I sadly agree with @FireChan. This yet another ‘cave in game’ has produced alleged accusations of McDermott throwing players under the bus, Hyde losing it on a venomous slimebag reporter, Allen’s now tired ‘it’s on me’ postgame rhetoric and guaranteed fewer fannys in the seats in December & January for a team incapable of creating a Home Field advantage. The charmingly rare occurrence of GM/HC/OC/DC staying together for 4 seasons died an ugly death last night, foul weather notwithstanding. There WILL be changes in this group in the all too soon offseason. There HAS to be.

I did -and it WASN’T a factor. Both teams drove the length of the field facing the wind late in the 3rd and throughout the 4th quarter. Our last drive ended with a long, clock eating drive that had us with 1st & Goal when Knox wasn’t strong enough to catch yet another throw that hit both his hands then jumped Offside and Allen and Beasley played the dangerous ‘If/Then’ pass pattern under a heavy blitz. 🤦‍♂️

What DIDN’T happen was a ST turnover which surely would’ve contributed to a loss. As others here love to argue, McKittrick has “Only One fumble”, the shrimp has double-dribbled many kick returns he, his teammates and the sidelines have covered up for. Yes, he’s a quick little runner. But there’s a reason so few of his ilk Don’t play in the NFL. I haven’t yet heard Sean’s comment so I won’t comment here. (OP, it’s on you to provide links to back up audacious accusations in the thread start @Niagara Dude 😡) but #19 should be cut, imo.

I completely agree. The question that needs to be asked, imo, is Why? Why have we refused to acquire better OLinemen and a big Back who can catch and block? It’s not like our OL is exceptional in passpro. Take away Allen’s Houdini-esque escapability, and all of them sans Brown need upgrading. This well-known, glaring team weakness is on McBeane and has been since they handed the future to Allen. How is it that EVERYONE aside from these two know this, yet they’ve purposely done nothing about it? IF there are any brawlers on the team who could raise the current level of OL play, they’re currently playing on the Dline. For Gods Sake -and continued employment @ OBD, Git-er-Done Brandon!

He’s actually a terrible writer who’s lost every job he’s had because of it and his ‘brand’ of BS. Much like yourself, actually. Go ahead, place your little negative icon here. It’s what fringe fans do.

We don’t have a workhorse RB TE has never been trustworthy MLB will never ‘get it’ OLine is poor at best in passpro, unacceptably poor in run blocking We play in Godforsaken WNY Never have won a Super Bowl, never will. Otherwise, it’s all good. smfh

Dawson Disaster Knox. Singlehandedly killed 4 Drives in a low scoring game and we tumble further down the standings. Discuss.

I’m questioning why Bass didn’t kick it heavy left, knowing the win was blowing left to right. dammit!

Take a seat, Knox. You’ve proven yourself unworthy.

Thanks, Knox.. for NOTHING!

EIGHT nothing

Can’t catch. Can’t hold onto the ball. Can’t tackle. Other than that, we’re good!

Dammit Knox!🤬

Clever return, Michah. Sets us up nice

Play Ball!

If it makes no sense to Ethan in Portland, it makes sense in football. 🤷‍♂️

It’s Here, It’s Now, it’s Monday Night Football! LETS GO BUFFALO!

Let’s Go Bills!

As a followed rule, players who aren’t playing don’t travel with the team..

As usual, so unnecessary..🤦‍♂️

One aspect notably missing so far this year is a patented Josh Allen Come From Behind victory. With 2 exceptions (Tennessee, Jax), we either blow out our opponents OR are too far behind to make happen. I hope he still carries this magic -just in case..

We’re gonna win tonight! I feel it and my new secret method tells me so. 😉 Weather be damned! WILL IT! Make it so.

Noted on the RedZone channel yesterday; 25 of the 32 NFL teams have 5 wins or more through the first 12 weeks for the 1st time in pro football history. We’re one of those teams and like most teams this year, we’ve contributed to other teams reaching this mark. EQUALITY -not Parity- is entrenched in the League. The Joy vs. Misery is palpable in WNY and finds us looking up in the Division to the hated Patriots*, just ahead of tonight’s mega-matchup at HOME on MNF! Yet again, Mother Nature will stamp her presence on the festivities with game time temps near freezing and gale winds with monster gusts prevalent throughout the day and game. (Dome anyone?) It’s the 1st game throughout the remainder of the season we’ll be without the services of the irrepressible, irreplaceable Tre’davious White, lost to a serious injury on Thanksgiving. Weather, injuries & mental funks aside, it’s December and there are no more excuses. Win or die. To Hell with obstacles, FIND A WAY! Simply put, the Pats* are a quality team. The crap they were forced to deal with last season (Covid opt outs, Brady departing late in the offseason & a washed up Cam) are history. They have very good interior line play to go along with capable skill positions, strong ST’s and HOF coaching. They’ll be a challenge for the foreseeable future. One can argue the jury is still out on their formulaic rookie QB, but he’s currently only tasked with not turning the ball over while eating clock. For us, it’s about fundamentals -as it always is.. Make them earn everything, minimize penalties and turnovers -and For God’s Sake, keep ‘McKittrick’ away from the ball! Idgaf how few t/o’s he’s officially credited with, he’s too small to effectively protect the ball and is a disaster waiting to happen in a cold, windy, snowy night game. Allen must be judicious. Only throw passes the elements can’t affect, protect the ball to the point of taking sacks, don’t attempt ‘read throws’ -where you and the receiver try to guess what the other will do- and be an encouraging influence on teammates. The Mafia will take care of the rest. Happy Holidays! Go BILLS!

🤦‍♂️CTFD. Nowhere close to the biggest game in the series. Not even in the same universe. This is merely a midseason game. No playoff spots will be awarded for the winner, the loser is still very much in the hunt. For a little much needed perspective, these teams played in the 1st ever AFL Playoff game in 1963, forced when we ended the season tied. Pats* won decisively then got blown out by San Diego in the title game. The ‘64 season finale between us decided the Eastern Division title where we went on to dethrone the Chargers for our 1st Championship. They were our chief rival the following season as we won Back to Back League titles. OJ rushed for over 450 yards in the 2 games in ‘73, enroute to 2000 yards in 14 games -still unmatched! In the strike-shortened/Scab-ball season of ‘87, we needed only to beat them in the season finale to make the playoffs. They beat us 14-6. We would go on to win 5 of the next 6 Division titles. Last season was the 1st time ever we swept the Division with the closest game being the 1st one with them, where Justin Zimmer stripped the ball from Cam Newton late to secure the win. Your table is ready, Sir.
