And Reid won a SB, went to another and has lived in the playoffs since he got to KC. Right now in the Legue, Reid is runner up to the GOAT in resume, and Philly fired that guy. As far as Bills HC's are concerned, McD is the 2nd best in our 60 year history. He has less talent than Levy had, and he's highly successful. Who is out there this off season that we could get that could do a better job???

Conspiracy driven bias is more of a pandemic across all of society than COVID will ever be. Welcome to the cyber age where everyone is an "expert" on a topic, even though they aren't an expert in research and analysis. 🙄

Exactly, we would have heard about it alot more over the last 2 decades if Brady Sr had that kind of coin.

Looking at the Diggs no call and the Evans call, the most obvious thing that sticks out to me is whether the DB had his head turned around. That's MORE obvious than any other issue, which goes a long way to explaining how things unfolded.

The Eagles fired Andy Reid.... People do stupid things every day.

Not buying it.... nope.

And you have to do that for everyone else too then. Its only misleading if you remove it from its original context....

At -4 yds a game net, its tough to make a case that the League is out to get us. We're averaging 6.8 per game, which looks like every other year's average for us: https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/penalties-per-game

It was just a guess. Anyway, we're middle of the pack in penalties: https://www.nflpenalties.com/

If he wins the SB this year, I wouldn't be surprised if he called it quits.

The stats include TEs, and you have to consider that they run a totally different passing offense. I have to wonder if all of that play action they run has an effect on whether or not DB's have that "oh sh't" factor and grab the receiver after falling for the fake. Just postulating, but I think that may play a significant role.

I think we'll know pretty much everything by next Monday morning, so not long to wait. If we play well today and win next week, that's a step in the right direction. If Indy wins, another strep in the right direction and the future looks bright. However, if NE goes to Indy and wins.... I think they win out. The implications from that are what the NFL league office and media want, Tom vs Hoodie for all the marbles. The media is already buzzing over the idea.

Bills control their own destiny if they can figure out how to control the line of scrimmage. It's that simple, and that's what great teams do this time of year.

Seems we lack that "veteran leadership" in players AND coaches. We need a few key people that have "been there".

To be somewhat original I think it should be something to do with a Buffalo stampede. A horn, a rumbling, literally a stampede noise? The train horn is so unoriginal its embarrassing. The Giants/Jets signal its 3rd down and to get loud, Den has a Bronco neighing, NE has a lighthouse with thunder lightning and a fog horn (very original) and I have no idea what Miami has, maybe some Dolphin noises from Sea World? lol My favorite is the Viking horn that Minnesota has, very original.

You don't follow trends, you don't try to set trends...you build your team to beat your division rivals. You steal their players and assistants when you can. That's what Bill Parcells did, that's what Belichick does, and it works. They build from the inside out and control the line of scrimmage, seems like everything else just works out from there.

Exactly... They ran 40+ times and score on long drives without passing, meaning we knew what was coming and still couldn't handle it. Sure, we did hold them quite a few times, knowing full well what was coming. Great, they did their job more often than not... If we ran every play, do you think we could have done what they did? nope

Sure, ignore the NE muffed punt return that gave us the ball practically at the goal line, the wind effecting the punter's drop on the punt resulting in a 20 yard kick, a ticky tack PI penalty that helped us, ignore we didn't force a turnover, ignore that JC Jackson dropped an int on a pass intended for Diggs, etc. You must be the same guys from over the summer that said 13-3 is our floor and 7-9 is their ceiling. Take off the rose colored glasses.... Good teams find a way to win and do it consistently, thats a fact.

So they said here all summer.... lol We were supposed to be headed for a 17-0 season and home field on the way to our first of many SBs. Who was going to stop us? NE can likely get a home playoff game, win that, and then.... who knows, but their undefeated on the road this year.

No teams have been dominant this year, kind of an odd season in that regard. There's still plenty of potent passing teams though, couple QB's on pace for 5k yards and/or 40+ TDs.

Their Defense, Special Teams, and running game are all built for just about anything or anyone. Their only weakness is or at least suspect weakness is the passing game. They haven't had to rely on it yet, so we don't really know. I know its a trend league, but Hoodie has been doing the same thing for 35 years.

True, I tried to be reasonable this past summer, but I was treated like a heretic here. Pretending that 13-3 was our birthright and floor for this season, and NE's ceiling was 8-9 wins just seemed worse than Homerism. Here we are, more or less where I expected to be, maybe a bit worse.

We may still win the division, they have the Colts, us and the somehow resurgent Dolphins yet to play.

I have no doubt the next meeting will not resemble this one at all, but I would venture a guess that they build off of it while our coaching staff tries to replay it. Now that they ran on us, I expect play action and Jones to be a factor next time out.

So we're overlooking that N'Keal Harry gaff on the punt return that gifted us our only TD? Their defense SHUT US DOWN. How the F do you overlook the blatantly obvious??? We scored a FG. Our QB1 and WR1 are way more talented than theirs, but they are more talented at every other position group, especially in the trenches, and it showed.
