Flores is a good coach who got screwed by Miami.

Go watch this video and tell me that you don't want to beat the heck out of this cocky team on Sunday.

I see absolutely noting objectionable in this video. It's just a team that, rightly, is confident in itself—they have to have an attitude, some degree of arrogance, to win. The Bills are absolutely no different.

there is a trend here to discount points scored on short fields, as though they pretty much are impossible to stop.
see above
At the very least, when the opposing team gets the ball in field goal position, you would be insane to grumble about the defense allowing a field goal.
To say nothing about touchdowns scored by the other team's defense.

my bad. but after going up by 17 on the biggest playoff underdog in NFL history, they gave up the lead and went down by 4 after the fumble TD. Then, after the Offense scored 14 in under 3 minutes , Miami scored 11 unanswered. Dolphins then melted down at 2 min with dumb penalties (false start, delay of game). Even on that drive, the Bills D gave up 14 on a 2nd and 15. They also gave up a 3rd and 19 on a drive that got Miami a FG, a 2nd and 15 on another scoring drive, a 2nd and 13 for a TD drive.
ask the Falcons
is "points a team could have scored with TDs instead of FGs" a new analytic metric for Defenses?
The Dolphins' drives yesterday were:
38 yards (field goal--started the drive on the Miami 40 after Bass kicked off out of bounds)
18 yards (field goal--started drive on the Buffalo 48)
8 yards (field goal--started drive on the Buffalo 27)
18 yards (touchdown--started drive on the Buffalo 18)
and in the fourth quarter
75 yards (touchdown--started drive on the Miami 25)
plus the Miami defense scored in the third quarter on Josh's fumble.
Conclusion: The Bills defense played an excellent game. They allowed one serious drive in the entire game. All the other Dolphins' scores came as a result of turnovers or starting their drives in Bills territory.

What can you say when your dumbass coach calls not one, but TWO timeouts when the Fish were down to nothing on the play clock? Once to wipe out the 4th down stop and give McDaniel the option to punt, and once again to wipe out Tremaine Edmunds making a stop to bring up 3rd and 10. Weird.
I was mad at McD for calling thst time out on the Fins failed pass, but in retrospect it is defensible. He noticed the defense was not priperly lined up for that play, and he was right—Waddle was open but Thompson overthrew him. If he had not, it would have been a TD, which McD’s TO would have prevented. It only looked bad because Thompson did not complete the pass.

I get it that the game was a nail biter. I was convinced, late in the 4th quarter, that they would lose.
But the Bills played far from their best game, turned the ball over three times, and still scored 34 points.
Those calling for Dorsey’s head are hysterical.

I stand by what I say and said. Those are and were my beliefs. Of course, I was wrong on many as it turned out.
Nevertheless, that doesn't deter me from voicing my opinions. I try to back them.up with facts or realistic opinions. I have no regrets on what I said. I've eaten crow many times and gladly will when the Bills win when I think they won't.
Doesn't sound like you have much appetite for crow. This is hardly a nibble.

Interesting how canceling the Bills-Bengals game eliminated any possibility the Bengals would get the top seed, whereas the Bills are still alive for it.
If I were a Bengals fan I would not be happy about that, or about the dumb idea that, even though they've won their division, they may have to flip a coin to decide if they play the Ravens at home or on the road in the playoffs.

I wouldn't have any trouble with the Bills forfeiting the game.

Postpone the game. I know that would be a mess, but how can they go on?

Keep divisions and 6 games against division opponents. Too much history and rivalry. Too much fun now that we own the AFCE after the drought.
Once we get to a 21-22 game season in like 2050, assuming no expansion franchises which is no safe bet, then we could do: all AFC teams, each division opponent 2x, and still get 3-4 NFC games per year.

Obviously I'd like to see the Bills get the #1 seed. And the path to the Super Bowl is harder if they don't get it.
But if they lose tonight they are far from done. #1 seeds have won only seven of the last 22 Super Bowls. Getting the home field and the bye are absolutely no guarantee.

This is fantasy. Even if he's cleared to play, he can't play at his former level coming off almost a full season of not playing. In the current situation he would not offer an improvement to the defense.

Tua should call it a career. He seems like a really nice guy. He has his whole life ahead of him and it isn’t worth it. I feel the same way about Mitch Morse at this point.
I think I agree with you about Morse. Six concussions is not good.
When I had a concussion, even after I felt completely normal months later, if I bumped my head I was as woozy as if I were back in the minutes after the concussion.

Oh I'm banging the drum for Cook to start and get more playing time. And I love Singletary and have stuck up for him repeatedly because he's a solid player and he's been our only real option at RB for a few years now.
I'm also not "just getting lost in the stats", he looks like the better, more explosive back more often than not over the last 6 weeks. That's when he started getting his first real chance to contribute in this offense. And imo he's outplayed Singletary.
I would caution you on being too comfortable with the same old thing. One looks the part of a featured back, with the ability to make big plays and the other looks like a typical #2 RB, the best you can say about his game is he's steady. That's not meant to be a knock on Singletary, it's just the truth. We finally have the luxury of putting Singletary at his true position.
We know what we have in Singletary, he's hit his ceiling. He's the little engine that could and there's nothing wrong with that. We have no idea how high Cook's ceiling is, but you can plainly see it's higher than Singletary's by a noticeable margin. You get the feeling he could break one at anytime. I miss that at the RB position and you know what? So does this offense. With an offense desperate for big plays right now, this should be a no brainer. I think the coaches are starting to see it too. 2 of the last 4 games the carries were evenly split, each had a game with 1 more carry than the other.

In episode three of season one of the Apple TV series "Mythic Quest," the game company that is the setting of the series has to set up rules of behavior for people who sign on to the online game "Mythic Quest" that gives the series its title. They form a committee to decide what groups to ban from the game, playing one group of terrible people off against another in order to decide which group is the absolute worst.
In the end they decide that Nazis are the worst, but it was close. Here's a screen capture of the final choice.

High of 12 degrees, 22 mph winds, gusts to 38 mph, wind chill -19 degrees.
Sounds very bad for a passing offense.

Dude, take your own advice. Maybe you are just closed minded and lack strategic thinking. Don't know. Use your brain, it isn't that hard...
The run was on 2nd, Miami used their last TO. Buffalo kneeled on 3rd, took their 2nd TO.
You now have 4th Down, in severe weather conditions for the snap, hold, and approach by the kicker. If something goes wrong you have no room for error, game goes to overtime.
If you took 1 more step forward and took the free first down, the FG would have been on 2nd down, if something went wrong with the snap, hold, footing of Bass, you could have tucked the ball down, call your final TO, then kick again.
Class dismissed.
Wrong. The whole point of running the clock down is to leave the Dolphins with NO TIME on the clock, so you don't have to kick off and risk some miracle play.

I think it was absolutely the right decision. Don't let the Dolphins touch the ball again--especially because they have Hill and Waddle. Listening to the play-by-play I thought, "This is why Sanchez is no longer in the league."

I said the Vikings were going to fall apart after they lucked out and beat the Bills.
I remember when the Raiders, many years ago, started 8-3 and then failed to make the playoffs.
