Cooks and Shaq Thompson are exactly the crafty veterans we need. They know what's up and make heads up plays all the time, like those older gym rats who never miss an open shot on the court.

There has never been anyone like Josh Allen. Is he perfect? No. But he's as close to Achilles or Zeus playing pro football as I've ever seen, maybe since Jim Brown. History is littered with great players who didn't win a championship. But I think Josh Allen might be the greatest of those, until he gets one.

Totally agree.

This being a huge road game Sunday, I figured I'd check the big road game exactly one year ago, week 15, 2024 season. Well, it was the Lions game, our offense was incredible and we won 48-42. Lions came into the game 12-1, we were 10-3 and playing in their house. We needed it to stay close to KC for the number 1 seed. Some notes rewatching it: 1) Offense was completely wide open. Many plays with four and even five wide. Coleman, Cooper, Hollins, and Samuel were quiet, most of the damage was done by Kincaid, Knox, Ty Johnson, and Jimbo Cook. Good omen for our offense this year. Coleman had one nice deep grab. Ray Davis flashed a lot too. 2) Josh was insane. Running, throwing dimes, touch passes, scrambling, you name it. Beyond MVP level. He had that crazy no-look chest TD pass to Kincaid called back on a hold. 3) Our defense gave up a ton of yards, but our pass rush looked better than this year. Ed Oliver was a monster. Just an animal out there. Von made an impact, surprisingly. Most surprising, Rousseau was much more active in pash rush, not just contain rushing like he seems to be this year. 4) Coverage was not good, Benford was great but Elam was not, safety play was poor. 5) The whole team played very fast, very dialed in... all in all, the game gave me confidence. If we open up our offense a bit more now, we can ramp up to this level. We have the key guys with us. Brandin Cooks has to play the Amari Cooper role. 6) On defense, if we can get Ed and Bosa back in the playoffs, we can be as good or better than last year. Sometimes, lost in the anxiety of watching games live, I forget how good the Bills are... especially in December when they're dialed in and not flat like we often are in the early/mid season. This game reminded me how scary we can be for other teams. We might just boat race the Patriots on Sunday. GO BILLS!

I don’t remember wishing a non-Bills player a happy birthday before, and I’m not gonna start now. Glad we beat this guy!

2020 Chiefs got us twice

Weird thing about the Coleman pick is that everybody was shocked because he was seen as limited and maybe a 3rd or 4th round talent. By taking him where he did, Beane was basically saying, we see something no one else sees in Coleman, you'll all see. And then he turns into exactly the limited player everybody said he would be, even with a ton of forced targets to his supposed strength, jump balls. Except even worse, because his motivation seems completely sapped--maybe from being put in a position where he can't succeed.

30% 85% 15%

Thank you. Watching this brought me joy.

Burst, vision, grace and surprising power.

Let’s bench those guys

You can’t listen to the player. Gotta protect them from themselves.

Bengals should be punished for this. Playing with a guy’s life.

They’ve hit the wall after making five Super Bowls in six years. Out of gas. Can they retool without prime Kelce and Chris Jones? Not sure about that. It is great to see them like this, though
