Zero chance you can name a WR on that team playing tonight other than London. I know I sure can't.

feels like a josh goes crazy bounce back game to me, but very competitive 

We need 30.  Birds will play ball control with run game.  We need to get to 14 in first quarter to prevent this.  First quarter is key.

We just need to start playing better D overall imo.  Hopefully our plan is to sellout stopping the run and short pass while forcing Penix to 10 yards plus

Agreed. Bills are playing a dangerous game.  Doesnt feel like we’ve improved last years team and we’ve been sleep walking through the first 5 games playing sloppy football.  Patriots with Vrabel and Maye are no joke.  

 

The caveat for me again is that the Bills made numerous offseason moves intended to improve the defense.

 

It sometimes takes time for the parts to work well together and I still expect improvement from our defense. Again the questions are 1) how much improvement?, and 2) will it be enough?

They have that super quick, speedy guy who I think they signed as a free agent from Chicago... but I think he's been declared out for this one.

Even this isn't true. There is collective amnesia amongst Bills fans about the 2021 and 2023 regular seasons. In 2023 (two seasons ago, you know, the season where we lost to the Broncos and fired Ken Dorsey), the Blls were 6-6 after the overtime loss in Philadelphia and that NYT playoff simulator gave them just 19% odds of even making the post season. The division was out of reach, unless Miami did stupid things like losing to the Titans at home (which they did). Even at that, it took a Kadarius Toney toe and a punt return for a TD in week 18 in Miami to win the division. In 2021, the Bills were in a tailspin with blowout losses to Indianapolis at home, the wind game, and that damn Jags game. They were 7-6 after losing in Tampa, and had to win out to win the division. The Pats led the division until we beat them in week 16 (the day after Christman on Thursday Night Football, the Diggs taunting the crowd game). 

 

What a wonderful trip down memory lane. 

 

Of course, nowhere did I say EVERY year. Yes, two seasons were tougher. As this season appears to be shaping up to be as well. Which is why I said BASICALLY every year...and not something more definitive such as LITERALLY every year. Speaking in basic reference, the Bills have had it easy in the division. Josh Allen's 32-13 record against AFCE teams can attest to that. But yes, there were 2 blip years where they had it more difficult.
