tbf Allen isn't playing like a franchise QB either. There, i said it. Hey I need 6 yards for a first, let me throw this ball as hard as i can to my 5'3" receiver, 4 feet above his head

Expecting them to win enough games to get a WC spot is Pollyanna-ish. Which of these games do you believe the Bills can win? New Orleans New England (lol) Tampa (lllooollllll) Carolina New England Atlanta New York Out of those I see Atlanta and New York as probable wins. None of the others. winning 8 games will not get us into the playoffs.

KC was their superbowl. People don't want to hear this but the Bills can't beat good teams and they have a run of good teams ahead of them. Let's stop talking superbowl and hope we can squeak into a WC slot. It'll be great to go on the road to Pitt or Indy and get run all over Its not to soon to talk about next year. Let's gut the big contracts on the DL that are getting us nowhere and see if we can get some actual competent OL. Maybe some of the big OL contracts need to be examined too, they're underperforming terribly.

Yeah, i guess you can take the Pollyanna route here. We keep seeing this same take. Do you believe the Bills need to win again this year, or are they good as is? They keep losing, what, 3 of 4 now? they're in second in the division, and look to be a terrible matchup against the Pats. Oh well, there was always last year!

Well, that sucked. Some quick thoughts, i'm sure none of this is insightful or original This is a team built to beat up on bad teams and lose to good teams. The announcers keep repeating superlatives about the Bills O & D rankings, even as the Colts made absolute fools of them. Beating up on Miami and Houston got us some sick stats, for sure. I wish we could play them every week We can't run, we can't stop the run. I sure am glad we spend all our draft picks on a DL that just gave up what, 300 yards rushing? Beane is truly a genius, such so that he cannot be judged by our mere mortal metrics like "fielding a competitive team" Josh Allen is a unique talent but can't seem to show up when we need him. Again, 400 yards against bad teams is cool and good. Maybe I should just watch those games and pretend the games against winning teams don't matter The D really is a disgrace. Let's not hear any more about their rankings, they can't stop the run, and the Colts moved the ball at will all day long. They scored on their first 4 drives? 5? does it matter? When we need a big play to turn momentum, always consider #19. He'll make a big play. Just don't be a normie and expect it to be a big play for the Bills, let him express himself as his muse dictates. Coach McD must have delivered a hell of a speech at halftime. Have the Bills ever played better in a second half than a first during his tenure? Can we get a relief coach in there at halftime so Coach McD can go do whatever it is he'd rather be doing? Oh, and sorry, this should have been higher on the list. Like #1. The O-Line is terrible and whomever is in charge of that should quit in disgrace. All in all an absolutely halfhearted performance from everyone on the Bills. Thanks, I guess, for making it so I'll spend time with extended family on Thanksgiving rather than trying to sneak away to watch the game Thursday

I've never been this happy to be so wrong before. To be fair I did caveat it with if daboll gets his head of out his azz, which he clearly did I'm still not super confident in this team. They're bipolar. With NE surging, they can't drop any more dumb games like Jax. Those are the games they needed to give them some buffer against playing actual good teams, so here we are.

Love to see GD back in the game. The O seems to run better with him in there, and his penchant for making circus catches is just icing on the cake.

Hmm. I think i'd rather NE won that game and let us keep our fate in our own hands re: the Pats

Get ready for Hot Takes instead of traditional game calling

Wow, get rekt, me. Instead of the zero receptions i thought he had, he had infinity percent more catches at 1 Do you think it was a good decision to give him a roster spot instead of Hollister?

"Take away the penalties" is doing some pretty heavy lifting for you. The Bills OL had zero answer for the Stunt. I don't care what the 'key metrics' say. Games aren't won on a PFF scorecard. No, you don't understand, our O & D Rankings and my mommy said we are the best team in teh league!

Seems a little strident. 13.5 as an over is a joke, made to point out the ridiculousness of a 13.5 point spread favoring a team that scored 6 points against one of the worst Ds in the league. By all means though, bet all you like on it, nobody is stopping you

Yeah, and JA was running for his life a lot of the game. As the game went on, TN got stronger, the Bills got weaker. JA can play superman but by himself can't win a 60 minute game. TN had plenty of injuries in that game as well, so we can't use that as an excuse. It's one thing to jump out to an early lead, but playoff teams aren't going to be so easy.

Gilliam is the mystery there. Even the few times he's been in at FB, he's a decoy, and has he even caught a pass as a TE? Are we holding him in double top secret reserve for a trick play in the SB? Shoulda kept Hollister instead

With King Henry coming back for the playoffs. My worry for the Bills this year started with that game. TN absolutely manhandled the Bills. JA made it a good game, and nearly pulled it off, but the longer that game went, the more TN was going to win by. I don't feel like the Bills have recovered from that yet, mentally. If they got to play the Dolphins every week, sure, they would win most of those games, but as it stands they have to play other teams as well, including some pretty good ones. I watch a lot of TB games, that D is going to embarrass us unless we can come up with something more novel than throwing the ball 3 yards behind the LoS

Yeah i'm not enthusiastic about it either. 13.5 is too big a spread for any game, frankly. My fear for the Bills is that the Jets see what Jax did, drop 7 and watch our OL crap all over themselves again

I'm willing to take the Jets at +13.5. Obviously betting the under on 13.5 would be stupid, but I would have said the same thing a week ago

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying Or, perhaps, i'm expressing concern that there are some worrying things on this team, and the coaching staff doesn't seem able or interested in fixing them. The Jets will be an acid test. I hope the Bills win by 99 points, but since that might require being able to score from within the 5 yard line, i won't hold my breath.

Yeah that's great but did you watch the game Sunday? The performance against the Dolphins was nothing to be proud of either. You seem like a guy who should bet the Bills this week, -13.5, have the courage of your convictions

Yup. Until the Bills can string together a competent performance on O, there's no reason to think they'll cover a 13.5 point spread. Based on the last couple weeks, 13.5 might qualify as an over, not a spread. The Jets have some talent on the DL, and we're going to see them get after Allen. We'll see if Dabol can come up with something to counter the pressure that doesn't involve #17 running 27 times.

Just the Facts, No_Matter_What

Reading is fundamental. "Bottom feeder" in my post refers to the opponents. First, Jacksonville, then the Jets. If you think losing to the Jags isn't a huge problem, then I don't know what to tell you. A loss to the Jets is lights out for this season. Even if we somehow fall backwards into the playoffs, we're not going to beat a winning team on the road. Regarding point #2, if you're resting your hopes on a 5th round OL pick that basically nobody heard of 6 weeks ago, that his return will fix the Bills problems, then yeah, you're a homer.

The Bills have beat 1 team with a winning record. i think i'd tap the brakes on the super bowl talk until they beat a quality opponent. In fact, let's start with beating a bottom feeder and work out from there Do you believe that the Buffalo Bills, as constituted today, are the best team in the NFL?

you’re right about one thing. Now’s the time for that bet.

Yeah to be clear, he played like hot garbage yesterday To be more clear, he was probably the best player on our O Josh Allen failing is pretty far down my list of concerns. The O-line playing with JV level competence would be a massive improvement. I'd be giving those huge contracts they handed out a long look
