I've long said if they want to play Thursday games they should schedule teams that are coming off a bye week.

Honestly, I like many used to let the outcome of the Bills game play way too far into my mental well being. Weeks they lost I was a complete ass. The drought was a fun time to be around me. My "Come to Jesus" with sports came after 13 seconds. Man, I literally didn't sleep for three days. Got in a real bad mental headspace. Then slowly I would start to see things. Mainly, the players that actually played in that game in Instagram photos, out to dinner all smiles. Heading on nice tropical vacations. Not bothered at all. That helped me refocus from gameday being all about that dub, to being all about time with my wife, kids, other family and friends that are around. The game is on and I'm still invested...but it's just different now. Once the game ends, my emotional tie to that game ends. I was over last night's loss before the players even exchanged jerseys, did the joint prayer and shook hands. That's actually somewhat poetic considering the overall history of this franchise.

Lost in the loss: My word Cole Bishop is easily the most improved guy on the roster. A year ago he looked like a random fan got lost on the way back to their seat and was just wandering around the secondary. This year? I have him as our best player on that side of the ball. His hustle is amazing. He either makes the play or is right there when it happens. Is he perfect? Of course not. But he looks like an entirely new player this season.

This season, home teams are 9-3 on Thursday Night Football. The three away teams that won: Seattle beat Arizona by 3 49ers beat the Rams by 3 Ravens beat the Dolphins by 22. Thursday is quirky, too. Remember earlier this year watching the Burrow-less Bengals beat the Steelers. Or the Giants pasting the Eagles by 17.

Acho is an amazingly annoying and abrasive sports personality. However, I give the guy his due. He is elite at these film breakdowns. He's really good at breaking things down with NFL level knowledge and presenting it to fans. It's totally worth the 10 and half minute watch.

Agree. He was a as great of a running back as he was as terrible a human being. He was a bit before my time but I've seen a lot of his film.

That's on par with our oline last night that allowed the Texans DL to pass right on by.

Absolutely. I saw today that Buffalo is projected at pick 22. Still a lot of football left and if we make the playoffs that could go up to the high 20s... But it could go lower too with the schedule we have. Would be a good year for Beane to move up the board a considerable amount for an Elite WR.

Lost in the shuffle of the crud fest that was last night, James Cook has broken 1,000 rushing yards with 6 games still to go. He becomes just the third Buffalo RB with over 1,000 rushing yards in 3 straight seasons joining 2 HoF running backs in 32 and Thurman Thomas. He also has the opportunity to become just the second Buffalo Bill ever to hit 1,500 rushing yards in a season. The only other Bill to do it was, of course, he whom shall not be named who did it in 3 different seasons. The next closest was Thurman Thomas's 1992 season where he came up just shy at 1,487 rushing yards.

Yeah, we already have a WR with the "missing meetings" skillset.

Plenty of room on IR for him!

If it means more Shaq that isn't a bad thing from an on field standpoint. Brown being down would really hurt the run game. Torrence is going to suffer not having Brown next to him as well We still have 6 games left until the playoffs begin. With all the guys out long term, even if we make it we would be fortunate to be more than 1 and done IMO.

Marcus West. Easily found if you Google it.

I think we are at the point where we need to ask Josh what he wants and do the opposite. It's clearly the "Costanza Paradox" in play. I think it has more to do with the steady decline in WR talent than Daboll. Going from Diggs->Beasley->Brown-Gabe to Gabe->Palmer-> Shavers -> Shakir is a noticable drop in talent.

Baltimore has won 4 games in a row. That is by definition a surge in wins for them. Tap dance around it all you want, they are getting healthier at the right time. With the schedule compared to ours, it's not unfathomable that they surge right past us.

The second schedule would break down like this: 1st place plays- Colts Rams Steelers 2nd place plays- Jacksonville or Texans Seahawks Ravens Now fully understand, some of those could change or flip flop...but there isn't much of a difference either way. It's a pick your poison.

I'm going no. The next 5 games are all ones that will be tough to win. Then behind us, you have the Texans who now own the head to head tie breaker, a surging Baltimore team and a Chief team that can hit a hot streak anytime. I think when the music stops, there's a shot we could be left without a chair.

It without a doubt sounds to me like he's blowing off the poor job he and his linemates did. Never owns up to it. Doesn't own up to the big false start that turned a 4th and 1 to a 4th and 6 on the last play. His immaturity and lack of self awareness have been why he has been my second least favorite Bill of this era.

As long as the mandate is to hire the new coordinators from outside the organization I'm in.

Also a sign of hypocritical behavior. Dawk wants to call Keon out in effort than lays a complete egg last night? Key penalty on the last play? Dion needs to grow up. Didn't even have the decency to yell "RUN, JOSH, RUN" that I could hear

These are the type of players and human beings in general I just cannot tolerate. He wants to be that vet in the locker room holding Keon accountable, fine. So be it. He's been here enough to earn that. But you and your offensive line mates give up 28 pressures, 8 sacks and you want us to look at Gabe at not coming down with what would have been an amazing catch? Really dude? Really? Accountability starts with SELF accountability. He's not only clueless, but he shifting blame. How about not false starting on they key 4th and 1 of the game? Can't guarantee it, but even if the Bills pull it out last night we are probably talking about the Texas sized ass whooping Houston laid on our supposed "top 5 OL" as some here call it Tone deaf.

This is the biggest fault I have for him. Look, in theory I do get it. We hear it at every end of season presser he does. To paraphrase: "We don't feel we are far off. We had a few key injuries, a few young guys in there and we still were two or three plays away from winning". He's right. We get close every year. And being close puts in his mind that if we "run it back" and make a few tweaks, we will accomplish the goal. It's not a horrible train of thought. But to run it back, he only sees the positives taking place. - Injured players will return and be at full health. - All young/developing players will take a step forward - Zero older player will regress. In the real world however, it doesn't always play out the way he plans. And while Beane is focused on beating his White Whale in the playoffs (Kansas City), other teams have rebuilt, caught up and passed us. For YEARS, Beane has gotten to rest on his laurels because we get the guaranteed path to the playoffs with the AFCE title. Easy peasy, right? We're in and then anything can happen. Times are changing. The division, at least in this season, runs through New England. Beane likes to say "the playoffs show you exactly where you need to improve" or something like that. Well, what about not making the playoffs altogether? Houston, right behind us with a tie breaker. Kansas City can always rip a win streak and Baltimore is back healthy with momentum. There's a real chance that after the final week we are on the outside looking in.

This isn't what we are doing today, mate. Don't use actual facts to dispute that anyone is worth a salt on this team. We are crucifying everyone be it fact or fiction.

An honest case can be made that we may not win a game the rest of this year. NE, Cle, and Philadelphia all have defenses that could shut this offense down. Cincinnati is winnable, but I fell it's going to be a "first to 50 wins" type game with the two defenses. We should beat the Jets to close out the building with a win, but will it matter by then?

That's if Knox even catches it, right? He was wide open and those are the ones he drops.
