NFL
The home of the Buffalo Bills on reddit. Circling the wagons since 2009.
We knew we weren’t making the playoffs—we would be lucky to go +.500!
I get wanting our guys to succeed, and no one would be angry with a playoff appearance. But seriously? “Fire Gute”? “Bench Love”? “Cut [insert random player who made a bad play]”?
We are the second youngest team in the NFL.
If we exclude Bakh, we are literally the youngest team in the National Football League.
Our line-up is full of 20-28 year olds with little to no NFL experience. Of course they make bad plays!
We are building a team full to the brim with talent. Watson, Doubs, Reed, Wicks, Love, Walker, Gary, Alexander, Stokes, Nixon, Ford, another half dozen guys I’m probably forgetting about: we have young talent. We will find success with these players. We have a good team for the future. But we need to pre-heat the oven before we start cooking—and that’s exactly what we’re doing.
We cry hard, we meme harder. Also, fuck DeShaun Watson with a rusty snow blower.

Part 7 of a series I have been doing since the beginning of the season:
There's a lot to overreact to in any given week (Are the Ravens going to run away with the AFC North? Are the Packers the 2nd-worst team in the league? Are the Falcons back? Are the Eagles the best team in the NFC again? Do the Dolphins vanish when they have to step up in class? Are the Bills in trouble? ext...)
Instead, let's spend some time talking about the opposite - storylines that may have flown under the radar or otherwise just aren't getting the attention they deserve. Some things I think people are underreacting to or otherwise deserve more discussion:
-
Detroit Lions: Whenever a good team gets punched in the mouth, there's a tendency to react one of two ways to it - either "This just shows that they were frauds and aren't as good as everyone thinks they were," or "This was a fluke game. Burn the tape." With the Lions, I'd say that neither reaction is appropriate. The Lions have been playing well all year, and their only other loss was to a very good team in OT. The Ravens absolutely annihilated them yesterday though. That being said, it's not a "burn the tape" game. Because this wasn't a fluke. The Ravens just totally dissected the defense and the Lions were down 21-0 before they even knew what hit them. Most blowouts are the result of several unfortunate plays that make the game more lopsided than it otherwise would have been (ex - the Cowboys beating the Giants 40-0 in week 1. The Cowboys were the better team, but when you look at the game summary you'll realize the Giants were also just snakebitten). The Lions didn't have a TO until garbage time yesterday. The defense just could not get a freaking stop and the offense took 4 drives to even get a 1st down. The game plan was bad, the pass rush wasn't getting home, and defenders kept abandoning their assignments to get after Lamar, only for him to get a pass off to a wide open Mark Andrews. The Lions are still arguably the 2nd-best team in the NFC, but this game is something they need to really learn from. It's not a fluke. The Ravens were just better prepared.
-
Green Bay Packers: Packers fans are sick of Joe Barry, but the defense is the better unit in Green Bay right now. The Packers have held their opponents to 20 points or fewer in 4 of their 6 games (and the Bears only reached 20 due to some garbage time points). The last two games have seen the defense giving up 17 and 19 points. Both were losses. The defense ain't the issue.
-
Las Vegas Raiders: We knew the Raiders were bad, but a couple really weird wins against bad teams are masking the fact that the Raiders are actually probably right up there with the Panthers and Broncos as one of the worst teams in the league.
-
Seattle Seahawks: The Seattle Seahawks, despite some dumb struggles, are probably the 4th-best team in the NFC, and it's not unthinkable for them to knock the 49ers off. In their loss last week, the defense showed out, allowing just 3 points for the remainder of the game after the first two Bengals drives. The Seattle offense just had a promising drive stall out due to a dumb personal foul, a red zone INT, and a red zone turnover on downs. Any Bengals fan will tell you they were incredibly fortunate to win that game.
-
New York Giants: 37 fucking sacks allowed so far this year. Is it any surprise Daniel Jones is injured? The win does not fix anything. This is a bad, bad team.
-
Washington Commanders: See above, but somehow even worse, and somehow their starting QB hasn't been injured yet.
Welcome to the fighter and the kid subreddit, we discuss the podcast here.
Apparently there is some interest from the NFL regarding Bijan Robinson's health going into Sunday's game against the Bucs. The NFL is questioning when the Atlanta Falcons knew about Bijans illness and why it wasn't reported under league policy. I wonder how this will go..

Loving the multiview tonight. Two of the games I wanted to watch!
Don’t these fans and teams know they’re supposed to just get over it? They had other opportunities to score after all 🧐
In all seriousness it’s really frustrating that nobody gave a shit about this when it blatantly kept us out of a Super Bowl
Falcons do not play a single game against a team with a winning record the rest of the year. 4 against the Saints, Panthers, and Bucs. The Titans, Cardinals, Vikings, Bears, Colts, and Jets. Basically the bottom half of the league. Not saying we will go 10-0 the rest of the way, but if the Falcons don’t make the playoffs with that cupcake schedule, they have nobody to blame but themselves
