill battle. I'd prefer to see our offense start and make Miami catch up. The more Fitz has to throw the better I'll feel about the outcome (no offense, Fitz - still love ya for that win against the Pats)...

He was playing one of the NFC's best, in his 1st game w/ a new team. I'd bet they still finish up strong & make the playoffs. But man, that one pick 6 he sailed - I don't think I ever saw a pass like that from him in his whole time in the division. I was like, really? NOW you do this?

I agree that power rankings are kind of silly - but it's fun to see us this high. I probably said it about a dozen times on Sunday: this is the best & most balanced Bills team I've seen since the Kelly years. And they're young - this core could keep us in contention for years.

Probably not the right thread - but I really appreciate how deep & good our WR corps is this year. This has to be the best since Moulds/Price - and probably better depth than that time. Davis looks like he will develop into a good one.

I'm grateful we have Beane. I think he has built quality depth throughout the line-up. Losing guys like Milano & Edmunds a few years back would have been hard to overcome, but Dodson & Klein (hope I'm spelling them right - didn't know they really existed before Sunday) came in and both played well, imo. That's something the Bills did really poorly during the drought. Usually during that time, when the starter went down, the next man up was a textbook JAG.

98 years is quite a life - and as a parent, it's hard to imagine anything more gratifying than being able to watch her son reach the pinnacle of his profession and accomplish what he has. R.I.P., and condolences to the GOAT coach.

I'm always worried.

Tough year for watching games. Don't have Direct TV, and won't be going to the bars this season. Looks like Red Zone & trying to watch the updates online (which are always late & wrong).

Nice to have a game I actually want to rewatch. They've been re-showing the Houston playoff game, and the other night they had the Bills-Giants SB. I know some watch those; I've never been able to revisit those kinds of painful losses.

Oh, man - heart stoppage when I read the title. Well played.

That would be pretty rough. Love Gore, but obviously past his prime. I'm paraphrasing, but the announcer said something last week like "you can always count on him for 2 yards or so whenever he touches the ball," and he was trying to say it like it was praise...

This is a really dangerous game. Division opponent coming off a loss & desperate to avoid 0-2. And Flores is a good coach. If we get good Fitz, it will be a nailbiter. It completely goes without saying, but hopefully the team worked out the kinks on scoring/red zone opportunities last week. That game would have been maddening against a better team w/ all of the points we squandered with mistakes & miscues.

Exactly this.

Steelers defense actually looks pretty good. Man, is our schedule tough.

I just exhaled.

I'll admit it: I was terrified Garropolo would take over for the Pats after Brady left. I thought they found another gem & he'd carry them to another decade of success. I'm still not quite ready to write him off, though. I thought he was pretty solid in the SB last year, though not great. Yesterday he looked pretty middlin'. But I noticed that America has become even more addicted to hot takes this season (Brady is washed! BB was clearly more responsible for their run!) So, I'll give this one more time to render any kind of verdict.

I prefer it, and I was glad they did it yesterday - but there was spirited discussion about it w/ the group I was watching the game with. But it's like pretty much anything in an NFL game. If the other team comes out like the Jets and goes 3 & out, it's a a great call. Had they driven for a TD, it would have been a terrible call.
