So far, so good! Aside from his two turnovers Lamar was brilliant and out-showed Josh. Josh won because he is 100% willing to set his ego aside and play disciplined football. I have a feeling Lamar will reach that point next year. Three quarters was enough... this time. You overstate your case IMO. 1st drive: (1st quarter) TD: 9 runs/2 passes, ran on 8 straight plays. 2nd drive: (1st quarter) Punt: 1 run/2 passes 3rd drive: (2nd quarter) TD: 3 runs/1 passes, ran on consecutive plays 4th possession: (2nd quarter) TD: 7 runs/2 passes, twice ran on consecutive plays 5th possession: (3rd quarter): Punt: 1 run/2 passes, (3 and out) 6th possession: (3rd quarter): Punt: 1 run/5 passes 7th possession: (3rd-4th quarter): Field Goal: 5 runs/4 passes, twice ran on consecutive plays 8th possession: (4th quarter): Field Goal: 5 runs/4 passes, ran on 5 consecutive plays 9th possession: (4th quarter): End of Game: 1 run/kneel downs So not including the end of game possession the Bills had 8 possessions and scored on 5 of them. Ultimately there were 3 play calls which people are remembering and using as evidence that the Bills were too conservative: 5th possession (3rd quarter) Punt: the Bills ran on 1st down for 1 yard and threw incomplete on the next two downs before punting. 6th possession (3rd quarter) Punt: the Bills passed on all three downs on the first set of downs and ran on 1st down on the second set of downs for no gain, which stalled the drive. On the 7th possession (3rd-4th quarter) Field Goal: on 3rd and goal from the Baltimore 2, the Bills should have run a tush push but instead ran Josh from the shotgun, losing yardage. So ironically, on the Bills highly-criticized punt possession in the 3rd quarter, they actually passed more than they ran... BUT the drives stalled in part due to a 1 yard gain and no gain on first down runs. Three was enough at home against Baltimore.

I've never done crack so I can't argue with the OP but I had the same thought. If we're trying to identify the underlying drug, "trippy" is one word that comes to mind. FWIW it looks to me like Josh and the players enjoy these... their participation strongly implies that and if it's alright with Josh... (cue my Dad saying"If your friends all jumped off a bridge...") I'm not cool, hip, relevant or whatever buzz word is synonymous these days but I agree. IMO the condition you describe isn't good for the mind or the soul. I think if you can't just laugh at these it's a shame. "Get off my lawn!" (so I can yell at the clouds in peace) I know the feeling. This is a good description but there's also a nonsensicalness mixed in. Most/much of the stuff in these is totally unexplainable. I think they're just trying to get a reaction more than they're trying to send a message.

Keep in mind that this was supposed to be a rebuilding year and the Bills have a ton of picks in the upcoming draft. I''m also annoyed at the bizarre negativity around here lately. One thing I think I've noticed is that we have a lot of non-regular posters who show up during the playoffs to post.

Yes, it's been referred to as one of those "never called rules" which still exist. IMO such rules should either be enforced or removed from the Rules Book. Like the league really needs to queue up another "Tuck Rule" controversy to rear its ugly head at the worst possible moment. But as we all know, the NFL is more focused on making money than it is improving the game.

You're the guy who just realized today that the Bills go to the Super Bowl if they beat the Chiefs on Sunday. Am I right?

Many here don't abide by the directive: "do not feed the trolls." The result is the corrupted thread that we are now enduring instead of enjoying. We live in a world where people are more interested in hearing their own voice instead of the voices of others... and it's very important for too many, to have the last word.

Just as the Bills had the Greg(g), we also have the Clap(p). The Bills have no fewer than 25 coaches on staff as well as assistants and paid interns. You would definitely hope that the team has reached out to the league for final clarification on Dawkins' "Ice Pick" move. (Spencer Brown has adopted the move too) If I were the Bills I would ask the NFL for a definitive statement and certainly not just leave it to chance. On the plus side, for the second week in a row a Bills O-lineman has gotten away with pulling the ball carrier without being called for a penalty... it is legal to push the ball carrier.

Very outstanding of you to offer an unneeded mea culpa. Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't see it. Have a link? Disclaimer: From the beginning I've been a supporter of the Keon Coleman draft selection. That said, this is as good a time as any to mention how disappointed I was on that DPI call on Tre White which was actually a blatant OPI on Coleman. Wideouts who really are masters of their craft can get away with it subtly, unlike Coleman's uncalled foul. And then to make it worse, the ball went right through the middle of his catch radius without him even getting close to catching it. Coleman has the physical tools to become an elite contested ball receiver but a lot of that is concentration and mental, not physical. He has a ton of polishing to do. That theory doesn't really hold water. The Bills won yesterday but really squeaked by in too-close-for-comfort fashion. Any contribution from Cooper would have been valuable and right on schedule but the train never came in. Good job. I'm surprised it took until the 3rd page before this was mentioned.

I don't think anyone can state when the injury happened with any certainty. By the testimony of two other posters in this short topic, Benford didn't look like himself on the 2 point conversion attempt. I sure hope he suits up for KC... he's by far our best cover man and a good run defender as well.

@SoonerBillsFan, do not touch anything that looks like a cylinder. It's probably a capacitor and you can get badly shocked. More like passing out. 😀 Just outside Yosemite National Park in California. Go Bills!!!

The Bills are gonna win by multiple scores... there's not gonna be any suspense.

Eagles are raptors by the way.

Nice! I hope it was a fun hunt too. I actually thought you looked anxious but it was hard to tell with your... you know... lack of facial expressions.

Well yes... except for the donor. Indeed, Clapp has been around the block a few times.

I thought so! There's no reason to mock my stupidity!!! That Richard Noggin can be a real... I'm not gonna say it...

Bad technique. Sorry to be that guy but technically the removal of the spleen would be a splenectomy, not an amputation.

There are some sisters here too... @muppy for one. Probably he has the leverage to dictate that. Joe Burrow: "The name is Burrow, not Burrows..." (primps his fake blonde hair) The power of suggestion? Just outside Yosemite. Agree with you 100% except it's not "if we win," it's "when we win." Ravens are not raptors. Raptors are "birds of prey." The only predation Ravens do is robbing eggs from nests and sometimes killing hatchlings. Technically a Raven is a passerine, regardless of how the Vermont Institute groups their exhibits. And the point was that if Mahomes had been hit in similar fashion that there's zero doubt a flag would have been thrown. Thank you but no one is going to have fun if the Bills don't win. Thankfully they will win so it's a moot point. Do you always get the past confused with a possible future scenario? My advice is to try to enjoy the sense of anticipation and excitement and to be thankful that we are in the midst of another golden era of Bills football where the eyes of the nation are again upon us.

I bet he's the kind of guy who corrects your pronunciation if you call him "Burrows."

That's yet another really irritating thing about Burrow and one of the many reasons I despise him... why doesn't he just add the freaking s to his last name and give humanity some relief from his little games? 🙃

The thing is Atwater was a jumbo-sized safety. I nominate Dorian Williams for today's violent hit of the day.

On your behalf I'm going to make a motion that we cancel the game day thread so that you don't inadvertently find out the results before you watch the replay!

For some reason your post reminded me of the John 3:16 guy,,, Rainbow Man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollen_Stewart
