Buffalo Bills 2025 Thread

[That Aud Smell]

what an absolute delight that game turned out to be. a lovely capping off of the long holiday weekend.

beat the bengals!

Nice road win in windy weather.   They did what they had to do.   
 

Next up - The Bungles need a smack down.  
 

When will this Bills team get healthy?

They need to physically beat the ***** out of anyone who touches Allen like that. Rip the helmet off and beat him with it. I don’t care what kind of penalty or who does it. Embarrassing. All of Buffalo sports are so ***** soft. 

I guess all of sports are so soft because I don't think ANY team would ever do this.

Why the holy hell is James Cook still in this game? Especially as chippy as it’s been.

According to freejame the team is soft. So perhaps they are trying to show that they won't back down by keeping him in?  Not sure. 😉

It's a win.  I wouldn't feel too good about it. Pittsburgh's offensive play calling was quite questionable and I think it played into making the Bills defense look better than it is.

If there's one truth (cliche) that I fully embrace about the NFL, it's that every win is worth enjoying because it is fu**ing hard to win in that league. Hard as hell.

Go Bills!

Aaron Rogers will be a first ballot HOF member, maybe even a unanimous selection. I’m aware he is afflicted with injuries but it is evident that at this stage he’s a shell of a player that he once was. I’m sure this will be his last year. 

Next year is Rodgers' year.

Myles Garret would…just kidding. Kind of. Tempers were high. Nobody should be allowed to revisit comments made during game play.

Attempted murder only draws a 15 yard penalty, right?

Is it the play calling that is questionable or the decision to play a QB who essentially has a cast on his hand? I’m not sure what they’re supposed to do with that kind of limitation.

Im glad the Bills won but how many teams can you beat by running the same 2 plays for an entire half?

doesn't much matter.

they can't and won't beat another opponent the way they beat the steelers. 

it's a week to week league. (another NFL cliche that is an absolute truth bomb.)

Playing one handed Rogers, a guy who already cannot run, was certainly helping the Bills defense. 

Pittsburgh's backup was pretty terrible too and they pulled him after the interception that he tossed to Benford.   Given the weather and the situation they didn't give the backup much of a chance.  

Joe Burrow will be much harder to play against.  The Bengals game will tell us a lot about this team.

I don’t see him playing another year. TBD.

Nope.  When the Crows won last week and the Stealers lost, they flipped spots in their division.  The Crows were 2-0 in division and the Stealers were 2-1.  Crows must have a better common opponent record as they're only 4-4 in conference but the Stealers are 5-3 in conference.

Their 2 h-t-h games will likely be the deciding factor as they still haven't played one another yet.

All correct @Taro T. Had to go back and look. The Ravens were in the top spot heading into this (past) week's games. When I saw PIT in 1st and BAL ITH it was after BAL had already lost but PIT had not yet been demolished by the Bills. So both losing resulted in no change in the standings. I can get this out of my turkey-filled brain now. 😀

... As I now see @Doohickie also explained.

Kincaid should be back this week and that should really help our offense. As for the defense the only thing they need to do is get 1 turnover from the Bengals. With how bad the defense is the Bills should feast as long as we have playoff Josh going with this run game.

Finally someone who abbreviates Pittsburgh correctly.  Tired of the Pitt references.  That’s a college football team.

What happened this week with Baltimore only scoring 14 on that defense?

[inkman]

I don’t care what Shittsbugh’s record is, they are ass. No idea how they’ve beaten anyone quite frankly.  Just not a good team.  Browns, Jets, Panthers and Flacco let Bengals account for most of their wins. Not exactly murderers row.

Well, he got roasted for saying how hard it is to win in the NFL but he was a better coach than given credit for and he didn’t have much to work with during his tenure here, especially at QB. My biggest gripe with him was the Maybin pick, which he pounded the table for at the time despite reservations of others in the scouting department and front office. But an off the charts pro day by Maybin at Penn State made Jauron blind to anyone else.

i was unaware of this. i have so few memories of him. maybe essentially none?

i picked up on this trope (truism) from mcdermott. dude says it all the time, and has been saying it for years.

Well they beat Carolina already this year doing the same thing.  Brady forces teams to stop a play before he stops calling it.  If they don't stop it, he just keeps calling it.

I dont care about Baltimore and game within the division. The Bengals have a horrible defense.

Huh?  The dude would punt from the other teams 35 if he had the chance. He coached not to lose rather than to win most games.
