Baker fumbled the game away. 👍

Redraft would be ::

allen #1
lamar #1b
baker not #1

Assuming the Bills win tomorrow, next sunday will be fascinating. Do the Steelers try to lock up the 2 seed and KO the Browns' playoffs hopes, or rest their guys, let the Browns in and let the Bills get the 2

do the bills keep their foot on the gas if they win tomorrow and try to knock miami out next weekend, or go through the motions on week 17

I think Allen might play the first series or the first quarter but I can't imagine him playing the whole game. I'd like to see Fromm play instead of Barkley but it'll probably be Barkley or even Webb

Are you concerned about letting the dolphins win and get in? Then have to play them again at home in the 1st playoff game?

I'm still hoping we avoid Baltimore. Lamar can do what Watson did last year. Win it himself 🤔

No. My list of preferred teams (preferred to least preferred) would be

Colts
Dolphins
Browns
Titans
Ravens

Regardless, if you wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best. They'll have to play some good teams if they're going to win the Superbowl. That's my John Maddenism for the day.

I have to keep reminding myself Aaron Donald is a DT.

Oh my, is he a bad man.

Went to a Sabres game in chicago about 20+ years ago.

Waiting in the nachco line and rick flair comes out of the box_ suite area. My (actual) cousin spots him and let out a couple (woo's). Rick stopped and took a couple pictures with us. Super down to earth guy.

Pretty much the exact opposite of Samson come to think about it. 😐

Solid list above as well crags 👍

What makes me nervous about Baltimore is that they were 14-2 last year and are starting to play like that team from last year

We’d murder the Phins, Colts or Browns

There's just no way to tell who we're going to face right now. If Dolphins, Browns, Titans, Colts all lose next week that'd be swell. Anyone but Baltimore in rd. 1 please.

Mike Hoffman signed a PTO with St. Louis. Looks like they are waiting to sign him, to maximize LTIR.

Yes, the receiver's were not a whole unit.

Baker didnt make them better either.

Strange that brown had his best season ever with josh last year, Beasley and diggs having their best seasons.
4th round pick gabe Davis 6 tds.

The clutchness isnt near ja17's.

- Boss34


Bossman, too much of a homer here, good lord, lol!

Would you expect for Josh to have an average or below average game without:
-Diggs
-Brown
-Beasley
-Davis

Let's pull out
-McKenzie
-Andre Roberts
-Duke William's
-And 1 other scrub
to start and end a game as their only WR's!

I so wonder if that would impact Josh's production.

Smart teams find ways to make fitting in good players work. Will the Sabres ever be one of those smart teams?

STL has Steen/Tarasenko going on LTIR...I can see this being smart cap gymnastics.

Allen is gonna be mvp uncle ion

only difference is I bring that up once a year where you bring it up a million times a year
and trying to get some strange in the ATL is pretty bad when your son is dying back home


of course unlike my sister, skunk blew you off completely


but next week you will lie again and say you will try to change


I mean the skunk did score 6 more goals then taylor hall last season, so props for him to take a little less cheddar to bring hall here to win a cup


I will wait for your next 20 boring non hockey takes on a young guy that blew you off

Good deflection Boss!
I too enjoy watching Allen, far more superior to than that which I thought he would be...and dare say I far more superior than anyone actually thought he would be...they were merely hoping he would play this well... just like they did for Collins, Van Pelt, Flutie, Johnson, Losman, Edwards, Manuel and many more between (e.g. Tuel, Lewis, Orton, Taylor, Peterman).
In any event, Josh has proven what virtually nobody really expected...hoped for, yes, was convinced...ahhh NO.
So, I am rooting for the kid to have unrivaled success in Buffalo!

Now, back to the question. Do you think Diggs, Beasley, Brown and Davis make him even an iota better? Yes, of course they do...one would be nuts to even try that defense. Same for Mayfield...having his top 5, not 4 WR out. I would think he would suffer a bit lower production.

Anyway....
Go Josh!
Go Bills!!

You can't take a joke, then you deflect everything in anger.

Typical SAMA tears.

The @TBLightning trade Braydon Coburn, Cedric Paquette and a second-round draft pick in 2022 to @Senators for Marian Gaborik (LTIR player) and Anders Nilsson.

Of course all those guys make allen better. Absolutely.
Diggs is unquestionably a top 5 nfl wr.

It goes both ways. Teammates make each other.

Every single Bills receiver has had their best season with allen. A 2 year starter. Supposedly 1 good year guy?

They have played probably 20 years combined. Diggs, beasley, brown? It's a guess.

I'm just thinking of Allen fumbling vs. Dallas on national tv Thanksgiving game, scooping and making sure he got the first down.

Baker fumbled 3 times , he could have had jerry rice and randy moss on the last play and lost the game like a chump for his teammates.

Against the jets. Seriously. The jets.
