Funny that some of the Jets posters on their board wish they could have Rex back. They hate Bowles and "old man Gailey".

You don't want to tank in football. Takes too long to rebuild and ala Browns, even when you draft high they don't always pan out. The Bills have talent. If they see a QB they like, then trade what they have to trade to get him. We are not so far away...coulda' beaten Seattle and Oakland in their house.

The Chiefs entered yesterday with the 28th ranked defense and gave up 32 first downs and 418 yards to Atlanta. Yet they are 9-3 and cruising into the playoffs. 'Splain that to me ?!?!? Why does the Bills defense have to play top-5 caliber in order to win, with an offense that averages 25 pts per game ?!?

After it was 24-9 I had to take my son to a swim clinic and I DVR'd the rest to get back to it later. So I left the live broadcast feeling great. Then while at his activity, i clicked on Twitter and saw the meltdown reaction. I didn't even watch the remaining 20 minutes of the game when i got home. I just divested myself emotionally and went on with my evening. It actually felt OK, not having to suffer through a collapse.

Lots to overcome to get a W today. Including a bad losing streak wearing the White jersey/ Blue pants combo!

That's a really cool story on ESPN. Hope the creators stay in Buffalo and keep it a home town thing as long as possible.

30-17 Oakland. But I hold out hope that the Bills will play a spirited, desperate game. The Raiders are not going to be desperate in this one. They REALLY wanted to beat Houston in Mexico and the reigning NFC champs in Carolina. I don't think they will be extra jacked up to play Buffalo. Maybe it's the due theory. Oakland is due for a stinker and the Bills have played two pretty solid west coast games already this year. Hope I'm wrong about the outcome,,,,trying to talk myself into a Bills victory here.

Your last point is why i always contend the 17 year playoff drought comes with a big asterisk. It's all because of New England. Bill and Brady. The evil empire. If the Bills were in any other division they would've made the playoffs a couple times by now. It's no coincidence the Jets and Miami are also in the Top 10 in post-season droughts. Maybe the Bills or Fish will shake that this year.

I just don't get this fanbase? The guy is leading a team that has averaged 25.5 pts per game this year. Over the past 7 games they've averaged 27.7 points per game. This is with minimal help from the defense in terms of turnovers (field position) recently. I mean Tyrod is far from perfect but my gosh, he's pretty special with his legs and throws a good deep ball. Has plenty of arm strength to make every throw. Yes he could do better in the middle of the field...but his running and the Bills rushing attack is the identity. Who else would lead the team to more offense this year... Sam Bradford? Brock Osweiler? Bryce Petty? Gimme a break.. You can break down the game tape of every NFL QB today and they missed throws yesterday. It's not a position where there is 100% perfection. I understand people here wanting/expecting 300 yds, 2 TDs, NO Ints, but geez. The O has been fairly productive.

Replace him with who? Who is sitting around that would be better?

Khalil Mack strip sack to end it!

Want the raiders to win this game. Cam making some plays here late

Buffalo always seems to suffer from non contact practice injuries and tweaks. Just kills the team

C'mon.. They scored 25 at Miami, at Seattle and vs. New England. 32 vs. Jets. They should've squeezed out one or two wins in that group of games.. Where's the D when you need em?!?

If they go 10-6 and miss it they don't suck. The whole playoff drought is directly tied to New England success. the Bills, Fish and Jets are all in the top 10 of current playoff droughts. If we played in a normal division where all the teams had up-cycles and down-cycles the Bills would've won a division in 16 years. It's just harder to earn a Wild Card than occasionally bubble to the surface in a mediocre division,

I'm sure the Texans message boards are furious this morning. Seems like they got the short end of a few poor calls.

Relatives of mine live in Cincinnati own a pair of club level seats they were trying to sell. Two days prior they went on Facebook and asked if anyone wanted the pair for a heavily discounted price. On Saturday night they basically decided to give them away to anyone that wanted to go (apparently the cold weather was a big negative for the locals). I would've gone if not for the 8 hour drive each way! So they ended up eating the tickets because no one there wanted to see the game. I think Bengals fans are a bit jaded kinda' like Bills fans were in the late 90's. They've been to the playoffs and been disappointed so many years in a row that it's not a big deal anymore. The first sign of suckiness, they are OUT.

Also, assuming the Bills keep winning, we will need some competition for New England through week 17 when they play at Miami. We're going to want AFC Home field to be in play, otherwise the genius will rest his players vs. Miami. Better for Oakland to hit 8-2 tonight.

The Texans, Chiefs and Lions did not blow out the Jags. We are in that mix of teams so on paper I wouldn't expect an "easy" game here. Hoping the Bills D has another chip on their shoulder this week because the O is banged up and I don't see them moving the ball at will.

Kind of a toss up. Maybe root for the Raiders to continue winning, be on a 5-game winning streak then the "due theory" happens vs. Buffalo. The Raiders would be due to lose! Meanwhile after the Bills game they can go back to winning and beat up the Broncos & Chiefs. Bottom line for the Bills is they need to finish the season 6-0. I don't think they will make the playoffs at 10-6.

He's been great but takes a real beating when he runs it up the gut. Every game he gets clocked so hard i feel like I get a concussion just watching it. I'd like him to get 12-15 touches per game but the punishment he takes...ouch.

Speaking of Gillislee, how many times does the guy have to get his helmet ripped off before there's a call? The first one yesterday by the Bills 10 yard line was the most egregious. I watched the slo-mo on my DVR and the Bengals guy ripped his helmet off violently. I recall the Bills getting flagged 15 yds opening day for finger inside the helmet opening...or some nonsense like that. Also, Burfect is allowed to dive in and slam Woods while he is already down on the ground?!? Hard to believe how quickly they threw personal foul flags on Buffalo yesterday but not Cinci.

I like Cousins calling out their GM after the game.. He's a guy that has really improved. In his first full season Cousins was an interception machine. He's gotten so much better.

That Miami win means nothing. Buffalo is already playing playoff games and basically have to win out. That would include a W over Miami. Nice win today by the fish but the Bills are still in control of their own season

I've been hot this year, picking correctly 8 out of 9 games (at NE was the one i missed). Unfortunately I see Buffalo losing another tough one. Cincinnati 27 Buffalo 24
