Nah, Brown is past his use by date, only good in small doses. I agree Davis is a problem, however what I would like to see is more Cook involved in the passing game, get him the ball in the open field. Hines as well, just look at the way Mahomes has been utilizing McKinnon.

The 2019 Bills were 10-6… 13-3, with a win over the *1 seed, in their house, and they are “flawed everywhere”? Plus “better Josh Allen” goes a long way when he’s always the best player on the field. Bills won’t take a 4th loss, something tells me they’re standing pat at 3.

I personally couldn’t give a shite who we play, they’ll beat whoever is put in front of them. Playoffs are put up or shut up time, Dolphins limped across the finish line. Tua was playing horrible before his 37th concussion of the season… Speaking of, No way the guy should be allowed near a football field suffering this many head injuries in one season, however my sympathy wanes for those who continue to knowingly put themselves in harms way. If he wants some…

For me personally, idc about homefield. It just means we get to watch our team play one extra game. KC has limped across the finish line against some really bad teams down the stretch, and Buffalo has proven more than once they can go into Arrowhead and beat Mahomes. Part of me almost hope KC wins this week, I don’t like the idea of basically not playing the past week, playing one game against the Pats, then getting another week off. Seems like too much time off the field, and then you come out rusty in the Divisional round and fall behind quick.

Not trying to get into a pissing contest here, MMA especially for youths, especially in schools, is far more of a niche sport where as the overwhelming majority of high schools in America field a football team. As others have mentioned, lineman are taking blows to the head every play. I’m not here to do research projects, the information is out there if you want to read it, plenty of neurologists have said it’s about receiving repeated blows to the head. It’s not about having a concussion or two throughout your life, it’s the repeated hits to the head, I.e. Lineman crashing into each other every single snap. Don’t get me wrong, concussions are definitely not good, but it doesn’t mean your doomed to a fate of CTE, however getting your head hit how many practices and games for how many years? It’s the cumulative damage. It may seem like it’s “just” 4 years if somebody only plays highschool ball, but that’s still 4 whole years, again when the brain is still developing, of taking regular abuse to an area of the body ill equipped to handle it. Double that if you play college, with an uptick in intensity and physicality. I just think, and it will take some time, but eventually you’ll have to be 18 to play tackle football due to the long term risks to brain health that are involved.

It’s important to note that no, you would not, you just need to exercise common sense rather than comparing apples to oranges. Though I do hear Highschool MMA teams are all the rage 🙄 Yes, head injuries can happen in all those other sports, clearly some more than others, not sure why you would go lumping baseball and Basketball in with Rugby, Hockey and Soccer. Even so, aside from the headers in soccer which still are far less frequent than hits to the head kids take daily during football season, none of these other sports are comparable to any football in terms of the sheer amount of blows to the head received regularly. I’m not even considering MMA in the equation, any parents letting their kid get pummeled by haymakers obviously doesn’t care about their child’s long term health. Kids however can train in martial arts without getting their clocks cleaned. It also doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to make those other sports safer for children as well without having to remove them from their lives.

I don’t think a child is capable of fully understanding the long term risks associated with CTE from repeated head trauma. We know is the brain is still developing through those highschool and college years. I realize it’s going to be an unpopular opinion, but I think eventually common sense prevails and high school tackle football becomes a thing of the past, atleast in some areas. To continue subjecting minors to repeated head trauma with the information we have about brain injury and it’s lasting effects, and knowing their brains aren’t fully developed seems irresponsible to me. It likely will become a state by state issue with some states banning it, and others with long standing traditions of highschool football putting tradition ahead of common sense and the long term safety of their children. It’s our job to set them up for the best future possible, and putting them at increased risk of developing dementia seems very counter intuitive to that long term goal. Call it over protective but there is simply no fate worse than that of suffering from dementia, and I can’t sign off willingly increasing my kids chances of one day being damned to that existence because football... I don’t judge anybody for having a different opinion, I love the game, but hate the brutality.

I agree with the sentiment that last night probably changed most people in some way, especially in terms of what winning or losing really means to them/us as fans. I care more about this team, this particular group of guys who have represented the Buffalo Bills and everything that means, in a way no other has before them, than I do about winning homefield advantage or a Super Bowl… Keep fighting Damar.

I’m just in a state of shock… Just pull through kid.

Why is it becoming a common theme that Diggs is invisible in the first half of games? Too much “bad Josh” this game, needs to get it together… Losing home field to a 3-11 team would be one way to ruin Christmas for all of WNY…

This defense

First 3 rounds next year better be O Line, O Line and O Line…

I’d franchise Lamar and trade him to the highest bidder… if Houston got what they did for Watson and all that baggage, it’s hard to fathom what type of return Lamar would bring.

Personal opinions aside, clearly nobody has stepped up to fill the void left by Beasley… to be fairly Beasley couldn’t fill that void now either, his play fell off a cliff last year, can’t imagine he’s got much of anything left in the tank now. It’s too bad Beckham likely won’t be ready in time to make a difference if signed. However, Dorsey needs to adjust. Stop trotting the same bs out there. Involve Cook and Hines more rather than McKenzie. Maybe change it up a bit, pass out of heavy dual RB sets? I don’t see much creativity out of this passing game. They were moving Diggs all over the field to start with then he just goes completely ghost out there for entire halves?

Rent Beckham for the playoffs.

Hopefully somebody hires Frazier for real this year… please? They can even have one of the third round picks

Score is 0 frickin 0 dude… If I wanted bs like this I’d watch soccer

You don’t pay a QB a quarter billion to watch him struggle in wet ***** conditions. FOH

Good thing Tre is back… guy can’t cover anymore

This is a total ***** show.

All QBs play worse in bad weather, especially wet windy weather… Buffalo has more inclement weather than any other city with an open air stadium. Point is, the state has a chance to get it right and they’re operating under pretenses that people actually enjoy paying good money to sit through ***** weather we are seeing right now, in December. The product on field sucks, and spending fours hours drenched in freezing cold is who’s idea of fun? Let alone shelling out NFL ticket prices for such an experience? Dome teams play a lot less games in rain (plus freezing cold and wind), these conditions are to nobody’s advantage, it makes it worse for everybody involved from the players to the fans, injury risks go up… it makes no sense to continue on like this when they have the opportunity to fix it.

Games like this are just a friendly reminder of how NYS is just wasting tax payer money… honestly how is this even fun to watch. A bunch of guys battling the weather? So much fun… love watching our elite QB not be able to do what he does best.

I would like to see holding limited to only being called when egregious, on both sides of the ball, football is supposed to be a physical game. It doesn’t mean you have to try and take each other’s heads off or try to hurt your opponent, but if you’re going to be ejecting players like Hamlin after clean hits then the league has to ease up on calls that aren’t protecting players, i.e. Holding/PI and let players play.

Now would be a great time for the Texans to release Hughes…

Well boom, $20million WR drops a very catchable ball, drive over…
