Exactly.

Show me a team that doesnt have a significant drop off when their Franchise QB is out, and I'll show you a team with a bad Franchise QB.

The Dolphins sent their franchise QB back out when he had brains leaking out of his ears. The Bills rest guys who brush their teeth too hard and accidentally make their gums bleed.

Ah thanks for the detail

Edit: I am wrong here. I don think so. It will likely require surgery to fix. But isnt necessary to fix until the offseason. Much like Thurman Thomas tearing his ACL 80% in college, but never wanting to take time off to repair it, so he played his ENTIRE pro career on a 20% ligament.

Why? He doesnt get injured running the ball. He actually gets more injured throwing from the pocket as we see here.

You mean like how they adapted into a Defense that rushed less than 4 and baited the other #1B QB in the NFL into throwing a game-sealing INT to our Defense? Getting home with only rushing 4 is the biggest key to winning for any defense. Blitzing only opens you up to the hot routes and big plays. The few times we have blitzed, we were taken advantage of in that exact way. Defense isnt the problem. But they moved the ball from the 20 yard line to the other 20 yard line AT WILL. Cant win games letting teams score a whopping 3 points!

Yall can go with your guts, but I'm listening to my plums. Theyve never steered me wrong yet.

Hilarious what constitutes "ass handing" around here nowadays. Bills fans got so spoiled so quickly. Any other team dares to compete with us and keep it a close game and all of a sudden we had our asses handed to us.

It was the same weekend too (Nov 7th), and the same 2nd game after the Bye week. Almost a mirror image from last year where we came out of the bye flat, managed to survive the first game by dominating a lesser team, then laid an Offensive egg the next.

Doesnt tell us anything, and neither will Josh. I'm guessing he opens with a disclaimer of "Still waiting on test results, working through some soreness, taking it day by day, blahblahblah" and then they move on to talking about movies and stuff. Not like Kyle is going to put him on the hot seat.

Happy Birthday, Dude!

Look at it this way, the team needs the fans and the 12th man now more than ever.

Nothing new. One day at a time. Test results tomorrow. Will have updates Wednesday. I'm just gonna knock myself out for 48 hours.

Any links to McD's presser?

At least he gets paid to do that. What's our excuse?

Miami is definitely stacking talent and helping turn the AFC East into the premier division in our conference. However, I'm still not too worried about beating them in head-to-head match ups where they arent harnessing the power of 1,000,0000+ nuclear bombs to slow down the Bills. The one thing I AM kinda, sorta worried about is the fact that the NFL would love to have Miami, as a market, succeed. And the Super Bowl storyline of "The Battle of Bama-teammate QBs, Hurts v Tua", might be so tempting that the Phins start getting all the calls in games and in the playoffs. Other than that, with neutral or Buffalo weather, we crush them.

Glad to see Hughes is still playing well and making the most of his time in Houston. Good for Jerry.

Sabres are a real fun watch this watch. Entertaining, fast-paced, hungry, young, and playing together as a team after they finally cut out the cancer last year. I just told my buddy the other day "I dream of seeing Josh Allen in a Sabres jersey and Super Bowl ring at the Stanley Cup parade in Buffalo". Tom (Conehead) is a great guy. Known him long enough to remember when the Conehead Guarantee was "If you get a warm beer from me, the NEXT one is free" instead of the updated "Get a warm beer from me, and you drink it for free". 🤣 Not that it matters. His beer is always cold. He actually taught me the right way to get your drinks as cold as possible. It's using water and making an ice bath, not just ice in the cooler. Knowing is half the battle!

I still think Miami is the prime landing spot for Lamar Jackson if/when he hits Free Agency, regardless of what their cap situation currently looks like. They'll throw a Watson-esque guaranteed contract at him because, well, it's Miami. And they'll figure out how to make the cap work around that.

Yes, most likely they have specific verbiage that allows them to make and use such graphics. Each contract is different. And the main broadcasters most likely have different contracts and bigger legal teams, than McAfee's organically grown podcast. Those broadcasters are all paying WAY more than $4M/yr. Wouldnt be surprised if McAfee's podcast was originally just looking to be able to show clips, so what they are allowed to do is slimmed down considerably from what the actual broadcasters and TV channels can do.

It wasn't the Dolphins, that's for sure. Not even sure it was the Bills. It was mostly that massive, 430,000mi wide, 9900° F ball of nuclear fussion burning in the sky that was the only thing that could stop the Bills so far this season.

And a 1B-2nd tier QB who they will have to pay like a 1A QB in another year or two. Who also has a significant injury history.

The playcalling was fine Sunday night. It was the player execution that screwed it up. Namely, Josh. He and the WRs got too wrapped up in Alexander's head games, and in both INTs Josh was trying to do too much and force a pass in order to let Diggs embarrass Alexander. And both backfired. Had Josh and the WRs just told Alexander "scoreboard" and stayed in their games, we would have scored 2 more TDs and totally blown them out. And none of us would be questioning the plan to stay on the gas. edit: For transparency I voted "Do whatever works"
