This put a smile on a face before bed, thanks 😊

I feel like I need to remind everyone again - this is NOT the same Bills team from the last 3 years. Your faith in them is nice and all, but what have they done THIS SEASON that has earned this kind of trust? 6-6 record, 2-6 in one-score games, long stretches of pitiful offense, defense collapsing at the worst times, turnovers & penalties everywhere, and overall undisciplined football... Might as well predict the Colts or Browns are going to the Super Bowl. At least they're 7-5. This is not the 2020, 2021 or 2022 Bills. To suddenly think they'll magically make it to the AFC Championship Game (MINIMUM at that) suggests either severe mental health decline (understandable given how the Bills have wreaked havoc upon the fans this year) or heavy drug use 😉

Jay Remiersma was clutch. I don't remember if my nostalgia is clouding my judgement, but I always felt he was super underrated, and would've thrived with a better overall offense.

At this rate, it'll be just like 2004 all over again. Making it to a win-and-in scenario, then somehow choking against the Dolphins backups or something. Please let me be wrong!!!

86.5% completions on 37 attempts is nuts, especially for a backup. Congrats to Browning on the win, though it's not exactly good for us.

People need to understand this is not the same Bills team of years past. 4-1 or 5-0 was very realistic for those teams, but I'm not sure this group believes in themselves enough to do that. I don't blame them though, as it has to be disheartening to lose so many close games that came down to the wire. I hope the BYE got everyone on the same page.

If we lose to KC, we fall to 3-6 in the conference, so we need to get over that hurdle first. Every other team we're fighting against already has a better record than us, but if we manage to catch up, they also have better conference records than us too. Browns: 5-3 Steelers: 5-3 Colts: 4-3 Texans: 4-3 Broncos: 3-4 The Broncos are the closest to our level, but they have a head-to-head win (another McD choke). If we can upset the Cheifs in Arrowhead for a 3rd straight year, then I'll look further ahead again. A loss to Dallas won't be the end of the world, but a loss to KC will require a lot of teams to fall apart ahead of us.

I don't have any issue with benching him, it's just the length of time that bothers me. You want to take him out a drive, fine. But why continue that for multiple drives, and continously drag it out through entire games? The issues with Cook's drops & fumbles are often how inexplicably bad they can be. The guaranteed TD drop against Philly would make any coach want to pull their hair out. But continuing to pull him off & on each game just kills potential momentum & confidence. Josh also makes some bizarre INT's, but you wouldn't punish him by yanking him each mistake.

I'd be down, and I'm not even on the fire McD bandwagon. Harbaugh has proven he can coach in the NFL, and what he was able to do with for Alex Smith's career and a QB like Kaepernick was nothing short of amazing. I imagine he'd be thrilled to see what he could do with a far superior talent at QB.

I don't know what there is to address. You're preaching to the choir here. Bills fans are going to have Josh's back. But you aren't going to change the reputation he's earned with fans of other teams & most of the media. I spend way too much time on various NFL circles online, whether it be reddit, Twitter, YouTube comments, etc. & it feels like I'm fighting a losing battle against an overwhelming public opinion that he's a "turnover machine." This really became a big narrative last year, and week 1 of this season solidified it in many people's eyes. He's got to be the one that changes that perception now. Us Bills fans aren't convincing anyone.

Don't worry guys, she was only pregnant. No big deal... 😰

Sean McDermott, unless a very obvious upgrade is available. I know, faith in him has been lost, but things aren't guaranteed to get better just because he's gone. The Bills could just as easily become the next Chargers too. Despite all that talent & having a star QB, they crap it away every year with even worse coaching than ours. 13 seconds sucks, but so does losing a game after being up 27-0 and snagging 5 turnovers by half time. And it's not like the Chargers are as bad as it can get either. The Cardinals thought they were on the upswing with a franchise QB, and since then have only suffered setback after setback, firing their coach, dealing with injuries & a bottom feeder in the division. Another thing we tend to forget is that the Bills aren't the only team making moves to improve each off season. 13-3 plus all the additions... that means even BETTER results! Not quite. When everybody else is improving even more dramatically, you get left behind. Yes, I'm not the biggest McDermott fan right now either. But I'm also not ready to start up the coaching carousel again, especially when the Pegula's also hired Rex Ryan. Or maybe I'm just a chicken like McDermott & am afraid of the unknown 🤣

Happy birthday Stefon! Hope you retire a Bill, but best of luck if you decide to leave.

Beats me, I'm a homer, so I desperately wanted Mahomes the previous year. But whether it was Mahomes in 2017 or Josh the next year, I had zero faith in the Bills to develop a QB properly. I had no idea either would turn out so good. I was basically the only Bills fan in Lubbock, so I selfishly wanted to see the whole city jump on the Bills bandwagon.

Fair enough, and I agree that some schools just don't produce good prospects at certain positions. I went to Texas Tech, and until Mahomes, we were known for "system QBs" that only could play in air raid offenses, then flame out in the NFL 😆

Weren't Tua & Hurts both at Alabama at one point? Seems they turned out alright. And yes, I know Hurts transfered to Oklahoma 😅

A win vs KC would go a long way in boosting this team's confidence, but I'm worried there's not a lot of confidence going into the game. Thankfully, this team seems to always want to prove themselves against the Chiefs, so this may be the last chance to turn things around. People give the Dolphins crap for only beating teams with losing records, but that just means they always beat who they SHOULD beat. If the Bills could've just done that, we wouldn't be in this situation right now 😕

I don't think age is an issue. He's 29. The top 2 WRs right now are the same age or older. Tyreek Hill (1,300+ yards) - 29 (1st) Keenan Allen (1,100+ yards) - 31 (2nd) Davante Adam's (800+ yards) - 30 Mike Evans (850+ yards) - 30 Then you have the younger guys: Ceedee Lamb (1,050+ yards) - 24 AJ Brown (1,050 yards) - 26 Amon-Ra St Brown (950+ yards) - 26 Diggs is right in the middle. I really don't think it's age.

Not turn the ball over. And I'm not trying to be a smart ass either. As great as he was, he's got to stop throwing INTs. 8 straight games with a pick is not normal for elite QBs. No, he's not the reason we lost last night. But you asked a serious question, and that's my serious answer.

0-6 in OT through the Allen era. That's not normal. The terrible record in 1 score games is also not normal. McDermott & coaching is clearly the issue there.

The refs are just calling obvious penalties... Might want to redirect some of that conspiratorial nonsense back towards the players committing the penalties.

I think it's the 2nd one... The replay showed a clear penalty there.

Bills EPA kings again, yet coming away with 0 points in opponent's territory. What a mess.

It's funny how many dislikes & downvotes you got, despite saying this ^^^^ What, are people not happy with a Super Bowl win? They NEED to be told he'll also be MVP & put up some crazy stat line we've never seen from him before? Why? I don't think Josh will ever have a year statistically better than 2020. He may never have playoff numbers as good or as efficient as 2021. But if we win a Super Bowl, so what? If we haven't seen his ceiling, we've seen pretty close to it. Is he turning the ball over less? Definitely not. Is his deep passing getting better? No. He's on pace to get more rushing TDs, so that's cool. But Josh has only finished with an above 100 passer rating once (Mahomes has only failed to do it 2 times outside of his rookie year when on the bench), and has had double digit INTs all but once (in 2019 he had 9). With 6 games left, he's 2 INTs away from his total last year, and 13 passing TDs short. So to even match last year's numbers, he'll have to average 2 passing TDs & 0.3 INTs per game. But the way things are headed, it's very possible Josh breaks his INT record this year, while having his lowest passing TD output since 2019.

I hate it, but my superstitious side wants more red on red dammit!
