Except for Raiders opening drive, dominant bounce back win. Just what the doctor ordered.

He only loses confidence when he turns the ball over and over. His problem is that patience is not his strong suit, and he has a lot of arm arrogance.

Hero Ball is back

Their defense is legit.

I used to compile the stats from the box scores in the Buffalo News (Courier Express?) for my dad’s FF league as a teenager back in the late 70’s/early 80’s.

"You don't show for mandatory camp, and send a cryptic message about someone lying, and then wonder what the blow-back is all about? Not a great look for a team captain, my man. Not a great look."

What kind of name is Poon, anyway?

That’s my personal excuse…

Let’s get some more protection for Josh and/ or a LB tonight.

Or play-action pass…

Smash Mouth AND Road Grader in one post ? If you throw in Thumper and Speed Burner, I have a Mel Kiper Bingo!

Depending on the price, we could do a lot worse than Leonard Fournette. Dude runs hard.

Who cares?

At the risk of being redundant with a zillion similar comments on this board, this is why Beane needs to NAIL the next couple drafts, and get some starters out of them.

An interesting, lucid take.

Jacob Bryson Oops, sorry… wrong board.

Agree. Everyone assumes the injury will be season ending. Picture the scenario where the Bills are 4-0 and kicking everyone's ass, and (God forbid) QB1 sprains his ankle, or is in the concussion protocol for a few weeks. Are people saying "just tank the season, we have no chance"? You have to have someone who can muddle through and not lose 3-4 games by themself.

You mean like the failed sneak against the Titans a couple years ago, or the failed sneak against the Vikings this year? Josh is many things, but for some reason, an awesome sneaker he isn’t yet.

Just spit-balling…Oline talent maybe?

That’s how an Oline plays. Hope the Bills line is paying attention.

It's no secret they were all in on this year. Losing Miller hurt. Losing Hyde hurt. All the other realities throughout the season that everyone has conveniently forgotten really happened. Perhaps you can dredge up some contrarian posts you had from early in the season where you predicted we weren't built to win it all. You won't because you didn't. You believed like the rest of us. It didn't work out the way you, me, Josh Allen, Sean McDermott, and Brandon Beane all believed it could. Time to move forward, Armchair GM.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Beane's not lowering expectations a little bit on purpose. You could argue the expectations on this team from Day 1 of the season were off the charts and, I believe, were a burden. I think this team would like to fly under the radar a bit next year. Plus, if people think a GM is going to lay all his cards on the table in a post-season presser, well, that's just bad poker.

It's a fact. And we lost 3 regular season games by a total of 8 points. We stunk last Sunday and need to make improvements.

I think they lost just enough of their edge and "killer instinct" coming off the Hamlin injury to make a difference. I bet more than a few of them have been just emotionally spent the past few weeks, on top of the coaching and talent inadequacies.

I’m rooting for a massive swarm of ravenous locusts to descend on the field and leave nothing but a pile of pads, helmets, and cleats.
