Obviously the bills game is in all reality the only game that really matters…there are lots of other AFC match ups today to keep tabs on:

 

Jaguars vs. Browns

Texans vs. Jets

Colts vs. Bengals

Broncos vs. Chargers

 

With all the negativity and frustration surrounding this team, it’s important to keep perspective that our boys are still in the thick of it, and we only have a handful of weeks guaranteed left to enjoy.

 

Instead of harping on the head coach, or ragging on the roster or its construction, enjoy the ride and find some entertainment in the game and the circumstances, although we can agree they aren’t ideal. 
 

Go Bolded but mostly, GO BILLS!

So we want the Bengals and not the Colts?

That's a tough call, but I guess it would be preferable to pull the Colts back to the pack.

Yes, but then will be rooting for Bengals to drop games down the line.

Last year the chiefs got away with a blatant tripping on a 3rd down sack of allen.  

 

I am scared for what is coming today.  The chiefs had all week to complain to the league for not getting an obvious pi on green bay.  I imagine everything close is called on buffalo today.

1-0! GO BILLS!

Bills have had 2 weeks to complain about the horse collar.

the bills do not have the cache of the chiefs.

 

as much of a scumbag Andy Reid is he didn't use the the 9/11 terrorists as an analogy for teamwork.

 

If you don't think the league office behind the scenes didn't lose its mind over that you are naive.  

 

The bills are going to have to win 42-17 today because if it is close they are losing.

[iccrewman112]

With recent comments from the league about lack of Sefensive Pass interference calls, I expect there to be multiple on each team today with this being the nationally televised game. Coordinators for both teams should adjust accordingly.

Von playing today is bad karma for Buffalo.  Even the talking heads on TV this morning said the outrage over McDermott from 2019 should be more directed to Von Miller for allegedly assaulting a pregnant woman this week.  They are very critical.  I'm telling you, it's a bad look to have Von in uniform today.  Forget his less than stellar play,,, this is going to bring the Bills some bad pub if he's active.

[Freddie's Dead]

Cynthia Frelund on NFL Game Day:  Bills right now, 27% chance for playoffs, win today, 45% chance, lose 11%.  WWII game babyyyyy, MUST WIN!!!

This^^^.  Araiza was cut immediately.  Playing Von exposes the lie behind McDummy's whole persona.

The whole discussion on ESPN pre-game this morning was about McDermott not having his finger on the pulse of the team or a feel.  I also didn't realize he and Allen are not very close (but that's another topic for another day - Brady and Belichek weren't exactly good buddies either)..

 

But regarding Von, if Terry Pegula had any balls whatsoever he'd step in and say..."sit the guy today", and walk out.

Maybe it’s a good omen that I can’t watch.

 

The Bills usually win if I can’t watch.

The league has no issue promoting the hell out of human excrement like Tyreek Hill. A guy that beat his pregnant girlfriend and broke his toddler’s arm. Let’s not pretend the league has any semblance of morals. Any publicity is welcome.

I agree with everything you said.  And I also think the league is appalled a coach from a ny team made those statements.

We talked about it during the week,,, yeah zero chance the Bills leave this game with an officiating advantage. None.  It's a lock there will be holding on the O-Line that will negate big gains.  They will have to overcome it.  If the Refs want to call all the "handsy" stuff on Bills DB's they better call it both ways.

Oh Santa I've been very naughty and deserve a spankin'!!!!

Can’t the Bill’s just make him inactive today?

Isn't it sad we have to worry about the outcome being determined on what the refs decide to call today 

[BuffaloBillyG]

Just plainly going to state it. This is a cross roads game. Today starts the rise or fall of the Buffalo Bills 2023 season and beyond. 

 

A win and they stay very alive and in the thick of things. Narrative is they banded together in adversity.

 

A loss and they are sitting with a losing record with 4 games to play. Narrative is the circus of the Dunne piece, Von's distraction and even the Lawson/Eagle fan situation show how this team is discombobulated and lacks leadership at the top.

According to Shefter,   McDermott has Von as ACTIVE today.  Unless there's pressure to change his mind over the next 3.5 hours..

The difference is Araiza was only publicly accused by a shady lawyer after a year of police investigation failed to turn up any conclusive evidence, whereas Von was actually arrested after police were called immediately afterward and physical evidence was observed right away.

Pacheco makes a 7th rounder salary, Josh on the other hand............  LOL.

I was reaaaaallllly hoping that all the gaffes this week would be righted with Von watching this one at home. 
 

Between Von, Beane’s doubling down on his character, McD’s 9/11 speech, Lawson getting into it with fans, and Kelce calling out Phillips, the Bills are no longer the fun and feel good team to root for. 
 

Not necessarily speaking for the Bills fan base. I mean from the outside in, other forums have started to turn their perception of this team.

yup.  Gonna be a crappy week if we lose this one. Sucks that the team has “made its bed” this way, so to speak.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Go Bills !!!

[Pete]

 IMO the Bills blow them out.  Josh is on fire.  Take the lead early.  Win the turnover battle.  Win third downs.  Put Dallas and the rest of the NFL on notice

No. He doesn't offer what we need against the chiefs. We got great weather, DB's that are not solid, and a rather slow defense. 

[Pete]

if we lose, it will be another ultra devastating loss.  There are so many heart breaks.  The plus side is that all of those teams we need to leapfrog, that would help our draft position.

 

But that not happening.  The Bills know they can't lose again the season. Josh ***** Allen is back!  And ***** 17 is on a mission! 17 is winning it for the great city of Buffalo.  My $ is on Josh.  Go Josh Go!

Yeah. I live in the Mid-Atlantic and some acquaintances through work and other stuff are Eagles fans.  After the game, on Monday, they said the Bills were the dirtiest team they've ever seen play the Eagles.. and wish for bad things on us forever more, lol.  I still have no idea what they are talking about... I didn't see it that way.

Yes because the Eagles played such a clean game.
