Five more wins needed.

Two games left against Miami, one left with the Jets.

That leaves two more.

Washington is one.

Denver can be another.

Pittsburgh is winnable.

Baltimore is winnable.

This is crazy.

Tough, gritty road win for the Bills. What a weekend for Amerks/Sabres and Bills fans.

I still cant believe the titans tried to kick a 53 yarder instead of going for it on 4th and 4 down a touchdown

Thanks for the win, mike vrabel

I love watching Doug Moron lose games!
He still has a chance down 7 with 3:20 left...friggin Car kicker misses a PAT
Tough week for kickers

The NFL did the right thing by moving the extra point back.

It makes games way more exciting at the end.

Panthers vs. Jaguars has been a good one.

Now if only they could fix the kickoff. It would be easy:

Kick from the 20 yard-line again but don't let the kicking team run downfield until the ball is caught by the kick returner. Instantly one of the most exciting plays in football again.

They did what they did to virtually eliminate the return, since it was deemed the most dangerous play with respect to player safety.
Doubt they change it.

I wish they showed another replay angle of that PAT because I'm pretty sure he didn't actually miss it.

Seeing this team put it away like this at the end of a game, is something I have not seen from a Buffalo Bills team in about 25 years. And I was around 9 years old.
- BeadyEyedDouche



We are roughly the same age.

I like the make up of the team.

I would like easier wins, but I'll still take a win however it comes.

Allen is still bad ..... I don’t get why people don’t see it. He’s been like this all year
- Sabretooth9


He needs to be more consistent, undoubtedly, but did the first half today not take place?

Vrabel opting to kick a 53 yard field goal on 4th and 4, with 6 mins left, with his team down by 7 and kicker 0-3 on the day

Nice touch by McDermott having Duke Williams out on the final kneel down. Josh Allen handed Duke the ball after the final kneel down

The team is cohesive.

It's good to see that they are all in it together.

It's not that one side of the ball needs to do a better job, but that they all take responsibility for the negatives and move forward together.

Maybe he has some trade value?

Would he have more trade value than Bogo/Scandella, is the question.

Bogo has negative trade value, so I'll say yes

I assume it would be very similar value. Only thing he has to his name is he has the most receptions in NCAA history and was a 2nd round pick. Hasn't proven poop and looks to have been leapt over by a former CFL star.

Zay might fetch a 4th rounder at best if we're lucky

just release him

Alex Van Pelt broke every single one of Dan Marino's records at Pitt.

You simply cannot judge a college player by his stats. The combine is there for a reason. You're looking for athleticism, talent, physique...

Tape can only show you so much, imo.

Dallas and Philly are absolutely winnable too.

Our defense is elite.

Our offense moves the ball very well, and will have Singletary back.

Yup, I don't fault them on the pick. When they drafted him you had checkdown Taylor and the more guys you could have ensuring you were catching balls made sense. Hasn't worked out as planned. Too many drops.

The great thing about these threads is that some of you are quite smart and I learn stuff from you. And a lot of you are also very funny and make me lol. The price of enjoying the content of these two groups is sifting through the excruciating stupidity of the dumbest mother(frank)ers alive.
