  1. I also thought that 2 losses through the first 8 was more than acceptable, and we may be on pace for that.

     

    However, it does sting a bit to consider, right now, this is the 4th best team in the conference and they have lost to, and thus lose tie breakers, with 2 out of the other three division leaders.

     

    That said, it is ridiculous that this team, or any team in this league, just might end up being 3.5 games up after 7 weeks.

     

    No Bills team has ever won five straight division titles.

     

    Go Bills.

    I am still working through the left overs from the MNF game but eventually the focus needs to be on Baltimore.

     

    Can't really source Blue Crab up here at any reasonable cost.

     

    Pit Beef is certainly doable => Pit beef is a beef roast that is cooked over hot charcoal and then sliced paper-thin. It’s stacked on a roll, typically with onion, horseradish, and barbecue sauce. The iconic pit beef is grilled in many ways, from using wood-flavored barbecues, spicy sauces, or dry rubs.   https://www.koonsclarksvillechevybuickgmc.com/blogs/4775/7-iconic-foods-from-baltimore

     

    I haven't used the meat slicer for a while so it will be refreshing to slice the roast "paper-thin".

     

    So my early thoughts are to make my Garlic Butter Stuffed with Crab Giant Mushrooms as an appetizer and Pit Beef Sandwiches.

     

    Any ideas?

    As you can see some of our fan-base is as absurd as the talking heads unfortunately. 

     

     

    Ned, Lamar is underrated as a passer.  I'll take heat for that from anyone, but it is true.  for some reason he gets chided a lot for his ball, but more often than not he is pretty darn good with it.

    Well, I didn’t say that. It’s just the narrative that NOW they are in the same tier, but easily Lamar is better.

    Win a Superbowl, problem solved🤷‍♂️

     

    Keeping in mind Lamar hasn’t won one, or even sniffed one.

     

  5. *deep breathe*

     

    Ok, two things… they gave Josh his props. They really did. However, especially with Evan and Michelle. It came through great playing pains after extolling, their love and adulation on everything that Lamar Jackson has “done.” This was on a segment dealing with the second tier quarterbacks, which they say only right now contains Lamar and Josh and not Joe anymore, all agreeing that Patrick is the top tier, and that’s it, period, end of story.

     

    Evan was stating, “We all agree Lamar has the better career, the better numbers, and two mvps.”   🤨 No, I haven’t, I don’t think we all agree. I think what we know for a fact is that through 107 games Josh Allen has more touchdowns than any quarterback in NFL history. I think we know for a fact that Josh Allen has been to more straight playoffs than Lamar Jackson. I think we know for a fact that Josh Allen has won more division championships than Lamar Jackson. I think we know for a fact that Josh Allen’s playoff numbers are better than Lamar Jackson’s, easily, (but he admitted that).  Michelle expressed her preference for Lamar, before so far this season. 
     

    Look, I like Lamar.  He’s great and I wouldn’t have minded him as a Bill.  However, this continuing and tiresome narrative of who Josh Allen is and what people think about him and how he compares to others is beyond annoying. Michelle even mentioned her trepidation over Allen due to “all his turnovers.” 
     

    Even amongst their laurel throwing and adulation over Allen it is always masqueraded with his “arrival, finally, this year.”

     

    Evan even talked, if memory serves, about Jackson being a Hall of Famer, achieving so much and Allen isn’t comparable?! 🤪

     

    BTW, when it came time to pick the game they all picked the Ravens for various reasons, although I’ll admit I don’t like Harbough’s 20-3 record in primetime, but that was no big surprise.

     

    In short…yeah, I need our boys to go to Maryland and kick their round a$$es square on Sunday night. 
     

    Go Bills!

    REALLY hate this idea, unless the season gets turned upside-down ASAP. If Josh Allen gets hurt, for example, then sure, yes, definitely recoup some value on a guy like Douglas. Otherwise, how is that move helping the Bills win a championship in 2024? 

     


     

    I don’t like it either.  If he helps us get a Super Bowl then that is what this is all about and nothing else matters.

    Well written Sabres.  The thing people keep forgetting is injuries happen to everyone, but when Milano is playing, he is the most impactful defensive player on the team.  That’s not me saying it, it’s Bill Polian.  A broken leg is not injury prone.  This bicep was unfortunate, but Williams has not faced the top teams like we will face later in the year including the Ravens, Chiefs, 49ers, etc.  Milano’s level of pursuit explains his 1st team all pro status.

     

    Please don’t misunderstand I think Williams has done a fantastic job this year, but the season is going to get tougher.  Many people know I’m a fan of Milano back to 2017.  If we keep him through 2026, that’s a 10 yr. Run and done his part to get us to the big show.

     

    Bernard is the guy we need back soon.  He’s a very high impact player even though Spector has done well so far.  As Sal states repeatedly, Spector and Williams are are guy finds bal, gets ball LB’s.  Milano and Bernard are even better.

     

     

    Guns, side note, I am 90% sure based on memory that in Milano's rookie campaign, when we broke the draught, 9-7 Bills were 5-1 games he started/played in. 

     

    I've been a big fan from the start, too.

  8.  

    I haven't read through the thread and my comment is going to be a little different.

     

    First, of course you sign him, no question.  

     

    However, the real question is are you going to keep Douglas through to the end of the season because he is so good or do you get some value for him before you have to let him go, because to be clear, you are not going to be able to sign both.  You just won't and especially with Rousseau on the table, as well.

     

    In short...and I am committing sacrilege...do you consider offers for Douglas at the trade deadline* (* As long as you have someone you are confident can step in) or do you ride or die for the Super Bowl knowing you won't get anything when he goes?

     

    Go Bills!

    Not saying they aren’t impressive but to be # 1 you need to beat the original #1 team.   
     

     

     

     

    Very respectfully, Johnny, no you really don't.  That is an easy excuse that is always used...last year's receipts for this year's taxes.  Oh, don't get me wrong.  I know that's the way most do it, but it is wrong.

     

    Ranking right now...not what they did last year.  Right now they are 3-0 after struggling in 3 games against teams that...right now, are 2-7.

     

    I am not waiting for this year's playoff results to determine week 3 power rankings.

    the difference is kc are back to back champs, and we are really not certain how good most of the teams in the nfl are this season yet.  KC beat cinci and bmore, who have been very dangerous teams recently.

     

    the bills have been playing on tilt, and aside from the zona game (where they mounted an impressive comeback) the games have been over early in the 3rd quarter and the starters ended the game on the bench, so it's clear the bills are a force to be reckoned with.  BUT, we've seen the bills look great in the regular season before and fall apart in the playoffs, so until that monkey is off the back, that's gonna be the narrative, and frankly it is deserved.

     

    i think it can be different this year, but we need to get some starters on D healthy, and the new guys on O have to continue to gel and improve.


     

    Nothing you said, Colin, is untrue.  You are most certainly correct.

     

    My problem is this is the now and not what was.  That’s why I am also one of the guys saying no slow roll for the Vikes up the charts.  Justifiably in some polls they are in the top 3 or 4.  
     

    Power Rankings…right now…and the Bills are the best. The highest rated QB.  The most points in the league.  A stifling defense with 3 starters out…2 of them all pros.  Other than special teams this D has given up 2 tds in 2.5 games, or the same amount as they gave up in the first half of game 1.

     

    Every game the Chiefs have played has been “exciting.” They struggle.  Is that what “power” and “rankings” are all about? 
     

    Go Bills!

    Egg. Zactly, Banana.

     

    109 points in 2.5 quarters and about 30 seconds. And that is taking their foot off the gas through two quarters last night.

    I’m slowing the roll on this narrative.   The teams the Bills beat are 19, 26, and 27 in the first link you posted.   
     

    Go 3-0 over next 3 and I will be more on board.   
     

    Go Bills!


     

    I hear you, Johnny.  However, Bills opponents outside of playing the Bills are 2-4.  For the chiefs, the almost consensus number 1…they are 2-4.

     

    So who between the two teams have been more impressive in their victories?

    Oh gut check time now for the Bills?  The MAC portion of their schedule is over?  Got it.  I also got that when we beat the Ravens next week they are suddenly not going to be that challenging of team that just barely lost to the Chiefs in week 1.  The Bills don’t need the zebras to bail for them like the chiefs do.

    "The only reason I have the Bills ranked behind Kansas City is that Buffalo's opponents this year are a combined 2-7,"  As previously alluded to there, Capt., the Chiefs opponents are a combined 2-7 in all games, too.  The only difference between the two?  The Bills don't struggle or need help from the refs to win their games.

    HUDS, exactly and the hope is does this become like the Titans...trouble to us for years and then we take them out to  the woodshed.

  16. I am not saying we should trounce this team, but we should easily beat them.

     

    Will that happen?  

     

    I'm literally grinding my teeth right now because we will get to halftime and the Bills will be up, 10-7, and we'll all be asking "why aren't we up more?!"

     

    This will be followed by that puke feeling as early in the 4th quarter the jags will take a 13-10 lead.

     

    Good thing is Josh will then get us into field goal range and we'll tie it up...

     

    ...with 1:27 left on the clock and the Jags with two timeouts left.

     

    I can't even express to you how much I hate playing this stupid team more than the others.

    They beat the Broncos by 50.  In '21 we beat the Texans, a team who beat us a couple of years previously in the playoffs, by 40 on a terrible weather day.  Sure, there was a bit of revenge.  However, I have no memory of us being overly jerky to them or their fans afterwards.

    Given how the teams have played so far this season, the Saints have been the best team.  Their net points are 62.  No one else is close.

     

    Minn is net 28, the Chargers net 35, TB net 21, and the Bills are net 27.  

     

    Houston in net 8, Sea net 9, and KC net 8.  

     

    I think Pit being 2-0 (net 15) is a mirage as is Seattle.  

     

    The Bills, (IMHO), have played the hardest schedule of the 2-0 teams.  

     

    If I were ranking based on team performance YTD

    1. NO

    2. Buffalo

    3. Minn (they beat SF)

    4. Houston

    5. KC

    6. LAC

    7. TB

    8. AZ

    9. SF

    10. Pitt

    11. Det

    12. Sea

     

     

     

    GAS, put me in the category of having no problem with taking a team that is just balling and putting them all te way to number 1.

     

    Honestly, I am with you and I will die on that hill with you.

     

    The Saints are number 1 right now.  Really, so just deal with it since technically these rankings don't matter anyways.

     

    Not the BS of, "Well the Chiefs were champions, and they've earned it, and Mahomes, and they are 2-0 as well..."  No, this is 2024 and this is two weeks in...its New Orleans.

    And GBF, what are they 2-7 since we played them last year?

     

    Additionally, I have a tough time phrasing this, but I think this is the closest to what I am thinking...Jalen Hurts is a very successful QB, but is not necessarily a winner, if that makes any sense.
