It should on SOME local station, whichever one bids for it. Don't think on these Monday night games there's a contractual link between ESPN to ABC, maybe they have right of first refusal?? Oh wait you're in Knoxsville, you're out of luck, not primary market. That always use to piss me off back in the black out days. I lived in Rochester. I was close enough to have games blacked out, but not get any of the primary market benefits.

Still need them for next year.

We've kept at least 2, one game thought it was 3 DL players inactive every game, so can still easily have 8 good players to rotate barring a handful of injuries. I'd be OK with either Phillips, Addison, Zimmer or Obada being traded. Most likely thing would be for picks

It's been awhile, but did Bruce miss much time for injury? Do recall him being out with the flu.

3 years?? Really? Wow guess I missed something! LOL Next thing I you'll tell me they made the season longer than 16 games or something crazy like that!

Realistically the bigger story is the collapse of the Chiefs. The Bills were expected to be good and are, maybe even a little better defensively than imagined. But while it wasn't shocking that the Bills won the game, the shocking part and story so far for the season is how bad the Chiefs are and particularly on defense. Bills were expected to win/lead division and are. Right now Chiefs are the 11th best team in conference, no one predicted that would be the case. To an impartial fan it is the bigger league wide story.

Now I'm really worried!

If Gettleman was fired, I wonder if he'd end up here in Buffalo in some capacity? He and Beane go back.

Kind of funny a week ago, read how McKenzie's snaps were going down, some speculation that once Stevenson is healthy they'd activate him as the return guy and maybe let McKenzie go. Against KC McKenzie also appeared to have played alot of snaps too. As was stated, depending on situation, coverage, and opponent; things will change from week to week, drive to drive, and play to play

Agree overall with comments WRT #8 Replacements Klein did play very well. Considering Tenn is run first team which plays well into Klein's strength,s I'd play him again this week so Milano gets an extra two weeks of rest with the bye coming up. One drop by Knox and people here will be calling for Knox to be fired! Not really an observation on this game specific, but seems the NFL is not doing their normal annual Pink Breast cancer October event? They do seem to be more just recognizing all cancers? Not that there's anything wrong with that, just a change made??

I think making the conference championship game was part of the reason both Daboll and Frazier didn't get jobs last year too. But agree SB makes the odds go down even further. Seems team will wait through the round of 8, but after that want their guy. Also think Davis will want a more sexy hire than either of our two.

Agree, no huge TE receiving threat this week and Klein is good against run. Gives an extra week rest with the bye.

My main point was just to state, no way to predict where Rousseau would have gone if he hadn't opted out. Every year plays jump up in the draft and other drop.

What amazes me the most is the emails were over a 7 year period, and nothing ever came out about this till now!

Just heard, wow But happy overall

Likely Singletary will stick around till his contract is up, then draft his replacement, a year later same thing could happen with Moss. Think Davis is better than a #3 or 4, Not a slot guy, but could be a good #2. Not so sure Beasley will be back next year. This year between the compressed salary cap and not enough time between when people could get vaxxed and start of camp not enough time to make alternative plans. But by next year with more money and time, think the 8% of un-vaxxed players still in the league will be very small, only a true superstar may still have a job. Could resign Sander and move him to slot. Recall reading a couple months back that Sanders best position actually is slot. Think interior line will be more than just signing for depth. Could see them draft a center or guard fairly high to maybe start in Morse's place. If Star keeps playing at the level he currently is, likely will bring him back next year, but could see them using a 2nd or 3rd on his replacement, and let him sit next next season. Do a similar thing at safety and use mid round pick to become eventual starter, though do have Hamlin and Johnson. Could see a high maybe 1st round used at CB to replace Wallace as just can't se them re-signing him. Need cheap replacements someplace and can afford one rookie there. Also think CB and RB are two easiest positions for rookies to come in and play right away. Could see a 5th or 6th rounder used on a top punter, same way the brought Bass in. Not to make light of it, but honestly think punter may be the weakest starting position on the team.

I recall about 25 years ago, on a Saturday afternoon in October watched an SU Florida St game, heard the chant, Saturday and Sunday night baseball playoff game in Atlanta, same chant, Monday the Bills played the Chiefs in KC chant again. My wife finally says to me, "Does every team do this?"

Who know,s he could have had a bad year and dropped. Wasn't Allen more highly thought of after his 1st year at Wyoming than after his 2nd. Every year you hear about guys who dropped.

Last year Beasley was competing for catches with Diggs and a rookie WR, a rookie RB, and a TE that dropped one for every two he caught. This year he's up against a legit #2 WR who's functioned at a very high level, plus a RB who now has much more experience, plus a TE that seems to have figured things out. So less balls for Beasley. Is he really sulking, who knows?? I will admit late in the game about two plays prior to his one catch, I did comment to someone, is Beasley hurt or something?

Thought I heard Ford brought the orange slices and they were FIRE! Maybe if someone got injured. IMO lineman take some time to jell together, so not sure worth it and Wallace is looking pretty good. Do think Ford and/or Phillips could get traded prior to deadline, but more likely for draft picks, maybe a 6th or so.

A friend of mine is a big Dolphins fan and every time they play the Bills all I hear the next day is how all the call went against Miami and the Bills got all the breaks. Every week, every game, fans of every team feel this to be true, in fact I'm sure there are Chiefs fans today complaining how the Bills got all the breaks

I think instead you'll see a CB drafted in one of first two rounds and have Jackson as backup and T Johnson for nickel. To me CB, DT, and interior line are their biggest draft needs. Could draft DT and CB in 1st two, then guard/center. They way Star is playing it probably makes sense to bring him back for another season, but could draft his replacement in 2nd or 3rd and let him sit a year as sub. Not sure you could sign someone for better value when you ad in the dead cap money you'd be paying Star.

I think it's hard to hire front office types in January as they have too much intel on teams drafting thoughts. It's for that reason that front office contracts typically expire in May. Would Carolina given permission to sign Beane in January, maybe not. Think they also signed someone from Miami, again, maybe wouldn't have been able to in Jan. The other side of it too, if Whaley is let go in January,you're now kind of going into the draft blind and even worse, he could have signed with another team and given away all the Bills thoughts on upcoming draft.

McD has been doing this pretty much the last two seasons, the difference is he didn't have nearly as good a fleet of horses as he does this year to do it with. The one thing that helps too is they don't have an Arron Donald type on the team as likely if you had to pay top $$ for any specific D lineman, you wouldn't be able to afford 8 other very good ones. Having Epenesa, Rousseau, Basham, plus Oliver on rookie contracts helps, plus not paying big money to either Zimmer or Obada. Does make me wonder though, if they had a Bruce Smith type on the team, would they sub him out more or not. Seems it's the trend in many sports for stars to play less.

Anyone want to start a pool on how long T Lance lasts without getting hurt. The amount he's running and hits he's taking, can't see this going well too long.
