Because Tyrod is short, in a league of athletic linemen who are well over 6 feet tall and trained to batt down the ball. Maybe Drew Brees has learned to deal with being only 6' tall, but Tyrod has not.

I don't think I've made a prediction before now. I'll say 7-9 or 8-8.

What kind of coach has the entire offense resting on the back of a single running back, one who is not some beast like Earl Campbell or Jerome Bettis, but a relatively slight guy who counts on people missing, who has injury issues in recent seasons, and who before than had the most carries in the league for several years? I was saying after the San Francisco game that the hysteria about McCoy being league MVP and leading the league in rushing was a delusion because he could not carry that load for a full season without getting hurt. Here we are. Does anyone think the Pats game next week is going to go like the one in Foxboro, where the Bills nurse a slight lead through four quarters—with Tom Brady playing QB on the other side of the line? What's Rex's fallback position?

It does seem to me that TT holds the ball too long and is late on throws when the receivers have the coverage beat. The pass the 2 yard line on the last scoring drive got there late enough for the receiver to get nailed as he caught it; if TT had thrown it a second earlier he would have scored easily. Of course it's easy for me to say this after the fact.

Put Tyrod in a situation where he has to throw the ball, and the Bills are DEAD.

Ladies and gentlemen, your Buffalo Bills. 1-3 in the AFC, 1-2 in the Eastern Division. Soon to be 1-4 and 1-3 respectively, and dead dead dead even for a wildcard spot. Are you surprised? Has Tyrod Taylor ever led a 4th quarter comeback? If I'm not mistaken, EJ has had more of those than Tyrod has.

My point is not that the Steelers were inconsiderable, but that the Bills looked unbeatable going into that game and still lost. This current four-game winning streak is great. But it means very little in the large scheme of things. Let's see how they do against an improving Dolphins team and then against the Patriots.

The 2004 Bills started 0-4 (losing 3 games by a total of 8 points), and then went on to win 9 of their next 11 games, including a 6-game winning streak. During these eleven games they won games by the scores 38-14, 37-17, 38-9, 42-32, 37-7, 33-17, and 41-7. They looked like an absolute juggernaut, beating the snot out of everybody they faced (with the exception of the Patriots, of course). As you know, they came into the last game of the season against the Steelers, in Buffalo, needing to win to clinch a playoff spot. The Steelers rested their starters, and the Bills managed to lose 29-24. Talk to me about how great the Bills are at the end of the season.

I give him some credit for the turnaround. But I'm still wait and see. I just feel that his flaws as a coach will resurface. Ask me in January.

I'm glad to be wrong about this game, which I fully expected the Bills to lose. I'll eat some crow on that one.

I don't care if you call it a "trap" game or not. I expect the Bills to faceplant against the 49ers today.

I don't care what you call it. I just know the Bills have a history of losing such games as this and I won't believe that history has changed until they show me.

I don't know if the Bills are looking past them, but the fans are acting as if beating SF and Miami is a done deal, and are looking forward to the rematch with New England. Tell me that's not the case.

J.P. Losman was drafted in the first round, as was EJ

This feels like a classic trap game for the Bills. Normally they come home from a road trip in this situation and fall flat on their faces. If they do not, I will begin to believe that something has changed. My expectations: 1) Bills fans lose their minds in abuse of Kaepernick about the national anthem protest. 2) He plays well, gives the defense fits. 3) Bills lose in humiliating fashion. I hope the Bills and their fans prove me wrong on these, especially on #1.

It is a fact that Blacks are pulled for traffic stops at a rate far beyond the rate that while drivers are pulled. "Driving While Black" is a real thing.

I suspect this may not work out well for the Bills. But at least it's a home game.

Let's see where we are in December. Meanwhile, I'm pleased to see them win. And I still think hiring Rex was a terrible mistake.

If Kap starts I think the 49ers win.

I hope he didn't eat all of the humble pie. Maybe just a small slice. And no ice cream.

Trump had no basis for saying that Curiel was "being racist against him" other than the fact that Curiel was of Mexican descent. He was assuming that, if the judge ruled against him, it was because of his race. If that's not racist, what is?

Two good games in a row after two terrible games. Let's see at the end of the season if we want him to stay.

Paranoid much? Your scenario for what happens if Clinton is elected is like a cheap dystopian novel. All you left out was the Antichrist and the Rapture. Plus, there is no apostrophe in a simple plural word. "Muslims," not "Muslim's" Sheesh.

Interesting. My guess was that most of the "leaning independent" voters in this election would be people who, if they ever had voted for one of the major parties, had voted for Republican presidential candidates, or if they had ever voted for a Democrat it was a long time ago. Just for the record: 2000: Gore 2004: Kerry 2008: Obama 2012: Obama Yes, I'm a liberal. Peace.

I'm curious about you folks who said in the poll you are leaning third party voters. My question is, in the 2004, 2008, and 2012 elections (I include 2004 in order to get away from any "Obama effect"), did you vote Republican or did you vote Democrat or did you vote some third way (or not at all)?
