My favorite was that insane sidearm throw where Kelsey got called on the push-off.
Guy's got more arm angles than anybody since Bernie Kosar.
There's almost 2 Quisenberry's on the field.
RIP Dan Quisinberry. I was a fan of him--great relief pitcher for Royals.

I agree. i was happy for him..... little did i know the whole fan base would act like they never had business losing a game for the rest of time...
Do you really think, if the Bills had the success that the Chiefs have had, that Bills fans would be any better? That there wouldn't be just as many Bills fans who would act like jerks about the team?
To imagine so is, in my opinion laughable.

Is that wrong?
Mahomes is one of the most fun players in the league to watch. You almost have to love that guy as a general fan of the game. It's cool that he and Allen have so much respect for each other and have said they're friends off the field. I also have always liked Reid, and he really paid his dues in Philly all those years.
I also see their market & history has similar to Buffalo. Not an NFL darling, passionate & crazy fanbase. Came up short for decades before finally having a team that can deliver. And Patriots fans hate KC, so that has to count for something.
I find it strange that I don't hate them, because I usually hate any team that ends my team's season even once, and they've done it twice now.
Anyone else feel that way? I have a feeling I'm going to get a lot of vomit reactions, but I was curious.
I lived in Kansas City for many years, and have an affection for the place and the people there. They are for the most part decent, open, midwestern folk not so different from people in Buffalo. I have never wavered in my support for the Bills, but I did become a fan of the KC Royals and that has stuck with me.
Remember, before he was coach of the Bills, Marv Levy was head coach of the Chiefs.

Takes 2 to tango - any team signing him off the PS has to keep him on the 53 for 3 weeks. He's never played a down in the NFL and was drafted in 2020. There are like 30-40 WRs drafted every year plus UDFA's. There are a LOT of guys out there on Practice squads who are the exact same player as hodgins, and probably know their teams playbooks.
Is there some evidence that Hodgins doesn't know the Bills' playbook?

If we were talking about QB in the awful years would you be cool with “addressing” the position with 4th, 5th and 6th round picks? No. Outside of Diggs they have done NOTHING to support Allen at WR in the draft. They let Beasley go and didn’t even spend what he was making to get replacements. Basham and AJE were both awful picks due to the available options and Cook is another ***** RB prospect, who much to my dislike is exactly what I said he was, a pass catcher who can’t pass block and therefore can’t get on the field.Beasley was DONE as a Bill. I appreciated how hard he played for them, but keeping him on this team would not have done the Bills any favors.

That was the point when I thought that it just wasn't our day.
Idiot Tim Graham over at The Athletic singles out this play as a sign of Jackson's greatness, as if being saved by a miracle from an interception is some sign of his prowess, a "pinpoint heave" that "made possible" the catch.

I nearly lost my mind when Lamar escaped a sack from two Bills rushers and went on to pick up a 3rd and forever. Everything that could go wrong went wrong in the first half and that trend totally reversed in the second half.
Jackson escaping the sack was amazing, but the pass he threw was boneheaded, a gift-wrapped interception to Milano, and it was only because of a miracle that it ended up complete.

So let me start with this - I am all for strengthening the protocol. I am all for any evidence of a loss of motor functionality means immediate withdrawal of a player from the game. I expect that to be discussed after the season (if not before then) and the rule change to be brought it and I would absolutely support it. I was as surprised as anyone that Tua returned to the game after half time. I thought for sure he was done. I saw the same as everyone else. But for me to believe that he did have a concussion after that incident I have to believe that either:
a) the process was not followed to the letter and either the independent neurologist did not examine Tua or that pressure was brought to bear on his finding; or
b) that the independent neurologist screwed up.
b) is not credible to me. If the examination was conducted and they thought there was any chance he had concussion they would not have approved him to go back into the game. If they screwed up it would be a potential professional negligence issue and we are talking careers on the line. So I am not going to substitute an independent neurologist's view after conducting an examination for mine sitting on my sofa. I do believe a) is a credible explanation but nobody so far has uncovered any evidence to suggest that was the case or that the process was not followed to the letter. Which leaves me with maybe he wasn't concussed. That does not, however, mean I think he should have gone back into the game and the protocol absolutely should be looked at.
Medical professionals screw up all the time, especially when they are under pressure of time or other circumstances. We don't know the exact circumstances of the examination that went on last Sunday, but I can believe that for one reason or another the person involved screwed up.
I hope we will learn more.

If it wasnt a completed catch then it can not be ruled a fumble. It would be ruled an incompletion in that case. I still think it was a catch but it doesnt matter. It was so close there is no way to know regardless of what people feel. We never know what refs are going to do. They ruled that Int on a 50/50 ball last year when an offensive player always gets the ball on a 50/50. Upheld on review. I think challenging it is the right call. If nothing else the offense gets extra rest and it was obviously needed. They could have made up the timeout by not calling another timeout later in the game like on the punt.
You are seeing with your heart, not your eyes.

What I hate most about the loss is listening to all the fools on this board who want to fire the coaching staff.

The Fox comparison is perfect. I’ve been saying the same thing without the direct comparison, McClappy got them out of the doldrums, but his God Awful game day decisions already cost us the game forever knows as :13. They cost the game yesterday too. He’s a pathetically conservative coach. Hopefully Beane sees it in one to get that ring before McD wastes this roster completely.
I disagree. Those of you who think you can just order up somebody who is going to be an improvement on McD are fools. The things he has done to make this a unified team, to get the best performances out of a large roster of individuals, to cause them to play for each other and the team instead of focusing on individual achievements, to prepare properly for games, to manage the vast variety of different personalities, to get them all pointed in the same direction--these are not insignificant traits.
Every coach that ever existed can be cited for decisions they made in the heat of a game that did not work. I could give you many decisions by Bill Belichick that can be seen as costing them games over his career.
Anybody who has experienced the roster of lousy coaches the Bills have had over their history ought to know better than kick McD to the curb. I say this as somebody who was vastly skeptical of his hiring; I had to be convinced, and I am convinced.
PS: He is NOT a conservative coach--unless you define conservative as someone who does not automatically go for it on every fourth down. We haver seen him take big chances repeatedly in tough game situations over the last few years.

I didn't read all 17 pages of this thread, probably because I don't hate myself, but...
Matt Milano dropped a pick-six.
Josh Allen skipped a pass off the ground to a wide open Isaiah McKenzie that would've given the Bills the lead with under two minutes left in the game.
Greg Van Roten botched a snap that could've given the Bills a field goal before halftime.
Tyler Bass missed a 38 yard kick.
If any one of the above things goes the other way, the Bills possibly win the game. If two of those things go the other way, the Bills almost certainly win the game. Solely blaming the coaches for the loss is nonsense.
I mean...blame the coaches if you want. Blame the players for the plays I just mentioned if you want. Blame the heat, injuries, and insane war of attrition if you want.
Me? I say it took a perfect storm of all of the above for the Bills to lose by two points. They'll be fine. They're the best team in the league. Get a grip.
P.S. Citing the "0-7 in close games" without mentioning that they've also won 20 games in a row by double digits and didn't punt in 4 of their last 7 games (which is the first time that's ever happened since 1939) is lame. Another way of saying "they're bad in close games!" is "the Bills either win huge or barely get beaten, and just about never get blown out or beaten by big margins".
P.P.S. As soon as I saw the title of this thread, I immediately knew who the author was without even looking. Classic Einstein. 💩Thank You. The amount of nonsense posted on this board is painful. Reminds me of the saying, "The average person is not very smart, and half of the people are dumber than that."

Some women keep coming back to husbands who abuse them.
It's sad.

HIs maintaining full use of his body is so much more important than whether he plays again this season or ever.
Football is a brutal game; I'd rather see him retire than risk his ability to live a complete life.

Get that ridiculous nonsense out of here
That was the first and only time Moss has fumbled in the 200+ carries he's had for this team.
That's 1 fumble for every 214 carries
In the 500 carries that Singletary has had, he's fumbled 7 times.
That's 1 fumble for every 71 carries.
That means Singletary has fumbled about three times more often than Moss.
Who has the fumbling problem?
🤡
This is not true. Moss fumbled coming out of the end zone on the one yard line against the 49ers in 2020 which led directly to a 49ers touchdown and a seven-point lead. The fumble was charged to Allen but it was clearly Moss who was looking at the defense instead of securing the ball.
He also fumbled twice on pass plays in 2021, losing one of them.

I’ve been s Bills fan since the 1960s (I’m an old dude) but even I am getting tired of the almost hysterical overreaction to the Bills beating the Rams.
Yes, they looked formidable but it’s only one game. They have 16 to go.
I want them to win them all but let’s not become as obnoxious as the Pats fans were at their height. The Bills haven’t won anything yet.

... because I took the time to attend a 7 pm fiction reading at a local bookstore by a friend and one of my students when all I really wanted to do was stay home and get ready for the game. But I showed them my respect and still got home just in time for the kickoff.
Good deeds get rewarded!

The question is - how much of that is Allen improvising versus Dorsey calling a designed QB keeper?
I get the sense that some of those runs are option plays where Allen can hand the ball off or keep it... or broken pass plays where the coverage is good and he just decides to keep the ball rather than throwing it away.
I think this is what is happening on a lot of those. Read option plays were Josh is choosing to keep it himself rather than hand it off.
I suppose you could criticize Dorsey for even calling those plays instead of straight handoffs, but maybe Josh should just choose not to take this beating so often.

He is a tough and talented player who gave his all for the team and made a difference.
I don't care for his off-field attitudes, but that is beside the point.

No disrespect bud, but what did you expect them to do? This was a sensitive subject they had no idea that was true or not. They were just accusations, and we live in a country where false accusations are made every day. Heck, let's be real, it so common that our own politicians and media on both sides of the aisle literally lie and make false accusations daily to the entire country.
Point is, there were no criminal chargers (still aren't) and there was no civil case (just got filed). A civil attorney, who is someone working to get money for his client, contacted the accused employer to push pressure on Matt that he has something massive to lose here to incentivize a settlement and for the most he can get for his client.
Anyone would be crazy to take that at face value, assume guilt, and throw the player under the bus making public statements on something they don't not yet know are credible accusations. Bills not only respected the seriousness of the accusations and victim, but also the seriousness of the accused and working to figure this out behind the scenes before making any decisions or statements.
Also, lets not forget these are football coaches and football executives. They are not professional investigators, lawyers, etc...this could not and clearly was not, easy for them to deal with and figure out what the right thing was to do. And there is 0% chance any decision they made would have been seen 100% of all people approve of. Had they just cut him over an accusation from a civil attorney working on a settlement, they would have looked bad to for not giving it a chance to shake out and see if this is credible or not.
So people just need to give these guys a break...they did what they felt was the best they could in a really bad spot.
Now lets all move on and get back to football. This is in the rear view mirror and they guys did the right thing.
Very well reasoned, IMHO.

After seeing McDermott's post-game comments, the spiritless play of the team last night, and considering non-football circumstances, I think that Araiza must go, regardless of his degree of guilt or innocence.

It doesn’t matter what they say. I’d just as soon have them talk down the Bills as much as possible. The proof will be when the Bills win the title.
