  1. This is an incredibly resilient team.

    Three weeks ago, after the Hail Murray, the question was whether or not this team could bounce back from such a heartbreaking loss. And it would have been easy for the wheels to start to come off after that game.

    Instead, they put together a quality win against a good Chargers team. Then comes San Fransisco, and all week the conversation is, "the Bills stink against the run," and, "Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk are back," and, "the Bills can't win in prime time."

    They go down 7-0 after the Moss fumble and again, it would have been easy for the wheels to come off.

    I think that resiliency comes from McDermott, and it shows up in moments like these. Anyone who has ever been in charge of getting the best performance out of a group of adults knows how hard leadership is. McDermott has it.

    That was 25 years ago. They made big strides since then. But the last decade or so has been stale. I don’t know how much more you can really pack into a football game


    Oh yeah, was mostly joking around. I've played my share of Madden over the years. It's a fine game.

    Though, I played this year's game and Charles Davis kept referring to Tyler Kroft as Austin Sefarian-Jenkins. Weird glitch.

  3. I don't know that the general feeling nationally is that we were lucky against the Chargers. Gregg Rosenthal and co. on the Around the NFL Podcast talked positively about the Bills win—particularly the Defense doing a great job of making Herbert uncomfortable early and staying on him, and getting the run game going with over 170 yards. Nantz and Romo also got into a discussion about how good the AFC is this year, and I think it was Nantz that said something along the lines of, "don't forget the Bills. They probably don't get as much recognition as they deserve."

     

    I think with the exception of the Steelers and Chiefs, every team that is currently in the playoffs (or in the hunt) has question marks that get brought up regularly by analysts, writers, etc.

    That said, I have no faith in this team if a game comes down to a Hail Mary. 😆
