Kick the crisis can down the road.

You'll never get a front row seat in the parade with that attitude. 😉

When I think of the Bills, I think of a very well-coached team with great fundamentals. When I think of the Dolphins, I think of a very dynamic, high risk/high reward offense, but the fundamentals are lacking. When I think of the Lions, I think at least offensively they blend the best of those: Good coaching and fundamentals, but not risk averse. Campbell likes to roll the dice. They would certainly be a challenge for the Bills but I still would like to see a Bills-Lions Super Bowl.

I'd like to see what the Bills can do to the Lions in February.

l can't blame you. Buffalo sports fandom is like being in an abusive marriage: "Honest honey, I'll be different from now on!" I'm a little more optimistic in my outlook, but I see where you're coming from. We've heard that story before though, innit?

It seems like there's been a concerted effort in recent veteran acquisitions to dispel the team's softness. If Helenius claws his way onto the team by scoring and playing with grit, it could set a new tone for the whole team.

Not necessarily. If he gives us two dominating lines instead of just one, plus some sandpaper, it could be just the tonic the team needs.

Hot take: He'll be a permanent Sabre by Christmas.

Other: Helenius.

From what little I've seen I thought, wow, it's so great to have a huge physical forward and then I looked... he's 5-11, 190? Either he's grown a lot or he plays way bigger than his size.

Quinn on the board.

Yep, I just found that out. Watching the last five minutes.

For out of market peeps, game will be on NHL Network at 2 am ET

I kind of got the feeling the Bills played down to their opponent tonight. And they still scored 31 points. Woof, what an offense.

That was fun. Not the blowout I hoped for but any win against the Fish is a good win.

McDaniels offenses are all flash and no fundamentals. McDermott's defenses are so fundamental they're boring. But the fundamentals win out every time.

The boring fundamentals of McDermott will beat McDaniels' razzle-dazzle every time* *that half the Bills don't get heatstroke on the sideline.

Such a great trash talker. Only if Miami loses 45-6. I predict the Bills will win 45-6

An apt comparison.

I bet you would.

I would like to see Lindy play his real team for the first period every preseason game. They typically focus on the bubble players instead of getting the team ready to play.

I think I have an old Simon Pure churchkey....

I read an AP article the day after the game and the focus wasn't so much how the Bills snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as it was the Raven just plain gave it away. We've seen the Bills give it away too many times. It doesn't bother me at all that they were on the other side of one of those games for a change.
