his 744 yards passing are 28th in the league while his 188 yards/gm rank 29th...he's managing the game and has started to make some plays at crucial times...

which are good things

It's a catch 22. If it doesn't work and we lose because we were only up by 3 instead of 6, he's going to receive all sorts of criticism for not just taking the 3 points.

Only by people who don't pay attention to win probabilities.

I personally thought it was an absolute no brainer.

He’s not allowed to

If this is true, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

He said in the presser last week, his option to run is before his option to throw it to his 3rd receiver, which I thought was kind of silly that his "option to run" is even a part of his progression.

Either you have a lane or you don't.

Just a quick question about the gun shooting ..

How did that guy possibly get all those guns without anybody realizing checking him in ? I’m wondering if they install metal detectors now

So, you mean like 99% of the fans in Buffalo.

Very few people actually know/pay attention to that stuff. You're one of the few.

I'm an avid sports fan, and I don't pay attention to that stuff. How do you expect that the majority of the more casual sports fans in Buffalo would actually take that into consideration or know that?

Our win probability went down with that FG.

Even if we are stopped they would have needed 99 yards to take the lead.

Probably suitcases. More than likely, multiple.

Once you check in, for the most part nobody pays that much attention to you. Or at least, that was my experience in Vegas back in June.

The only time I even had to show that I was staying at my hotel was after 11. They had a guard posted right by the elevators and you had to show your room key.

Just like in Civilization IV, when my Swordsman has a 98.6% win probability against my opponent's Warrior and I lose the probability battle, so do the Buffalo Bills. Tried-and-true.

Country music can make people do crazy things.

I ask you this:

What about White on White crime?!?

While I agree, the casual Bills fans criticism are usually misplaced anyway.

I think we were very, very fortunate to win that game, but you have to make the right decisions + get lucky sometimes.

IMO, we were lucky that decision didn't come back to bite us

I am one of the most anti analytics guy out there

But Broads is right

Even taking out the analytic side of it, go for it, if stopped the Falcons would have had to go 99 yards to take the lead pinned at their goal line with the DL getting in the face of Ryan all game long.

She's being questioned but nothing has been said if she was involved or not that has any sort of truth behind it. Rumors at this point

Getting lucky is pretty much what most of sports is about to be honest. Just look at some of the calls. The last two weeks there have been a few that could have gone either way and in the past, would most certainly mostly gone against us. That wasn't the case the last 2 games, which was kind of nice. Think about how many times over the years calls like that going against burned us significantly more often than not.

They've played pretty well this season and they've gotten some good bounces.

I don't think they were lucky

I think they played a good mistake free game on the road and the D played unreal, aside from 3 or 4 runs


special teams was huge

They are one bad route or bad throw from 4-0. I couldn't be happier with this team right now

I think we were, but that's not taking away how close they played the team that just went to the SB.

That was a great road win
