Defense picking up where they left off at TEN. Not great.

100-0 Did I do it right?

It's the Oline. I was getting frustrated with playcalling cause it seems like we always run on 1st down in the 12-8 yg line range, but the truth is we SHOULD be able to run the ball for more than 1 or 2 yards down there.

Does anyone know if there is somewhere I can watch Monday Night Manning replay?

Defense decided to suck in the 2nd half. I would have kicked the FG to go to OT, but if they win the toss they probably just march down the field and score on us.

That family is ridiculous. I like Perna's take on the wife: I dunno why it won't let it play embedded but it will play on youtube. Perna is one of my favorite youtube follows.

I don't think this is a discussion about talking trash though, which I really don't do anyway. I believe the OP was talking about being happy for the misery of others, which I think can just be endorsed as karma. Even if we win anything (game, title) I wouldn't talk trash to anyone, I'd just wish them well and then laugh when I read their message boards.

Nope. I will never take it easy on Patriot fans because I detest each and every one of them. Being a Pats fan is a character flaw. Dolphins and Jets fans are consistently obnoxious too, so I don't see the point in this argument in regards to any of the teams in our division.

Not possible. Many, if not most Massholes are not actually fans, they derive some sort of personal bravado for following winning teams. When those teams are no longer winning, they jump ship. There are more than a few newly minted Bucs fans in the NE region. Bills fans have been selling out their stadium through decades of miserable football, not bandwagoners. I don't care about bragging, I just hate fairweather fans, so no I don't think we will be anything like them if we find prolonged success because we're not like them to begin with.

The offense is doing just fine, but I agree it's not firing on all cylinders - too many 3 and outs, too many slightly misplaced balls or drops, too much pressure conceded on the edges. I trust them to clean up the little mistakes and get it going full throttle. When the offense gets going full throttle this team will be terrifying. I'm not saying we're playing poorly, I just believe strongly that we can be better than what we've been thus far.

How does anyone come in at this stage and help the team this year? No training camp, no knowledge of the playbook. I don't get mid-season trades unless you're picking up a young player for the future.

Half our defense was out for that game.

I don't find him funny at all. If the Bills had been fringe contenders for years and finally got good I could see an excuse. But crapping on the recent success of a team whose fans have been eating garbage for years is just a douche move.

Which one of you went over to the Titans board and got them all in a tizzy?

Does anyone consider Schefter an actual journalist? I was under the impression we all knew that "insiders" are just mouthpieces with a lot of relationships. I presumed this is how he gets all his information.

For this team he has been a boon, as has Poyer. There are other big signings in the past but I would say he has been instrumental in this turnaround and I'll give you that he and Poyer together are the best signings of the past couple decades

Who is Henry?

I wouldn't re-sign him. He's a valuable starter for us because he is cheap and tackles well. You don't have to pay that type of player, you pay your playmakers. Draft replacement for CB2

Refs definitely tried to take over the game- dumb. But you combine that with some absolutely horrific calls, most of which seemed to go against one team and they were atrocious.

Collinsworth awful

Watch the Chargers coach and his comments on the running game. We should be able to move the ball through the air on them. It would be easier to do so if we make them expend some physicality and effort stopping the run. Running the ball also chews up more clock so it keeps their offense off the field. I'd be happy with a combination of shorter passes and rushes to get some long drives going.

You hit the QB early, hard and often. Nothing dirty, just make him drop his eyes a little to check the oncoming rush before throwing rather than sitting back and scanning the field. D-line rotation will be important because we're likely rushing 4 and dropping everyone else. We should be able to do that this year rather than relying on blitzes for pressures. Make him pay that Patrick Price if he wants to drop back and pass. Jam Kelce at the line, just mug him within 5 yards.

Normally I would agree, in this case however Shady was there and really called him out for his BS. I also appreciated how he kept rooting for the Bills to beat the Chiefs, very cool.

He's a basketball guy who has zero knowledge of football and rips the Bills because he realized early on that angry Bills fans will give him clicks. I don't ever listen to his trash hot takes.

If you could go to Tampa or KC or Baltimore, why choose to go back to a place where you had a bad experience? I think Hughes might be the only person still in the building that he would even know. I just don't see it happening.
