Glad we could pull it out. Should make for a much more cordial atmosphere if Beane and McDermott use local movers

I realized today I have BBFS when a suicide hotline PSA came on the radio, and the only line that registered was a lady saying "I keep getting calls about the Bills"

that's because the WGR "whiner line" sold that number to the suicide hotline 😂

What was that last timeout for? McDermott worried about the fake kneel, 12 pt TD?

I think McD has someone making prop bets for him on how many defensive TO's he will take!

[TheFunPolice]

I'm a huge Gabe Davis fan, so happy he's back!

Allen was awful for a huge chunk of that game 

 

And had 6 TDs

 

I don't know what I just watched but it was fun as hell

 

That's what an NFL offense is supposed to look like. Slants, deep shots, passes to RBs. 

 

Very encouraging for the passing game going forward.

I wouldn’t say awful but frustrating…you don’t score 6 tds being awful but he was frustrating at times.

Very enjoyable win

ARE WE BACK?

Do we still want McBeane fired?? 

 

Lost turnover battle 

Got dominated in TOP 

Cook was extremely limited in rush yards, yet still win by 2 scores 

 

Offense with explosive plays,  finally 

Defense stepped up in crucial moments 

i mean the obvious takeaway from this game is yes, we need a staff that will be able to 2+2 the fact that allen is the way to win

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

Christ.

[stevewin]

Drunk game, but we managed not to pass out - I'll take it

 

Seems like we came out healthy too on short week (tho still have to survive practice, and sleeping, before thurs)

Run D is still atrocious 

[Chaos]

Allen with 6 tds. Mayfield loses. Darnold thowing a pick 6.  It feels like order is being restored to the world.

The defense is abysmal, but there are 3 players I’d like to see on the field full time to give us optimal athleticism: Hairston, Dorian Williams, and Jordan Hancock. I really don’t care what mistakes they make either, the slow vets aren’t getting it done anyway. I’ll be interested to see snap counts for Hairston, Hancock, Williams, and TJ Sanders.

I agree we need more athleticism on the field not wisdom

If you had told me the D allows 32, Josh gets picked twice, Shakir has 1 catch for -3 yards, and Cook is held to 48 yards and a 3 yd avg, I would've guessed we lost this game.

 

Welcome back, Gabe. Nice game Shavers.  Josh puts the cape on again.

Good win...

Baring injuries I don't see how Keon Coleman gets back on the field now...

Shavers can be a legit weapon in this Offense. He and Davis rotating in and out is clearly better for Josh...

 

GO BILLS!!!

Use him for the role that fits him best.  Big target in the red zone.

[Buffalo Ballin]

yes. McD should be fired.

 

Do we think that this current team will reach AFC Title game? Really? With this terrible defense?

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I am not sure what I saw. Just felt like a wild and out of control game. The Moments of greatness carried the day.

It seemed like the Nickel with Taron got gashed and the base run D was better.

We saw a TD pass to a RB.

Ding-ding.

Maybe Brady (and Allen to some degree) will both remember what a great group of pass-catching RBs they have - especially when teams are in base with bigger downhill LBs geared to stop Allen and our RBs from chunk running plays.

They can't hang with them on most any passing route, or at least not for long.

the defense is a problem, nice win but we have major issues 

But who doesn’t? I get that it’s cool to doom gasp and anoint the Pats right now, but the conference is wide open still. People still act as if the Bills are a playoff outlier and not right in the middle of it all 

[gonzo1105]

I look at this schedule and I know the Bills have been inconsistent but the schedule coming up should behoove the Bills to make a run. Texans may not be with Stroud and frankly they aren't that good with him, Rodgers just injured his wrist and they don't score usually anyways, Burrow is set to return but I'm not sure he is going to especially if the Bengals are basically eliminated from playoff contention after today's lose.

Probably the most fun game I've seen since the lions win last year.

 

Just let Josh be Josh. It really shouldn't be this complicated 

 

 

He was looking for something today.
