The Bills gutted out a win held Henry to 85 yards or so and forced 3 turn overs.

But the win wasn't pretty enough for some fans....man some people are messed up.

Lets air it out and risk sacks fumbles and int's.

The game plan was simple DO NOT turn the ball over and capitalize on your chances to score.

Mission accomplished.

You want pretty go look at a Victoria's Secret catalogue

They don't hand out style points at the end of the game

Farmer you must have been on the edge of your seat during that last drive.

The thing I don't understand is repeatedly throwing sideline outs on that last drive which were incompletions.

The previous drive was 80% over the middle stuff.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Huck the ball over the middle run up and spike it.

Thankfully for the Eagles Mr Barkley saved the day.

Washuington vs Philly round three should be epic.

The previous drive the Eagles played the preventiest prevent defense you could possibly play. They went back to their regular defense on the last drive after letting the rams score WAYYYY too fast. The false start saved the Eagles. The line was gassed and that gave them a breather. Jalen Carter (arguably the best player on the fieldeven when including Saquon) saved the day with the 3rd down sack and 4th down pressure. He also forced the fumble after the safety.

So when I said if Buffalo could get the Ravens to punt three times we'd have a chance, I meant they needed to turn the ball over three times. That worked.

Huge Championship weekend coming. I just hope the refs don't eff it up.

They let them play yesterday only 2 significant flags and neither one should have been thrown.

The phantom hold on Dawkins end the drive

The PI call White kept the drive alive so as far as I am concerned its a wash

The 3 turnovers were well beyond my wildest dreams

This team reminds me of the '06 Colts. It took Peyton and Dungy 5 seasons to finally get past the Patriots and Steelers and win a Championship. That season Manning didn't have the biggest numbers, only 31 TD's, but he only threw 9 picks and they only turned the ball over 19 times as a team, versus 26 takeaways. They were more focused on execution than putting up big numbers like years past. That is what I see with this Bills team, in Josh's eyes. That gives me much hope that this is finally the year.

People keep forgetting that #1 was already in a Superbowl, and had a stellar game. But playing against the other team and refs makes it a bit more difficult to get the W.

Hurts and the Eagles came up just short in Super Bowl 57. The star quarterback ended the contest with 304 passing yards and 1 touchdown, plus 70 rushing yards, 2 TDs and a two-point conversion.

He needs to clean up a couple things. He took 3 sacks that were very detrimental to the team yesterday. Two sacks around the Rams 30 which pushed them out of scoring range and of course the safety. On the safety he had a WIDE OPEN receiver in the middle of the field right by the LOS and he was open before the DT came barreling down on him. It was truly an inexcusable safety by a 5th year QB.

Not sure what his issue is but he seems shy to let it loose when it’s there. It’s almost like he has to see the receiver wide open first before actually throwing it and I’m not sure we can win a Super Bowl like that. Especially against Spags’ defense (assuming we beat the commanders which is a big IF at the moment).

Other than those 3 plays I thought he played really well. Much better than the packers game. Of course AJ had a few drops. If he catches that pass down the sideline that negates one of the 3 sacks I mentioned as one of them was after that pass.

I only meant you do not hear anyone talking about it. Yet he was there and knows the atmosphere

On that, I think a lot of the O problems comes down to 3 things...

1. Hurts (while a way better QB than me, by a tiny bit) does not seem to look around fast enough, and rarely goes back to first read - and I think that is because #2

2. They seem to ALWAYS want a 50 yard BOMB! Every damn play. AJ is probably the best post in and out rout BUT NOOOOO 50 yard BOMB! Cannot blame AJ too much those are the get crunched plays. Then use the big guy or a TE!!! For 5 6 or so yards and make 2nd and 3rd more manageable.

3. Elliot has the EAGLES O in a tough spot, he is not clutch so you have to go for it a lot more than you would want to. To me that missed PA on that first drive took a lot of wind out of the sails, and this goes back to 1 and 2. He missed another and that makes it a 6 point instead of 8 point game and the opposing team gets a different mentality knowing so

Meanwhile JA17 (12 games)continues his assault on the NFL record book climbing into a tie for #2 in playoff rush TD's by a QB with HOF bound Goat TB12 at 7 TD's(48 games)

He now trails HOF QB SY8 (14games) by only one TD.

He also moved into a tie for second on the Bills all time list with legendary RB Kenneth Davis and trails the leader HOF RB Thurman Thomas(16TD's) by 9

Farmer I heard something very interesting yesterday that might explain his hesitancy.

None of the remaining 4 teams has committed a turnover

Be careful with the rock and your chances for survival go up exponentially

It is very tricky for Hurts as you have a player on your roster that is a me first kind of guy...I don't even need to name him but he likes books

The Bills had a guy like that and rather than try to mend the fences one more time they traded him out for brand new materials

Well I couldn't post what I wanted the Patty Melt gif of Mahomee yelling at Andy Reid and turning into a patty melt sandwich coming to Arrowhead soon

So I will leave this interesting tid bit

The Chiefs were middle of road in sacks allowed with an escape artist QB. They were 29th in the league in yards per rush. The Buffalo Bills O Line as a unit is better than the Chiefs, and the Chiefs had 3 lineman named All Pro.

Bet the Bills O line has a really good game

Spence the Immense, Shnow and crew are gonna take this shit personal. They are gonna take this game personal.
