My father and I did the exact same, initially we waited a minute or so assuming the game would come back on TV so by the time we got the radio on, the Raiders had already scored the first TD and just as we turned it on, the Jets fumbled the KO return for the 2nd TD to the Raiders. I was a bit surprised to hear that happened on this date as if you had asked me, I'd have said early to mid December. Then again mid November was late season back then. LOL Do also recall listening to the AFL championship game that the Jets won as was mentioned also on the radio as we also lived in the NYC area and home games were all blacked out back then on TV regardless of sellout or not. Imagine that happening today! Was a bad 18 months for Baltimore: April 1968 Knicks beat Baltimore Bullets beleive it was 4 straight, Jets beat the Colts in Jan 69, and in Oct 69 Mets beat the Orioles 4 games to 1 I believe it was.

Trubisky announced his wife is pregnant today. Now we know what he's been doing the past ten days! https://www.tmz.com/2021/11/16/mitchell-trubisky-hillary-buffalo-bills-pregnancy/

I'm sure Marshawn's wallet say's differently. I do think he will enjoy himself doing this too. Could see him jumping through a table or two.

As was already pointed out, maybe against run heavy teams like this coming week against Indy. Tenn would be another one, but they do have a pretty strong group of WR/TE when healthy so somewhat risky there. Do agree it may be worth playing Klein a bit more to use as a blitzer or on some plays let him drop back and instead blitz either Edmunds or Milano just to confuse things. But still not very often overall.

Billsfan1959 trumps Billsfan1972! I think they did and showed enough different things in this game, (another whole thread titled about never seeing JA under center so much) played Davis and McKenzie more and ran jet sweeps again, more running plays that did work better, many long ball completions, Brown played all game and for the most part Allen had enough time to pass, beat them by alot, etc. So all these things added up the answer is YES it did show they are still capable of playing well offensively. Teams may have figured us out, but we have answers. But when having 3 of 11 starters out, then we're not so good. The one other thing it showed is having 2 O lineman out, we're in trouble, but so are many other teams too.

Like people in Buffalo aren't going to do the same?

Think he meant in a light hearted way. His comments couple months back calling himself the face of the franchise. Couple weeks back he made some type of similar statement. Always in jest.

He's on the phone with Aaron Rodgers as we speak!

Actually it's not the Patriots that were coming, it was the British!

Agree with most of the write up. Hope they stay with 3 RB active, more of Davis and McKenzie. Klein is worth keeping around in the off season , recall a number of posters here stating he'll be cut after this year to free up $$, but great backup to have and can step in for either Edmunds or Milano. Amazing the difference when Allen has more time to pass, but do think the line will look very different next year inside. More of a question than a comment, posted this elsewhere too: I'm not one to complain much about calls by the refs as just feel overall they even out and fans always think their team is way drawing the short end of the straw. The one call I am trying to figure out was the personal foul on AJ Epinesa towards the end of the game. They showed a replay not a very good angle though, but didn't notice anything that looked bad. Could have been the wrong number. Not that officials would ever make a mistake like that!

1. I guess the 4 TD's were all from the one yard line. I think it should be all three as they all bring a different strength to the running game 2. I do think the team should not cut Klein in the off season as has been suggested here by many to save money as he's a strong replacement for either Edmunds or Milano. But when both Edmunds and Milano are healthy, they both should play and they both tend to be 3 down LB's. If anything this would show they a very sharp regime in that they didn't let Klein go this off season to save money on a player that doesn't play that much overall. 3. Sanders started off very strong, could/should Davis play more, yes and think we will see more of him. After the 1st loss to Steelers, the team moved away from 4 WR sets so limited his play. 4. See #3 above, same situation, just a different guy. Numbers game. May also be it's taken him awhile to feel comfortable in the defense to use him more. On the other side was expecting more from him when he has played in limited times so can't argue with them not playing him much till now. 5. Missed field goals can also cost team a game which I think is a big reason Bojo is no longer here. Aside from a blocked punt which did happen in the Pitt game, personally I think a better chance of a missed field goal costing them the game than a punt going ten yards less. Having said that I do think next year the Bills will draft a punter in around the 6th round who also has a history as a good holder too. These are all debatable points, but a very far cry from the title here of "Poor roster decisions still an issue with this regime" . Think I'll go with the guys who see the players every day and do this for a living full time. None of us are at practices to see what's going on.

I'm not one to complain much about calls by the refs as just feel overall they even out and fans always think their team is way drawing the short end of the straw.

Seemed like in the past he did come back. Maybe he still hasn't sobered up! Were there any reports of anyone jumping off the top deck of the stadium?

I will say this, CBS does NOT have the doubleheader game this week, but I am surprised that the 1:00 featured game is Bears Ravens as opposed to Bills Indy. I'd imagine that will mean most of country will get Bears Ravens game on their local CBS channel. One good team playing in the Ravens, but the Bears have looked pretty bad even when they win. But Chicago is a much bigger market, though that really doesn't matter as would be on TV there anyway. I live in Carolina, you'd think more people would rather see Bills Indy. Will see what we get on Wednesday, but do know Nance and Romo are doing Bears Ravens game.

Did he actually say that??

Well you can monitor it and talk about it all you want, but doubt anything will change barring injury which likely isn't going to help things. It certainly appears that something is not right with Dawkins, regardless of what comes out of 1 Bills Drive, have to think it could be effects from Covid, certainly not something they could have anticipated. Why Williams is struggling this year at tackle is also hard to figure out, but if he stays inside at guard, we're OK there and Brown is likely to only get better as the year goes on. In some ways may be good he didn't start from week 1 as often rookies hit the wall around week 12 as not use to such a long season. Not playing all last season can't help there either WRT conditioning. I'm sure will be addressed in off season, but until then likely nothing much can be done about it. O line too is the type of position that need to work with the players next to you for awhile so even some wild waiver wire pickup isn't going to help much this year, barring injury.

I will say it's somewhat unusual that team would lose by 28 points, but lead time of possession and have run more total plays and have almost as many first downs. I suppose it's due to the Bills having some many long plays so didn't take many plays or time to score a TD. I suppose averaging 9.1 yards per play helps

I'd think the Steelers tying the Lions would be worse

Kind of reminds me of the Christie days, bu think Bass has a little stronger leg.

Edmunds salary this year is around $4mil. None of the option money comes into play till next year. If they cut him they would have had a $4 mil dead cap this year. So explain to me how money for next year would have helped them sign any other players this year? Imagine if you had a brain!

Early on was playing more the role of the 3rd LB. Once he started playing either Edmunds or Milano's role when they got hurt, he was a different guy.

A number of posters here and I didn't necessarily disagree with them felt that this will be Klein's last year as makes way too much for the little he plays. But he can fill in for both Edmunds and Milano with little loss on the field. Considering they only play two LB's for the most part, may be worth having him as one extremely valuable backup for next year.

Huh??

I was wondering if due to his concussion did he maybe have some type of padding or something inside and that was what was making it pop off??

Basically they activated Breida today in place of Kumarow. Think Breida gets at least one more week He fumbled today, and recovered his own fumble fortunately. At a point when the score was still close too.
