Well, to frame the question a little bit differently, we can be hopeful that the remaining teams on KC's schedule can be more effective than history has shown that they have been. Or else, just break Mahomes' leg... Wait, I said the quiet part out loud... sorry

Sal is trash

Troy Aikman has been phoning it in for at least 10 years. It's amazing that he still has a job

Keep trying to steal Playboys from the local bodega while the cashier isn't watching

This was basically inevitable once we started seeing good things out of Dodson, Bernard, and even Spector on ST

It's been encouraging watching him grow as a coach and embrace going against his more conservative, defense-oriented nature Even though all of the decisions didn't necessarily work yesterday, they were still the right decisions. Players see that - and they appreciate having an aggressive coach behind them

I can't freaking wait for us to destroy him in two weeks

Just park in one of the downtown garages and wait for them to build a dome...

I like watching our team win by being real good at throwing the ball If anyone wants to pine for the days of having Antowain Smith, Shawn Bryson, Travis Henry, Willis Mcgahee, Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson, CJ Spiller, and Lesean McCoy try to get us to 9-7 winning ballgames 20-17, there's a whole archive of games out on YouTube for you to check out

And every single frigging reason that the OP mentioned in this thread is why we should be enjoying what we have right now to the absolute fullest Stop nitpicking and complaining about every little thing that could or does go wrong in a game Get out to the stadium to see the team play (if you can) This season could be special and it's finally ours

It's a long season, with peaks and valleys for every team. The Eagles do have a fortunate schedule for the most part - that happens every year to some teams somewhere They haven't turned the ball over that much, and usually that regresses to the mean as well. But they are well coached, well run, and Hurts is improving beyond most people's expectations Super Bowl team - sure, why not? Super Bowl champion, yeah I'm not feeling it with them

I think that it's more that Bernard is closer to the body type and skill set vs what Dodson brings Very few players are going to have the physical tools that Edmunds possesses, but I think the staff views Bernard as having potential there

Not that our offense has been subpar by any means in 2022, but I think it's clear that it can be even better with McKenzie in that gadget role Especially with opening up run lanes and forcing defenses to respect speed to the outside - which haven't really had to do too much this year

Dodson did a great job yesterday against an outclassed opponent. It's clear how far he's developed and come over the past few years. But I don't think he'll ever have the speed or instincts to be a starting LB in our current system. Bernard is clearly likely to be the Edmunds replacement if that day comes next year

I got to our local Bills Backers bar at 11:20 to ensure our group got the primo table. Some clowns were there ahead of us for the Dolphins game and barely cheered or moved a muscle. That's no way to watch a Bills game!!

Anyone who wants to nitpick about McDermott - can point to this anecdote and ruminate that no one in the "Lost Generation" of Bills staffs between 2001-2016 was consistently preparing their teams, week in and week out, for this type of situational football. Yes, we finally have top end talent and depth, but it's the preparation element that is helping to potentially separate us from "very good" to "great"

Thurman & Andre were at the Bills Backers tailgate in Baltimore this past weekend. Thurman was super friendly and warm with fans getting pictures, etc. Andre maybe a little less so, but still cool and smiling I couldn't believe how skinny Andre is these days - I mean he was thin during his playing years, but all the muscle made him look less so But we pointed out how big and strong his hands still look - I mean those are still HOF WR hands. I'll bet Lofton's look the same too

I'm not sure that Roscoe looked at the playbook a lot either...

I kind of laughed when there was a running weekly thing a few years ago of fans ending their post-game call with "Bulldog smokes the pole" Yes, it's a bit juvenile, but anything to throw those two off their guard is a good listen

How is it that we have this many tinfoil hats coming out when we're 3-1 and Super Bowl favorites?

It's more that I don't want Saleh to actually be given the runway to potentially become a good coach. The more that the teams in our division get into, and stay into that 3 year cycle of hiring and firing, the better off the Bills are. If Saleh stays, that probably means that he's over-performing expectations.

Just from a pure standings perspective, we are all Jets fans this week But I really don't want to see the Jets spend too much time over .500 Robert Saleh is a charlatan and a blowhard, and the sooner he's fully exposed, the better

LOL I was going to post that exact same quote, and I only got to the first reply before you beat me to it!

That's surprising that we got rid of both of those guys, especially Emili, that quickly There has to be guys on the PS that are less worth keeping in other positions

This is going to be like facing Davis Mills last year You can say all you want about Mike Tomlin being the best coach ever with his back against the wall, no losing seasons, blah blah blah But this team isn't losing to a rookie QB making his first ever start, at home
