And now Knox disappoints on one of Allen's only good passes all game. Bills offense doesn't want it enough. They're going through the motions and hopping the defense can win it on their own.

Dawson Knox should've had a play like that earlier, but you know... QB play like ours isn't conducive to hitting open guys.

I guess that's what it looks like when you hit an open target in stride...

All on Allen again. Had all day to pass, yet he stood there as if no pressure would ever get there. If people are covered, take off or throw it away. Damn.

1st down on the opponent 36, 1 min to go, 3 timeouts. This is where a good team punches back and takes momentum.

This would make sense, but Josh has been so inconsistent with screens. He throws it in a way the receiver doesn't have position to run after the catch, or just floats it to where the ball takes too long to get to the target l.

Defense trying their best to carry the team yet again. Even half way competent QB play would go a LONG way. Doing nothing off turnovers, missing open WRs, turning the ball over ourselves... Now great field position, again. Offense being dead weight in a meaningful game yet again.

You're going to put that on Daboll? What a joke. Absolutely Clueless.

I just can't believe Allen is this bad against good teams. All year people whining about Daboll pissed me off, as it was CLEAR the problem was execution. Again, missing 3 guaranteed 1st downs (at the minimum) on open targets is unacceptable for a starting NFL QB.

Bills need a dome. Our QB's can't throw for **** in wind, especially Allen. He's consistently been the worst deep passer in the entire league, and wind isn't helping.

This looks like one of those games where a QB we passed on makes all those threads earlier in the year saying "he's not that good" look stupid. Josh doing his best to repeat his Patriots performance.

My rational mind initially thought 31-17 Ravens. But for whatever reason I keep leaning 23-17 Bills now, as some irrational optimism is pushing through & saying "signature win time!"

I'm sorry, this is a game I just don't think this team will win. The Ravens front are big, strong dudes that push people around (often being referred to as "bullies"), and our strength has not been in our defensive front & stopping the run. Our LB's are good sideline to sideline, but Edmunds doesn't explode through the gaps & stuff the run, and Milano is a bit too small. You're more likely to see them making tackles in the secondary after Ingram or Jackson already broke through. It's also why our safeties have so many tackles. If we can at least wrap up & not allow them a ton of yards after contact, we can mitigate the damage. But racking up a ton of near sacks or blowing potential tackles for loss will kill us. The Ravens offense has shown they can score at will & are a multidimensional threat. The Bills can win games where they control time of possession, field position and don't turn the ball over, and aren't playing from behind for long. But there's no way we can keep pace putting up points if Baltimore keeps scoring like crazy. I desperately want us to win this game, but ultimately I'm hoping we just don't get embarrassed. 31-17 Ravens is my guess * * * * F*** it! Optimist in me is saying 23-17 Bills! We deserve this dammit!

Do you not enjoy watching them lose? It's not like Fox (or the sports media members in general) have been kind to them. They're not out there raving about them or making excuses for them, if anything they're piling on more & more. I'm enjoying every minute of it, more Cowboys coverage please, it's hilarious!

Well the YouTuber himself is the ONLY sports-related YouTuber I follow, because I enjoy his humor & that he doesn't take himself seriously. He's a diehard Brocnos fan, but covers the Bills all the time & has grown a big following. Plus its not just him sitting in his computer chair in front of a webcam rambling on about whatever, whenever. There's actual game footage, other video, and a proper format to each that makes it more enjoyable & entertaining. But the Bills fan himself? Once you see it, you'll remember instantly. "DALLAS IS GOING DOWN GARY!" and his "YAAAAAAH!" scream are legendary

Mark Miller, the Bills fan made famous due to his intense screaming about Dallas going down (to Gary lol) returns with a message!

Don't the Bills have some abysmal record under Allen when the opposing team scores 20 points or more? If that's the case, I think it's clear we need to somehow do what all these other teams have no been able to do...contain Lamar Jackson. In the past (with a different defense) we managed great feats like making Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers & Tom Brady look pedestrian in a several game stretch. Maybe this team can rise to the occasion & do that against Lamar. The 49ers held them to 20 points last week, but aside from that, the Ravens last few games they've scored 45, 41, 49, 37, and 30... That's insane, especially considering their opponents have averaged 12 points in those games ? Here's hoping the defensive game plan is strong, and that we really rise to challenge like we did against the Pats (only this time the offense will rise to the challenge too).

And people still aren't happy with the amount of positive coverage we're getting...

Still has a LONG way to go before even sniffing MVP level play, but your prediction of three success threshold seems spot on. Obviously limiting turnovers helps a lot too, but accuracy is just as important. I find it amusing though considering how many people last year claimed accuracy didn't matter, and completion percentage wasn't relevant. Seems it definitely is relevant.

You know, that's a pretty decent argument. Steelers fans probably number close to Cowboys fans across the country, and they likely were interested in the game & seeing the Bills lose. That very well could've been it.

That'd be nice, but honestly just rather see him destroying people stuffing the run. Not trying to be rude, but we know Edmunds isn't going to do it, so hopefully the D-line including Oliver can prevent it before Edmunds & Co. even get a shot at it.

I'd like to see that too. Though the average was really high to begin with, it'd be interesting to see. It can't just be "a lot of people hate the Cowboys," because that would apply every year & every Thanksgiving game they play. They've also played plenty of big market teams & rivalry games, yet the Bills eclipsed those. And Dallas only being 6-5 isn't a huge draw on their end, as they've come into Thanksgiving games with better records plenty of times. I'm not sure how the NFL decides who gets the 4:30 game, but I'd assume the Cowboys get that spot most of the time too. Usually after Thanksgiving meal my family, friends & I all are tired & start dozing off, so normally I'd skip paying attention to this game. I think sports fans in general like to see an underdog, especially one they know hasn't been relevant in ages, and watch to see if they're for real. Even if we lose next week, as long as we keep it close, I think the general NFL fan will be convinced we're a legit team this year based on the Cowboys game alone since that's likely the only game of ours they've been able to watch this year. That performance will be ingrained in their mind, so going forward expect a lot of bandwagon Bills supporters (which I think is a great thing ?)

If they start getting drive-extending penalties, yes. I will be livid. Nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING pisses me off more than a great play ruined by some a**hat running his mouth & drawing a flag, giving the opponent another shot at life. As long as that's not happening, they can flap their jaws all they want.

Admittedly I haven't watched much TV coverage, haven't really been home much to watch. Just watching online coverage from Twitter/Facebook/YouTube which is showing clips from TV shows praising us. But in regards to internet articles, there's a TON of stuff out there hyping up the Bills. But perhaps the big shows are spending more time talking about the Cowboys, probably because Jerry Jones said he's sticking with Garrett, which of course is going to fuel outrage for another week.

Just out of curiosity, I looked up the past 27 Cowboys Thanksgiving games: 2018: Cowboys 31, Redskins 23 (Divisional Rivalry, Tons of History) 2017: LA Chargers 28, Cowboys 6 (1st Thanksgiving game since moving back to LA) 2016: Cowboys 31, Redskins 26 (See above) 2015: Panthers 33, Cowboys 14 (Panthers 1st Thanksgiving game ever) 2014: Eagles 33, Cowboys 10 (Divisional Rivalry, Tons of History) 2013: Cowboys 31, Raiders 24 (Raiders have a huge national fanbase too) 2012: Redskins 38, Cowboys 31 2011: Cowboys 20, Dolphins 19 2010: Saints 30, Cowboys 27 2009: Cowboys 24, Raiders 7 2008: Cowboys 34, Seahawks 9 2007: Cowboys 34, NY Jets 3 2006: Cowboys 38, Buccaneers 10 2005: Broncos 24, Cowboys 21 (OT) 2004: Cowboys 21, Bears 7 2003: Dolphins 40, Cowboys 21 2002: Cowboys 27, Redskins 20 2001: Broncos 26, Cowboys 24 2000: Vikings 27, Cowboys 15 1999: Cowboys 20, Dolphins 0 1998: Vikings 46, Cowboys 36 1997: Oilers 27, Cowboys 14 1996: Redskins 10, Cowboys 21 1995: Cowboys 24, Chiefs 12 1994: Cowboys 42, Packers 31 (Bills lost to the Lions 21 to 35 on this Thanksgiving too) 1993: Dolphins 16, Cowboys 14 1992: Cowboys 30, NY Giants 3 Some big games, some duds, but nothing that particularly points to why THIS game had such massive ratings. Interesting to see they've played the Dolphins 4 times, tied with the Redskins for most games as the Cowboys opponents during that stretch. Guess the nation is just more interested in the Bills than the either of them
