  1. The way it looked to me was that the Bengals were going to crush the Bills. Plus they were playing dirty AFC North football. The guy who rolled Allen's ankle, the way Taron Johnson was ground into the turf, the guy who tried to jump over White and kicked him; these were extra physical plays that looked like they were intentionally trying to hurt the smaller, injury-ridden Bills. I don't think you can let a quality home team like the Bengals slice through you at the beginning of the game like you can the Bears or others. The Bengals will not come crashing down to earth with reality like the Bears did in the second half. Burrows was picking apart the Bills D and he made it look easy.

  2. Seems like the worse the team, the more time Josh thinks he has and the longer he takes to make decisions. Wrong. Each game is different and has different combinations of variables. The elements might take over like in this game, making passing close to impossible... Josh's elbow...The other teams' pass rush might be great even though the record is bad... Our O-line might be depleted either before or during the game... The running game might be working great...It all depends on the situation. Just go back to the LA Rams game and start slinging it fast again and mix in the runs as we now have a running game, even without Josh. He's used to doing it all. He doesn't have to anymore. The Bills have a balanced attack. 

  3. I lived in Chicago for a few years. I've never been to a place that cold and windy. Buffalo might have its snowstorms but in Chicago, your nostrils freeze together. I was working for a place just off Michigan Ave and happened to be looking out the window, when I saw a poor guy in a wheelchair trying to cross the street without any help. The wind blew him off his wheelchair and he rolled around in the street for a few minutes. People tried to help him but he refused help. Someone fetched his wheelchair, which had blown crazily farther away and he eventually got back in it, by himself, and made it across the street. Chicago winters are absolutely brutal but it keeps the riff-raff off the streets. I think you'll see crime plummet a bit in the winter over there.

  4. Rest Mitch for the playoffs. No need to play him the rest of the regular season, esp. if we beat the Bears. I've had six concussions myself, it's not fun...each one is easier to get and there's no telling how you emotionally deal with each successive one. With my sixth, I cried. Being center on an offensive line can't be good for concussions. I'd say try to play in the playoffs, then retire, hopefully with a Super Bowl ring.

  5. Beasley sold me when he played on that broken leg. The guy is tough, smart, runs good routes and has good hands. A good consistent safety blanket for Josh, who needs one. Of course, I wouldn't expect too many YAC with this guy but we know what to expect. Automatic first down. Hope he has some big plays left in the tank. Plus John Brown too!

  6. 12 hours ago, arcane said:

    I think a lot of you guys are wrong. 

     

    Joe Marino did a big breakdown showing that while the Bills offense suffers statistically in bad weather, the opponent in those same games declines fairly significantly worse from their baseline than the Bills. 

     

    And the Dolphins are even more pass-reliant than we are, with a worse run game and a noodle arm qb with small hands. 

     

    Bad weather hurts Miami more than buffalo

     

    Pile up the snow on their side of the field and blow cold air on them.

  7. The guy is a sore loser. The Bills were sore losers for twenty years. Now it's their turn. Kind of like that 0 for the 70s with the Dolphins. Punching down isn't exactly right. First, long-suffering and with back-up bile Bills fans have the right to say anything they want. Second, every time we play the Pats, there's still respect there. Third, the Bills' wobbly play in the middle of the season creates doubt about our dominance. 

  8. My heart skipped half a beat on that Gabe Davis TD. He caught it and fell to the ground. The football appeared to be on the ground (again) when he fell on it. When players catch the ball while falling or on their way to a fall, they have to roll on their back so they don't put the ball on the ground.

  9. With all the injuries the Bills have had this year, I think it would be a minor miracle if we get into the playoffs at all. With all these key injuries, I just want to get into the playoffs period. I don't care about what seed or if we have any home field advantage. Just make it in. Hopefully most if not all the injured, including Miller, will return for the playoffs.
