Surprising they are still 2nd but IDK what's happening much to the other top teams. I'm in the camp that RBs can NOT be MVPs... but Henry is an exception. Even Tannehill's TD run and half the passes were because the D was focused on him.

My kid's highschool football team played without punts and kickoffs. Punts were 25 yards. Of course for pros it'd have to be more. Sure. you get used to it. But I much prefer how it is now. You guys really want to take this out of the game? It's called FOOTball for a reason...

Hopefully he goes to the WFT or elsewhere. Not in the division.

Yeah me too. Not every team kills the blitzes like the Chiefs and Bills... use them. I thought Star, Philipps and Zimmer did a decent job in the middle. It was the outside rushe that were missing, though Hughes seemed on fire for the first quarter. Titans sure threw quick passes too. I wonder how they gave up so many sacks before facing the Bills...

They have played great all year, including yesterday. And yes, Hyde sure showed no hesitation taking on that coming freight train. IDK if it's coaches, them, both, but in the last years, I don't recall a wide open receiver behind our secondary like we often see in highlights, or like Beasley yesterday, or Knox last week.

Often times, the Bills have used trick plays instead of sneaks... and well the OL is not that great at pushing people back. Still, I'm sure they get this at least 85% of the time. And IMO Josh "didn't slip" on his own, he ran into the opposing DL that wasn't blocked well enough!

If they learn from adjusting against playaction, just like they did not letting the OL hang out to dry like in game 1, that'd be great. And while Henry did not make any significant runs while he was doing a screen instead of running between the tackles, he was a threat and hopefully that gives Daboll the idea to do it more with Singletarry and Moss! They can be good in open space, and no often holes between the tackles for them...

Clearly for the Bills D, Henry was a gigantic factor. Beside his long run, he was good but held in check fairly well. Yet, Tannehill's TD run, and soooo many intermediate passes were because the D was focusing on Henry. In the 1st quarter, there was a few plays with Klein there along Milano and Edmunds, yet it stopped soon after. IDK why. It stopped the run. But yeah, those short passes are what KOed the Bills, and most of these came off playactions. What was a bummer to me is that the Bills clearly looked one of the top teams still, but beatable. And well, being beatable and winning the SB is a harder mix. Doable but it'll be quite the task. Not the overall dominant powerhouse, even if still a Top 8 team. Good point is that the coaches will learn from this, as they did from the Steelers L. Compared to year 1, I feel McD and co mostly adjust real well at halftime. It's the INGAME adjustments they really lack. IDK why.

1st half it was clear as day Bills were the better team. Execution and a few miscues, especially on offense, cost them in that 1st half but they were dominant. 2nd half, another matter. A battle of equals. With the banged up Titans secondary, it shouldn't be. If that special teams pass was to make Bills fans mad, it sure worked on me ha ha. Small payback, at least, with the forward pass call.

All commentators agree and I do too. Yeah it didn't work but good calculated risks on so many levels

My question would be more specific: how to watch the feed with Peyton and Eli?

Patrick seems all class unless I missed the memo - I can't be sure but that's my impression. But his family sure seems total trash.

I watched the 4th quarter and OT. Yet another incredible finish this year. There has been so many epic games on prime time so far, crazy. Yet, I realized I still want the Bills to win every game 40-0, it's just better for my health ha ha.

Yep. Which shows how much the potential is insane, Bad games, injuries, many factors can derail in one game, so reaching, let alone winning, the Superbowl is not given at all. But Bills are so well balanced, so talented including depth, the odds of them faltering in all phases in one game at a critical game are slim. Awesome!

The Bill(s) Collectors Yep, time to pay the BILLS, with interest

Steve Tasker in a recent interview mentioned that with the relatively weak opposition for the Bills in the next weeks, staying focused will be hard for a team blowing up the opposition, being #1 in betting odds for the SB and in power rankings, etc. This thread proves he's right ha ha. Of course, the Brady showdown is exciting and all, no one can deny that. but as others have mentioned, focus week to week. Now it's the Titans that should be the topic.

Keep your heads in the sand. Anyway, I can't really write what I want as I'll be banned. And you talk of another echo chamber that I'd fit in that censors even more? Ha ha. I thought this was a Bills fan forum, not we had to think a certain way but I've known better for a while now. I don't care abut Gruden but about all the reasons why it's happening. And anyone with a tiny brain can see this is an hatchet job against him. They leaked one thing, it wasn't enough so they leaked more. Now he resigned. And not one tiny bit of any other emails of his or anyone on the WFT or communicating with them are mentioned. Sure. Nothing to see here. He is a RACIST because that's what the media now say, and there is nothing more to the story. Ban him. Cue Randy Moss crying. I'm out. Flame all you want now in all your righteous moral superiority.

Keep missing my point. Which is NOT that he resigned or had been fired. How many times do I have to post this? It's that he is smeared way beyond what he wrote with all the racist, anti-women broad brush accusation, and thus no one in any big organisation will ever hire him again. That his punishment greatly exceeds his actions. But that too will pass over your head.

Remember the Asian woman that worked for the New York Times that had been calling for the death of all white people and numerous other racist threats on Twitter— she was never fired nor did she have to apologize. No, she doesn't work for the NFL - but it's the same sort of mob "justice" that is applied here. Yes, Gruden had no choice but to "resign" aka get fired. I never disputed that. He's an idiot. You just won't acknowledge that he will be basically shunned by all for life for this, and that my point is that his punishment is overkill, not that he has to get none. As again, where are the specific anti-Black and anti-women remarks? Fat lip? Calling someone a pu**y? If that's all it takes to be discarded and accused of all the "isms" and be smeared as a despicable man...

I loooove JJ Watt but I didn't want him simply because of salary cap considerations. No other reason but of course a big one - and recall that Josh's contract hadn't been signed yet. Rousseau and others are a great bonus ha ha, but no one could foresee that.

Oh yeah thousands of other applicants have the resume of Gruden 🙄. I love how pro-censorship people justify it to themselves every which way as the 'cause' is so just as to justify any means. You know it's all about not shocking anyone, not any actual crime committed here? Yet his punishment will be way worse than those that did, and violent ones at that. But hey, it's just "moral relativism" to point this, right? Stealing gas is the same as raping and killing? Oh yeah, I forgot, it's not a legal case here, so who cares, ban the man for life. BTW, you know that all the suspensions, even if related to crime, were not in a way part of a legal process either? BTW I wouldn't want Gruden as a coach for the Bills, didn't care at all for his commenting, but that was because my respect of his skills were not very high. I seem to "defend" him now it's because I can't stand this PC mob justice, media fed at that, that's partial and strangely only applies to a certain group and not others. I wish none of it existed BTW, not that it'd be applied to all! It can affect all of us, and the ones not getting censored now wil get their turn later if the string pullers decide so. Re-edit: if you fire him for being a pouty mouth, insulting the commissioner and very specific people, having made an anti-gay remark, all things that look bad and unprofessional for the Raiders organization he is head coach for, fine. But it goes way beyond, now he is accused of being a bigot, racist, misogynic, and all that crap. Sorry, but his track record and even his remarks don't point to that. Complete overkill, yet again, when it's these subject matters.

Approve censorship if you want. I don't. These emails were so dumb my head hurts ha ha, but they were still made to be private, and while he does make antigay remarks, that's true, most of the other supposedly racists or antiwomen stuff is pouty mouth football/sports talk, stuff that's being going on forever just a few years back in sports, certainly in his days. Dumb? Oh yes. Now that it's public, he had to "resign"? Sure. But banned from all future announcing jobs, analyst, advisor, coaching, etc. for life? Nope, I don't agree, at all.

Yeah, reading kicking a woman in the head while she was on the floor seems quite the crime, but it wasn't that bad. He got the right punishment. Gruden will likely never work in any shape or form in anything NFL related unless he starts his online blog etc. Total overkill punishment. I just saw a great Steve Tasker interview, and one of the peeps asking questions AND praising him with obvious respect is Keyshawn Johnson. Remember him and his BOOK that includes racial innuendos against his White teammate? Talk about bad. A book. Worse than emails that were meant to be private. Yet, he still played, had a super career, can work in football still.. as it should be. Punishments must fit the crimes.

No YOU missed my point. He does deserve some punishment, I wrote that. But not PERMANENT BANISHMENT from all things football related! That's why I used the other incidents, as these dudes got suspended... but not for LIFE, and not in every possible aspect. If you don't think that's overkill, that's on you.

Since my first language is Québécois, I should use some TABARNAK to spice up the crowd experience ha ha At home, I'm bad. In the stadium, I've mostly behaved. I have kids so I get it ha ha. When the fins were visiting the Bills years ago, some guys in the crowd, AFTER a win no less. were throwing empty beer cans at a dude in a fish tshirt walking out with his about 5 yo son. Talk about overkill.
