I have said in another thread that if the Patriots are AFC champions this year then both McDermott and Beane should be fired on the spot immediately. The Patriots would have gone from the AFCE wooden spoon to AFC champions in one year and still have so many millions to upgrade their team in the off-season. If this scenario actually unfolds the word "devastating" would barely do it justice. Kraft saw the folly of his mistake and got rid of Mayo immediately, as soon as he realistically could have. For a winning team we are dangerously close to being a laughingstock. We are whooping it up saying please keep Mike McDaniel in Miami, Woody Johnson is a terrible owner etc but all we have to crow about recently are the accumulated AFC East titles. Having a legitimate in-division foe hasn't yet hit home to the Bills brass it seems. We were so worried about Hard Knocks and what distractions that might cause, yet Beane makes himself look like a buffoon with Jeremy and Joe and then is ruefully mumbling and bumbling when striking out at the trade deadline. Just keep quiet man, you and your head coach are doing the absolute bare minimum to retain your positions, you should be ecstatic that you have drafted and retained Josh Allen and James Cook and that your seats appear to be barely warm at all with all of your warts from all over the roster being displayed so easily. The Patriots, Colts, Broncos, Chiefs etc must be over the moon that we will just run it back in 2026 and have the same delusional expectations that something will miraculously click with McDermott in year 10. Yet still for all, I illogically think the Bills have a minuscule chance this year to win it all. If everyone truly believes they are toast they’d stop watching and bothering but I love the Buffalo Bills so still have to keep paying attention!

it is reported that both Beane and McDermott report directly to Pegula. Therefore if a new GM is bought in to replace Beane, that he'd be still having to deal with McDermott as head coach. If Pegula is the only person who can sack McDermott then the new incoming GM would still have to align with McDermott and to be honest it'd seem like McDermott would have the upper hand because he has survived his hand picked GM (Beane) and would have a very big input on Beane's replacement especially if the same structure remains (both reporting to Pegula). If I was the new GM I would have to immediately try and either trade McDermott to a needy team for picks or convice Pegula to replace him. Getting a new GM with McDermott is just more of the same pain of continually coming up short.

Please no further press conferences from Dion for the rest of the year. Post game in the locker room situations cannot be avoided but please do not keep offering him out there for the usual 10 minutes or so seemingly every week. His quote about the Gabe play at the end is a true "***** victory from the jaws of defeat" mumbo jumbo and to me is a McDermott vibes or belief system, "hey fellas we were really close tonight" - after losing to Davis Mills. The team is really testing our faith this year.

The Sunday 4.25 slot is my preferred time as a Bills fan in Europe as it has the most probability of being shown on television free to air versus streaming which is either slow or glitchy or both and most times the pay television option will show it as well. I am glad the 1pm fans are now happier, especially since it is a home game.

All depends on how desperate you are tonight and whether the basketball game is part of the birthday celebration. Is your kid a big Bills fan as well? Do they want to go to the Steelers game too?! Faking an injury or illness to get out of the game tonight lol or channeling their inner Keon and being late for both the basketball and piano practice haha. I think you will have an awesome night tonight and the following weekend no mattter what happens as long as the Bills win both those games - wishing your kid a MVP perfomance tonight and an impeccable performance the following Sunday.

In true Seam McDermott style your kid needs to be on IR with a a thumb injury so that both basketball and piano are ruled out. In reality, I would take the L tonight and somehow try and win the attending the Steelers game agrument, best of luck.

I remember seeing this on the television and thought the play he made deserved more coverage than it got, there wasn't a clear replay and onto a commercial break.

I do not regularly watch his content but what you have stated is not surprising to me. It is just recent history, the AFC in the 2020's have centered around 4 teams because they are the only ones which have reached the AFCCG, the teams you have listed plus Cincinnati. I guess the media is unsure whether this year is a blip or a potential changing of the guard situation in the AFC. Out of the usual 4 teams, as of now, only Buffalo is on track to reach the postseason. Most expect Baltimore to make it, KC is in trouble, Cincy is 99% out. So if KC are not in the playoffs then a new team will finally reach the Super Bowl from the AFC side. Since Indianapolis is at KC this week, lets see what happens. Only time will tell if any of the other contending AFC quarterbacks can join the top table with the other respected names.

With Davis under normal circumstances, I do not think he would have been elevated against Tampa because of the short turnaround to Houston. For me it would have made a lot more sense to elevate him at the Texans because it would then be 10 days until the Steelers game on the 30th. Given it was his first game back after a long layoff, that would have been the typical cautious circumspect approach from McDermott. The Miami debacle and the Keon drama makes it seem like Gabe was elevated because of these issues, remember Cover 1 initially stated that Gabe would not be active last week. I trust Gabe can actually handle the quick turnaround, I expect him to not to be overused and then he still does have the 10 days until Pittsburgh. He may even be on the 53 man roster by then. In true Buffalo style, our three 100% fit wide receivers are a 2nd rounder trending towards bust status, a JAG on his third team and a career special teamer who scraped onto the initial 53 man roster! Confidence should be up after last week, even Keon might have woken up after watching Shavers and Davis last week, there is a piece of the pie should he want it, at the very least work hard to restablish yourself. Josh went nuclear without Kincaid, Coleman and Shakir - 317 yards with Josh Palmer being the only true starter accounting for 17 yards and remaining 300 yards via the running backs and backups, Shakir was truthfully unfit last week and Josh believes that he can still play better, every future opponent should be fearful.

I understand but last week he was listed as limited and his performance was nowhere near his normal standard but I think he will bounce back this week.

Moore, Shavers and Coleman appear to be the only 100% healthy wide receivers we have. Assuming 6 WR will be active on gameday with Shakir, Palmer and Davis being banged up/listed on the injury report, 3 healthy and 3 managing injuries and playing.

I know that we have drafted these two and their weights but our starting combination of Oliver and Jones at 287lbs & 320lbs just appear undersized, at least visually, compared to some other NFL DL, you look at those players and think "wow, this guy is massive" and they appear stout and diffcult to move in the trenches.

CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens benched: Why Cowboys WRs sat out first drive on Monday Night Football vs. Raiders I did not see this mentioned before and I didn't watch the game live but ultimately it did not disrupt the Dallas victory yesterday. Excerpt below: "On the broadcast, ESPN's Lisa Salters said the reasoning wasn't injury related and instead a coach's decision by head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Therefore, it appears that Lamb and Pickens were benched for disciplinary reasons. Dallas didn't reveal the news before the game, so Lamb and Pickens' absence were a surprise to most people."

It would be so good to be 12-3 after the game at Cleveland and then to have the final two games at home to conclude the regular season. I am sure that most fans would have been happy at 12-3, in the midst of a 6 game win streak at the conclusion of week 16, with the potential of a 14 win season! Christmas and New year celebrations and anticipation would be awesome and we would be a confident and hot team peaking at the right time. Go Bills.

The AFC recently has been a guaranteed one-team show, that team getting to the AFCCG seven years in a row. Recent history this decade shows that only three other teams have made it as far as the AFCCG - Baltimore, Buffalo and Cincinnatti. Shocker it is the quarterbacks, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow and Allen. Are there going to be two upstart teams contesting the AFCCG, one newcomer and an established team, or will it be the old foes battling it out again? Of the established teams we are in the strongest position, in terms of wins, despite where we should be and what could have been. Cincinatti, virtually no chance at the playoffs, a rusty Burrow may not return this year, their D is really bad. Baltimore, Lamar currently looks hurt, Henry isn't playing at an All-Pro level but given their division (and the health of Rodgers), should make the playoffs. Kansas City, they need to keep winning and have some other results go their way. They might have to empty the tank/playbook to reach the playoffs this year. Buffalo, positive tiebreakers against KC and Baltimore with NE being a huge obstacle to the Division (bur still achievable). Just concentrating on the AFC side, in terms of offensive playmakers, I'd take Josh Allen and James Cook over anyone. The best non-Josh quarterback in the AFC playoffs this year might be Drake Maye (assuming Lamar and Mahomes miss out). Daniel Jones versus Spags next week will be interesting. The ascending teams have chosen a good year to show their hands and fair play to them if any combination of Indianapolis, NE and Denver get to the AFCCG. It'd absolutely suck it they make it and we do note. The Chargers, Jaguars and Texans are established fringe contenders to me but I don't think they will make any noise should they be in the playoffs. Our D stinks at present, the only thing I think that can make it better is for them to be causing and recovering fumbles like last year and stopping giving up so many third down and long conversions. My November 18 gut feeling is that the last two teams standing are Baltimore and Buffalo. Both Josh and Lamar need to get to a Super Bowl badly and I believe one of them will this year and I 100% want it to be Josh and the Buffalo Bills.
