The Chiefs are all up in their window right now... I think we're still a team with ceiling. Our defense WILL get better. A front four that gets pressure and an upgrade at linebacker are on my wish list. The Chiefs are on top right now but in a year or two, I can see it turning our way. Josh Allen is the QB we have been waiting decades for! He went toe to toe with the almighty Mahomes and only lost because he didn't touch the ball last. It sucks right now but we'll enjoy being on the other side of it sooner than later. That game was pretty damn good... even if I hate how it ended.

They've been holding since it started.

Good comparison!

Before the game started, I told my wife he'd be easy to spot... guy with long hair always chasing the play.

Leave it all on the field boys... thirty minutes left in this heavy weight bout.

Watched the whole thing! Some great memories and a solid reminder that Tasker was a special player, and I echo Hall of Fame special. Blocked punts, amazing tackles, ball hawking, and I always enjoyed seeing him catch passes. Old football is great... those clips also reminded me of a lot of great announcers that I really miss.

The Panthers aren't as bad as some people like to think. They usually play competitive games, even without McCaffrey. How many folks around here have changed their tune on the Colts being a "suck team" yet? Some of us are as bad as the pregame/halftime guys... we look at the standings and think we can accurately gauge a team from their record.

None of the receivers did much to give him a target... looks like everyone just kind of hung out in their spot.

Gilmore's been looking around a lot after plays.

He dropped that short pass in the Championship Game that would have been a first down... but overall, I haven't been disappointed with him.

I'm hoping the whole team started taking steroids at the half.

If I remember correctly, we've seen the Chargers, Ravens, and Patriots game plan to exploit Edmunds in the middle since his arrival... and do it well. He doesn't seem to improve at all.

Funny thing is that was a great wide receiver draft... we've had the two first round lemons play for us, Watkins and Kelvin Benjamin. Odell Beckham, Evans, Brandon Cooks, and Jarvis Landry were all in that group, I believe.

I see upset after upset week in and week out. The playoffs don't start tomorrow. There are seven weeks left to see who's got what. The Bills may indeed flame out but I'm not going to sit here and worry myself sick about it. I've been a Bills fan long enough to appreciate the good times. 6-4 and some of you talk like we haven't won a game. I don't think this team will lose out. For those of you trying to pick the winners from this point forward, you can't just look at records and make up your minds... it seems we had more than a few fans that overlooked the Jaguars and Colts while figuring out when Allen would be declared the MVP and questing for home field. Some of you think the book has now been written on how to stop the Bills. I guess we'll just lose out, right? I don't think it works that way. The last two weeks haven't been fun but I've SEEN McDermott make adjustments... Beane has built the best team we've had to pull for in 30 damn years. The team has a bad month and the season might circle the drain... but I'll not be scolded for being optimistic. This IS the same team that went 4-1 and got the kids dreaming of Super Bowls. Most realistic fans know it's a looong season and lots can happen. I've learned to let it play out... don't get too high or too low. I think people are having trouble reconciling their expectations. So far, the Bills are living up to mine.

So go burn all your Bills gear and get you a Pats hat... you sound like one of their entitled fans. You deserve a team that lives up to your standards. Don't settle for less. While you're at it, call the team headquarters and give them a piece of your mind! Don't forget to tell them how to right the ship.

The favorites change from week to week. We have the same team that everyone loved at 4-1. All this MVP and Super Bowl talk is nonsense at this point of any season. This team can get hot and they can play with anyone. They came up a half-yard short against the Titans in THEIR house, then lost a game they shouldn't have (Jags) and a tough matchup game (Colts). The Colts probably wanted it more. A loss for them and they would have been 4-6... more desperation. Let's see how the Bills play now that they're no longer leading their division and being written off by some fans and the ever-fickle press. I would hope they get a chip on their collective shoulder. Adjustments aren't just a halftime thing... sometimes you've got to figure things out as the season goes on. This team should make the playoffs and if they get on a roll, they could make the Super Bowl. Personally, I think the team is still an offseason or two away from assuming its ultimate form... but on any given Sunday, anything can happen.

I really hope it's just about getting some maturity and experience... but the ROI isn't looking good right now.

So what do we want for Christmas? Offensive or defensive line? Tough game but have to move on and start getting ready for the Saints. It will be another battle, for sure.

He's been one of my favorite Bills coordinators EVER. Much respect for Schwartz. Remember when he wanted to fight Harbaugh after a game?

True... the coaches have a LOT of work to do. Fortunately, there is some similar film of the Saints getting stomped by a "bad" Eagles team today.
