They should be on a 4 game losing streak we was robbed

Patricia isn't the DC he is just calling the plays and its the same scheme just adding another layer of confusion....for the Eagles defence

That team is imploding at just the right time

Funny how that loss before the bye galvanized the Bills and the win that wasn't deserved tore the Eagles apart.

Those might be the worst opponents to face....they have nothing to lose and everything to gain so they play loose.

Bills got some bad news and some good news Monday/Tuesday

Jordan Phillips had surgery Monday on his wrist(most likely a dislocation) and is listed as week to week.

And the good news is the Bills opened Daquan Jones 21 day practice window.

He could possibly play this week

I don’t know if any of you watch the in season hard knocks with the dolphins. New episode dropped last night. Mike McDaniel envisioned and believed a one play td drive was going to happen right before the one play td drive. The 60yd td to Waddle. The man is a legend in Miami already.

Nick Bosa was right, they perfectly laid out how to stop the offense. 17 pts against the Seahawks is unacceptable. Giving up 20 pts to Drew lock is also unacceptable and so is not forcing a single turnover versus a back up qb. I also want all the old guys in the secondary gone. They make “business decisions “ when tackling. James Bradberry aged in dog years between 2022 and 2023. Slay shouldn’t be a captain after throwing his teammates under the bus the week before and the safety we got from Tennessee is the worst tackling safety I’ve ever seen.

That’s a bit extreme. I believe every team has lost to a subpar team/qb this season and someone will win the SB. 3 games left and just enough time for teams to get hot.

I get what you’re saying and I THOUGHT the Eagles would start to get hot against the Seahawks but they didn’t. Teams that go to the Super Bowl beat up on bad teams. The largest margin of victory this season for the Eagles was 14 points. And surprisingly it came against a great Miami team but I remember watching that game Miami shot themselves in the foot too many times so I chaulk that one up to the other team playing bad versus the Eagles playing well (for the defense that it as the offense actually did play well).

This team just hasn’t been the same since the 49ers punched them in the mouth. While I had the game @ Dallas as a loss going into the season because when there’s two good teams in the same division they almost always split. The way they came out for that game and the way they lost really made me start to believe this team just doesn’t have what it takes. The Seahawks game confirmed it.

Also I agree that great teams always have one let down throughout the year and the Eagles already “wasted” their letdown against the Jets. I truly believe their offense has been figured out. They’ve scored, 19, 6 and 17 the last 3 weeks. The Seahawks do not have a great defense. Also the Eagles are the worst defense on 3rd down and have been all season. Really confused by this because the D line has a bunch of pass rushers. That stat will keep them from winning in the playoffs even if the offense gets back on track. Jalen hurts I also believe leads the league in turnovers. He is turning into Carson wentz and playing hero ball. This absolutely pains me because I am a huge Jalen Hurts fan. Hoping they get a new offensive coordinator that fixes this before it’s too late.

That's pretty much been the story of the season. I don't think we've had a game where we didn't play without or lose one or more starters during. I still believe at 100% healthy we have the best roster in the league, but we aren't going to see that this season, so we have to hope that our back-ups keep playing at the level they have for the past 3 games.

Saturday evening the Bills could be featuring the oldest backfield in the NFL.

James Cook has not practiced all week due to illness and Ty Johnson banged up his shoulder Sunday and did not return to the game and has had Limited Practice status this week.

Enter the Practice Squads Leonard Fournette wearing #5...will he be active?

Will 33 year old and 10 year vet Latavius Murray be the bell cow back?

These questions and many more will be answered at 6:30 pm Saturday when the active/inactive list comes out.

They played in one of the oldest and crappiest stadiums in the league while in SD.

SD didn't want to build a new stadium so the billionaire took his toys somewhere else.

It happens in every NFL city if that city doesn't knuckle under to the 32 billionaires and build a new playpen.

Baltimore,Cleveland,Houston,Oakland,St Louis,Los Angeles are the more recent ones.

Did you know the Dallas Texans became the KC Chiefs? it was way back in 1963 .

BTW Mr Ralph Wilson through his protégé Russ Brandon put a poison pill in the new lease that was signed just a year before Ralph died.

It basically kept the Bills in Buffalo until the 2022-2023 season the new owner would need to pay the City of Buffalo $500m plus the NFL's fine/relocation fee of $450m would be almost $1B on top of the purchase price plus the stadium lease fees to be paid to Erie County.

Ralphie loved Buffalo and his trust has set aside $1B of the $1.4B that the Pegula's paid that goes to Local charities in the form of an annuity every year.

I still think NOT having a retractable roof for Buffalos new stadium was a mistake.
