    @Boos thoughts on gym shorts leaving? Do you think it was forced or his own decision.
    Any thoughts on Doug’s job? I assume he will come back but do you think he should?
    Chase is who I’m hoping to draft too. We have so many issues we could literally go any positions but I can’t picture us stepping into next year with Ward, Reagor and Fulgham as our starters and be satisfied with that.

    Gym Shorts lmaooooo. Can’t believe Vilma kept calling him that on accident last week. I think he’s kinda the scapegoat, and it wasn’t necessarily his decision since reports are saying the players had no idea until it leaked on social media yesterday. At the same time, I’m not upset about it. His defense was so frustrating to watch. The bend but don’t break mentality pissed me off.

    As far as Doug goes, I think he deserves one more shot. The guy won a super bowl three years ago, the first one in franchise history at that, and has made the playoffs three years in a row. It’s hard to win when your QB leads the league in turnovers and he hasn’t even played in 4 weeks lol. Plus, our situation isn’t the best, so we’d be a second option for many of the top candidates to the point where we might not even be in play for a coach better than Doug.

    And if these reports about Wentz are true, f--- that entitled brat.

    I think his departure was overdue but he has been solid. I just hated that style defense too. Hopefully we can find a defensive coach that’s a little more aggressive. I’d be interested in Dan Quinn if he’s not going for another HC spot.

    My only complaint about Doug is some of his bonehead decisions this year. But there are a lot of factors that are uncontrollable. At least from his press conferences it sounds like his focus over the offseason is to address the injury bug that hits us every year which probably means parting ways with a lot of veterans that we should have gotten rid of a few years ago.

    The reports from today just puts a nail in his coffin. I say get him out of here. He’s been nothing but a whiny b----. Good luck going to another team that doesn’t value a solid backup. He’s handled it about as bad as he could have.

    oh and I was reminded of a report that Frank tried to tell Wentz to be smarter and he basically said no, he’s going to keep playing how he wants. So I’d pump the breaks on the Colts talk a little if he ruined that relationship too.

    @Detroit24 bills PLAYOFF football... you excited? :grinning:

    cleveland, buffalo, tampa bay and washington are all in the playoffs this year. what do these teams have in common? they've all struggled for a long, long time. i'm glad to see these clubs make it back to the post-season because their fans deserve it. its too bad (most) fans can't be at the game to enjoy it with their team because of this silly pandemic.

    Mannn, this is long time coming, you are absolutely right. The stadium would have gone bananas this Saturday if not for the pandemic.

    I honestly think we have a good chance at giving KC a battle or going to the Super Bowl. The way we are playing is out of this world...I still cant believe the bills offense is this potent. I’ll take it 1 step at a time but can hide how excited I am about the potential this team has....colts will be a tricky 1st rd game. I think they have a solid d and a great young rb...Philip rivers should make a few mistakes which will be the difference maker...he’s always good for those

    if Buffalo doesn’t reach the AFC championship game....it will be a disappointment...in my opinion...after the season they just had...it’s hard to have a consistent team in the nfl...that’s why it needs to happen in the next 2 years...before free agents go....for more money and salary cap....drafts can also be hit or miss...their momentum should carry them far...go Bills!

    p.s thanks to the Vikings for trading away Diggs.....it worked out for both sides...you guys got Jefferson and we have our star WR

    Yo @Kon are you still around man? What’s up @TimmyT I came back a few days late last i talked to you. Do you have draft kings or do any sports betting? I’m a little over $476 profit in my account. I’ve been getting lucky choosing one upset nfl game a week for the biggest profit. Ravens were favored over the Steelers a few months back and Steelers won me a little over $100. Ravens look a little better now though compared to then. They shouldn’t even let the browns s--- team in the playoffs when they lost to the jets and should have lost to the Steelers 2nd string this past weekend. Baker is f---ing terrible at passing. All they have is a run game you have to shut down and you win.

    I don’t think Chiefs will win it this year. A lot of their games they barely squeezed by. If the Bills play to their full potential, they may be the top AFC team. I don’t work for them. I just use their casino app for sports betting and gambling blackjack. It has honestly been easy money to me, but you have to think outside the box and always check the injury report. Like this past week the Bears were actually favorites over the Packers somehow, so I went with the packers for the W and won. Plus there’s player props. Like throwing 1.5 tds or more. Rodgers always does that. Russel usually does but one game he screwed me. Against a s-----y defense, bet on the QB of the other team on over the listed passing yards. Sometimes they’ll add qbs as rushers and they only need 7.5 to 19 yards usually and most of the time it works out.

    @dna hits nah, i don't have draft kings or do any sports betting

    i agree you guys have a good shot at giving the chiefs a competitive game or even better...beating them. kansas city isn't playing that well right now.

    i also agree that it would be a disappointment if the bills don't at least make it to the AFC championship. but they seem to be hitting on all cylinders right now and January is obviously when you wanna be playing your best football.

    yeah the trade seems to have worked out very well for both teams. its normally doesn't happen that way.

    agreed, especially in the nfl where star players are rarely traded.

    what’s next for the Vikings? Top 15 draft pick...I see that in mock drafts vikes plan on drafting a defensive player. Yannick Ngakoue experiment went wrong...Need someone to replace everson Griffen..l.

    What are your positions that you need to address in the off-season?

    Kirk cousins still Qb? I know your defence needs help, considering how they performed this year

    The “integrity” of the game. Lmao spare me. This is the same league that made the Broncos play a game with a practice squad WR at QB on a days notice a month ago. And the giants need to win more than 6 games. Shut your mouths and go sit on the couch like every single team ever that has lost double digit games in a season. Get real. Chase to the birds lesssssss gooooooo

    I have no problem with tanking...the higher draft pick can literally change the season next year....that decision came from higher ups...maybe the owner...douggy p knows what he’s doing...he will be back next year...

    players obviously want to play for contracts....but Jalen hurts has no problem,...he is the QB next year...I love the idea of hurting a team you don’t like...life is not fair...sports aren’t either LOL

    Washington upsets Tampa....

    Texans need to grant Watson’s wish to be traded and get as many draft picks as they can for him. I’d hate for him to waste his career on this team.

    This team is beyond f----- for 5-10 years given the current situation. We interviewed Jim Caldwell and Marvin f---ing Lewis but decide to pass on Bienemy? And then when we choose a gm we use the “oh let’s get a guy from NE” plan that NEVER WORKS! Cut Watt to save cap space, and try and trade Tunsil for a first or second rounder to save more cap space.

    Cal McNair is the worst owner in football right now. Dude makes Dan Snyder look like Robert Kraft.

    we need to address the lines, especially the offensive line. the vikings guards are terrible. we could use another defensive lineman as well. however, danielle hunter was out all year and so was michael pierce. BOTH of these guys are big difference makers. i'm not saying they'll solve all our defensive issues, but getting them back will be a big help.

    as far as today's playoff games...i'm thinking seattle beats the rams because goff's status is uncertain and even if he does play, he probably won't be his normal self due to thumb injury. i think you guys beat the colts. the colts aren't a team to write off though. they're kinda underrated to me. i think the most surprising outcome today would be if washington beat tampa. they have the defense to get pressure on brady. the problem is i don't think they can generate enough offense to beat tampa, especially since alex smith isn't healthy
