Both games felt like that too me, then the injuries made the first game extra stupid to watch.

Totally agree. Its hockey season.

Everyone stands the entire game in my section. The injuries and time outs get worse every year.

The damar injury definitely lessened my enjoyment moving forward

The bills were a top 5 rushing attack in the regular season.

Why they didn’t establish the run more last week is anyone’s guess.

It's really not. The majority of that rush came from their quarterback. You can't do that in the playoffs and never could.

A great defense vs backup/rookie QBs and a lousy defense vs very good to great QBs. Our Coaches coach scared or shrink under pressure and make huge mistakes (13 seconds)

We needed Ed Oliver to be Chris Jones last week

You mean the guy who completed 40% of his passes for 220 yards, threw two awful picks, got sacked 4 times, and had a rating of 44.7? THAT Skylar Thompson?

It was close because of 3 fluky plays: the defensive TD by the Dolphins, a wrong route by Brown, and a bad bounce off of Beasley, that's it. It was utter domination by the Bills.

Let's be honest, they didn't see it coming either. Just spending the Bishop money over the summer could have given them a big boost.

What are their options? I remember Empire, but that collapsed a long time ago.
- Lunaion


I am once again asking for an a la carte option to watch the Sabres without paying for cable.


I would gladly pay $100 a season for such an option

So the Bills dominate the Dolphins with their third string QB winning by 3 points and that’s impressive, yet the Eagles win by 31 points and dominate the Giants but it’s “Daniel Jones and a bunch of nobodies”

Interesting

Maybe it's my nature, but Its really easy to like what's going on. It's very easy to give management the benefit of the doubt. Bishop was a $ move.

Everything is falling into place.

We were all worried about tage repeating
