I am very interested this off season who departs. They brought the crew back because they believed in this group after last year and what they did, but its clear this group aint making it and changes will be needed.

Matt Judon was a guy I wanted and the moment I saw he went to NE I figured he was gonna do well.

I would add the Billievers Band before the game behind the big scoreboard was amazing and people were jamming hard. Unfortunately the fans were more into it then the team

I mean I think for the next few years Buffalo will still be viewed as a team very much in the thick of it. It is on the Bills to finish the job and not be an also ran.

Thanks mom

When its felt like a grind for weeks with constant mistakes and errors eventually it will get to anyone. I agree it was very telling

They are human like us and I have to believe they lost that game and then saw the next four games being MIA/JAX/NYJ/IND (who at the time was lying down at 1-4 I think) and probably thought it is ok we have a stretch to get some easy games. Sadly 2-2 has resulted in a reallyyy tough climb now.

It really feels like the Bills beat KC as their prove it game and proceeded to stop doing the things that gave them success. It didn't help that after the Titans loss virtually everyone said Buffalo was still the team to beat and they received very little criticism to do better. I agree nothing is over by any means, but its hard to believe the fire is finally going to kick back on again after another time of saying "maybe this will awaken them".

I know what the Cover 2 stuff is and its impacting every QB now from Rodgers to Allen as across the NFL defenses are finally saying "fine beat us but your going to have to do it on 10-12 play drives". Losing at home in a game of that importance with the mistakes and just general lack of play is concerning. The first four years with McD I never questioned the teams effort or play as even when they lacked talent they seemed to make up for it with smart football. Every single loss you can question that and even wins like the Dolphins after the bye they looked like a team that was just going through the motions. Smart composed football is as evident as the Sun and when that is not happening you can't hide it. They look like a team that doesn't want to pay the price for success and it is killing them for that lack of resolve.

I think at this point even if you told me they won the division crown I would ask who they lost to in the playoffs. The team just looks entitled like teams should bow down to them for what they want to do and that is not how football goes. I had been holding hope that they would finally hit the switch and I felt like yesterday was a seminal game for it as it really could've down a lot for their playoff chances and division crown. Instead they didn't even show a pulse.

I guess my thought at this moment is despite how much I want to believe this team has “it” they don’t. I think a few times over I’ve kinda lied to myself on some issues because of Josh. But this loss in many respects was far worse then the Jags. At home you let a team you reaally needed to beat to maintain playoff and division positioning, kick the sh*t out of you. This is after a few bad weeks prior which were suppose to be “get right” games. I’ve wanted this team to be the one, but making playoffs seems like the best it’ll get before losing there. The biggest issue to me is they like the hype but can’t prove it when it matters.

Hey everyone just looking for some ideas. I am going to the Colts game Sunday and I am not tailgating like we normally do and was curious about parties or events around the stadium before. Has anyone went to Dannys or O'Neils prior to the game? Is there other things people recommend

Agreed, quick passes and screens. Keep Breida in for those.

This is pretty bad, but I guess if they are gonna prove their worth as an offense you gotta overcome injuries. Daboll knows he can't allow a Jags game again so pressure is on the him and the offense to find a way.

They are wearing the white throwbacks against NE and typically the all red's are used for a day that might have some snow or at least they like to try and theme it that way.

Garth Brooks in I believe 1998 at Marine Midland Arena We were on national TV as it was the CMA award night and Trisha Yearwood did a duet with Garth on TV. He was also announced as entertainer of the year. It was biblically loud and in terms of pure energy and deafing noise I have only been to two other concerts that matched it.

Respectfully I kind of hate these threads. The Bills have a Super Bowl caliber team with a QB who is an MVP candidate on a yearly basis. If they fail to have success in the playoffs or falter earlier I am looking far more at my team then the one that beat them because they should be able to beat any team in the AFC. Mac Jones is good, he has done well as a rookie and fits what NE wants to do. If you lose to the Pats where it ends the season my issue is what the heck our guys our doing not how good NE is.

I caution any fan with thinking a win is easy especially on Thursday night which has produced some of the most unpredictable results since those games started. Home teams have something close to a .700 win rate on Thursday's. I think NE should be favored, but ATL is 4-5 and their offense at points has done some things. If we have learned anything from this season across the NFL its that nothing is a sure thing and the unexpected has been all over the place.

I think its not impossible he leaves if they need the cap space and if his play were to tail off. But otherwise I don't see a reason to do so outside of those reasons. His first two seasons he was Josh's best friend on so many plays he needed a guy underneath. This year he has been more up and down but so has the offense in general and I truly think his knee injury from last year has kept him back a step and isn't being talked about. That said he still has led the team in yards in two games this year and he has tendency in closer games to being the guy to make a big catch on a 3rd down. I am just not sure they can get as good of a target for less money who vibes with Josh as well outside of cap/injury.

I try to avoid getting too serious on a single game, but this game realllyyy feels like a massive swing game season wise. There is a lot at stake as this is an AFC conference game which we share with NE also. A win and your a 7-3 going into the toughest stretch with NOLA, NE, TB which buys you some leash if you go 1-2 in those games and gives you the tie breaker vs IND. If you lose IND is 6-5 and one game back, the Pats are potentially tied standings wise with, you have another AFC conference loss which god forbid they don't win division and now its a battle wildcard wise, and the generally energy/mood reallyy will hit a tough point. I personally think IND in a certain way is a paper tiger in terms of their wins masking talent being out or not as high as you think, BUT they are well coach and seem to have found a decent identity at this point with their run game and Wentz not messing up too bad. So I guess what I am saying is I have BUF winning a really tight game vs IND 27-21, but they are a Wentz turnover or two from this being 40-17 also. I do not think IND has much room to mess up without the Bills making the game out of reach quickly.

Haha soooo I am just saying check a few things here people: My predictions: Diggs 156 yds 1 TD 8 rec White 1 INT 2 PD 2 tackles Jets 17 points Carter TD for Jets Fourth quarter Actualy game: Diggs 162 8 recs 1 TD White 1 INT 3 solo tackles 1 PD Jets 17 Points Carter TD was in fourth quarter although not the final Y'all should used my prediction to bet! haha

If we added up all over our other Super Bowls losses with the "actual" Super Bowls losses the Bills are like 0-124 I had a limited time, I would actually love to dive deeper over like 30 years it just takes alottttt of time. I did go season by season and compare losses for all of the teams along with record etc..

Crap your own to me

I think for young up and coming teams it is very easy to maintain urgency as you climb each mountain ie playoffs, division crown, title game etc.. Once you hit those marks though and the main goal is SB or bust I can understand having to learn a new type of urgency week in week out. You go from hunting to be hunted in a sense and that is psychologically a whole different mind set. I would expect they become a loaded bear like you said, but my greater hope is they finally have learned the urgency needed weekly.

Young teams with new coaches like the Jags or Jets are especially scary come mid season because their record prior does not usually indicate where they actually are and as you said they start figuring themselves out. While the Jags got blown out by the Seahawks they had been in virtually every other game to some extent. The Jets I am not as worried with because they have not been in most of their games. I think of the 2010 Bills that started 0-8 but finished 4-12 and were in more games then their record indicated as an example of a young team that was far more dangerous then the record showed. Truthfully the Steelers should've had a bad loss on their record that year if Stevie didn't drop the damn ball.
