Jets are frauds and have beat nobody but a bunch of teams with mostly back up QB back up playing when they won. And considering they play the Bills x2, @ NE and @MIN in 4 of their next 5 their season is pretty much over. Nice story to their start this year but felt all along they are at least a year (and probably a QB) away from being a real contender. If anything it's still the Dolphins, and possibly the Patriots, who could challenge the Bills for the division if there are any slip ups along the way.

It's hard to believe it's been 30 years since the Bills had this type of record and start. And looking at the rest of the schedule they very well may hit a franchise record for most wins in the regular season surpassing the current franchise high of 13.

It's really too bad that Beasely didn't have anything left and/or wanted to stay in Buffalo because you can definitely feel his absence at times this season in terms of a reliable option in the slot. Still would like to see Shakir get a closer look there down the stretch assuming this team doesn't make any moves for another WR.

Won't be surprised to see Miami make a big move on the defensive side given all the injuries and issues they've had there. They are still in a very prime position to make a run regardless with Tua and that offense looking back to where they were before his injury.

Unless this trend continues it's just a game anomaly. And considering the Jets QB and passing game is horrible there's very little chance this team gives up anything close to that output on the ground again this next week since they will literally be daring Wilson to beat them in the air.

It's unfortunate that Poyer can't seem to stay on the field this season. But this is also why I'm 100% confident this is his last season is Buffalo. No way Beane is handing out big money to a guy safety on the wrong side of 30 that is starting to show his age in terms of durability.

One bad half out of the bye week against a desperate team isn't time to raise the alarm bells yet. Now if Allen comes out next week and plays like complete trash against a decent Jets defense (and this team loses) then we have a real problem.

If the expectation is/was to dominate every week including the playoffs and SB then yes (fan) expectations are way to high. This team is going to lose a regular season game again at some point and even in victory you aren't going to cruise to a 42-10 type of game every week and pull your starters in the 4th quarter. There will be tough games even against lessor opponents. This is why I'm totally fine beating a desperate GB team by 10 points despite Allen and the defense probably playing their worst game of the season thus far.

In short, yes I think barring any serious injuries the rest of the way this team is probably still going to be the prohibitive favorite to win it all unless the Chiefs make a big time move for a defensive star and try to mimic what the Rams did last year which would also be out of character for their GM. Eagles I still don't see in the same class as the Bills (or Chiefs) even if they make another big move if anything because Hurts isn't anywhere close to JA17 or Mahomes.

I still don't understand why the Bills would want to bring in a guy like Beckham despite all of Von Millers chatter about it. And it's almost the same situation as White in that he may not even be of any real use this season coming given the nature of his injury. Best in house option right now is to end the little dirty experiment for good and see what we really have in Shakir.

If that Jags are interested in moving a key piece like this I just hope it's not to a team like the Chiefs because that's definitely the type of move that could shift the balance of power in the AFC again.

Agree, they will be fine especially since their next 4 week are Browns/Steelers/Panthers/Bye week. After that they do have 2 back to back games against the Titans and Chiefs in Late Nov/Early december that will major ramifications in the AFC playoff picture though and probably will need him then.

Moss is a true 'throw in' type of player because he's worthless and has no value. I almost hope Beane never drafts a RB again.

Which is why I still expect some sort of power move on defense for the Chiefs knowing their problem is similar to Buffalo's when facing them in stopping the QB.

I hate these type of threads for jinx purposes, but if I had to guess today it's going to be someone the national media consensus don't necessarily expect because I think the NFC is wide open despite all the Eagles bandwagoning. In a weird way I would almost want to play the Cowboys again to exorcise another demon and wouldn't be shocked if they come out of the NFC.

Agree but they might not be done dealing yet, still plenty of time until the trade deadline.

4D chess by Daboll and Schoen to screw the Bills! In all seriousness though, this is a very questionable move by KC giving up that much for a guy who some have already wrote off as a bust (including the aforementioned new Giants regime obviously).

Not really a shocking move by the Eagles given the overall weakness of the current NFC landscape. Still wondering what the Chiefs are going to do to counter the Bills as well and if Veach does something out of character knowing they likely need more ammo to take overtake the Bills this year.

I still don't think you can compare the current Bills until the 90's teams until they get at least one SB first. Those 90's teams also didn't have a boogeyman in the form of the Chiefs/Mahomes to contend with for the most part, it was the NFC powerhouse teams like 49ers/Cowboys/etc that stood in the way not just for the bills but every other AFC team that made the SB the greater part of the 80's and 90's. Either way the hype and excitement in Western NY is justified and this might very well be the Bills best chance to finally bring home a championship.

I'm not doubting this team anymore, they have proven they are among the class of the NFL. But totally understand the anxiety a lot of fans still have especially coming out of a bye week fat and possibly not staying hungry after such a great start to the year and winning in KC again. Only lingering question remains is what they do in the postseason and if they can finally beat the Chiefs when it actually matters should the scenario manifest itself again but until then this team has the inside track to the #1 seed as long as they stay on task which means not overlooking a struggling packers team on SNF.

In some ways I want the Jets to win to keep building a false sense of confidence heading into next week. But it's really crazy to think that if both the Bills and Jets win this week, then this game will be for sole position of 1st place in the AFC East heading into November. Either way I don't see the Bills starting 0-2 in the division and I don't care what the Jets have done they simply don't have the horses or experience to win a game like this and still think they are frauds which is why they aren't favored against a 3-4 Pats team at home this week.

I would have a bigger issue with Knox's current lack of production if he was playing like he did his first few years and dropping a lot of passes but that hasn't really been the case. But he did deliver in a pretty big moment in KC when it mattered most and have to believe he'll become more involved in this offense sooner than later. Do think it's telling though that we chose to extend him when we did instead of Edmunds/Poyer/etc.

I've thought all along that we probably won't see White until sometime in November which is basically a full year removed from his injury. Also looking at the schedule in the near term, does anybody really think we need him against a struggling Packers offense in which Rogers has no one to throw to or Zack Wilson and that Jets putrid offense who just lost their best offensive player for the year? That's what I'm sure that McDermott is also factoring in as well here.

Jackson may be another prime example of a patriots player who might be more the product of the system vs individual talent. Bigger issue going forward is that's a brutal injury for a DB to recover from.

Because of his fathers NFL legacy and what the Packers offense looked like the last few years. I still think it's a bit premature to write him off given that Wilson looks to be finished in this league.
