    I said the exact same thing. And Allen had MORE rushing yards than Murray at that point. It was so ridiculous. Murray had a pretty mediocre half and they were still gushing over him. It really had me confused and I wondered if they had even watched it.

     

    I'll be honest, it seemed like Burleson was kind of confused because he started talking about how good the Buffalo defense was playing and containing Murray, but the others just nodded and moved on quickly.

    They just absolutely love those dual threat QBs

     

    Except Josh Allen

    Per McD, Morse was healthy and ready to go but his not playing was a "football decision," not a health issue. When asked, McD did not commit to Morse as the starter going forward. Said they felt the current group had "momentum" and that's why Morse didn't play.

     

    No way to read this except they are disappointed in Morse. Pretty shocking development here.

    I read it like they are concerned with his health. I agree with the decision to sit Morse last game and give him an extra two weeks to recover. There's absolutely zero chance that McD thinks Morse isn't a critical player on the O-Line, and how much momentum could the "current group" have when it's a different set of guys almost every down, it seems? I have no idea why he chose to answer this way but Morse makes a lot of money and he's one of the most critical components of that line, plus he was obviously playing very well.

    Last I saw he's leading the NFL in passing yards again.  

     

    Like the announcer said a 10 point jump in completion % is astounding.  of course a good WR corp helps.  

     

    I've liked Stafford.  Incompetent coaches and lack of talent at times hasn't helped him.  

     

    Now that he's up in age a young 32, he'll be ignored like Matt Ryan as a good QB  

     

    Even with good weapons, aside from Cole Beasley, there have been a ton of drops, so that makes Josh's season more impressive. His accuracy has been off and on but I think what has really helped him turn the corner is his vast improvement in reading defenses and faking out defenders either with his eyes or bluffing throws. Really good at selling on play action, too.

    It's been fun and it's impressive how much work Allen has put in........ but we shouldn't be astonished by a QB who was picked 7th overall playing at a high level in year 3.

    Tell that to the Browns, Jets, Eagles, Giants, Dolphins (Rosen) and there are tons of examples. Picking QBs is a crapshoot. You aren't even close to guaranteed a franchise QB with the 6th pick.

    Tough game out West against a dynamic QB. I really thought they would help out the Bills today by beating Miami, so that is frustrating.

    Kyler Murray might be dynamic, but he isn't moreso than Jackson or Allen, and he isn't in Allen's league throwing the ball. He's also short. I thought I'd just throw that in there.

     

    I don't really see this game differently than, say, the Raiders game. I think the defense and the O-Line have been making huge strides since the Jets. It honestly blows my mind that the Bills aren't favored by 7, never mind being dogs. We should feel disrespected.

    I'd take that right now because it's about to change

    Right now, line for me (in Ontario) is +2.0. I bet moneyline. Real head scratcher, anything can happen, of course, but the Bills are a lot better than the Cards.

    Josh seems to play a lot better in warm weather, too.

    Newsflash everyone.  These are the same teams playing each other.  Crappy defense and lots of offensive weapons.  Going to be a great win Sunday

    Wilson is better than Josh (hurts to admit) and Lockett + Metcalf are better than Diggs + Brown or Beasley. If the Bills win this game, it's up to the pass rush and corners + Hyde to prevent the deep ball. The open field tackling has to be much better, too.

    To be fair, Jared Goff didn't lose it alone.  He had help from his ST unit and his OL

    True, but the bottom line is that the Rams had a bad game. I think the Dolphins are pretty good, and I always strongly disagreed with how they were being dismissed early in the year, but they aren't division challengers quite yet.

    Dolphins have a much easier last half of the season compared to us. they could easily get 9 wins from that 

    They have 5 games I where I would expect them to be dogs (Chiefs, Bills, Pats, Raiders, Cardinals) and a few games that will be very tough (Broncos, Chargers, Bengals). I see only one game where I'd feel comfortable betting them to win, against the Jets.

    Assuming the Bills get smoked in this game similar to the Titans, what will the pulse of Bills mafia truly be?

     

    Simply we lost to another SB contender type of team, the Bills are frauds and not a playoff team, or somewhere in between?

     

    If the bills do lose big and are never really in the game at some point I would like to see the Pegula's publicly challenge this regime (specifically McClappy) and call them out for their lack of success against the league's better teams and all this process junk.

    Seems like Bills Mafia is expecting to lose by three touchdowns, so anything less should be considered a victory.

    I've seen them play quite a bit this year.  It's a fun team, and Wilson is playing out of his mind.  He has a lot of targets to throw to.

     

    But so does Allen, and the Hawks also have nearly as many flaws as we do.  Their defense can be just as inconsistent as ours, and they can tend to play to the level of their opponent.

     

    I think Allen & the O can keep up with Wilson.  It should be a great game. I don't see us as being outclassed in any way.

     

    100% agree. Seahawks should be favoured, but -2.5 to 3.5 seems about right. If it actually goes to -7.5 or something, seems like easy cash.

     

    Also, having Feliciano back is huge. Hopefully Morse can play too, but is it a coincidence that the Bills got their run game going same day he made his return? Josh didn't throw a lot, but he didn't need to, and pocket protection will be a lot better. Bills need to pressure Wilson. Zimmer has made a case to be starting, I think. Even past the amazing forced fumble on Cam, he's played very well. This game will be on Wallace, White and Hyde to reduce those deep shots and hopefully the LBs can contain the underneath pass plays.

    This will be a big "I'm still here" game for Josh Allen.

     

    After being in the MVP conversation a month into the season, there have been a lot of "fool's gold" type of comments among the punditry and other fanbases (and even this fanbase), and that he is the same guy he was last year.

     

    I don't see that.  I actually thought he played pretty well against TN, and yesterday, considering the conditions. Even the KC game wasn't that bad.

     

    But I think he gets back on track in a big way this week.  I see a high scoring game & Bills W.

     

    I'm baffled by Bills twitter. These guys think the Hawks should be favoured by like 10 points. They beat the Cowboys and Vikings by a combined 8 points. What
