This is all BS. before the season the Bills were clowned on for having a really easy schedule, they travel i think the least amount of miles in the NFL and the Central time zone is as far west as they go. There’s no excuse for not having the 1 seed other than they massively underachieved and over estimated the roster.

To quote Shady McCoy regarding the Bills receivers, Allen is dealing with the fries at the bottom of the bag. They have to run mainly because they have a good Oline and can’t throw well. But with the crappy weather starting up, maybe that style of play will pay off big time.

The KC game was awesome and the 2 best players not named Allen and Cook, were Hoecht and Kincaid. Other guys need to step up for this game, and coaches need to have an A game coaching.

WR Prediction vs Bucs: Shakir Samuel Palmer Gabe Hardman Other pass catchers: Knox Cook Hawes Ty Ray Gilliam Inactive: Keon Shavers Elijah Moore

That's crazy, McDermott is going to play a guy with an ankle and a rib injury? He's usually so conservative and sits anyone on the fence.

Let's not forget, the Bills could be 2-0 before the Patriots even play again. Although they could be 0-2 or 1-1 as well. That might be all NE needs to clinch the East.

You do know that likely all of his commercials (and all the NFL players), were shot in the spring/summer. They don't do these national ads during the season. There might be some local stuff involving charities that are shot on the off day during the season.

The Brady/Belichek combo felt like an unbeatable force. New England's defense was always underrated all those years. They never got the credit they deserved for a ton of playoff wins and Super Bowls. I'm hopeful that this iteration of the Patriots does not have that feel to it. Yes they will be a threat to win the division probably for years to come, but they should not be insurmountable like the B/B era.

I agree with this. The "elite" Bills and McDermott typically have been very good in games following a clunker. Especially when the game is at home. They've been criticized by fans and media all week... national media are questioning McDermott's job status and if Allen is still Allen? If the Bills come out and flop this week at home vs Tampa we will know this is the season where everything changed. If they come out and play well and beat Tampa, we can put everything aside for now and have hopes that a playoff run is still very real.

Josh with the blank stare on the sidelines may have something to do with his lack of chemistry with the receivers especially Keon. Josh does not appear to be a confrontational guy so maybe it just eats him up inside. When Diggs was on the "outs" that final season, Josh had the same blank look at times. I feel like Diggs' intensity and being a vocal guy may have thrown Josh off his game a bit. Now we see it again this year.

I always like the Bills in the McD/Allen era after they come off a bad loss and the media and fans are pouncing on them. They play better with a chip on their shoulders. Bills 27 Bucs 20

I can’t have Allen running around in circles in the backfield, not throw, then get walloped to the ground. Needs to get the ball out and into tight NFL windows.

Sunday is looking like: High 45, winds 15-25mph, chance rain 50-70%. Cloudy. Rain showers likely before 1pm, then some rain and snow showers persist. Should be an advantage for the QB with the big hands. On the football side, it sounds like Gabe Davis has the answers. He said the Bills collectively have forgotten how hard it is to win, and need to get back to playing to their standards.

That's all cool. Mike McDaniel still sounds like he's slurring his words in his pressers. He just sounds wasted more often than not, to me.

It's just weird seeing college football (and even high school) still use traditional kickoffs, and the NFL has instituted this wacky XFL play. I'm not saying it's wrong, just strange. I've seen several KO returners get lit up this season. The collisions with the returners are still bone crunching. Maybe it leads to fewer hard collisions between blockers.

I'd like to them throw more sideways passes to Shakir...which I'm sure Tampa is not expecting at all. Also, maybe utilize Hawes and Gilliam as a focal point of the offense.

This handshake thing is so corny, but hey if that's what they need to get things going and feel good, have at it.

You think we are the Eagles or Packers on D? We aren't stopping anybody. I expect Baker to find wide open guys in the soft belly of the zones. All day. Offense needs to show up this week.

I don't think it's a thing, because mixed in there he had a record setting completion% game and great QBR (averaging 10.5 y/a) against a solid Kansas City defense. But against the Panthers? meh, he missed some throws but didn't really need him. Against Atlanta and Miami? terrible in the 1st halves when the game was still there for the taking. It's like the whole team including Allen didn't put in the preparation.

By the eye test I'm not seeing it. Maybe they racked up a bundle of them in 3 of their 9 games, I dunno. In any event, if no Kincaid that hurts even more since he's good for a few chunk plays in a game.. He's become an injury prone player.

He's certainly better today, than I thought he'd be at this point in his young career. He's got to be careful running, as you say. We just saw Dart get concussed and it's obviously a pretty bad one having to miss this weeks game. Stroud got concussed running two weeks ago, he's still not right. It's a serious thing.

Other than James Cook or Shakir breaking something huge, the Bills are one of the least explosive teams out there. That lends itself to lots of running, short passes, 10-12 play drives that have to be fairly PERFECT in order to score TDs. It also leads to close games entering the 4th Qtr where one error can cost you the game. It's a tough way to survive week to week. We are seeing the turnovers go against us at key moments and with a grind it out team like Buffalo that's a killer.

Aaron Rodgers said it a few years ago, that Josh gets into his own head. He made that off handed comment during their golf match. I never forgot it. I just think Josh loses confidence and his ability to rip the ball into NFL windows or drop it in the bucket. He not only doesn't trust the receivers,,,but also his own ability reading the defense, his footwork, and he's very concerned about making a mistake which may actually lead to more mistakes (INTs, fumbles, sacks). A QB like Matt Stafford has a poor series or two, he still comes out and chucks the ball all over the place...even in London when they only had one decent healthy WR and two tight ends that no one ever heard of. Stafford is mentally strong, maybe the best in the NFL. Josh struggles a bit with the mental game. I don't really think it's his wife like some are speculating here.

As I've said to myself over the years if only Brady and Mahomes were never born. I blame their parents! 😄 It would have saved us so many years of Bills misery. I won't blame Hailee......yet.
