  1. I think the Bills have the edge. Cant see the cards D shutting down our O. In fact, with both Mongo and Morse, I dont see it at all. I love our energy. Its growing, and I don't see a let down.

     

    I like AZ to make some mistakes with our CBs and Safeties. I like for the Bills D to generate some turnovers, and play a little better than even last week.

     

    34-21 Bills

    The annoying thing here is this whole cast has been slobbing all over a 5-3 fins team for 2 weeks now. We're 7-2 with wins over 4 teams with winning records(most in the league)and we have to win another one against a good team to not be doubted. Thats silly talk.

     

    ..and Tua is the next Montana after one decent game.

    Interesting stuff about Knox.  He’s been all hype and little production so far in his career and he’s definitely at a crossroads.  Injuries, drops, penalties and missed blocks have been real problems for him.  But the ability is there and it sounds like the Bills turned down a few lowball offers for him at the deadline so they still think he can turn it around.  It’s really time for him to flash.  

     

    Knox was a 3rd round pick. I know we traded back up for him, but that is hardly uber "hype". Most of the hype has come because he's flashed and played good at times. Plus Buffalo fans have always been obsessed with finding a TE who could be big and badass...but we never get them.  We have a legacy of hyping our Derrick Fines and Mark Campbells of the world until they show otherwise. He has produced, but yeah he's not that Travis Kelce kinda guy and has a ways to go. He's not reliable. I'm willing to give him some more time.

    ESPN knows how to screw itself up. They pay big money to big mouths and messes up what folks like. For instance, changing the radio shows. I loved Golic and Wingo. They lost me when they changed their crew. Golic was I realized who I was listening to. It certainly wasn't Mike Greenberg. Did anyone listen to Greeny's show today? I about gagged when he talked about what he would have for his Master's dinner. One Buffalo wing you must eat with a knife and fork????? Did I hear that right???!!! And he throws shade at others choices...I vowed not to listen to him and I haven't watched his morning show.

    I have been enjoying NFL Networks GMFB. Nice set of characters just having fun. Like ESPN use to be....

     

    You lost me when you said you like Golic and Wingo.  Show was terrible from day 1. Wingo is a huge reason for ESPN demise. 

     

    Mike and Mike was a good show, but ESPN radio was equally ruined by hot take guys. 

     

    GMFB is a great show, and I agree. Get talented people and really allow chemistry to brew.

     

    Many of the hot take shows on ESPN involve people waiting to speak and hear their own voice,  sitting at a highball table, shouting at each other, way too serious...no chemisty. Ego arrogance.

     

    I cant stand shows like PTI or Around the Horn either.

    I'd also like to use this thread to vent about the insanity of general sport discussion shows. I was looking for Bills related stuff on Youtube today and it was full of titles like "Stephen A Smith takes a huge ***** on Seahawks!" "keyshawn Johnson calls Josh Allen's girlfriend a ho!" complete with a screen grab of said 'expert' in mid shout.

     

    And when you do click on one it's just a bunch of guys shouting at each other for five minutes. I get that I sound old, and I probably am, and I understand how clickbait works, but how about a show where people just discuss sports in an intelligent way. Disagreeing but not screaming? Would anyone watch such a show? There are a few out there that almost achieve this but I haven't seen many

    Half the time you click and its not as advertised either.

    I have to agree that the constant politics in your face is a huge turnoff. I guess they just can't help themselves.

     

    SJWs are this generation's Bible Thumper. And just as much fun to talk to...and have mixed in with your sports.

     

    I miss the Boomer/NFL Countdown days. I would look forward to that show all day!

     

    If they got back to their roots, I would probably come back. While all the different league specific channels (NFL Network, MLB Network, etc) are good, ESPN was really the only place you can go to get a little something from everywhere. I would actually get a little interested in other sports from their highlights, something that wouldn't have happened without Sportscenter. And I think there is still a market for something like that.

     

    They just need to get away from the "stars", return to growing non-athlete reporting talent, stop producing shows like they're tabloids and get rid of the non-sports talk.  Is that asking too much??

     

    You are dead on. The anchors used to be stand up comics...they were great, talented, guys/ gals. They drove ESPN, along with a few athletes who were good chemistry guys, not necessarily stars. So many of these athletes or coaches are terrible...also killing NFL radio on Sirius as well. Guys like Brett Favre and Charlie Weiss are horrible. 

     

    I recall the product watering down when sportscenter splintered into the 24/7 ESPNews cycle, suddenly the anchors were boring, apart from a few examples. 

     

    From an NFL standpoint, Wingo really hurt them. Then they phased out NFL gameday...to primetime and just never had the talent to replenish. Why not keep Dan Patrick? 

     

    Now its gotten so bad....the programming way to gaudy, woke, or loud. Meanwhile GMFB is awesome. Great chemistry.

     

    Also, hitching a wagon to Steven A Smith was a huge mistake. I generally think they overrated the appeal of the hot take shows too.

    How would I fix ESPN? Leave politics at the door...

     

    This is a huge factor. No matter how you slice your politics, you cant deny its there, and that at least 50 percent of the country disagrees with everyone else.

     

    I know politics have been embedded with sports for a long time, now and then, but largely people watch sports to escape.

  8. Josh has played pretty good in domes...

     

    Big wins against Vikes, Cowboys, Lions 

     

    Played pretty well in Texans losess...Josh played fast in both those games. I bet had Josh not gotten hurt in the first Texan game in 18 we would have won.

     

    I don't recall the loss to Colts in 2018.

     

    I still have that bad, stinging memory of the 2008 Loss. I went to that game in AZ, got a flat tire ( blow out)  on my way...not fun. We were late and Trent Edwards got hurt on the way in. Will always remember that game.

    I'm a big believer in the mental aspects of competition.  In the "guess the score" thread for the Seattle game, I picked the Bills to win based on the desire to make a statement much like the Dallas Turkey Bowl last year.  The NFL is really an "any given Sunday" league, and winning is as much mental as physical. The Saints aren't that much better than the Bucs, they just wanted/needed to make a statement more than the Over-confident Bucs.  

    My point, I'm less confident about this game than I was about the Seahawks.  McD is good at getting the players prepared each week, but players are susceptible to the mental challenges week-to-week.  This is a game the Bills should win because they are the better team, but that mentality, if held by the players, could be their undoing this week...I hope not. 

     

    This Bills team seems good here though. They dont usually sandbag and generally have a focused attitude. McD does a good job keeping them on point.

  10. I dont see our Team struggling to move the ball. I think our offense will click down there in a dome. Get up and get scoring early...like today make them keep pace. 

     

    My only concerns are giving up sacks, cant give up so many and have to run more. 7 sacks on a regular basis will lose games. Got to have more believable Play action.

     

    I see D selling out to stop run and contain QB, need to count on corners and safeties. Hopefully healthy back there.

     

    QB is a handful....but we've contained running QBs before. See strategy last year for Ravens...which was a good execution. 

     

    I think the Bills have more talent and are a better team. I Like the Bills in this one, but do think its going to be similiar race track kinda game.

    I get your bigger point. But the anxiety is we are 7-2 and they are 5-3, and we still have to run the gauntlet. We have little room for error. 

     

    What Guantlet? We're better than the Cards and should beat them.

     

    49ers will be down QB and best player TE. 

     

    Steelers will be tough, but Phins play KC, and some common opponents. ( Pats, Broncos, Chargers)

     

    Then we play Phins in Dec ...yikes..rookie QB ....i like our chances.

     

    ...not seeing this guantlet, not after today.

    They demolished a solid Rams team with this same rookie QB doing next to nothing and won on the road against one of the top QB's and offenses with a rookie QB who played just solid.

     

    Ya'll are in serious denial about the Dolphins but the good news is the Bills path to 11 or 12 wins which is what they need to win the division and keep pace with the Dolphins looks much more promising after beating one of the leagues elite teams today.

     

    No ive just watched rookie QBs for years and know that you dont set your clock by them...even the great ones. 

     

    He flashed some stuff today, but also a lot of panicked runs and lucky..loosey goosey crap.

    Josh Allen in 5 career games vs. Miami is 4-1 with 17 total TD’s and only 4 turnovers. I’m not even sure the week 17 matchup will matter against the Dolphins because the Bills will have locked up the division. 

     

    Remember that game winner bounced right off Crooms chest.

    Just now, Brianmoorman4jesus said:

    But that only matters if we win the same amount of games. Miami is most likely going to be 9-3 here. If they win more games then the Bills, tie breaker is useless 

     

    Nah... Phins aint good enough to chaulk up wins at Denver, Pats, and Chargers...etc... They still play KC! 

     

    They will easily lose a slew of games...relax.
