Will be an interesting game for sure. The offense is just struggling mightily in 3 of the last 4 road games. It's really a stark regression from the previous 4 seasons. The D is duct taped together at this point. They cannot put together a complete game but they've had good quarter and halves to give the O a chance.

As I posted in another thread. We knew he was a very good O coordinator but Ben Johnson is way better as a HC than i thought he'd be. The Bears leading the NFC North after 12 weeks over Det and GB, is a big accomplishment. Yeah, tell that to the Sabres. As we all know, there is so much more to turning a losing franchise around in any pro sport.

The Bills defensive system is so complex it's impossible to pull someone in from some other teams practice squad and plug him in. So they have to grab retreads like Jordan Phillips, Shaq Lawson, Poyer, Tre, etc.. The head coach here made his name coaching defense. His side of the ball should be great year after year...and it's just not. A couple injuries and they are sunk.

Whenever the NFL world thinks the light went on for Bryce, he reverts back to sucking and looking like a tiny little guy on the field. Maybe he plays better away from structure and when he does stuff on instinct more than scripted play calls.

I’ll buy the reasoning. i wouldn’t do it. But then again I’m conservative with this stuff and would take the points and FGs until i need to start taking chances.

Why couldn’t they just make it 17-10. Why the risk to make it 17-11? their offense just isn’t that good to punch in the two pointer. Now they are forced to go for 2 if they get in position just to tie it

Im more conservative i feel like a lot of the coaches have become too aggressive. Maybe it’s a flex thing, im tougher than you. But in a lot of games, if the teams kicked very makeable FGs the endings would be close in a lot of games. There’s a ton of 4th down failures all over the league when it’s still early in the game and you don’t have to go for it.

Terrible half for Purdy but equally bad for Panthers offense. They should have 17 if they had a functional offense. We’ll see about the 2nd half.

Brutal. in real time it seemed like Bryce had the pylon easily if he ran hard

Jaycee Horn has the skills!

Yep. Week to week league, but the Bills are down a couple notches from the previous 3 seasons. Losing at Houston and understanding the variables you mentioned isn’t some awful loss. Losing to inferior Atlanta and Miami are why people are acting out to this 3rd ugly road loss. Had the Texans game been in a vacuum we all could have accepted it much better as one L, not a big deal.

We have no control over wins/losses/injuries, etc.. It's just another thing to talk about. Pats are a year ahead of schedule... definitely doing a nice job with Maye and taking advantage of their schedule. They really have not faced much adversity yet, so maybe this is it. The OLine injuries.

Brady sucks, he's terrible. Go back to fundmentals. Start schemeing some plays for Elijah Moore or something. He's fast, run him on some easy plays over the middle when the space gets cleared out. He's in a problem solving industry and Brady has no answers for anything! Any wrinkle the opponent sends his way, he can't counter it.

IF they win, in their last 15 December games the Bills are 14-1. They would be in good shape. If they lose? The winds of change are coming.

In my opinion, the Bills struggle mightily containing the best player(s) or unit that everyone knows will kill us on game day. I know it's hard to be a coordinator, but the Bills seem to get gashed to pieces by the one or two players that you know a week in advance will change the game. Can the coordinators start earning their money?!? Baltimore: Slow down Lamar passing/running and limit Henry running downhill.. (Lamar 70 yds rushing, 11.0 Y/A and Henry 18 for 169, 2 TD). Thank you Allen for getting the W. Dolphins: Contain Achane (5.2 avg rush), thank you Bernard for saving it late. Saints: They can't pass, just contain the run (189 yds rush, 5.6 avg) Patriots: Just don't let Diggs go off ( Diggs 10 for 146 yds) Falcons: They have two guys, Bijan and Drake London. Contain them. (Bijan 19 for 170, 1 TD,,, Drake London 10 for 158, 1 TD) Dolphins: They have two guys, Achane and Waddle. Contain them. (Achane 22 for 174, 2 TDs,,, Waddle 5 for 84, 1 TD) Bucs: No Bucky Irving, Bucs can't run, contain them so they are one dimensional (202 yds rush, 5.2 avg). Thank you Superman Allen Texans: Hyped up defensive unit. Have a plan. (Bills sacked 8 times for 70 yds, multiple negative plays, 3 turnovers no takeaways) What's gonna be for the Steelers: TJ Watt, (2 sacks, 1 strip scoop & score?, DK Metcalf 8 for 120, 2 TDs?)

It's a playoff game. Who wants it more, who wins the trenches will have a big say.

Yep, in 1st place after 11 games, and ahead of Detroit & Green Bay. It may not stay that way but that's a heck of an accomplishment thus far. Plus the Bears were missing 6 starters on defense yesterday.

I wish we had Ben Johnson as our HC. I thought he'd be below average as a HC, not a leader of men. I was wrong. He's a very good coach and obviously knows offense and schemes.

A couple weeks ago when we were all predicting the schedules I had us going 1-1 @Houston and @Pittsburgh. I will stick with that and hope the extra rest and urgency will get us over the hump.. But there's no way we are going into Pittsburgh and dominating the trenches on both sides, so they are going to need a takeaway or two...and some splash plays on offense.

The Pittsburgh game is lowkey an early playoff matchup. I do think the winner makes the playoffs, the loser will be in trouble. That being said, all the other wild card contenders have to play each other and will rack up some losses. Who knows if it's favorable for Buffalo or not?

Yep, terrible timing this year to be hit by significant injuries and regression all around. The AFC is as wide open as ever, no team is special. The '21-'24 Bills would have rolled through to the Super Bowl. The '25 Bills? Nope.

Beane went cheaper on the WRs but intended on building up the D. The problem now is that the D kinda sucks and you have an awful WR room besides Shakir.

Bakers left shoulder is wrecked. This is the beginning of the end of the Bowles era.

How come i watch some of these games and the week after we play a team that looks very solid against Buffalo looks like crap the very next week. We’ve seen it several times this year. Our coaching coordinators are subpar.

Yup, was thinking the same thing.
