Just want to add that people have said Josh's last throw in the Lions game this year is one of the most clutch one in regular season games. I think Burrows last throw in this game is right up there.

To be fair, he wasn’t bad today. If anything, his presence (in place of Zach Wilson) seems to have settled the team down a bit. No more in-fighting (at least for the moment). Bills should have a good chance at the win next week.
On a separate note, I gave you some grief a few weeks back when the Bills were going through a rough time. I didn’t think the Bills would be able to get themselves back to the 1-seed (even temporarily) but to your credit you never questioned it. After almost 20 years of following this team, I’ve gotten so used to the Bills letting me down when it mattered most; the defence mechanism is real.
But you were right and I was wrong. Your confidence never wavered and you were a great fan throughout. I am very happy to be wrong!
I’m going to do my best to trying and channel my inner “Notacon” confidence in this team over the coming weeks. Not saying I’ll be as strong as I’d like, but after the last few weeks, I now believe anything is possible with these Bills.
Go Bills!

They are sitting #1 but we still need to lock things down.
we still have 2 games against the Jets and Fins we need to get some revenge on. Plus we have our own game vs Cincy. KC isn’t playing anyone very good outside Seattle. And that’s not in Seattle with the noise.
TacklingDummy (12-04-2022)
Yeah but watch there is guy right on his throwing side, like real, real close. I don't know how he got the ball out.
FSU WR Coleman #33
Utah DB Bishop #60
Duke DT Carter #95
Kentucky RB Davis #128
Georgia C Granger #141
Wash LB Ulofoshio #160
Troy DE Solomon #168
UCF OT Grable #204
Penn ST. CB Hardy #219
Eng. OT Clayton #221
Still 5 more games and KC has a much easier path with Denver twice and Houston .
Bottom line is Home field isn't an automatic ticket to the SB. Any given Sunday and it's been proven many times.
Just worry about the next opponent. Quit projecting. Baseless self serving yapping
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
I was thinking sack/fumble to be honest. How did Mike Danna (#51) not affect the throw?
Burrow has taken his game to an even higher level these past few weeks. Real MVP candidate, this throw is insane pic.twitter.com/wdwnFA88Rh

Thanks for the kind words.
I agree with you that Mike White had a pretty good day yesterday. Certainly better than the woeful Zach Wilson. He looked like a world beater last year in the Cincy game.....and started the next Indy game looking pretty good too.
Then, he ran into Buffalo, and he was totally exposed.
But, this is a different Jets team than last year, and the Bills probably won’t roll over them like 2021. The additions of Ahmad Gardner, Garrett Wilson and Jermaine Johnson....all first round picks in 2021, and the development of Quininen Williams as one of the most feared DT in the NFL and the further installation and development of Robert Saleh’’s system and outlook, who is obviously a very good coach, makes the Jets scarier than they have been for years and years.
But I still see the Bills winning, at home this week. Could be close, but the Bills will prevail. Too much riding on this game.
As for the optimistic outlook I maintain with THIS team, since Josh Allen was drafted, comes from following the team for a LOT longer than 20 years.
For those youngsters that have been following the team for 20 years or so....and might have vague memories of the Super Bowl teams of the early 90’s....I remember the two AFL Championships the Bills won.
I have lived through some terrible, terrible teams. Teams that make every single team during the “drought” (of around 20 years) look stellar.
The one constant during the years and years of (mostly) ****ty Bills football??? Ralph Wilson. Yes, he was a visionary in bringing the AFL and dragging the NFL into the best sport in the US. But, he was also THE guy that held them back.
So many bad, bad decisions. So cheap (when there was no cap to worry about). He refused to pay Kim Kelly and had him wasting the first THREE YEARS of his career playing in the USFL.
The only reason Wilson finally gave in and paid the man, was because there was full blown fan revolt. And then he fired GM Polian, who built the team in a stupid power struggle between Polian and Jeff Littmann, bean counter (with ZERO football knowledge) and treasurer of Wilson's Detroit based company.
Yeah...the bean counter and football ignoramus beat out Bill Polian, builder of Super Bowl teams.
Pegula has been the opposite of Wilson. It took him a couple of years to get his bearings, but his stellar management style and hiring decisions (and then letting the football experts he hired to DO THIER ****ING JOB with the minimum of interference) has the Bills on the rod to years and years of real contenders.
I’ve watched a lot of football over those almost 60 years of being a Bills fan, and the NFL has morphed into an elite QB league. And the Bills have an elite QB.
That makes anything possible.
Billscusey (12-06-2022),Dr. Lecter (12-05-2022)
No doubt that Burrow is one of the best QB’s in the AFC (this time of year, all that matters is the AFC conference to Bills fans) along with Allen & Mahomes.
And yes, he certainly has KC’s number winning the last three meetings. Josh Allen has a not too shabby two wins in the last three meetings against the Chief’s (both wins on the road), and Josh did enough to win the 13 second game.....but...I digress.
The most interesting thing about one team “owning” another concerning the Bengals and Burrow....the NEXT game for Cincy vs Cleveland has the opposite effect.
The Browns have OWNED Cincy and Burrow. Beating Burrow FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. The Browns have beaten Cincy SIX games in a row, although the oldest win was with Dalton at QB in week #14 in 2019.
The last time Cincy has beating Cleveland is week #17 in 2019.
The last five losses (all with Burrow at QB) were by the scores of...
2022 - 32-13
2021 - 41-16
2021 - 21-16
2020 - 35-30
2020 - 37-34
Seems the beatings have gotten worse lately.
Match up is still important. It's why the Bills went out and got Von Miller because they have to match up to the Chiefs.
The Browns have a strong D front which matched up well against the Bengals O-Line. Then Browns offense features smash mouth offense which does not play into the teeth of Bengals defense.
Now seeing how Deshaun Watson played at Houston, I don't know the Browns has a chance next week.
notacon (12-06-2022)
The same way the Browns beat the Bengals 32-13 in week #8.
Run the ball down their throats.....172 yards rushing with Chubb gaining 101....totally opposite against the Bills when Buffalo stuffed Chubb for only 19 yards on 14 carries, and Brissett was their #2 rusher with 29 yards, just three behind Hunt who only gained 32....and stopping the run.
The Browns held Cincy to only 36 yards rushing in week #8, leading rusher was Mixon with only 27 yards on 8 carries.
As opposed to what the Bills did against them rushing for 171 yards....with both Singletary and Cook gaining 86 yards, and Josh hardly running at all....3 carries for 87 yards.
I’m not calling the game for the Browns just yet. And Watson will get better. Not sure if he will be a factor. He knows he played poorly last week. If and how much he improves is one of THE story lines this week
In any event, it’s going to be a really good game. With it being in Cincy, I am leaning toward the Bengals finally beating the Browns after five straight losses.
Maybe. But I don't expect Cincy to lose to the Browns twice.
No one expected them to lose to the Browns twice last year either. And last year’s 41-16 loss to the Browns in week #9 (right after their dismal loss to the terrible Jets team) was really sad.
I’m with you though....I don’t expect Cincy to lose to the Browns twice this year, but would not surprise me one bit.
The Chiefs will lose out. We have nothing to worry about. Lmao
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
