Inigo Montoya

Phillip Rivers. Two interceptions, one for a TD.

I think this probably means Beasley is out. If we had Diggs, Beasley, Roberts, Davis, McKenzie, and Brown ready to go, I don't know if you call up another WR from the practice squad.

It's a fair point and something I've thought about throughout this season. The fact that Allen had a better road record last season played into the thought that he got too amped up at home and played a bit too manic at home, the Kyle Brandt "Sugar High Allen". The lack of a crowd this year could have let him focus more on the game and less on the atmosphere. We'll know that answer in 24 hours.

The measure of success in this League, ultimately, is winning playoff games and Super Bowls. I love Josh Allen. I think he has a higher ceiling than Mahomes. I think he has the potential to win multiple Super Bowls. Until Josh wins a Super Bowl and shows he can still excel when all the chips are in the middle of the table, Mahomes is still the better QB. If Josh can grab a Lombardi this year or next then I think it's fair to look at this argument again. Josh hasn't shown he can succeed at the highest levels of competition yet. Here's to hoping Josh checks off that box emphatically this post season starting tomorrow.

I'm Inigo Montoya, and I approve this message.

This is the way the coaching carousel works in the NFL. A hundred different factors go into who gets a job each off season, and one of those factors is who is available to interview at the start of the off season, which for 18 teams, starts today. The internet musings of one Inigo Montoya will have no karmic effect on what happens or doesn't happen to Mr. Brian Daboll. I think it's fair for a fan of the Bills to hope that we can keep the band together for one more year if we don't win the Super Bowl this year. I think it's inevitable that Daboll ends up a head coach, it's just my wish that he does it off the glory of a recently won Buffalo Bills Super Bowl. 🍻

Chiefs are on their bye. Hopefully someone snaps him up!

NFL rules limit the ability of other teams to interview assistant coaches / coordinators if the coach's team is still in the playoff hunt. If the Bills had earned a first round bye this year other teams could have interviewed Daboll during the bye week, so the lack of a bye week helps a bit in that regard. If the Bills continue to win, the earliest any team can legally interview Daboll for a head coaching gig would be the two week period between the AFC Championship game and the Super Bowl. Let's hope that the Bills continue to win and that head coach needy teams start hiring head coaches ASAP so there are fewer partners left for Daboll once he can finally join the dance. I would love to see Daboll back as the OC next year if we don't win it all this year. Once we win a Super Bowl, I will officially give my blessing for Daboll to move on. Until then, I want Daboll whispering in Josh's ear in Orchard Park on Sundays.

I am beginning to believe the only thing that can keep us from playing in the Super Bowl this year is a virus.

This offense is scarier than the Chiefs.

Even with that amazing stat line, the best thing is that we all know that there's still some meat left on the bone.

"Life is just a twisting, sucking, eddy of despair, occasionally highlighted by false hopes, in an ever darkening universe." My best friend in basic training told me that one night and I have never forgotten it (he was quite the optimist😉). Over the last two decades those words have been a succinct description of what it's been like to be a Bills' fan. I'm not going to belabor the point of how bad it's been, we all have the scars to show for it. What strikes me now after watching this season unfold is that for the first time in a long time I don't think this season represents a "false hope". I truly believe that the Bills have turned the corner from being a perennially dysfunctional franchise into being a well run organization that should be able to have sustained success. If you are under 50 you might not remember the dumpster fire that was the New Orleans Saints year after year. Fans routinely showed up for "Aint's " games with brown paper bags over their heads. The Tampa Bay Bucs were another model of dysfunction. |They were historically bad. For years and years they lost week in and week out. In the first twenty years of the franchise they had seventeen seasons with six or less wins. The Saints and the Bucs were just horrible. Then something happened... Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis teamed up in New Orleans, and Tony Dungy and John McKay got together in Tampa. They stopped the skid. They drafted soundly. They coached hard. They changed the culture. They built professional football organizations from top to bottom. They began to win. They won Super Bowls. That is what I see happening now with Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott in Buffalo. They are working in concert. They have the same philosophy of how to build a successful organization. No detail is too small. Every part of the organization is being optimized to strengthen the whole. They are bringing in staff, coaches, and players who all are pulling on the rope in the same direction, and they are getting traction. They have stopped the two decades long skid. The Buffalo Bills have become a model NFL franchise. How long has it been since we could say that? I think we have a real shot to win a Super Bowl this year, but even if we fall short, I would be shocked if this organization doesn't win a Super Bowl in the next three years. I think we are set up as a franchise with the Pegulas, Beane, and McDermott to enjoy a sustained period of competitiveness in the NFL. I think we will be a franchise that is consistently at the top of the NFL. After so many years of wandering in the desert, I think the Bills have finally arrived.

"I specifically asked for a side of Ranch!"

I think Belichick was upset because he just got humiliated on national TV. Making things worse is that he knows he is going to be coaching the third best team in the division for the foreseeable future, and there's not a damn thing he can do about it. That BB press conference was the cherry on top of a fabulous Monday night.

Well, if you say so, that's all I need to hear! 🍻

My point is the same people advocating on this thread that the Bills play to win a meaningless Week 17 game will suddenly forget that opinion and nuke McDermott for being stupid enough to play Allen in a meaningless game. The chance of the Bills winning a single playoff game without Allen is <5%.

I'd rather play the Phins than Derrick Henry in bad weather in Orchard Park.

If Josh Allen gets injured playing in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Dolphins, every post on this message board will be dropping napalm on McDermott. If there is nothing to play for, let the starters get in for a series, and then sit them just like last year. We didn't lose the Houston game because the starters rested the week before. We came out hot and got on top of the Texans early and only a comedy of errors and bad officiating cost us the game.

The Grinch who stole Christmas...

I'd go four or five wide and let Josh pick them apart until Bill cries uncle. I trust our wide outs to get a step of separation off the line. I trust Josh to make the right read and put the ball where it needs to go. Bill would like nothing better than to take the ball out of Josh's hands. We need to try and stop him from doing it. Just one man's opinion.

How do we do the dark mode? Sounds interesting...

I love it! My avatar picture looks wonderful. It's like I've had some work done and it's taken 10 years off my face!!! Inconceivable!!!
