It’s a German name - Mick DerMit

I’ve never been there in person, no. It’s hard to tell from TV. As an away team Buffalo is represented well. Not just from loyal traveling fans, but also from WNY who are all over the US - (except for Buffalo 😂)

I don't quite see how a home crowd could be under < 50% especially when the visiting team is not really close in proximity. LOL that wasn’t a mixed crowd game, it technically was a “home game.” It was more like a neutral site game

I always think the worst, so I chose option 2. It’s probably not logical, as much as it is superstitious and being pessimistic as a lifelong Bills fan. Trying to think of it as an impartial fan, despite it being a road game, I think Buffalo comes in with a huge advantage from a health standpoint alone. Not having Chubb and Howard is going to hurt the defense. I don’t think Hill is close to 100% as he was earlier in the year and even if Mostert and Waddle play, both aren’t going to be close to 100% as well. You can also think that Miami wants to bounce back after being humiliated - they probably won’t play that bad two weeks in a row. But at the same time Buffalo’s offense didn’t play great either and there’s just as much of a chance of them bouncing back too. Either way - I am 99.9% certain that McDermott will be HC next year even if the Bills get blown out 56-19 on Sunday. Not as sold on Brady, especially given McDermott’s comments about Diggs, but I think he’s likely to return as OC.

Only 5 were DNP… Just like Miami, there’s a good chance the majority of the 15 player listed as Limited go on Sunday.

If you watched the preseason in 2018, you’d know that Peterman looked really good playing against bland defenses and second and third teamers. Also there were still some like John Gruden who spoke highly of The Peterman as a prospect. So even though he had a horrendous game in San Diego, it was was a small sample size. There’s a lot of hindsight about Peterman too. The consensus from some is that McDermott was crazy to bench Tyrod. But if you lived the 2017 season, Tyrod was struggling to pass for 200 yards…200 yards! His performance was on a steady decline culminating with a 56 yard outing against NO. Yes a starting QB passing for 56 yards in 4 quarters. In that game, he was the worst player on offense. So turning to Peterman was an attempt to for a spark. The Bills weren’t moving the ball through the air much or scoring points, so I’m guessing he thought there wasn’t much to lose. It was a knee jerk reaction and a mistake McDermott has owned up to. But the move wasn’t as far fetched as some want to portray. Look at Tyrod’s stats that game. Tyrod would remain a very limited passer but the best thing he did was not throw INT’s and hand off to Shady. It was the Peterman. He did several of these videos:

Some many Bills fans lie and pretend they were at the game. The game was blacked out which seems unheard of for a playoff game. I thinks fans began to suffer from fatigue and IIRC the Bills got destroyed by Houston the previous week and most thought would lose again. There no way that many people were at the game. Not sure why people lie

I think Jessie’s article shared everything that needs to be said regarding her heath. My guess is there’s no update regarding the brain damage she suffered with her heart failure. Typical start/stop progress for recovery after a major medical incident. But it sounds like she struggled with speaking and basic functions and that’s likely why she’s been out of the spotlight and away from the business. At least this is what I hope. Definitely a very sad situation

I think there’s a lot of truth to this. Kincaid has tremendous potential but needs to be used correctly. LaPorta is used much better in Detroit’s offense but if you swapped both players I don’t think LaPorta puts up the numbers Kincaid did in Buffalo. It seems like Kincaid was being used in the “safety valve” role that Cole Beasley used to have which would explain his low YPC. I never got the impression that Dorsey and the offense were great running plays out 12 personnel and I think that was part of the problem.

Hey @Beck Water Banged up Bills is a real life PT named Kyle Trimble. Kyle Brandt is the Angry Runs guy from NFLN.

They’d go with San Fran vs Baltimore

I don’t buy this at all. First off who in the blue hell is CJ Caggiano and how does he have better sources than anyone else in the NFL. Smell the BS

To be fair, a lot of coaches would do the same thing.

If anyone heard the Mike Vrabel interview this week - it’s clear that coaches and players don’t see things the way fans do. Miami and McD want that AFCE Divisional title. To your point, I don’t see Miami rushing back a Jaylen Waddle like they might have if Sunday were a playoff game. But I also think they’ll have Mostert give it a go, rather than resting him. Also, I don’t think Miami believes they can win 3 in a row on against winning teams on the road. They don’t believe they can win outside of Miami Gardens, which is odd considering the home advantage isn’t that good Let’s be honest too… there’s no guarantee the Bills win. Miami would win the AFCE, give some key players rest, and get 2 home games as the 2 seed.

Unless Miami plays in the Super Bowl, I think it will play out similar to Daniel Jones. He’ll get a new deal around $40-$45M - enough to put him in the Top 10 for the moment. But I also think they’ll also level room for a potential out. If Miami plays in the SB I can see him getting a Hurts like deal

This is a real good point. How about Polk from Washington? He seems to be trending upward. Might even be able to get him at the top of R2

100% but on a tangent, this is why I think you need to be careful to just assume that Baltimore and San Francisco are going to have an easy path into the Super Bowl. They aren’t always going to get out to big lead. San Francisco and Dallas are great examples of this. Both teams looked unstoppable… and they then they fell behind to BUF and BAL and struggled mightily. I think they really liked Jeremy Chinn as well. I think either of those two would do in awesome in Buffalo.

It’s never BPA…it’s always “BPA determined by need.”

The move I like is signing Kyle Duggar or Jeremy Chinn in FA. They might be able to get by with Cam Lewis as the other safety

I’m good with this… the Bills have never spent a premium asset to draft a wide receiver and I’m pretty sure that changes this season - especially given Diggs’ age and contract. In fact, I’m pretty sure they restructured Diggs’ deal with this move in mind. They are confident he’ll perform at a high level for at least 1 season - maybe longer. With Diggs (and Shakir to a lesser extent), it allows the new WR to contribute as a rookie without being “the guy” Some have theorized that in a year or two a lot of the passing game will be run through Kincaid - the way it has in Kansas CIty with Kelce. But the more good receivers the better.

They are…but it’s not like the line is just knocking people backward in the way that Philly’s does to make it easy. Josh has a great feel of where to find daylight. Rather than just slamming straight ahead into centers back (like Nick Mullens against Cincinnati a few weeks ago) he moved forward and shuffles left right off of Knox’s down blocked down. I’ve noticed this a few times over the past few games

Bills games in Western, NY have an absolutely incredible market share - this is basically the percentage of households that have the game turned on. I believe they averaged 77% for 2022, which is pretty insane. Of course, Buffalo is one of the smallest markets in the NFL. We’re not talking huge numbers but that is a massive number locally. And when the Bills plays teams with popular fan bases from larger markets the ratings are huge

I’ve never liked him and roll my eyes when people try to cite him as someone that’s credible

Tough guy? I’m just calling out an old narrative that’s had been floating around here for a few years. And by the way, what “play” did Ingram make the past two times playing Miami?

LOL uh huh and Josh Allen can never beat Melvin Ingram…right? This was debunked twice last year - both in Week 16 and in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. Ingram is probably a competent pass rusher. I don’t know - I haven’t watched him this season. But the drop off from Chubb to Ingram and Ogbah is huge in 2023. Also there is certainly a reason why he sat on the couch until week 16.
