If there is a game to miss it is a non-conference one. If the Bills end up going to KC again in the playoffs I think I might puke
It was pretty ridiculous. Jeremy White talking about taking the Vikings moneyline this week. Tim Graham randomly tweeting his old article from months ago about Case Keenum.I'm a big fan of local journalists and aspiring wannabes (Cover 1) posting innuendo and memes instead of just telling us what they're hearing. That's how the professionals do it. Gotta get that engagement.
I posted the same thing in the Josh Allen thread, but there are some vague yet worrying rumors swirling on Bills Twitter (and not some randos - some bigger names who would viably have connections) that Allen is going to be out, presumably due to injury.
I have to think it is coaching. This is now two years in a row that the team has looked lethargic for weeks after beating the Chiefs. They act like that is their Super Bowl. They need a head coach who can find a way to keep them motivated.Petition to skip all late Oct and Nov games? Two years in a row they gave squandered first place in the conference.
I think there’s some rule that the refs could actually call an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Not sure what the end result would be though. Maybe could lead to an ejection of the QB?Where is the logical flaw here…
When the Bills has the ball on their own 1 yard line (the play the Vikings scored on the fumble)…if you’re the Bills why not just run hard counts and take infinite delay of game penalties? Because EVENTUALLY the Vikings would jump, right?
I would tell my center NEVER EVER snap the ball.
Wilson?Remind me again why they traded for Hines instead of someone like Wilson?
Wilson would have churned out the same number of yards not carrying the ball as Hines. Out of Buffalo’s last 29 offensive plays, they only called runs three times (once was the botched handoff/fumble). Last week, out of their last 24 plays they ran it 3 times (one was an end around to McKenzie).Remind me again why they traded for Hines instead of someone like Wilson?
JeffWilson?
So you want them to trade for someone to compete with Duke Johnson?JeffWilson?
I wanted them to trade for someone that will actually help them. I'm not the biggest Wilson fan but not nearly as certain that he isn't an upgrade over Singletary, especially as a power runner, which they desperately need IMO.So you want them to trade for someone to compete with Duke Johnson?JeffWilson?
I say that somewhat jokingly, but Jeff Wilson is certainly not an upgrade over Singletary, and hopefully Cook/Hines eventually work their way into a more contributory role.
New normal until they get healthy. Too many injuries right now.Bills DST owner in yards and pts allowed scoring
ppg has been way down since the bye for this unit do Bills fans see this as a prolonged blip or the new normal?
What's really infuriating is if you expand your mind a little and think about all the other plays that would have changed the outcome if just one had gone differently. Like if Diggs catches that pass on the sideline during the Bills next-to-last possession in the 4th quarter. Or if Jordan Phillips doesn't jump offsides on the first attempt at fourth-and-goal. Or if the Vikings make that PAT instead of missing it (work it out -- we probably kick the GW FG at the end of regulation).Week 10 summary:
What a turd of a loss. The game was in hand. It slipped away on the decision to go for it on 4th down instead of a gimme FG, or the fumble in the endzone.
Bottom line, it seems like this team isn't going to be able to win games with so many defensive starters out, like they did earlier in the season. They need to get a few more of those guys back or this is just a modestly-above-average team. (Oh, and Josh needs to get back to 2020/2021 form.)
It seems like we have more "weather" games involving the Browns than all other teams combined. I guess that's not a coincidence given the great lakes and the fact that both franchises built their stadiums on Indian burial grounds.I know many of our Bills fans in here don't live in Buffalo, so in case you're unaware, they're calling for a potentially historic snowstorm through this weekend. The lake-effect snow warning starts tomorrow night at 7 PM until Sunday at 1 PM. They're calling for 2 - 6 feet of snow. I'm assuming the game will still be played in Orchard Park, but I suppose they could move it like the Snowvember game back in 2014.
Just what the Bills need right now while they're reeling......
I actually think it might be just what they need, they may have no choice but to run the ball a lot more than they normally would.I know many of our Bills fans in here don't live in Buffalo, so in case you're unaware, they're calling for a potentially historic snowstorm through this weekend.

I totally get where you’re coming from, but a game where you have to run the ball when you’ve been terrible running the ball and can’t stop the power run game going up against a team that may be the best with the power run game, seems suboptimal.I actually think it might be just what they need, they may have no choice but to run the ball a lot more than they normally would.I know many of our Bills fans in here don't live in Buffalo, so in case you're unaware, they're calling for a potentially historic snowstorm through this weekend.

My buddy and I went to that game and it was a blast.

I wouldn't say they've been terrible at running the ball when they've actually done it- obviously they aren't nearly as good as Cleveland, although the Bills' run D is better than theirs so it balances out some.I totally get where you’re coming from, but a game where you have to run the ball when you’ve been terrible running the ball and can’t stop the power run game going up against a team that may be the best with the power run game, seems suboptimal.I actually think it might be just what they need, they may have no choice but to run the ball a lot more than they normally would.I know many of our Bills fans in here don't live in Buffalo, so in case you're unaware, they're calling for a potentially historic snowstorm through this weekend.

Should be able to get in the queue now on ticketmaster (through bills website).Has anyone heard anything about how original ticket holders can get tickets for Detroit?
They are supposed to be available in about an hour, but I can't find any info.
Section 138, row 30.
I was waiting until 2:00. I flipped over to my Ticketmaster tab at like 1:58 and saw there was already a queue started. I joined immediately and was at a status of "2000+" people ahead of you.
Kinda pissed me off. I thought 2:00 was 2:00, not 1:50 or whenever they opened the gates.
Anyway, still got 'ok' seats, so I can take my one football obsessed son to his first "real" game.
BTW, tickets are $10-$30. I got two of the $30 variety for $75 after fees.

I hate the "ticket" industry. Tons of tickets are already going up on the secondary market for $200 to as high as $888.
The cat is clearly out of the bag on how to get into the pre-sale. Anyone who really wants to buy tickets and go to the game, feel free to DM me.
Agreed.This Tre White situation is starting to become weird/concerning. From all reports he’s been 100% cleared by doctors and has looked great in practice. Comments from the team have been very coy/careful as to why he isn’t playing yet. Really seems like it’s just a mental block/being scared of re-injury on White’s part right now. They really need him back and the team suddenly finds themselves at a bit of a crossroads, so it sucks that he isn’t available yet. I would think that it’s not happening for Thanksgiving either.
Yeah, there’s been surprisingly little discussion of it. I know there were some questions asked by reporters, but there just hasn’t been that much scrutiny on the Bills/White about this. It was all well and good when they were winning, but the secondary has struggled and injuries have mounted. The team needs their well paid #1 CB to be out there.Also, I'm getting a little sick of seemingly every beat reporter and every Cover 1 guy carrying water for the team on this issue.
I find Buff easy to root for but they are horrible in close games. They aren't going make a SB blowing teams out. If they don't learn to handle the pressure of close games, they're not going to win a champioship.
Hyde has an appointment early December. 23 in 2023 everyone assumed out for year. Neck is healing. Friends with a family member they aren’t ruling out mid to late Jan if need be but probably not. Fingers crossed. If this team goes to a SB somehow let him fair catch a few punts. He’s earned thatHmmm, McDermott did not rule White out for this week. Would be interesting/great if he plays.
And Joe Buscaglia is reporting that Hyde is leaving the door open to returning this season. Said he has actually be on the side doing work with other inactive/rehabbing players at practices recently. That would be incredible. Reminds me a bit of Rod Woodson tearing his ACL and coming back and playing in the Super Bowl.
