Vikes up 31-3

Another pick 6!!!! Jamel Dean against the Jests.

Rodgers just forced another fumble for the Vikes.

Colts up 20-6 and they get the ball to start the third. Isaiah Rodgers of the Vikes forced a fumble, picked it up, and scored a 69 yard TD!

PItt intercepted in the EZ.

Watching all the bad, average and uninteresting teams out there makes you appreciate just how good the Bills are. Gives you perspective. Before the arrival of that incompetent, poor decision making Sean McDermott and his sidekick Brandon Beane, who can't draft worth crap on Day 1 or 2, all those bad, average and uninteresting teams were the Bills for almost 2 decades.

Injuries in the playoffs against KC kept us out of the SB in 2024. I'm glad you had such a good time in your first visit to Bills Country! If you know that a person is someone you wouldn't want to be around your loved ones, you've already judged that person and found his/her behavior/character unacceptable. If someone is unacceptable to be around your child because of his/her own behavior, then he/she is just as unacceptable to be around everyone's children. We are all our brothers' keepers.

I'm the same. In fact, even when I jump from my laptop to my phone and vice versa I never have to log in. The last time I had to log in fresh was probably the last time the site was upgraded whenever that was.

The Bills beat the Ravens in the playoffs. The Bills beat the Ravens on opening night. Beane and McDermott know what the hell they're doing. Deal with it.

This is a McDermott crucifiction thread. You are wasting your time trying to reason with zealots.

This thread has the smell of troll about it.

I couldn't remember exactly where he caught it and the PBP just said "short left" or something like that, but I knew it was almost all YAC. Being behind the LOS pass simply re-enforces the idea that the Bills continued playing small ball after the roughing the kicker penalty.

The Bills didn't change their offensive strategy after the RTK call. The penalty gave the Bills a first down on the Fins' 36. They handed off twice to Cook for runs of 6 and 3 yards. Then they handed off to Johnson for 7 yards and a first down at the 20. Allen threw a short 5 yard pass to Palmer at the 15. The TD pass to Shakir wasn't 15 yards downfield into the end zone. It was just a few yards downfield that Shakir turned into a score by YAC. The Bills are who they are: a team that's methodical, relentless, and opportunistic. They had no doubt that they could stop Miami. As a fan, you see them having to punt again, and you worry about the Fins scoring a TD. The Bills see a punt downed on the 2 yard line as an opportunity to force the Fins to punt from inside their 12 yard line -- or better yet, an opportunity for a safety. They see the RTK penalty as just the kind of stupid mistake desperate teams make that give them more opportunities to score. We will just have to agree to disagree because it is philosophical. I'm a believer in what are some common cliches in the NFL because I think that there are real kernels of truth in them: "defense wins championships" "build a team from the lines out" "running games travel well". Needless to say, I don't have issue with the Bills on offense. I worry about the defense.

The Bills had taken away the Fins deep passing game all night, limiting Tua to something like 4+ yards per completion. Do you really think that Tua could have dinked and dunked the Fins 98 yards to score a TD? They probably would have had to run 12-16 successful plays to cover that much of the field. I've only been a Bills fan for 62 years, but I concur. There has always been a loud group of Bills fans who live under perpetual rain clouds. This is a legitimate concern, but for being down as many starters and potential starters on defense as the Bills were against Miami, I hope that this aspect of the Bills game can improve. James Cook isn't exactly chopped liver this season. I think the Yankees would be better served by having a better bullpen just as the Bills would be better served having a better defense.

McDermott has had "a problem" with challenges for 9 years? Really? "There are three things that can happen when you throw a pass, and two of them are bad." -- Woody Hayes It was a 48 yard FG at :22, which would put the LOS at Fins' 30. The Bills defense was forcing the Fins to dink and dunk down the field all night, they had no TOs, and 22 seconds left. FYI, 11 of Tua's 22 completions were behind or at the LOS for 6.6 yards per completion and 4.3 yards per attempt.

Which is what exactly? That there's a cadre of posters on TSW who dislike Sean McDermott and who cavill over any decision they decide is "wrong" because they have no real things to complain about -- like being 0-3 instead of 3-0?

Speak for yourself, not "fans". The good news is that the Bills have 14 more games to improve their techniques, and they should get some reenforcements in a while on defense ... and hopefully, not lose defenders for the playoffs. I think there were at least two decent runs by Cook where he was just tripped up by a defender or he would have had even more yards. He can house the ball from anywhere.

What concerns me is that the sun is supposed to expand into a red giant star in about 5 billion years. I can tell you're an expert on leadership, planning, and decision-making, Nostradamus.

When the Fins are right, they ARE a high powered offense. Hill and Waddle are two of the fastest WRs in the NFL, and Achane is a very fast RB who can catch the ball out of the backfield. There aren't many defenders who can stick with that trio.

Shaq Thompson!!!!!!

Miami defender down.

Three and out!!!!

Absolutely. Their interior OL isn't too shabby, either, and some of the Bills' backups could start on some other teams' OLs.

The Chiefs have used considerable draft capital in recent years on OTs (2 2nds IIRC in the last 3 drafts I think) without much improvement to show for their efforts, much as the Bills have struggled to improve their DL.

Thanks. I should have looked it up. My bad.
