Mahomes has gone through stretches with poor receivers. He has always had Kelce, but Kelce has been a shadow of himself the last year or two. I think Mahomes is currently being held back by the lack of talent around him, including an oline that has problems. I think the Bills and Chiefs have a lot of similarities, actually. It's just frustrating that the Bills have been slightly below the Chiefs.

Pat Mahomes, Aaron Donald, Peyton Manning, and Reggie White could be considered for such a list as well, I think. The old timers might include Jim Brown.

That was one of the best rule changes of the past few decades. That along with getting rid of penalties for crowd noise.

Who are the other four?

I guess it does matter since the Bills are 7-3. They are winning way more than they are losing.

Why?

I get that. I just don't see a logical reason to get rid of it, personally.

I agree. I see no reason to ban the play from any standpoint. It just needs to be officiated closely to catch false starts, Offside, lining up in the neutral zone, etc.

That's what I thought. I thought players with 4 accrued seasons don't go through waivers, but everything I see says Cooks will go through waivers, so maybe the rule changed? Or I'm just missing something.

The Bills signed John Brown and Cole Beasley who were just better players. I think he was also injured in the preseason, so didn't get much practice time, so the offense just passed him by. He then bounced around on a bunch of practice squads for a couple of years.

I remember when I thought Robert Foster was going to become a good receiver. And then he disappeared forever. We'll see what Shavers turns into. That game could have been the highlight of a forgettable career, or it could be a springboard to something more. Time will tell.

Probably, but it is what it is. Every AFC contending team has at least a couple of ugly losses this year. The NFL is wide open. Any team can beat any team. There is still a lot of season left.

Everyone said that last year and we beat them. Everyone said that this year in the regular season and we beat them. Let the chips fall as they may and go beat (or lose to) whoever it is. That's all you can do.

The road to the superbowl is going to require the Bills to play tough teams.

They can sign him to the 53 if a team tries to sign him. Davis will most certainly want to stay.

Gabe can be called up a couple more times, so no need to put him on the roster yet.

The Bills will be favored in at least two out of three.

They changed the locks.

If you miss a field goal, the downside is greater the further the distance, because the opposing offense takes over from that spot. I think the risk/reward is already baked in and you actually don't see the insanely long field goals attempted unless time is expiring at the half or end of game or the team HAS to late in the game to keep their hopes alive.

Josh isn't playing particularly well right now. That's a big problem. But I think the offensive coordinator is a big part of the problem as well.

What's wrong with long field goals? You'd rather see an increase in punting?

I'd hire Daboll back in an instant if he was willing to come back.

I don't see why QBs were given all week to prepare balls for Sunday while kickers were only given an hour before the game. The standard should be the same for any ball regardless of it being kicked or thrown. So, if we are wanting kickers to have to use brand new balls, QBs should as well. I personally don't see any issue with kickers getting to prepare the balls how they want OR that they are making longer kicks because of it. Kickers back in the 90s and before could prepare the balls how they wanted as well. They introduced the 90 minute rule in 1999. If anything, they are just getting back to the way things used to be for the majority of NFL history.

As most of us here have been saying all season long.
