  1. I grew up in Tonawanda so any trip back to Buffalo means Ted's Hotdogs and Anderson's frozen custard on Sheridan Dr.  Check out a Wegman's grocery store but don't blame me if you never look at your regular grocery store the same again.   Duff's has good wings and we love Bocce pizza.  The Canadian side of the Falls is touristy but nice.  Need passports or birth certs for the kids, the customs people on the Canadian side of the Peace Bridge always seem to channel their inner Mossad when we go across.  The Maid of the Mist is really cool.  Hope you have a great time!

  2. The Ravens were the better team last night but the Bills won.  

     

    The Bills were a bit like KC a couple seasons ago who kept pulling out improbable wins week after week to earn the #1 seed.

     

    I have no desire to see the Bills face the Ravens again in the playoffs.

  3. I'm sure this isn't a new observation, but Cooks is likely to have a longer career playing in Buffalo where he is nota bell cow back.  He was 22nd in RB touches and 19th in rush attempts last year, and still managed to score 16 TDs in the regular season.

     

    He runs behind a premier O-Line and has the best QB in the league on the field with him.  They use him in a limited basis reducing the wear and tear on his body and he is put in position to be very successful and score a lot in this elite offense.  I don't think he will find another situation that is as favorable. 

     

    There is likely a $2-3m a year difference in what he wants and what the Bills will pay.  Playing one extra season makes up for that.

  4. You don't get bonus points if a WR scores a TD.   I just don't understand this "controversy" at all.  If the Bills were struggling to score points I think it would be a valid criticism....  But they're not.  In fact, their offense is prolific, elite, record setting, conference leading.

     

    Josh Allen is so good you can get by with less in the WR room and still score 30 points a game.  Take the savings of not having a $25m a year WR on the roster and put those dollars into the defense which is clearly the weak link on the team.   It isn't 3D chess, it's freaking checkers.

  5. There may be a bit of passive aggressive Beane action here.  Resign everyone who stayed off social media first.  Beane says he doesn't care, but you know it has to rankle him a little bit.  I think a deal will get done, but not before using it as a teaching moment for the rest of the roster.  I suspect player agents will also take notice and advise their players to shut up with the social media stuff when dealing with Beane.

  6. The offense they put out there last season was good enough to win a Super Bowl.  Josh elevates his WRs and having a great O-Line and a real running game will get the job done on that side of the ball again.

     

    We need to build the defense this off season and that is where I hope Beane makes the big investments.

  7. My head explodes when it's 2nd & 1, 3rd & 1, or 4th & 1 and the Bills don't do the Tush Push.  It's darn near automatic and they usually end up getting 2 or 3 yards on the play.  That 4th quarter drive last night where they kicked the late field goal to go up 8 is a great example.  They should have Tush Pushed and they probably are in the end zone and could have saved me the end-of-game angina.

     

    Don't get cute... Just run the Tush Push for the love of Almighty God!!!

    I kept hearing all mvp talk crap on X for half the year "what do you mean Josh doesnt have any help.. he has the best oline in football." Ok where is that reflected in votes?

     

    We have a really good O Line, not intending to diss them at all, but when you have Houdini back there it covers up a lot of warts and makes the stats look good.  Put Tua or Goff back there and see what the sack numbers look like.

    Does this allow for any sort of negotiated injury settlement? (Not sure Watson has any incentive to do that though). But Watson probably cares more about the cash than the cap hit, and if there is something that allows the Browns to get out from the cap situation, he might be willing to help with that.

     

     

     

    I don't know how much NFL contracts can be restructured, but could Watson and the Browns agree to a Bobby Bonilla type contract where he gets 5 million a year for the next thirty years?  He gets his money and the Browns get some cap relief.

    Right before our game last week I checked the mock drafts and they had the Pats taking Travis Hunter at #3.  Maye to Hunter could be a pretty solid combo over the next 5 years if that happens.

     

    With the Pats out of the QB sweepstakes next Draft, I'd be surprised if they didn't trade down and pick up some more draft picks to restock the empty cupboard in Foxborough.  The #3 pick should be worth the other team's 2025 and 2026 first round picks, and some other lesser picks for a team hunting their franchise QB.

  11. Anytime the ball is on the 1 yard line and they don't give it to Josh Allen to be pushed across the line makes my head explode.  It's the highest percentage play in the playbook. 

     

    Last game is a perfect example.  3rd and goal on the 1 and they try something stupid that fails and they get a penalty on top of it.   Now it's 4th and goal at the 6 and Bass misses the field goal.  They had two shots to push Allen's azz 1 yard for a touch down and got cute and scored zero points as a result.

     

    When it's 4th and 1,  or if the ball is on 1 yard line, don't show me how clever you are, give it to your 6' 5" 245 lb QB and push him forward a yard.

     

    Period.

  12. Don't understand the Cowboys.  Dowdle is averaging 7.3 yards a carry tonight.  The Cowboys get the ball back with five minutes left in the game, tied score.  They give the ball to Dowdle who rips off a 14 yard run on 1st down.  The next three plays they call are incomplete passes and then they punt the ball back to Burrow with 4 minutes left.  WTF?

    I hope not. This offense is at its best when it doesn’t go for the big, sexy plays, but the high probability “small” plays gaining 5-7 yards a pop. Those big plays will work themselves out naturally like they have on our win streak. 
     

    i really hope josh doesn’t try to press, especially these next two weeks, trying to get a highlight reel for MVP. Just take the underneath stuff that has gotten us 7 straight wins. Don’t get aggressive and put the ball in harms way. 

     

     

    Agree.  This year our big plays are high percentage short to medium passes with RAC yardage, not low percentage bombs down the field.  That has been the recipe for success.  I don't expect Joe Brady is going to go away from that.

    At the start of the year I had hopes for another divisional champion, and a playoff win. 
     

    If we can get healthy and play a complete game I think we are better than anticipated a few weeks ago. Hopefully Josh is healthy and stays that way and we get our D healthy. 
     

    Chiefs got the injury bug going on D too so it will be interesting. 

     

    A legit O-line and running game has been the difference and should help Josh stay healthy for the stretch run.

  15. The only team ahead of us is the Lions with a whopping differential of +100 with a game in hand.  Third place are the Washington Commanders at 69.  The Chiefs sit undefeated with a point differential of +50 and a game in hand.

     

    Not too shabby for a BIlls team that has been battling injuries and suspensions to key players this season.  Let's hope we can continue to get healthy and keep up the complimentary football.

     

    The rest of the AFCE's point differentials;

    Jets  - 20

    Phins  - 60

    Pats  - 73
