Just waiting for bills to play a complete game (mostly on offense). They’ve been jittery / sloppy ALL YEAR part of our entire game. 
 

chiefs and dolphins O are absolutely humming 

 

mall about improving and playing best football this time of year

 

It's more about improving THAN playing best football this time of year. The offense got it spot on last year - yes, hit and miss in the regular season but clicked into place for the play offs.

I hate the dolphins. Bills board is no better when we’re way ahead / Steelers game ( but even then - you could see our D / DBs were giving up short and intermediate passing game 300 passers - foreshadowing )

 

Then go to Gang Green message board.

Unofrtunately they made the most of their picks. They don't always turn out well.

It would be nice if their streak of incompetence would continue as our franchise QB is in his prime years, but again everything in the NFL is set up to avoid one team dominance. Especially within a division : just shows what an astounding run of good fortune was bestowed on the Pats during the Brady years.

You're pumping up a team that hasn't made the postseason since forever. They finally get a creative offensive mind and some talent at WR and all of a sudden they're Bill Walsh and the 80s 49ers. Their D is garbage. This team without their entire starting secondary still held them in check. Allen and Co. on an off day still put up 500 yards.

 

They're improved, yes. But they are not SB contenders. Nope!

 

Let's see the warm weather speed demons in Arrowhead or Buffalo.

 

If not, do you really see Allen having trouble in Miami on a 50 degree day in January?

KC moved the ball on SF like a hot knife through butter.  Hopefully the 49ers study up.

KC has the best QB on the planet. Tua throws 5-6 passes every game where it can be picked. SF doesn’t miss gifts like that. Niners will be favored by at least 6 and will win by double digits. Of course I’m biased since I think the Niners win the SB and put a pretty good amount of $ on them to win it al at +1800 when Lance got hurt and Jimmy took back over

Yea he said it- he’d have to nail it this past draft for them to get where they want to go. 
 

I would say Bernard is an absolute miss of a 3rd round (based on value)

 

cook is meh 


elam is meh 

 

shakir I think will be pretty good Josh reed or Robert woods type 

 

benford has def been worth it for the value 

 

but they haven’t absolutely nailed any of the picks . And I just fear this FO get so in love / married to their picks pre draft

 


HATE the Bernard pick.  Hated it then … hate it even more now.  No clue what the thought process was there. 
 

Elam has looked good when he’s out there.  Not sure we can judge him negatively because he never played zone in college and got hurt.  He shut ish down in the 4th when we needed to emergency sub him in. 
 

Cook was a luxury pick for this year.  Will likely become a big contributor starting next year.   Understand frustration in using a 2nd on a RB you don’t use heavily immediately. 
 

Shakir is another guy who likely grows in the offense as the main slot next year.  Dorsey actually has to show some creativity if we ever want to maximize his ability. 
 

Benford hopefully gets transitioned to Safety for next year and could end up being an even better pick than the solid depth corner he is now.  
 

Draft is heavily TBD, but I’d agree that they seemed to pick guys for the future more so than to help this year… which is fine, until your OL is playing at a mediocre level and you’re down to 4 WR’s.

Received an email from Peacock announcing their riveting Sunday night schedule for Dec.  Wow this will keep me up every week.  Think maybe this week they will be announcing which games will be moved to Saturday Dec 17th.  Think a good chance Bills-Fish game is one of them.

It's not just Sunday night. It's every week. This is by far the least talented set of teams I've ever seen in the league. I can't think of more than a few games all year that jumped off the schedule

TEN still has no kicker

I can't stand seeing Miami turn things around in 1 year. While we "trust the process". I watch them and KC and it seems like they can just score at will. I miss debol, and good health.

I hear you. and i think SF will beat them.  But people just assuming Miami won’t move the ball or McDaniels will call the exact same plays that Shanahan knows, is kind of reaching.

I’d say yes, blowout for Bills. Texans can cure a lot of ills ; they’re just baaad

I'm going to say the Bills would start slow but by the end of the game they'd have 27. Not by halftime. I think Bills play to the level of their opponent based on the eye test. Nothing factual.

It’s not unrealistic, but there’s a lot of football yet to be played. 

I think they could very well

win the east. The next three games for Miami will be tough tho

Again, let's wait and see how the next 3 weeks play out, you know, when they play teams that actually have a pulse.

 

No no no, you always project the worst possible senario into the future. 

 

The Bills lose out, Josh Allen retires to raise goats in Montana, Terry sells the team to Canadian Tire and move to Oshawa. Mark it down!

Still a Bills msg board. The Bills beat themselves against the Jets. And your point about Miami steam rolling their way to the SB is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard here. That's was "cool cool cool". 

Exactly, so the Dolphins are steam rolling their way to the Super Bowl because they're blowing out the worst team in the league? Talk about a hot take.
