I’m so awful he continues to engage me and continues to give me the time of day while I’m in between stock plays.

I’m having a great time.

If the Bill's D keeps improving, Bill's become a very dangerous team in the AFC.

The victory over the 49ers was very impressive.

Should be fun watching to see how it all plays out the rest of the year.

After all the years of Buffaluck,
Buffalonians deserve a few championships

I think I just stole the last playoff spot in my fantasy league...with an 18 yard garbage time catch by Cooper.

Could end up costing me the playoffs

Thanks Zeke...

They could really put the nation on Notice with another big performance against Pittsburgh.

Yup. The cowboys are a mess. Paying zeke was a huge mistake. He’s washed up already. I get his o line sucks. But he doesn’t have that speed burst he used to have

Steelers had two thousand yard backs with Franco and Rocky

The point your missing

Bradshaw would always connect with the deep ball to swan or stalworth

And always money in the playoffs

- homiedclown

It took Bradshaw like five years or so to really get into a groove. Before that he was meh.

Their first SB was dominated by Harris while the second one was dominated by Swann whose leaping ability and timing on the many jump balls Bradshaw threw up was incredible.

I believe they’ll beat Pittsburgh but then lose to one of DEN/NE.

Then they can rest their starters week 17 because at that point they could have the division wrapped up.

If the Bills win their next two and Miami loses to KC the Bills clinch the division I believe

If the Bill's can get Knox involved in anyway would be huge, especially with Brown coming back in a few weeks, and if Singletary and Moss can rip of a few runs to keep the D honest. It's funny on how well they have played in games, I still think they can get better. This could get really fun.

Depends on the O-line not incurring anymore injuries.
Running some timely screens can help keep the blitzes in check as well.

Everything is going so well. Josh Allen has been great and we are poised to take the AFC East. Being a Bills fan, this is about the time where I expect something stupid/horrible to happen regarding Josh, thus ruining everything (I'm not going to list the horrible, stupid things, but I'm sure you can use your imaginations).

55 years of Buffalo sports has done this to me. Obviously, I don't want anything bad to happen, and I realize i just jinxed it, but I can't keep my stupid mouth shut. I apologize.

Belichick has his Pats rolling with wins in 4 of their last 5 since losing to the Bills. Got the Rams tomorrow.

Singletary isn’t great. He’s not good enough to be a lead back.

Moss is fine for his role.


And I agree the o line isn’t great. But singletary is definitely not good enough

Or, did the Bill's Offense take the running game away from Pitt, forcing them to become more of a passing team than they wanted.
Bill's D did tighten up as well after Q1.
Butler nearly killed one of their RBs

- IonSabres


Yes, that happened
But before that- the DEFENSE wasn’t stopping the run. We weren’t horrible, but 5.5yds per carry just isn’t good enough imo to be put at ease going forward. There were still BIG holes on early downs

And i don’t have confidence we’ll get big leads against playoff teams to take away their running game-
at least not against the upper echelon teams that we’ll eventually have to get past


Let’s see what this next game against PIT holds
If it looks like the SF game, you’ll see my confidence rise quite a bit
If not,
my worries will be justified and my doubts validated

I agree, and I will take 70 to 100yrds a game running the ball, not great, but still there enough to keep the D thinking. The better the Defense plays the more the Offense the ball, still don't think we have seen the Bill's best game yet.

Tough year to measure him with. The interior of the line has been shuffled around D quite a bit. If Boettinger can give them serviceable play at LG to allow Fleciano to play RG with Morse staying healthy at C, that will go a long way towards enabling the RBs to hit the line untouched rather than the 2 yards behind the LOS they have been.

I’d be interested to see exactly where our RBs rank in terms of where 1st contact occurs

The problem is that they're both essentially change of pace backs. Their speed running back is, for all intents and purposes, Isaiah McKenzie. His sweeps are categorized as passes but they're essentially outside runs. The Bills need a speed back. Singletary barely had the speed to get to the outside on 4th and 2

The running game struggles are a catch-22. While it isn't great by any means, it's also abandoned very early more often than not because the passing game is so good this year. It's hard to "establish the run" if you abandon it every time you don't get a gain of more than 2 yards.
