That was such a satisfying win, perhaps cathartic for the team and fans? I just wanted to enjoy it a bit more so I did some surfing. Here’s some gold I dug up.

Elite level troll by the Bills themselves lol:

These are cool, but Skip Bayless is an ass, and this is the **** that just drives me nuts.

Big deal.

One ass-kicking on the road does not negate the season they have had.

Too many armchair quarterbacks with too much airtime after one stinking game.

It's a long season.

There are too many ups and downs to be jumping on and off bandwagons every. ****ing. Week.

Do they even know how stupid they look?

The national sports media is such a joke. In fact all media in this country has devolved to a 3rd grade level of analysis. These guys are playing jackasses on TV and, in this country, it apparently works. For all of our technology and fancy advancements, i don't know if mankind has ever been dumber than it is right now.

We were never ready for this as a species. The information age is beyond our ability to exist in. Genetically, we are the same ignorant animal that we were 10,000 years ago when most people didn't even know how to farm crops or raise cattle. And yet we walk around with supercomputers in our pocket and access to instant information beamed from god knows who that is delivered from the other side of the planet.

What could go wrong?

I’m no Skip Bayless fan either but to play devil’s advocate:

The criticisms of the Cowboys were that they can’t beat good teams. They can’t win on the road. Their D is undersized. They can’t win outdoors.

This was a chance for them to prove the doubters wrong. Instead, they proved them right.

OP, you're missing the point.

The point is that they had no doubters.

Then they play one crappy game, and all of the sudden they're persona non grata.

Bullfeathers.

Watch them wax Miami next week.

When you hear commentators using the phase "we are...." in describing one team (in this case Dallas) you know it;s best to ignore their non-objective cheer-leading. Michael Irvin is the worst of the worst.

He is one of the reason why I avoid watching NFL Network's "NFL GameDay Morning". This Sunday, he was so over-the-top gushing about Dallas and how the Bills are not a good team (much like the crap in this video), the other members of the panel, Rich Eisen, Steve Maricucci and Kurt Warner are all rolling their eyes in the 'here Irvin fgoes agons, kissing Dallas' ass)

The fact is that many of the credible national sports media had the Bills beating Dall in their predictions.

The Athletic (https://theathletic.com/5130997/2023/12/17/cowboys-vs-bills-line-odds-predictions/) had 8 of 12 analysts picking Buffalo....

Sport Illustrated had four picking Dallas and three Buffalo....

ESPN.com (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39099829/nfl-week-15-picks-schedule-fantasy-football-odds-injuries-stats-2023) has weekly picks and write ups for every game from two journalists. The Dallas game had them split....




Moody's pick: Cowboys 28, Bills 25
Walder's pick: Bills 27, Cowboys 23

CBS Sports saw six of eight of their "experts" picking Buffalo over Dallas. The conveniently provide a recap of picks and how each one fared (https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/picks/experts/straight-up/15/).

This video validates why I avoid the (many) blowhard TV "experts" and stick with the sports media journalists that write for credible sports media organizations. <iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2f70fb173b9000da126c79afe2098f02.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium;" title="Twitter analytics iframe"></iframe><iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2f70fb173b9000da126c79afe2098f02.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium;" title="Twitter analytics iframe"></iframe><iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2f70fb173b9000da126c79afe2098f02.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium;" title="Twitter analytics iframe"></iframe><iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2f70fb173b9000da126c79afe2098f02.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium;" title="Twitter analytics iframe"></iframe><iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2f70fb173b9000da126c79afe2098f02.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium;" title="Twitter analytics iframe"></iframe><iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2f70fb173b9000da126c79afe2098f02.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium;" title="Twitter analytics iframe"></iframe><iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2f70fb173b9000da126c79afe2098f02.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium;" title="Twitter analytics iframe"></iframe><iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets/widget_iframe.2f70fb173b9000da126c79afe2098f02.html?origin=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.billszone.com" title="Twitter settings iframe" style="display: none;"></iframe><iframe id="rufous-sandbox" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="true" style="position: absolute; visibility: hidden; display: none; width: 0px; height: 0px; padding: 0px; border: medium;" title="Twitter analytics iframe"></iframe>

Much smaller sample size, but on Friday I had NFLN Good Morning Football on in the morning. All 4 of the hosts picked Buffalo.

After work, I watched NFL Live on ESPN. All 3 picked Dallas.

Personally, I think they're all biased. The whole GMFB crew loves Josh Allen. Kyle Brandt has a huge man-crush on him. ESPN has been kissing Dallas's ass for as long as there has been ESPN.

I'll watch those shows for info but I don't put a whole lot of stock in their opinions.

Skip Bayless is a jackass, which is why it’s fun for me to see him eating crow.

That’s all listening to the before and after of the pundits punditing is…fun, entertainment, no different than watching something on Netflix.

I don't think that. Of course it depend son who you are talking about. Using the sweeping "all biased" is nonsensical and objectively false. For example, Michael Irvin IS "biased" to the nth degree. The rest of the NFL GameDay Morning is not. At all.

I don't watch ESPN TV personalities although I read their site. In any event, those that I do watch from time to time (like Prime Video Thursday night crew, or SNF pregame crew) are certainly exponentially LESS biased than a lot of posters here...especially you.

Your anti-Bills bias is legendary.
