Ideal scenario is that the Bills win the Superbowl this year. Finally. Get it done. Even if all opposing starting QBs happen to be injured all playoff long. Then we can start being picky.

Imagine the Bengals with the Bills Oline. Or if the Bills had the Texans defense. Or if my aunt had balls. ALL the teams having glaring weaknesses. Salary cap, limited number of players available, 32 teams wanting to get better. Name me one perfect team in 2025? Tua and now Higgins. Bills became unwillingly part of this controversy. Both cases are crazy suspect indeed and look bad. As for Dawkins, he was laughing it up with the Texans players as soon as the game was over, as pointed out many times on this board. Yet he was out for a concussion after. When did it happen?

Walker still show flashes. And to my annoyance, he often makes great plays on 2nd down so gets immediately taken out for 3rd downs. Yet, he is making plays. Leave the hot hand in. Only rotate when things are "normal"

The overall quick wit thinking and athleticism it took for that play, how smooth he was doing it, he sure looked fine. But as we all saw, he hit his head hard twice, and showed bad signs in his reactions. It's supposed to be independent neurologists doing the evaluatuion, is it not?

I mean, he obviously hit his head twice, and one time, clearly showed he had issues, yet he did the protocols, and he played well till the end. His one hand TD catch, you can't do that with your brains scrambled. He had adjusted smartly to the ball too. IMO he was fine. But yeah, if not for that play, I too would think it's suspect.

We barely heard of Chase so you know Benford was doing it right!

Well, his two long runs. One for a TD , one to ice the game. They were just... wow. I don't think either were planned either.

They aren't the Superbowl favorites we thought they were, but the positive here, NO team is this year! None! So while their chance to win it all is quite slim, its is NOT over. You fight and let the chips fall. We thought they were better. But who thought the Chiefs and Ravens would have 5 losses at this point? Yet their fanbases are more optimistic then ours.

They lost a the very end of the game. The Dolphins loss was a beatdown. Even the best teams get blown out. In fact, the Bills have been the "less blowout" team for years, and almost never at home. Hey I hated this loss. And I'm mad too. I'm just also sick of "fire everybody" "it's over" and blablabla after EVERY loss. I do mean all the time. The Texans D looked like from another league that doesn't even exist, so we have to consider that. They've won 3 times with Mills (3-0). Their offense has to be REALLY bad to be 6-5 with such a defense. Yet CJ Stroud is touted as a wonder weapon. While some Bills fans are turning on Josh. Make it make sense!

While it sure did matter, and I had the same thought, that makes it a trip to the dentist? What do you expect? Only perfect games and perfect outcomes? A 20-0 season? As for coaches change, yes, Ben Johnson and Vrabel were good choices. Even though you know Vrabel was fired too? But that was last year. Who do you get now? Some of you were yapping to bring back Daboll! You seemed to forget how disliked he was here at the end. And he called horrible offensive plays for the Giants. No you don't do change just for change.

THIS I admit this year has been the most frustrating so far in the JA17 era. But to those who say "we aren't spoiled". Maybe, but you're acting like it! I too am in a "Superbowl or bust" mood. I really expected this team, this year, to win it all. And since the Dolphins loss, they really look like a B+ team, not the A+ powerhouse we thought they were. That's heart crushing. Just like the Giants back then, they might win it all still. But it's such a longshots it sucks. But they are still a top NFL team yet this fanbase cries and whines and moans. NO team is undefeated! All have weaknesses. Ravens and KC are 5-5. Yet so many fans focus on all the Bills weaknesses as if other teams had none. It's tiring. And we all feel JA17 is being wasted. BUT, before you fire coaches, you need to know who will replace them! Way too many fans have this fire everybody approach as if great coaches and great players are sitting on a shelf, just waiting to be taken.

The point is not to blame the Bills injuries for the loss. But that you make their play worse as the Texans were not fully healthy.

And if the Bills had Oliver and Hoecht, if Bernard was healthy, and so on. To say nothing of Kincaid. I can't understand you "fans" that act like bitter wives. Excuses are good for other teams but not for the Bills? The Bills O was rated #2 yet you act like it's a tire fire. As if the other teams were running on all cylinders. Did Palmer even play before that 4 & 27? Dude needs to step up! But.. what a play that was! Too bad it was all for nothing. That and the misdirection in the 1st half, and the great timing of the screen to counter the blitz, etc. were good stuff. But one we should expect from an OC on the regular. The lack of help to the OLine, like using SOME max protection, 6th linemen, whatever, I just don't get.

7-4. It sucks. The Cheats are 9-2, even KC and the Ravens are coming back. Texans could have a tie breaker at the end. And on and on. None of that is fun in any way. But you guys act like the Bills were wiped off the map. The lost a super close one, and without the missed extra point, would have tied the game easy to go to OT. No, Pegula won't fire Beane and McD tonight. No Brady isn't fired after facing the #1 D. Best part of this game: Josh is still playing. He seemed done after that hit in the first half. A right wrist/elbow injury would be no fun though

Dude didn't play long! Cue Arnold: he'll be back
