Does this suggest that the Bills consider Tre White better than Rasul Douglas at this point?

I was at that Houston game where Haygood Clark ran back the interception to win the game in the last minute.

Being anxious for the game has me wondering, does anyone else have this sensation of acceptance? As in, we are right here, right now. Whatever will be, will be.
We've all been here before. But I can't bring myself to worry of a heartbreak. For some reason I'm not concerned today. We'll all be alright, because our destiny was written long ago.
Does your heart feel a strange calmness today?
To a degree, yes. I'm sure I'll still feel awful if they lose a heartbreaker--there've been so many--but I've enjoyed this season more than any in a long time, and life will go on.

I'll feel better if they can keep Kelce from being open in the middle of the field without any defender within five yards of him.

I am overjoyed the Bills won that game despite giving up as many yards as they did in the earlier Ravens game where they got beaten by 25 points.
The Ravens really looked like the better team much of the game, but the Bills still won--it reminds me of the way the Chiefs have won crucial games, and the way the Patriots regularly beat teams who played well enough against them that they should have won.
I am very curious as to how they are going to come out against the Chiefs.

I really want the Bills to win in order for them to go to Arrowhead and beat the Chiefs on their home turf.
Tomorrow is a big deal.

Having spent entirely too much time in the last couple of days reading and listening to what the commentators are saying about the Ravens and Bills, the consensus seems to be that Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson are unstoppable, the Ravens are the greatest team since the Monsters of the Midway, and the Bills should just curl up into the fetal position and beg for mercy.
What the point of even playing the game, let alone watching it?

People really need to just let 13 seconds go (I hate even typing 13 seconds anymore). It was three years ago. We are a better team. McDermott is a better coach for it. Growth mindset: Learn from your mistakes, get better, and move on. All of the anti-McD sentiment still really just stems from that one game. There is almost nothing else that anyone can point to (except maybe the Bengals playoff game, but that's a pretty bad argument imo, people just like to ignore all of the crazy circumstances of that season).
Well said.
That KC loss hurts whenever I think of it, but there's not a team in the league that doesn't have losses that keep their fans awake at night twenty years after the fact. People who obsess about such moments (I've been one) can never move forward, and cannot see clearly the dozens of other choices and chances that go into every victory or loss.
McDermott is a better coach than such people are capable of seeing. And the hypothetical coach they want to replace him will always be somebody who has never made, and will never make, any of the crucial mistakes that real coaches do.

The one pet peeve of mine is when Buffalo is running a 2 minute drill on offense before the half w/ 3 time outs in their pocket and McDermott only starts using them with 50 seconds left. I hate it with a passion.
Teams (not just the Bills) do that so that, if the drive fails, they don't leave enough time on the clock for the opponent to drive the length of the field and score.

Different era. Those are not bad numbers for the era. He was a three time pro bowler and MVP in 1979. He led the league in passing TDs twice. And then he did a lot in the playoffs, too.
He isn't the greatest ever, but he was a good QB.
Jack Kemp never completed 50% of his passes in any season of his career.

Under Vrabel the Pats could become a problem for Buffalo.

Does anybody beside me think it is idiotic that the NFL has added the "Super" to "Wild Card Weekend"? Do they think we are seven-year-old Marvel Comics fans who will be more excited if they add meaningless adjectives?
How long before it becomes the "The Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious Tesla Maybelline Jesus McDonald's Wild Card Weekend"?

So, clock management. If McDermott did what Harbaugh did in the last two minutes, people here would be screaming for him to be fired.

Baltimore
The only team to handedly beat us in all phases this season. It was never a game. And I don't think that was a mirage.
We don't match up well against them. The things they're best at are things we're bad at. We could not stop them. And Defensively, they gave us fits.
I'm hoping Zay Flowers being out and it being a Division game leads to the Steelers doing an upset. Or that Zay misses next week as well. I think we always have a chance against anyone. But if there's one team I want to avoid? It's Baltimore, easy.
At 21-10 in the third quarter and the Bills driving (two first downs, 2nd and 7 on the Ravens' 44-yard-line) it was turning into a game. If the Bills scored a TD it's a new ball game.
Then Brady called the trick play that backfired, Josh got the ball knocked out of his hand, the Ravens recovered, scored, and it was over.
My point being that despite the terrible first half it was not over yet, and in fact the Bills were coming back and might have made it a close game (as they did the previous time they played the Ravens in Baltimore, when they came from way behind in the second half to beat them 23-20).

So, you guys wanted Coleman to have his best game of the season yesterday against the Pats and have him single handedly win the game and gift wrap the #1 pick to NE?........or maybe, just maybe the whole team played half-heartedly with very little effort in their vanilla O (should have been zero surprise to anyone) and basically just go through the motions to get the game over and done with and have no injuries going into the post season.
Coleman will shine in the playoffs when the games actually mean something.........bank on it.
For pity's sake, this is silly. Nobody had such expectations--I certainly didn't. And I've been generally supportive of Coleman and expect him to improve.
But there's no denying that, for whatever reason, he looked bad yesterday.

I realize he was being thrown to by Trubisky and White instead of Allen, but against a bad secondary he got zero separation yesterday. Two catches on ten targets.
He's shown some real flashes this season, but I'd say I'm more worried about him and his prospects now than I have been before this game.

I just love how this has turned into a thread blaming McDermott for losing games that haven’t happened yet.

Whether Josh wins the MVP depends on whether he plays badly in these last two games. A couple of crappy games while Lamar plays well might put him out of it.

I get your point, but I respectfully disagree.
Josh Allen has been doubted, ridiculed, laughed at, and insulted his entire career. He has had to fight, claw, and scrap to get where he is. You all already know the story -- the no college offers, the 1,000 letters he wrote, the "if Josh Allen succeeds, he will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself" article, all of it -- so I won't go into more detail on it. But make no mistake: If we're talking about legacy, if we're talking about going down as an all-time great and a first ballot Hall of Famer, Josh Allen DOES need to win an MVP award. He absolutely does.
Not only does he need it for his legacy, but he deserves to win it. For the work he puts in, for the way he has transformed this franchise, for the way he lifts up an entire region, for all the good he does in the community. He deserves it.
Aside from needing the award to help cement his legacy, and deserving the award, I also just WANT him to win it. He's a good, kind, funny, genuine, selfless, awesome person and an All-World golden retriever lumberjack space alien with a howitzer for an arm, and *****, I want him to have an MVP on his resume.
So yeah...I get it. It's all about a Lombardi. I'm sure Josh Allen would say the same thing, and I'm sure coach McDermott would say the same thing. But I, as a fan, don't have to say the same thing. I can admit it: I WANT JOSH ALLEN TO WIN THE MVP AWARD. I want it badly.I want Allen to get the MVP for all the reasons you state.
But right now I want him healthy and able to play. That's much more on my mind given what he said after the game about his shoulder.

Why do I have a bad feeling that this Allen injury is not something to brush off. He clearly thought something was wrong after the game. The fact that they were running him when that injury happened just shows that this idiotic staff will NEVER EVER learn from mistakes in the past. I was screaming at the tv after that run in total disbelief that they would ever risk Allen at that stage in the game.
This is the thing that really worries me. How many times have we figured at the end of a game that nobody got injured only to find out early in the week that somebody has a serious injury that will affect their ability to play in future games?
I, also, hated that particular run at that point in the game. It was not necessary.-

I think Allen is great and I would love to see him win the MVP.
But I for one am tired about all of the MVP talk. When it gets down to it, I bet Allen is, too. It's irrelevant to what is important for this team, which still has a lot of work to do.
Allen needs to stay healthy, not win the MVP. The team needs to stay healthy. The defense needs to pull itself together. The defensive backfield has a lot of vulnerabilities that need to be dealt with. Milano is hurt again. Josh hurt his shoulder on a play that he needn't have made. The first thing I want to know after each game is what's the injury situation.
All this MVP yammer is a distraction. I can't imagine anybody on the Bills is spending much time thinking about it.

Elijah Moore Visiting the Bills today (Update: Signed!)
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I've had the same questions about Cooper. He seemed like a fit for the locker room, and he made a few plays, but he did not get thrown to anywhere near as much as I'd expected. Do Josh or Brady not trust him? Does Cooper think that the Bills were not using him properly, or have his skills deteriorated, or is it a matter of money? Seems weird that he's not been on the radar.
