  1. It was a great win even with an uneven performance at times. Consider the week they had and its hard to complain about any of the missed plays and better to focus on the big plays that they made. Hines had a special day. Allen/Diggs connection is back, Cook progressing, Knox had some big plays too. Then there is Smoke. Gotta love that. On defense, the secondary is going to be challenged in the playoffs. Great to see Tre get a pick, he is still recovering and we are hoping that each week gets him another step further. I know I am in the minority on this, but the guy wearing #49 was excellent again. Congrats to the Bills, finishing the regular season as the #2 seed is not what we wanted - but it is still a good position. Hoping for continued improvement for Damar, and some great practices and full concentration for this team as they pursue their ultimate goal!!! GO BILLS!!!
  2. My only concern regarding the Bills is not that they won't hit hard, more of it has to do with the preparation needed before hand. I think their less than normal preparation can be overcome by their talent and even more so by the home field. Not having to travel saved them many hours of time that could be dedicated to more useful preparation - or even rest. The home crowd will provide an advantage too, especially in Buffalo.
  3. True, it often goes to a coach that turns around a bad or mediocre team. It does not have to, and if you look at it many of those winners did not sustain the high performance. Vrabel won it last year, Stafanski the year prior. Both are struggling with mediocre teams - one turn around season is nice but it should not be the sole criteria. McD also turned around a team that is still in the elite class of the league, climbing up without regression. He overcame huge obstacles this year. McD should win in a landslide.
  4. Philly has 3 losses just like us. We have a better point differential and we played a much harder schedule. McD had to overcome a lot with injuries, scheduling and weather issues, and this situation with Hamlin - which tested his leadership beyond a normal football season.
  5. Hmmm .... From the second view it sure looks like the Bengal player was down on all fours and momentarily stopped, once he realized he was near Allen decided to roll into him.
  6. Great news on Damar! Incredible. Does anyone know how the Bills are doing with practice, game planning and preparation for the Pats*? I can't believe they would be able to function normally as far as their weekly routine would go. Having this next game at home will help, not having to travel, being in familiar surroundings, and having the full force of Bills Mafia there of course will provide a lift.
  7. No way to tell how this game would end. Cinci started hot and the home crowd was a big advantage for them but the Bills defense has adjusted all year long and shut down teams. I thought the PI on Tre was holding. I liked the Bills drive and the mix of run/pass. I think we can score a lot of points on them.
  8. You are mistaken. Dobbins was taken one pick after Epensa, the year prior. Dobbins is a good player. So is James Cook, who is just starting to develop. 2022 stats: Att Tds Ave TD Dobbins 79 427 5.7 2 Cook 80 462 5.8 2 The bolded statement is ridiculous. Let's get rid of Dawkins, Brown, Singletary, Cook, Davis, and Shakir go back to life before Beane?
  9. 5 pages of complaints about a 2nd year player in 2 hours. Hindsight is 20-20.
  10. Lets just win our remaining games and none of this matters.
  11. The story of the win, and it was recognized on National TV after the game, is the adversity that the team overcame once again. Playing in difficult weather is one thing, disrupting their work week by having to travel early in the week was another, and then the prospect of not getting back for Christmas was another that was probably on their minds too. Unfortunately, the Bills will not be returning home to their families tonight with the Blizzard raging and the airport closed. They will handle another curve ball that is beyond their control, and they will do it together. This looks like a special team that can do special things, even on days when they are not at their best.
  12. Today will be old style football. Run and stop the run. Emphasis on stopping the run. I think Allen will try to throw to build a lead and then set up the run game for later. I expect the Bears to be tough. Go Bills, get it done and get the next goal in your path - AFC East!
  13. Why borderline. How many safety’s do you take before him? He has been elite for awhile, we play way better with him in the game.
  14. I think Cinci restaurants were known to serve spaghetti noodles with chili on it or something like that ?
  15. Yes, I saw that, and it concerned me. Typically, the shot gun snap is tougher than the hands under center snap. That was unusual, especially in cold, wet, and snow.
  16. No. I don't know why he was asking them to leave. Seems like an unusual thing for him to do.
  17. Defense not looking good? Coming into the game they held the Pats* to 10 and the Jets to 12 - with Von Miller and other key players out of the lineup/ Very illogical logic in bold. Our defense is not perfect, but it is one of the better ones in the league.
  18. I think that coming from behind, dominating the 4th quarter, keeping them off the field, and just winning the game is the best way to deflate their team and their weak-minded fan base. The weather was not a factor all day. It was even more dramatic and fun to see us dominate once the snow started to fall. The snow globe celebration scene was a perfect ending
