They are beat to hell. Dont have their stud pass rusher. Starting SS is hurt, hobbled, and starting with a ton of heart. Down to their 3rd FS. And their starting cornerbacks are a guy fresh off an ACL injury and a rookie. Its not rocket science. If they want to get to the Super Bowl, the highly paid QB better score more points than the other teams' highly paid QBs.

Thats all well and good. You're the KC Chiefs playing the Las Vegas Raiders, they needed no help or trickery to score points. It was stupid.

If he gets an extension it will be after he hits free agency. Type of player the Bills let hit free agency to see what their market is and signs later on when they dont get the contract they want elsewhere. His hands have never been good, just more on display because his targets have went up. His field awareness is also bad. It's mindblowing at how bad he is at getting his feet down towards the sideline.

Its a young man's game.

It shouldn't have happened. It was stupid as hell and looked like something a little league coach would have dreamed up.

These punters look like goofs.

Two posts about this? The guy is the exact opposite of what the Bills look for in players.

Chris Brown.

Find something of Murph's to donate to. His brother passed away from Cancer just last year and now this. What a hell of a year for this team.

Pretty sure you had it right.

If they want to 86 a promising young coach for a 46 year old QB I'd be in their corner.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Amazing news.

Fair enough. I agree it was definitely emotionally driven hyperbole. I am usually better at not doing that. Goes back to said cousin, he is a real piece of work. My bad there.

Ryan Clark had a really great quote on Monday night after the injury in regards to football players regretting playing football after a major injury and he said, and I am paraphrasing "No, because before we were ever pros, before we ever made millions doing it, our first love was having a football in our hands." It really struck a nerve with me. Since I was 5 years old football has been my passion. I've been blessed with a beautiful life, great wife, amazing kids but before all of those things came into my life, some of the greatest joys I've known is playing or coaching football. I know that seems so trite, but its true, to this day even when I am just playing catch, football brings me such great joy. From word go having a football in my hands just felt natural, it was the thing that cleared my head, and even in chaotic situations on the field brought me some odd solace. My oldest son is the same way. Playing football and basketball is his spark. I dont know how I could take that away from him even knowing the risks. My younger son could care less about football, but his passion is skateboarding. It was innate, the first time I saw him at a skate park, even just with a scooter at 5 years old, it was like I was seeing him in his element for the first time. Should I tell him to stop because people have gotten hurt really bad skating? I dont think I could. We all have a choice, we can try avoid risks, try and live a long life even though its completely out of our hands or do what we love knowing that it could end our lives prematurely. Either way we will suffer, its inevitable in life. I want everyone in my family to live very long lives but I also want them to enjoy it because its the only one they get.

My son is the third generation of my family to play football. I've played or coached for the last 35 years. Neither my son or I have been injured playing football. My father required shoulder surgery after a high school football game when he was growing up. I did however take a comebacker to the face pitching in high school breaking both my orbital bone and giving me a concussion. Very lucky it wasn't worse. My immediate reaction to Damar's injury is that neither of my boys will play football again. After letting the initial emotion subside, and thinking about what I wrote above. I realize freak accidents happen im every sport and in every day life. His exact injury happens in baseball, lacrosse, and hockey. People die in car accidents daily. Should I never drive my car again? Its likely my kids will get hurt whether its in football or not, but I can't live in fear of that.

Thank you. Needed that this morning.

Wouldn't have expected anything less from Chief's fans. I have a cousin who is a huge KC fan and he couldn't represent their fan base any better...arrogant, loudmouth. I love that they use the Belcher situation as an example but completely ignore the fact that maybe the NFL was wrong then. Maybe the Chiefs shouldn't have played that game. I have nothing but respect for Mahomes as a player, and Reid as a coach (not including as a Father for obvious reasons) but their fanbase is complete trash.

Yes, they were playing dirty. They were jacked up beyond belief. The Hurst thing I was a little less concerned about because it was in the act of a football play. The Hendrickson thing was complete garbage and should have been a penalty and a fine. He even gives Josh a kick towards the end of his gymnastics routine. They showed out as good stewards of the game after the Hamlin injury but the week leading up to the game and the way they came out punching shows me that they carry themselves with some serious arrogance.

Would be great if they won tonight, a lot on the line. That said, they will still play at home in round 1 and have shown they can win games on the road.

Starting all these posts when one of the AFC East teams still likely makes the playoffs is kind of silly. I take just as much enjoyment in those teams losing as the next guy, but at least wait until the collapse is complete. Bills still have some work to do themselves.

I think most national people just expected the greatest show on turf after week 1 and 2. They also expected Josh to take another step and be the front runner for MVP. Still think he is the most valuable player to his team in the NFL but he has also regressed to his mean throughout the season. Its less sexy than destroying everyone they play. Its the ebb and flow of the season. The Bengals are the hot story right now. I think with consistent winning you just see less fanfare. Still feel like the Bills and Chiefs are the favorites in the AFC but the writers and TV people have to put out new stories.

Those were my exact thoughts last week. It was surprising to me how many times on the same drive he was willing to let it go into really bad situations. Multiple times last week the ball was tipped up into the air for anyone to catch, the Pats just couldnt get there . I think Joe has all the swag in the world, but part of me wonders how he will do when they dont have as much talent at wideout.

Watched a fair amount of the Bengals/Patriots game last week, other than the Patriots completely melting down, one thing stood out to me, Burrow's arm strength doesnt match his confidence. He is a very accurate kid, but man did he throw a lot of passes that should have been picked. Josh is up there as well dont get me wrong, but I'd like to see the stat for % of interceptable passes that someone like PFF or Football Outsiders would have.

Some of the jerseys were cool. The song in the background was an absolute assault on my eardrums.
