Allen and Daboll have been helping the oline a lot today with a lot of plays on the move.

I think picking up the flag was the right thing to do, but we see plays like that penalized all the time. So it could have easily been a penalty.

Yes, but it was also a flop by Jones. Stupid for Hughes to even touch him, though.

So far Sanders is only hurting the team today. When Davis is back he should be starting over him.

Wow, what a throw by Josh. Incredible.

Brutal drop. Dang it Sanders!

Breida has been pretty ineffective the past couple of weeks. I hope they still plan to give Singletary the workload.

Maybe Brown got drunk and that's why he committed all those penalties.

No. Do the smart thing. Be aggressive if that's needed. Be conservative if that's needed. Be like Bill Belichick.

The always going for it on 4th down thing is silly. We've seen tons of teams lose this year because they didn't take the points in field goal range. Meanwhile, we have Bill Belichick, who everyone says is the best coach ever, who almost always takes the points and kicks field goals if he is in range. McDermott gets blasted for being conservative, when Bill Belichick is undeniably a conservative coach. In my opinion you should go for it sometimes, when the situation demands it, but you should take fields goals most of the time. Points are going to be valuable in this game, and I don't trust our COVID decimated oline to successfully help the team convert 4th downs. The key is to play mistake free, fundamental football. That's what Bill Belichick does. He doesn't follow trends. He doesn't rely too much on analytics. He just plays fundamental football, game plans to take away a team's strength, and waits for the other team to make mistakes and beat themselves.

Maybe if this happened a few days ago. I just think it is too late now.

That's not good. Do we even have enough players on the oline now?

Hogwash.

Gauging anything by Pats fans sentiment is foolish. They are a fan base of tools. We could beat them for 10 straight years and they'd still be smug and delusional. They live in their own reality. A rivalry is not between fans and fans anyway. I don't really consider the Pats and Bills rivals other than the fact they are in the same division. I think true rivalries need to go back and forth. One team could have a stretch of dominance for a bit, then the other. Both teams should be somewhat equal. I think going forward it could turn into a rivalry. If the Bills and Pats are both 1st and 2nd in the division each year and the division is hotly contested, and they have a playoff match or two, it will be a full blown rivalry in a couple of years.

Poyer deserves it more than anyone. He has had a great year.

Thanks. That's why I think the AFC is better. We just don't get that sense at first blush because the AFC teams are beating each other a lot.

AFC. The NFC is more top heavy. The AFC has a lot more good teams that have all been beating up each other. Anyone have the record of AFC teams versus NFC teams this year? I'd be interested to see that.

I think it's better to try to play all the games. Plus, with vaccinated players testing positive due to the new variant, things are different now than they were before the season.

I wouldn't be surprised if he actually is vaccinated. He sure as heck would not tell anyone if he was.

You quoted my quote. I didn't say that.

I did see the tweet about the Josh Allen leg lamp. https://twitter.com/BuffaloBills/status/1473098643947229184?s=20

Just have to see how it plays out. I'll say this: throwing an INT per game is not helping his chances.

Interesting that the NFL's answer to the lastest surge in positive cases is to test less. Not sure what that helps.

So last year we had a really close first game against the Patriots and it came down to Zimmer causing that fumble on Cam late in the game. The 2nd game we blew their doors off. Now that McDermott and the coaches have seen how the Patriots operate and plan against them, I think the Bills should be able to counter them. At least that's the hope. I think the Bills are the more talented team, but the Patriots are the more consistent team.

Sanders had some good games as a Bill, but Davis is just more solid and more clutch. He should get more opportunities. We would not have won that playoff game against the Colts without Davis.
