I never expected to learn that Milano is a black guy in a thread about Allen attending a San Diego Padres game.

I usually just ignore your posts, but I have to ask why did you put his name in quotes? What is this supposed to mean?
It smells political to me. OP has his panties in a wad that we refer to our white star player by his first name but our black star players we still refer to as Diggs, Milano, etc. But OP is dumb because we do also say Von so it's not really a racial thing.

No, there are still fans on here that think the Bills can't beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. Those same fans probably wont believe we will win the super bowl if we get there no matter who the opponent is.
and what percentage of the forum are those fans? 1%? 2%?
we have to stop getting frustrated that not literally every Bills fan, opposing fan, or pundit will bow down at the sight of our mighty Bills.

Even before this week, the Bills were considered the best team by both fans and pundits (just not literally every fan and pundit). We really can't play the disrespect card this season, not to mention the disrespect card is gay.

Yes, and that was obviously in reference to a debate about whether the Bills are an all-time great team (after playing three recent games that were tossups), not whether the Bills are an excellent team this year especially when healthy. Why do you lie?

The majority of metrics say we are an all-time great team, or at least have the chance to be one if they continue at this pace.
I guess we'll see. Perhaps the stats say that, but my eye test says the Bills recently played three games that could've gone either way against Mia, Bal, and KC, and thankfully we came away 2-1. I'm not knocking those wins, and in fact, I love that our team is getting close-game experience and coming through with Ws finally; that experience will help during a playoff run. But I just don't see some GOAT / ATG-contending team yet.
Maybe the bye and getting Tre White back and overall getting reasonably healthy will launch us into a new stratosphere. I would love to root for a GOAT / ATG team, but I'll have to see it to believe it.

At the end of the season, record-wise, the AFCE may not be as far behind the AFCW as once thought. Making our win at KC on Sunday even bigger for the chase for the #1 seed.

Maybe we are, maybe we're not. I'm not here to decide for you, but let's take a look at some facts, as for Geno Allen crushes his stats so why would he be considered the best QB? Anyways let's take a look at some stats and facts...
Offense:
Yards per game - #1
Points per game - #2
Defense:
Yards allowed per game: #2
Points allowed per game: T-#1
Takeaways - T-#1
You write as if this is a coin-flip situation. Maybe tomorrow is nuclear Armageddon, maybe it's not :-)
The fact is the odds are extremely against any team becoming one of the GOATs. While it's not literally impossible, I find it unlikely that a team with our offensive line and our banged up defense ends up being a GOAT-type team. If Mahomes takes advantage of our banged-up secondary like Pickett sometimes did, we're a 4-2 team as of Sunday.
Again, I'm very confident in this team and believe we have the best team if the defense can get reasonably healthy and gels.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that I’m trying to remember when the Super Bowl bills were in the top three on both offense and defense
As fans we like to point out the negatives of our team that’s going to happen I get that but overall the bills are extremely good Josh Allen looks like not just an MVP caliber quarterback but if he continues his trajectory a Hall of Famer
Josh can be a Hall of Famer without this being one of the best teams of all time. I would think our OL eliminates us from that conversation, and let's see if the D can get healthy enough to realize their potential. With decent health, the Bills look to be the best team in football this year, and that's more than enough for me. Just win the Super Bowl please so we can have this debate in February.

People should really look into this more. Just going by the metrics, I would make KC a +8 on this game. The Bills are destroying long standing measurables on all-time great teams. It's an undeniable fact. Whether that holds up over the course of a season remains to be seen but as far as "right now" goes...Bills should handedly beat the Chiefs.
I adjusted the spread on my Caeser's bet to Bills -8. I hope it works out, but I am simply looking at the metrics for both teams and at face value it's a no brainer.
It's just small-sample size, guys. I love our team but we're not some all-time great team. Likewise, Geno Smith isn't the best QB in the NFL.
Spread back to 2.5 in most places now, as expected. And I could see it going lower as some sharps continue to relish getting KC as a home dog.

I am surprised that it did hit 3 (albeit at -120 instead of -110) but still anticipate sharps getting it back down to 2.5 or less later in the week.

If the Chiefs have a tough time with the Raiders, win or lose, bettors are going to hammer the Bills…probably drive this line to Bills -3.5.
This game has zero chance of crossing 3 (!) or even touching 3 (except I suppose for a very brief moment at some rogue book, which is possible before it gets pushed back to 2.5).
Frankly you'll see some sharp money on KC as a home underdog later in the week with the Bills closing as -1 or pk. These sharps will lose money because the Bills will win (I think) but most likely there will be more sharps on KC than Buffalo.

Two things:
(1) Don't worry about any Steelers "tactic" from Week 1 of last year. Pittsburgh is notorious for running a real training camp with real hitting and so they are always more prepared to play football in Week 1 than their opponent, unless they too run a real training camp.
(2) Re: the point spread, anyone afraid of 14 is actually being square. You might think the "sharp" play is to take all those underdog points but then you're forgetting that the Bills love to blowout bad teams and sometimes good teams we match up well against. Our weakness has been, until last week, clutch execution in tight games. But don't stress the 14 lol.
yup

Another thing too is the very name of the league. Would it still be the NATIONAL football league? Or do we change it to International Football League (IFL) or Major League Football (MLF).
i know that to many it may be semantics, but words matter and with teams overseas its no longer a national league. Does the brand change? Is that a good thing? I dont want that.
in short, I simply feel the NFL is trying to squeeze a square peg in a round hole.
Yeh i get that but the game continues.
Globalist Football League. Satan's Plan Football League.
Jokes aside, don't the Euros have much stricter vaxx mandates? That alone would scuttle this. The NFL has smartly not investigated how rampant fake vaxx cards are, but that wouldn't fly with the Euros.

what if mcdermott finishes 1-6 in close games this season? a little too early to crow and point fingers.

Dude save it what more do you want Allen to do? They where down 7 starters on the road
Then don't be so confident pre-game. Either Bills fans sucked predicting this game, or the team underperformed. One has to be true, maybe both.

Hunh?
There are five questions asked about ranking teams analytics. And one of them was asking about the worst, so you didn't want to be mentioned.
Of the four questions asking about positives, the Bills got ranked third in one and fourth in another and not mentioned in the other two questions (only three teams were mentioned in one and only six in the other.
Everyone ranked Cleveland and Baltimore first and second. Both good teams, though it's hard to figure the Browns QB situation at this point. After that nobody was an obvious third, but the Bills probably come in 3rd or 4th overall.
you're bad at analytics if you believe the data in that article is reliable for ranking Buffalo as having a top-4 analytics department.

I think Beane said Bass and Ferguson would be helping Arazia in terms of holding. I remember referencing it at the time, why Haack wouldn’t help too. Especially as, in the same comment, Beane called him an elite holder.Haack: Okay, young Araiza. This is Holding Lesson #1. I'm going to teach you a hand-strengthening exercise. First, splay all your fingers out on that table there.
Araiza: That's weird but okay. Hey, is that a mallet you're holding in your hand?
Haack: ..... Nope. This is also not me raising it over my head.

What I don't get is... why a team (or the teams fans) that almost never punts wants a punt god?
Seems like the NY Jets could really use him. 😄
that's overstated as we still punt over a quarter of the time. it's like how we only average 2 FG attempts a game but it's still nice to have a great placekicker.
araiza's the ultimate field flipper. now, any time the bills are in bad field position (like after a 3-and-out), the opposing team is in bad field position. opposing DCs will have to gameplan around Araiza and make sure Buffalo always gets a couple of first downs before playing D for real.

If there were only about 20 players with 1st-round grades and that was close to consensus around the league, it makes sense that picks in the 20 range (like 23) can extract more in a trade than you would otherwise think possible.
Obviously Elam was one of the last players that the Bills had a first round grade on (maybe THE last) and they didn't want to plug CB2 with a player a tier below.

I like the signing but I also wish we had just traded for him. Maybe the Bills and Rams would swap roles right now, with the Rams trying to go all-in again and signing MIller to a massive contract while the Bills celebrate a Lombardi.
-
missing on this isn't as bad as some of you are making it out to be simply because loading up the AFC West is a good thing for the Bills, but to those pooh-poohing Mack's recent production, there's no way Beane produces more sacks from that 2nd-rounder and 6th-rounder.

Of course they're going to defeat Ukraine, but it's going to be the most pyrrhic victory in memory.
Russia becomes economically and politically isolated and loathed by every nation on earth except its satellites.
As well, the Russian military performance has been abysmal. Embarrassing actually.
Alliances in opposition to them are tuned up and strengthened.
Passive states like Germany, are changing to a far more hostile view of them, and countries like Finland and Sweden have become NATO friendly.
Even historically neutral Switzerland is participation in sanctions, and it's hard to believe the "occupation" phase is going to go well for them.
haha, you should tell reddit and twitter that.
as for sanctions and relationships between countries, we'll have to see long-term what the impact is. i hope you realize there is potentially major blowback on the european and u.s. economies, too, and the possible death of the petrodollar. I think there's a chance the U.S. and Europe will hurt worse, and just as importantly, I think there's a chance the U.S. and Europe populaces are less tough in the face of economic wars than the Russian people, who are used to being poor.
you know, we're a week, a week and half into a war, and it's funny how so many internet experts can predict the future.

extremely optimistic, i'd say. If you're referring to the sanctions, we'll have to see what the blowback on the european and U.S. economies will be, as well as the petrodollar.

This is a terrible, nonsensical trade. Shanahan's system is known for churning out good RBs and rushing production, so why trade all those assets for an injured RB?
This would be like the president of Thailand importing hookers or something like that.
