Yes.
I am sorry, I would just rather watch anything at this point than the same dink and dunk.

I admit the handoffs RICO have been pretty great lately. Couple of throws. 

As soon as they take the run away we are back to that same sorry ass lil passing chart. 

IDGAF if it's horizontal, vertical or backwards in terms of passing attack. Just make it work and be efficient. We don't seem to be able to accomplish even that on a consistent basis.

Yeah. In seriousness, I believe if we see the Andy we saw in Las Vegas and the OL let’s him be that, we could rock. Because the players get excited if he is slinging it. We did not have the running game we’ve just had for a couple of weeks the last time Andy played either. 
That may not happen. Who knows. The OL and running game are about as QB friendly as we have had for some time. Mostly due to the line. Which couldn’t make a yard last week. 
And the defense is pulling their weight much better than the last time Andy started. They have done a pretty good job with the D. Could be just one or two years away from being really good. 
Again who knows.  We are in good shape if tne players are up for it. 
I’ll just wait and see. It is pretty much an annual playoff team coming in here.

It’s going to feel like a home game for the bills. There are so many of their fans that live down here now, and many of them have never seen Allen play in person since their last visit was 8 years ago. It didn’t matter for the cowboys game, but it might here.

I think we likely lose a close one. Probably a questionable flag or two that doesn’t go our way. X factor for Buffalo will be Kincaid and Knox. If we do win it’s because we get ahead and play keep away from Allen.

FYI- I have many friends who are Bills fans that are fed up with Beane who we all revere and think is the one that got away. They feel like he was great to land Josh but has done a terrible job of building around him (especially at WR) and rely on him to become super man to win- sounds kind of familiar, like the last time we had a franchise QB.

That does sound familiar. Those fans are deep. In snow lol. you don’t want to be up there in January. 
 I would think they have probably seen it all. Except what…  the championship? Gotta feel for them.

I am not getting too far ahead of myself on expectations. I predicted 4-7 wins and I feel pretty good about that considering the rest of the remaining schedule. 

The biggest remaining thing to figure out is Bryce. We have to get that situation determined over the remainder of his starts. I am 90-10 against picking up that 5th year but that scenario should immediately involve a trade when that happens. I suspect it will not happen that way at all.

Ekwonu looks great, so that fantastic. Brown and Horn are staying healthy and living up to those massive contracts. That's amazing. And the 2025 guys are looking filled with promise. Sadly the 2024 class just keeps looking worse. 

So my remaining focus is on the development of TMac, Jimmy Horn, Coker, XL, Scourton, Umanmielen, Evans, etc. If we can get a few wins from that group this roster feels demonstrably better. Wharton has played well for the FA pickups too.

Yeah it is nice seeing some improvement on the defensive side and the young guys.
 

I don’t want to think about the future much if Bryce doesn’t heal and we are kept in this limbo via an incomplete test. It is depressing 

I don’t have quite as dim a view of the 24 draft class as you do  

I have modest hopes for XL compared to none. I like CSW. 
Am a little cooler on Sanders but at the same time realized this week that Morgan getting that future 2nd for moving down turned into Scourton. I think. Jackson is a real value in exchange for the guy we took with the 7th. I don’t expect anything from Brooks but Wallace seems to have improved enough to not bust. And Coker is in with them, but is giving us nothing this year. So far, and it is almost half over    
I hope Andy still has enough to make watching the offense less of a claustrophobic experience. And there is a small chance we upset the Bills but just playing them tough and making it a fun game to watch will be enough.
