I told my 25 year old son to save himself while he could. He's only been a fan for about ten years and he still has a chance a normal life. I'm 40 years in as a fan...and a lost cause. Prior to last night he kept telling me I was so pessimistic (anticipating bad things before they happened on the field). After last night, he came over and was like "I can't take this SH** anymore, I've been watching them do this for 5 years!". I was like...five...whole years...really? My head was spinning with Wide right, music city miracle, Houston Wildcard, 13 seconds, KC...save yourself while you can my son...there is only pain to be had as a Bills fan.

Why the heck would they open that can of worms, when they control to issue/narrative in private boardrooms. They have nothing to gain and little incentive. They are more profitable than ever and they can tweak rules at the competition committee in private in a way that benefits the NFLPA and their bottom line the most. The only thing I think they'll want to adjust are video replays that have bad optics and incite their fan base. They are not including us in that discussion, knowledge is power and corporate America likes a good ignorant (but committed) fan base.

It's almost like the NFL is an entertainment company rather than a sports league, lol. Guess which team is getting the kick to the head this weekend?

Let's just hope it's not - Three-peat of Destiny!

Eric Bieniemy be like, da**, Liam Coen...really?

I was so worried about this too! They've really chilled with the unsportsmanlike penalties they were letting fly a few years ago. It doesn't hurt that its now the playoffs, we all saw his step over against Denver, thought he could of got one on some of his catches as well...

I disagree vehemently. Beane has done a masterful job. Switching from Morse to McGovern was brilliant. Transitioning centers can be a huge destabilizer and Beane had the foresight to bring in a guard the year before anticipating this legacy move. All this to say, the Bills O line is premium. Every time I hear the Bills roster is "lacking", I realize how much of a bias exists is assessing rosters. People focus so much on skill positions, I'd say overall this is one of the best retooling years I've ever seen. Hell, we were supposed to lose the division to the Jets! Beane deserves his due!

I know this was sarcasm, but still, it somehow hurt my soul to read...

Have you seen our Defense when he isn't playing! Taron is a critical piece to this Defense, I am praying he is ok for next week.

Alec Anderson. Dude comes out on fire and is always head hunting out there.

Win: "The Bills have earned the right to slay their Chief Demon" Lose: "Same old Bills, always the bridesmaid, never the bride." Queue the Philip Rivers career comp's for Allen.

Unfortunately I think it will come down to how healthy we stay. I would argue: "Injuries don't count, every team has their unequal problems there." If anything the last few weeks (as well as last year's playoffs) has shown us that our D needs to remain healthy for us to be serious contenders (2023 was a write off because of injuries to our D). Yes, all teams deal with injuries at this time of year, but not in equal measure. If we get guys back on Defense and they stay healthy, I would say, 33%.

"Look at how they run the quarterback sneak. The Bills are behind only the Eagles in efficiency on that play. Yes, it helps to have a strong, athletic quarterback who, if he weren’t the ball carrier, is big enough to be one of the pushers. Watch instead how the interior linemen always get the push needed for the first down. That’s not easy to do, but the Bills have developed that skill." I've got a lot of love for Mitch Morse and how he stabilized josh with his mature leadership while he was here but I feel like QB sneaks on short yardage improved mightily with the move to McGovern. Morse was getting blown up and a lot of those successful QB sneaks were Josh getting it on the second effort. Glad to see this year us actually get "the push needed for the first down."

Every year I look at our record.. then to our Pro-Bowlers...then back to our record...and scratch my head. We are a great team, with few superstars with big names. The only two I think are a lock are Josh Allen and Taron Johnson... the rest are just not big enough names. James cook might be close but there are so many RB's lighting it up this year (starting with King Henry).

The video cuts out everything between the fall and when the kid is lifted back up, we have no idea what he did to that kid. All we know for sure is he came back up with a smile and no gloves...

Holy sh it, Mahones is Black!!! I thought he was spanish?

Honestly the kermit thing is not big deal. Hanging him I don't like. Never got the kermit reference anyway...always saw Mahones as more of a sideshow bob.

At least he didn't name this topic: 'Serious question, what's up with...

Great, more 4th down attempts for the Chiefs offense...just what I was hoping for.

I take everything bad I said about him 'resting'. Go Cooper (lol).

Thanks for sharing, I now understand what the league was talking about when they named Josh the top trash talker. When asked about it on McAfee's show, he said it wasn't always with words. That too short symbol was some subtle trash talk, now I get what he meant.

Yeah, two cheap shots I'll never forget: Gronkowski and Landry, Intent to injure goes against the code (while we can't know or prove intent, no one will ever convince me these two didn't have bad intentions, honorable mention to Poyer on Keon).

Just hope that doesn't result in a harder path to the AFC championship game (once there they are all tough). After a game I look like this...

...not to mention his field goal kicking is an embarrassment! In all seriousness, I always thought he was a mildly entertaining buffoon, but never associated him with Buffalo. Even though it was known fact, it just seemed he wasn't from Buffalo. A bit like your place of birth, you might be born there but that doesn't mean you identify as 'being from there'.

Best Miami can hit is actually 11. At this point it seems like the Bills will be the first to clinch a playoff spot. What will be more interesting (to me), will be tracking the Chiefs to figure out how casually the Bills approach the end of the year (as it relates to the possibility of the #1 seed in the east). Everything starts this weekend, you lose this game and it wouldn't surprise me if the Bills took a rest and relax approach at the expense of the #2 seed.
