He's looked good pretty much anytime I see him on the field. If it's injuries holding him back, it's one thing, but this guy is an absolute beast in the middle and they NEVER play him.

Harrison Phillips has been the highest-rated member of the Buffalo Bills defensive line this season — and doing it all while nursing a significant injury.

The team revealed on Monday that Phillips tore the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the preseason, and since then has been playing his way back to full health. Despite the ailment, Phillips has been able to turn in some strong performances and helped to anchor one of the league’s top defenses.

Anton Chigurh : What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?

Gas Station Proprietor : Sir?

Anton Chigurh : The most. You ever lost. On a coin toss.

Gas Station Proprietor : I don't know. I couldn't say.

[Chigurh flips a quarter from the change on the counter and covers it with his hand]

Anton Chigurh : Call it.

Gas Station Proprietor : Call it?

Anton Chigurh : Yes.

Gas Station Proprietor : For what?

Anton Chigurh : Just call it.

Gas Station Proprietor : Well, we need to know what we're calling it for here.

Anton Chigurh : You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.

Gas Station Proprietor : I didn't put nothin' up.

Anton Chigurh : Yes, you did. You've been putting it up your whole life, you just didn't know it. You know what date is on this coin?

Gas Station Proprietor : No.

Anton Chigurh : 1958. It's been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it.

Gas Station Proprietor : Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

Anton Chigurh : Everything.

Gas Station Proprietor : How's that?

Anton Chigurh : You stand to win everything. Call it.

Gas Station Proprietor : Alright. Heads then.

[Chigurh removes his hand, revealing the coin is indeed heads]

Anton Chigurh : Well done.

[the gas station proprietor nervously takes the quarter with the small pile of change he's apparently won while Chigurh starts out]

Anton Chigurh : Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.

Gas Station Proprietor : Where do you want me to put it?

Anton Chigurh : Anywhere not in your pocket. Where it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. Which it is.

The defense was fine last night. Our offense couldn’t figure out that it could throw the ball and move it until half way through the 4th quarter

I think the worst part about last night's loss is it give Pegulaville 1 game to use as an example to keep pushing his wildly outdated argument of run and stop the run to win football games.

He probably jacked off 15 times already over it.

No, I personally don't believe he is. Like I said, 4-12 coaches get fired, not coaches who have them in the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years.

They've got holes. That's on the GM.

Just saying, Fox won 4 straight AFC West Championships and had a SB appearance and was fired after losing in the divisional round.

There is precedence

Patriots simply out-coached them.

New England dominated on the ground and simply made one more FG and didn’t stupidly kick an extra point like we did.

McDermott got manhandled

“Luke Hughes is better”

- sbroads24


Luke Hughes is almost a full year younger than Power, and his PPG is nearly double Power’s freshman season.

Big concern for both is neither of them can defend their shadows at the moment

Couldn't disagree more.
Yes, the Offense absolutely sucked, no doubt.
Same with the D, got runover like a freight train when 72,150 people knew they were going to run all night long. The D stopped several runs for losses and short gains, then gave up longer runs. The Bills need to stop them more with 3 & outs.

I mentioned during the game that the Bills run tackling is friggin' horrible...very few square-up and wrap-up the runner. Rather they try to deliver glancing blows with their shoulders leading the way...I guess to try to deliver a harder hit or cause a turnover. in any event, I'm not impressed with the tackling ability at all for the last 2 - 3 years.

We held the patriots to 14 points while being in the field a majority of the game ….. the offense was stalled for 80% of the game until it was too late

Insert breida brutal fumble
Knox drops

I blame the offense for that game. 1000%

Didn't do any backreading so I apologize if this has been brought up already, but that missed Tyler Bass FG earlier really hurt them at the end. Yes, I realize it was into the wind, but damn, we coulda had a chance to win it by FG at the end instead of having to come up with 6. Of course, the opinion of this fair-weather fan means jack sh!t, but there ya go.

I told my fiancé he was going to miss the kick before it happened.

I thought the Bills were going to go for it forsure.

They had 4 3 and outs + another 2 that were 5 or less plays (not counting the game ending sequence). They allowed 2 sustained drives and 1 long run. Maybe not a great night, but solid work.
