Rubes

There are different kinds of prostate cancer. Most are slow growing, and you'll die of something else before you die of that. A small percentage are very aggressive, and very nasty. I still find it hard to believe that OJ once ran for 273 yards himself in a single game on Thanksgiving against the Lions...and the Bills somehow managed to lose the game.

Most disappointing, sure. But not the worst, not by a long shot.

Fun to read article from SportsDrop on each NFL team's best and worst QBs. Just remember, this is the guy our current coach picked to start at one point. Absolutely incredible how this guy ***** the bed when he got the big chance. There have been plenty of really bad QBs for the Bills over the years, but it's hard to argue with just how bad Peterman was when he took the field. Others you would argue were worse?

Honestly, me too. I keep thinking that, if they had converted that first down after the two-minute warning, forced KC to use their timeouts, and then scored a TD with seconds remaining, we would have been hailing that final drive as masterful and the overall strategy of beating KC as perfect. Sigh.

Good stuff, thanks. In the Buffalo News story today, Allen admits the ending of the Chiefs game is going to haunt him all offseason. 😟

I have to say, he had the quietest "3rd in the league in yards from scrimmage" year I can recall. I wouldn't have guessed it after watching the season.

Easy perhaps, but still nicely done.

Seriously...all it says is that Tua himself is expecting it. Of course he would!

Yep, the only one I got to attend. Bills started by blocking a Dallas punt, got the ball deep in Dallas territory, and scored a TD on the ensuing drive. They actually were leading in that game, 7-0.

Love the writeups, @corta765. You have a good overall perspective on the conference.

Can't wait to see this place when Beane goes with a CB at 28...

I really appreciate it when people go back and look at prior reviews and predictions like this. Thanks, OP.

Didn't look too hurt...

I really hate making light of concussions, but I must admit I really did LOL when I read this.

Exactly what I was thinking...

They're a 13-second collapse away from being 4-2 against the Chiefs the past few seasons, with 5 of those 6 games in KC. He's put together a roster that is proven to be competitive with KC, just not as much when playoff time comes, but with the odds against them given almost all of the games were on the road in a hostile environment.

The Pit can never be filled. It is insatiable.

Same with any turnover. No cheering until it's clear (1) no flags, and (2) they confirm the guy actually got possession of the ball.

NO CELEBRATIONS UNTIL 0:00

I get it, of course, but...losing to the Jets, Pats***, Broncos, etc. will do that to you.

Man, this is going to be a nail-biting week. Having Douglas, Dodson, and Johnson back would be fantastic. If they're the only three we get back, that still really helps. Would really like to see Benford and Rapp back as well, if possible—anything to keep Lewis and Elam on the sidelines as much as possible. I doubt we'll see Bernard, but man that would be great if he could go.

I haven't really paid much attention to Rapp when he's out there, but is he really so bad that he wouldn't be next in line for a starting spot?

The Bills blitzed only eight times in 44 dropbacks (per the Buffalo News).

Also keep in mind that the weather in Baltimore on Saturday should be cloudy, mid-20s, with 15 mph winds. For a dome team like the Texans, that doesn't bode well, especially given that they were 4-4 on the road this year.

Special teams has been woeful all year, except for the Harty return. That one play, while critical to the season, does not entirely make up for a season's worth of bad play. I'd also mention the punt block that very nearly happened at the beginning of the Dallas game. Still hard to believe the player didn't get a piece of it, but if he had somehow not inexplicably missed the ball, that very well may have completely changed that game. I'm less worried about Bass than others, but Smiley really needs to get his ***** together or else he should be on the street after this year.
