    There is likely not another single team in the NFL as despised by their original fanbase than the "Los Angeles Chaagaahs" I hope the non playoff appearance carries on. It is SWEET Karma after what they did to the people of Americas Finest city. SMH Pathetic. Vent/

    Stan Kroenke, Jerry Jones, & Roger Goodell will make damn sure the Chargers get in, just to justify the move to LA. There, I said it.

    "Turning point game"?  The D was crappy once again.  

     

    I'm not sure why isn't taboo for the CBs to actually looks back for the ball.

    The D wasn't bad against the run, but the Browns were without two starters on their line.

    Winning today is critical.  A loss today raises the real spectre of actually misssing the playoffs. 
     

     

    The way the AFC is split between good and bad teams, it is possible an 11-6 team misses the playoffs.   10-7 almost certainly misses in the AFC. 

    The Bills have four divisional games remaining: 2 against the patriots who we rarely sweep, 2 against teams who already beat us this season.  All of these teams are hungry and in the playoff hunt.  Going two and two out of these four is the most likely scenario.  This means we can't lose any of our other four games. 

    Our other four games are against the Browns, Lions, Bears and Bengals.  Browns are a terrible matchup for the Bills.  The Bengals are defending AFC champions who are dangerous on any given Sunday.  A loss tomorrow to the Browns will be devastating.  As they say D-Day was a must win, this is just a football game.  But if the Bills lose today, the path to a championship becomes very narrow. If the Bills win today, it will still be a slog to get home. 
     

    I don't think so. The Browns defense is horribly coached & their interior D line might be the worst in the NFL. 

     

    The Browns' offense is decent, but they're not going to win if the Bills go up a couple scores. I follow both teams closely & seriously doubt this will be a close game. Bills should pull away in the 2nd half.

    Are you a Cleveland fan? What Florio said in the article was absolutely true. The Bills are at a disadvantage giving up a home-field game for a neutral site one that could have just as many, or more, Cleveland fans than Bills. Buffalo has had all kinds of distractions from travel and routine disruptions, as well as one missed practice and maybe a walk-through.

     

    Plus, Florio needed to make those comments to set the record straight, given how much the nation has been attacking Buffalo for this, even though it was not Buffalo's decision.

    I'm a fan of both teams.

     

    Florio doesn't need to write opinion pieces. That's the trouble with today's "reporting "

    Sean McDermott was in his office yesterday afternoon conducting TV interviews. I thought it was weird, darn near stupid.

     

    I can also fortell Mike (the Idiot) Florio already wrote two articles about the Bills, he just has to insert the score. "The Bills Overcame All this Adversity" or "All this Adversity Effected the Bills." He won't mention Cleveland at all, unless he takes a shot at Watson. I still don't know why I visit that website lol.

    They'd still be garbage. Their defense is a train wreck. Hard to understand though, as there is plenty of talent there. Reminds of Washington's perennially underachieving defensive line

    Browns interior defensive line is very very weak. Atlanta & the Chargers shredded them up the middle. Garrett & Clowney on the edge are problems. 

     

    I doubt this game is close. Maybe at half the score is close, but the Bills pull away. Something like 34-17.

    Thanks for the reply, yet we are not referring to the same thing....my version of the "chosen team" was the media darling, superbowl favorites, unicorn-MVP worthy QB and the hype therein that we all saw starting in July ending about 3 weeks ago.

     

    Your version of the "chosen team" references a bad call today, to which we have been on the receiving end numerous times over the years; which is fine but not in alignment with the content of my post.

     

    Again, I appreciate the reply nonetheless.

    Ok.

     

    You're right regarding your take on all the hype regarding the Bills off-season, pre season, early season. I'm sure the players & coaches constantly talk(ed) about "tuning it out," yet it's human nature to listen or take a peek at media hype. 

     

    I'm not totally panicking about the Bills. They play a very poorly coached Browns team next week at home, yet a team with talent. Lose that one, oh boy it's going to get ugly around here.

    What makes losses like this and last weeks perplexing is the fact that we are now in a place of questioning whether this team is a group of pretenders or contenders....and according to the media all off-season and early season, we were the "chosen team".  Now we are a 3rd place team in a division within an entire conference.  The reality exists that we miss the playoffs altogether. Wrapping one's head around this new reality takes a bit of getting used to.

     

    Sure we will be rooting for the Bills next week, that is not the point.  The point is this team is considerably overrated at the moment and getting in over their heads by the week.  McD has done a great job in getting the Bills in a different place but his skills are now a major rate limiting factor in the team being able to take the next step.

     

     

     

     

    Well, we were certainly the "chosen team" today as the Bills caught (no pun intended) a major break on the game-tying drive. Davis never had possession of that ball, and oddly it wasn't even reviewed (favoritism). We still blew it, very very concerning.

    Call me nuts but I have no problem with this - new blood. How many times will Nathaniel Hackett be recycled within the league? How many chances did Doug Marrone get? Saturday cant be any worse. 

    Right. The NFL seems to constantly recycle the same old names. Some of that is justified, some of it prevents new blood from entering the coaching field. 

     

    I wonder if this lawsuit by Flores is going to change the landscape, if it ever gets settled. If it does, watch Tomlin step down & Flores get the Steelers job (for starters).

    Probably because any one loss to any team at this point, including the NFC's 6-2 Vikings next week, puts us in 3rd place in our division? It's not that hard man. We have completely squandered any margin for error we had at this point

    The usual cliches apply, like "on any given Sunday."

     

    It's the NFL, and upsets happen all the time. Wouldn't shock me if Cleveland or Minnesota came to town & beat the Bills (although I doubt it happens).

    I have a troubled suspicion that Josh will never receive the protection from the NFL like Brady did. We had about 8-10 different ways to win that stupid heat stroke game yesterday. 

    Steelers, Patriots, Broncos, Cowboys & Packers are the NFL darlings, & it won't change anytime soon. Newbies to the scene appear to be the Chargers & Rams.

     

    Until we all accept this, we'll be miserable 😐

    The story I remember during the realignment exercise was that Ralph specifically DIDN'T want the Bills to end up in the "Rust Bowl" division for two reasons:

     

    1) They'd have been an afterthought in an afterthought division, buried forever behind the Steelers;

    2) They'd have been pulled away from major media markets in New York, Boston and Miami.  They would have become essentially irrelevant.

     

     

    Never knew that. Then again, who really knew how much the NFL would grow back in the merger days.

    I like the NFCN rivalries, personally 

    That's fine. The old Redskins-Cowboys games were really good, even if geographically it doesn't make sense lol.

     

    I used to want the Bills in the AFC Central/North.  But the NYJets rivalry would get split up. Buffalo, Cle, Putt, & Cincy...that would be really cool. Backyard rivalries

    Not even really interested in watching.  Will probably skip this one.  

    That's your prerogative- this is the AFC's oldest series. Yeah the Steelers have pretty much dominated the thing since 1999 but it's way better than the NFC East overhyped rivalries you see on national TV all the time.
