I think there’s a chance we get Dodson and Douglas back. Hopefully we Taron and maybe Rapp as well. I would plan on Bernard and Benford being out - which sucks and will hurt. The Bills won’t be able to win 20-17 again. Offense is going to have to put up points on a good, physical Chiefs defense known for holding WR’s

I noticed that the NFL on CBS twitter account shared a clip where Romo said “The Bills just might still win the AFC East.” They promoted it as though he predicted them winning it, so he’s probably just routing for his take

The combo of Romo and Nantz are my top commentary team. I guess people just got annoyed listening to Romo but I’d much rather hear him over that tool Chris Collingsworth any day. I’m also a big fan of Kevin Harlan and Trent Green. I remember Harlan was one of the lower ranking teams and he always drew Bills games during the end of the drought. He made those game fun.

I doubt this. This is the answer from Bills fans as to why any player struggles - Josh, Diggs, Bass etc. If they aren’t on the injury report, they probably don’t have a significant injury

IDK… Romo was saying the side of the field where Bass kicked in the 2nd Q was windy and the kickers were struggling to connect from 40+. The block was likely his attempt to over correct and drive the ball lower so it didn’t get caught in the wind. I don’t put that entirely on him. It probably wasn’t an attempt he should’ve tried. But the missed chip shot defies logic. He was not ever close. When this happens you tend to worry about the mindset of kickers. I’ll say this though - when we’ve needed him, he’s been money

Can someone please explain how that Freiermuth catch was not called a fumble? Even the analysts on CBS at halftime had no idea what Gene Steratore was talking about with the ball grazing his helmet. I’m completely dumbfounded with some of the bizarre rules in the NFL that appear to defy what our eyes tell us. I’m just glad the Pickens incompletion was turned to a fumble because I was getting ready for a dumb explanation from Geno to tell me why that wasn’t a catch.

I think that we’ve seen his ceiling. It’s funny how some Miami fans and even some Bills fans will advocate to “build around him.” What? He already has arguably the best WR in the NFL, the best WR2, a fast group of running backs, 2 high priced FA’s on the OL, along with 3 other premium picks at OL. Not to mention one of the best play callers in the NFL. How much more does he really need?

Not gonna lie, I’ve enjoyed watching the downfall of Miami this season only because their fans and media members have been so obnoxious about the “revolutionary” offense that “couldn’t be stopped.” Everyone points to the TEN loss as the turning point of the season, but I think it was week 3 Buffalo. Sean McDermott wrote the blueprint how to stop Miami, which every team followed. The teams that had the personnel to emulate, usually won. Now there’s major questions about both HC and QB and I think Miami’s only option to run it back with both in 2024. I think McDaniel is a really good offensive schemer but still has a lot of questions as a HC. Then there’s Tua who I feel McDaniel really propped up with his scheme. But he consistently struggles when you take away his first read and defend the middle of the field. It’s a completely 180 from earlier in the season. Not a great position to be in

I have to say, I hate the fact this game is going to be played tomorrow in such bad weather and that it will ultimately impact the game…maybe even decrease chances of victory

it’s not just putting a few people at risk. It’s looking like 75,000 or so who will all need to travel during winter storm advisory

There we’re reports in the media that Mayo rubbed some the wrong way in the org and that his future as Patriots HC could be in question. I guess that was the Belichick camp maybe? I thought Vrabel was a slam dunk for that job.

That wasn’t the snow game. That was just how Bell used to run behind the Steelers OL in 2016. It was a combo that worked well until he decided he was going hold. His career was never the same.

Who the hell is Marc? Marcus Allen?

right - that’s why I’m questioning the credibility of his information and the sanity of the OP for presenting this as solid evidence.

The trendy thing in the Buffalo media now is to predict a close game or even a loss for Buffalo.

What kind of metric is that though? That’s why I criticized the OP for positioning this information as thought it was legit. It’s some kid on the internet playing PFF

They did sign AJ Klein so I think there’s a chance they show a true 4-3 but it’s not teams haven’t tried to run when Taron is on the field. He’s just very good and he allows them to stay in Nickel without getting victimized.

You have to consider the source. It looks like a college senior with 1,500 followers on Twitter. No affiliation with any reputable outlet. Patton Analytics? PATTON? Please stop posting from randos on the internet… these “analytics” mean absolutely nothing

No he didn’t… Beane followed 4 months later. Not the next year. He was drafting Josh Allen in 2018 FYI Marty is a really bad comparison… he has a post season record of 5-13 over the span of 18 seasons. Sean McDermott is 4-5 in 6 seasons. So many McDermott will be on par with Marty is he never wins another post season game.

True… but Kincaid is a rookie and I do believe he has the potential to be one of the best TE’s in the league. Notn sure if Cook will ever get beyond “very good,” but there’s definitely a chance

Brandon Beane does not oversee Sean McDermott. He couldn’t fire him even if he wanted to. One move you left off was rolling with Spencer Brown at RT. At last season’s presser he cited some reasons why we haven’t seen his best football yet. Many of us assumed he’d be the same player he always had been. But he has stepped up. To the same effect though, Beane said something similar about Gabe Davis and was wrong.

I agree. Out of all the teams in the playoffs, Pittsburgh is probably the one you want to draw. You can’t make any excuses - certainly not weather. As far as the roof - you are correct. In fact, I believe the data in the stadium survey supported a majority who preferred outdoor football conditions. But I believe this information was just shared to highlight the real reason which is the cost associated with the roof. I don’t think the additional cost would justify creating a new roof on the stadium. Maybe a few more concerts or shows during the winter but overall Buffalo is still too small of a market to support the major events large cities bid on - certainly not the Super Bowl. So with NYS looking the spend the lowest amount of state aid and Terry wanting to spent the lowest of amount of non-state aid, the left a roof off of the proposal At lot of these forecasts are… I remember the Miami game last season was supposed to snowy and very cold. It snowed a little bit overall the temps were in the 30’s. Weather changes fast

Beane has explained multiple times in the past that drafting a big, strong armed QB that could throw in the elements is why they were drawn to Josh. At least, that was his story.

Based on how people are talking about the weather in this forum and the impact it will have on the offense: Steelers 3 Bills 0

Personally, I like dome idea and thought it was a better investment than an open-air stadium. But it was clear that NYS and Terry didn’t want to spend the money. With that being said it’s like - What do you expect?” This isn’t luck or a lousy draw. This is winter in Buffalo, NY
