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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Lots of circumstantial details in this. If they have those phone calls, he's a dead man. The Bills can't just ignore this.

Ugly ugly ugly

So awful

This goes back to the fact that Ralph Wilson was from Detroit. When he started the Bills, he was looking over his shoulder at the Lions. In their first season, the Bills' uniforms were almost duplicates of the Lions' down to using the same colors. So the Bills always played the Lions in their last pre-season game. But that's such ancient history I don't see why they still do it. From a website about the Bills' uniforms: "For the first two seasons of the Bills existence, the team's colors were Honolulu blue, silver, and white, the same colors as the Detroit Lions. Bills owner Ralph Wilson had been a minority owner of the Lions, and rumor has it the team's jerseys those two seasons were actually hand-me-downs from the Lions."

The Bills roster has already dropped a half dozen or more players (some of whom like Beasley and Wallace you mention) who were on the team last year. There's always a churn like this that opens up space for draft choices. Some of the other players who are not back this year include Breida, Butler, Hughes, Addison, Klein, Lotulelei, Matakevich, Phillips, Sanderson, Williams, Zimmer. etc. Yes, some of these (notably the defensive linemen) were replaced by veteran pickups, but not all.

Bryce Paup for sure.

His take seems completely reasonable to me. I want the Bills to do much better than this, but I can't deny they have not always lived up to expectations. To say nothing of the possibility of injury affecting the season.

I just re-watched the Atlanta game from last season the other day, and Stevenson looked absolutely awful as the return man. He kept running into his own blockers or got blown up by the Atlanta tacklers. I remember seeing a lot of this in other games as well. He runs too upright, makes bad choices, and seems to have no vision of the field.

So McKenzie is now wearing number 6?

Actually, in my experience it's kinda hard not to not have fun if you're a Bills fan. I am very much in favor of fun. But for some of us, given the history, it involves a serious attitude adjustment.
