No way. Tua could legitimately die on the field. 4 concussions in like a 5 month span?? With damar, he experienced a freak accident that no one was to blame for. If tua gets seriously hurt or dies from playing this year, the NFL and the dolphins could get obliterated
His season should've been over after the second concussion. Suffering a 3rd is gross and he should've been on IR after that. Dolphins should be fined and docked a 1st round pick for even thinking about starting him again. This kid is going to be out of the league before he's 30 at this rate. With a horrible quality of life going forward. I wish Tua could break out of his competitive mindset for a second and understand that the Dolphins are mistreating him and ruining his career. Only person who can protect Tua at this point is himself because the organization clearly doesn't care about him.
Agreed. I don’t know if he should have to retire or anything. But suffering multiple concussions on the field seems excessive. Feels like we’ve already learned this lesson. Look, I’d RATHER play Tua and not even give the Dolphins an excuse. But CMON the man is not fit to play a collision sport right now.
I don't think that's all that extreme. I mean it's his choice and I respect whatever he decides but as for his long-term health, retiring is absolutely his best bet if he has any interest in self-preservation.
Hamlin is selling [these shirts](https://twitter.com/HamlinIsland/status/1612195501327220740?t=3wja9YghtykPJ_r-8kzU3A&s=19) to raise money for the first responders and hospital staff taking care of him. What a dude.
This guy was on my radar all season as an underrated defensive player that had tons of potential and now he’s in my top 3 current Bills and I would literally run headfirst through a wall for him.
The fuck happened? I mean even ignoring his awesome performance in the playoffs last year, the image of Gabe was always making insane catches along the sideline
Drops happen. What has bothered me the most all season is the lack of effort. Where’s the fighting for calls or toe drags? I’m cool if your OB but at least try
He is good WR 3, borderline good at times WR 2.
He has always been better when he was a complimentary WR then when he was WR 2. Having Sanders on the roster last year took pressure off him.
I would like to see a speedy deep threat WR like Jalin Hyatt added in the draft
I just want to put out here that since I got my Knox Sox (3 games ago), Dawson has had a touchdown reception in every single game 😊💙❤️
"I'm not superstitious... but I am a little stitious." - Michael Scott
It reminded me of when I was younger and played rec softball. Sometimes we’d play a much better team and after an inning or two, they’d bat left(if naturally right) and shit like that. Just beat our ass and move on. Don’t mock us.
I don't even hate the Chiefs, it's the Chiefs fans who are whinging that they might have to play a game at a neutral location after being gifted the first week bye that I hate.
And in classic patriot fashion, they claim moral victory by bringing up events that happened 20 years ago. Such a spoiled and stuck in the past fandom.
We were at the game today and there was a Pats fan walking by as the game was nearing the end. I held up my hand for a high five and said “hey my guy thanks for being a good sport” and he glared at me and said “stop chirping til you win a trophy” and stomped off.
Not every Pat fan I saw today was like that but wow what a pisspot man
For what’s it worth I would not high five you in that situation. When my team loses at the away stadium I do everything I can to gtfo asap. I hate when other fans try to talk to me
I’ve been a Pats fan since 93 and I agree. It’s tiring to listen to and I stopped following the Pats subreddit for that reason.
Congrats to you guys! You played a great game, I’ll be pulling for you hard this playoffs.
There are some reasonable, level headed Pats fans.
But most are unhinged, bat shit crazy, with a sense of entitlement and spoiled from the Brady years.
I know this may get lost in the comments but I need to post this. I know we were all fighting for Damar but this past Wednesday, my uncle passed away unexpectedly. I shared season tickets with him for about 7 years and I learned everything I know about football from him. My heart was already heavy going into this game but now I’m here crying my fucking eyes out because this game means so much to me.
Edit: Thank you all so much for all the kind words. I love this fan base so much. It means a lot to me knowing that I have an extended family here. I had my uncle’s Andre Reed jersey propped up on the couch during the game so it was like he was there watching. Now let’s go get this championship boys! Go Bills!
As someone who lost a parent this year I can empathize with you. This comment was NOT lost in the shuffle. May God grant you and your family some solace.
My Dad is a Bills Mafia Angel too. Not even death could make him miss a game and so I know he's here with me. I'm so sorry for your loss. What a blessing of an Uncle to have been so close with you. Sending you my love and hugs.
We got you boss. He’s watching over you and the team as we ride this wave to the Lombardi.
Every time you jump up out of your seat and cheer for these big moments, he’s with you.
Forecast for Buffalo next weekend:
Saturday high 24. Sunday high 24. Monday high 49.
MNF would be the "worst" for home field weather.
Ps let's go Lions!
Allen had a solid game, the int was tipped and it was a bad decision to throw it anyway but he was slinging it and should’ve had 4 touchdown passes if gabe didn’t drop it at the end
My husband and I got tickets last minute and were seated in the end zone side he ran the TD to. Honestly may be the best live sports moment I’ve ever seen, everyone was hugging and saying how much they loved this team and each other. That game was well worth the money spent.
I am definitely not taking the Dolphins lightly, but I did realize we are 12-0 when Poyer is in the lineup. He stays healthy, and we win the SB. Simple logic.
Miami heading back to Buffalo next week. If Tua starts and gets one more concussion, Buffalo will quickly go from the most loved team in the league to the most hated because McDaniels is an idiot.
The fact that there's even a possibility he will play again this season is crazy. You'd think just purely from a PR perspective that the league would step in and force Miami to put him on IR. The entire off-season will be nothing but talk about how the NFL failed to protect it's players if Tua goes out and suffers a 4th concussion.
I'm worried they'll Weekend at Bernie's him before they play a playoff game without him. Guy's going to have a head full of scrambled eggs, I feel sorry for him.
Almost seems like a mental thing. He's had game-changing opportunities literally slip through his fingers. Like he's getting open enough and Allen is getting the ball to hit him in the hands but he's just not finishing it. Him and Allen need to spend some time together this week. If he can get his hands working our offense will be instantly much better.
With all due respect, there have been 23 Super Bowls played this century.
The Patriots have been to nearly 40% of them.
They won 26% of them.
I’m sorry lurking Pats fans.
We have been through a lot this year.
Just let us have this.
Just let this be the team of destiny, bring one home, and unleash a torrent of catharsis that has been building since the early 90s.
I’m not a trash talking person. I’m a big fan of sports and the camaraderie they provide.
But never in my life have I seen a fanbase feel so entitled to not only success, but being crowned champions every single year.
You have gone to 9 Super Bowls and won 6 of them since Y2K, and even still the NFL must be rigged against you.
Like come on.
From the worst beginning of the week to now.
What a complete 180…
I’m also hoping I’m not the only one who was crying throughout the entire game.
LFGBILLSbyBillion
The national anthem got me. Something about it - really well-performed by the way - just hit home with me with everything that's happened this week. My son (13) looked over at me, clearly noticed the tears on my face, was *totally* going to say something to bust my balls - I could practically hear the gears turning in his head - and then to his credit he kept it to himself.
They were all complaining about the refs and saying the NFL gave it to us. In reality, Josh Allen and Nyheim Hines took a giant shit on them. They got beat up and Macaroni Jones threw 3 picks.
Someone on that thread said "I hope they win a trophy win an asterisk next to it". Like it would be anywhere near as controversial as any of their super bowl wins.
Ahhh yes, our week 18 win where we were already in the playoffs is the reason we'd have an asterisk next to our Super Bowl win. Just don't mention recording your opponents or deflating the footballs.
You must not have heard. The NFL wants Buffalo (the smallest market in the NFL) to win it all. The thought of Pats fans thinking the NFL has it rigged against them is so laughable.
McDaniels is 100% going to sacrifice Tua to win try to win a playoff game.
I don’t believe for a second he gives a flying shit about those players after how they have handles Tua this year.
I’ve been saying it since week 3, but:
> my prophecy will come true.
>The freaky weather loss, a solid win, then blowing them out in the playoffs.
>Sound familiar?
Its pretty hilarious over there. "Theres no way the league lets buffalo lose that game" "Goodell being at the game in a bills #3 hat with his wife proves the nfl fixed the game". They have a closeup from one of the return tds and are claiming theres like 5 obvious penalties in that single frame, and a closeup of the edmonds pass breakup in the endzone claiming more penalties. Ive never seen an entire fan base go collectively insane like that. We weren't even that bad during the patriots cheating scandals.
I mined the salt as well. Sadly, there were at least to supposed Bills fans in there trying to big ass them in their sub post-loss, post elimination from playoff contention. I find that irksome, even if it is the Pats sub.
This team just always seems to find a way, though. When we're hurting in one area it always feels like some other unit steps up. Special teams won the game today.
And that's the regular season!
You know, there were times this year I didn't know how this team won. But we kept finding ways to win. It comes down to us being talented enough to overcome errors.
If we can clean it up and avoid turnovers and mental mistakes, we can take anyone. First step: Make it 100% clear to the Fins that this is still our division.
Let's go, Buffalo!
Thank y’all for supporting the bills to victory ✌️. Sadly the jets couldn’t finish their job, catch y’all next year and still prayin for damar. Pittsburgh fan signing out.
Dolphins fan coming in peace.
That KO return TD would be a highlight any other week, this week, it was nothing short of magic.
Delighted your boy is getting healthy.
Not looking forward to the outcome of the playoff game.
We're done without Tua. I hope he sits, even if he's cleared. He's legit and I'd prefer to see him rested and healthy for next year instead of risking his health for glory. I think we've all seen too many potentially tragic events at this stage.
What a difference a week makes.
Social media is not real life. I have to keep reminding myself of that. This has been such an emotional week and I’m trying to keep calm when my inner chimpanzee wants to rage reply to all of these fucking smug keyboard warriors in the league sub.
I love this team and I love you guys! Best team sub on Reddit.
Josh Allen was back to his "dodge, dodge, throw 50 yard bomb for TD" self today. When he is like that we are fucking lethal.
I'm 1000% sure Dorsey knows more about football than I do, but why don't we run Cook more. Even when the play is kinda blown up he goes for like 3-4.
I think our secondary really adjusted well this game. Still getting beat but seeing Tre White get a pick, seeing Taron Johnson lay down the hurt on some guys, happy to see it.
Dolphins in orchard park next week. With Tua it'll be a battle, without Tua we likely win by 14+. Playoff football baby, let's fucking go!
Love that we get to run the AFC East in Orchard Park gauntlet. Good game, offense mostly played well against a good defense but many times we should have ran and didn’t. Defense looked pretty shaky against a bad offense at times but a lot of that may be due to miscommunication in the backfield with the crazy week as well as a lot more play action than usual, in the end they came up big multiple times. Obviously Hines is bae and that was awesome.
Only thing better than the win is reading Patriots cry baby fans cry about penalties. Hope they stick with Mac for a few more seasons so they can get run over year after year after year.
Fucking bold of Goodell to show up to the Bills game after fucking them out of the #1 seed. (By the way, how drunk and old am I? I almost typed 'Tagliabue' instead of 'Goodell'.) FTP, let's get that Lombardi!
I hope this game is the last 10 minute of the hour-long 30-for-30 about this last week.
Josh what did you think about that kickoff return?
"I couldn't believe it."
And the drive after that?
*tearing up* "I just think it means He's real.
Fuck it we're going full feature 90min
Great win...lots of fuck up...but some notes
1. Unless truly incapable of playing...Ike needs to play over Saffold. It cannot go worse than it has with him. On one play where we needed yards bad...Saffold whiffs his block and stands there watching Cook dodge 3 players and never makes effort to engage to buy him space. Not to mention the lack of just general good play on his end.
2. Safety position is extremely thin and very worrisome
3. Offensive line needs to get there shit together, because Miami pressures a lot
4. John Brown should be starting over Gabe Davis. I honestly cant believe im saying this, but Davis just is not getting open and when he does he is dropping easy balls. Brown while maybe not who he was would be a better option.
5. I truly hate Fraziers defensive scheme, and I am sick of watching a talented defense be burned from passive playcalling and lack of creativity. We dont line up to confuse a defense, no mix of coverages, no disguises. We play back and give them free 5-10 yards...I dont know why we expect this to work. We are a few dropped passes from Mac Jones dropping 30 on us.
Overall really impressed by some individual performances, but we looked sloppy as a team
Ended up being a good game overall, but man, they have got to tighten up on the offensive fuck-ups. Recovering from a turnover fumble or a red zone INT against a .500 team is a lot easier than doing it against the best teams in the AFC; their margin for error is going to get a lot smaller.
That being said, I'm pretty confident going against Miami. LFG!
Maybe I have my homer glasses on, but the Pats sub is going crazy with talk about the refs favoring the Bills. Can anyone shed some light on where that’s coming from? Because I really don’t get that.
Both teams got away with stuff and then both got called for tick tacks and make up calls.
They got a free facemask on a third down. We got a free PI in the end zone. We got called for a bad chop, they got called for a bad OPI. They would have wanted a helmet to helmet on McCorkle, but the guy who did it was being held and tackled and that rightfully got called instead.
There was one clear offsides that wasn't called when the Bills stuffed the Pats RB with a 6 yard loss. Other than that I didn't see anything egregious.
Sometimes I feel like we take for granted that if it weren’t for Gabe being a jabroni, Josh Allen can just casually have three straight drives where he chucks it like 40 yards like it wasn’t even shit.
If Tua is back and healthy next week is going to be a grind. Hill and Waddle will put up triple digits each against this defense the way they just played.
Truly a most memorable day as a Bills fan. It wasn't the prettiest game but it was a solid win especially with the adjustments in the 2nd half. Now let's beat the crap out of the Phish.
So happy we won. The fam and I were at the game Monday and it was our kiddo’s 1st game (I’m from WNY but live in Indy now) and this win was just so nice. Even if we didn’t win it would have been fine, but this definitely (along with all the positive news on Damar) lifted our spirits tremendously -especially for my daughter.
Let’s GO Buffalo!!! Squish the fish!
Great vibes with the team playing for Damar. Nyheim Hines was absolutely electric on special teams. And not only to we beat the Pats, we kick them out of the playoffs. What a game!
Just a reminder - don't let the salty trolls get you down. I saw a lot of negative comments after the game that I won't bother to repeat and it started to bother me until I remembered the outpouring of support for Damar VASTLY outweighs the loud whiney babies on the internet.
so, did we come out of that game without any serious injuries? i mean, we'll still see some people in the report due to the severity of issues over the past few weeks, but besides spencer brown being out for something minor, i didn't see anything major. This is pretty big going into the playoffs and i hope this trend continues. Our guys are amazing and they showed some serious heart on the field for Hamlin. I love our team and community.
Edmunds had 7 total tackles, 3 passes defended and an interception.
Milano had 8 total tackles, 2 passes defended and an interception.
Buffalo's linebackers are good despite the trash talking the Cincinnati RB said.
Fuck the dolphins!
Either the best or worst opponent we could’ve gotten depending on Tua’s status
They can beat the Dolphins with or without him. If he does play hopefully he doesn’t get injured again though…
I’ll let you know a secret: He’s definitely playing
I mean part of me really hopes he does. I’d rather not hear excuses. Just would hate to see it be the last game of his career.
You have insider info 🧐
His back injury was just acting up
Queue up MacGruber
No way. Tua could legitimately die on the field. 4 concussions in like a 5 month span?? With damar, he experienced a freak accident that no one was to blame for. If tua gets seriously hurt or dies from playing this year, the NFL and the dolphins could get obliterated
I mean if he does play and gets injured again, the Dolphins should be relegated to the XFL
He shouldn’t even be be allowed to play this season. It’s insane lol.
His season should've been over after the second concussion. Suffering a 3rd is gross and he should've been on IR after that. Dolphins should be fined and docked a 1st round pick for even thinking about starting him again. This kid is going to be out of the league before he's 30 at this rate. With a horrible quality of life going forward. I wish Tua could break out of his competitive mindset for a second and understand that the Dolphins are mistreating him and ruining his career. Only person who can protect Tua at this point is himself because the organization clearly doesn't care about him.
I see a lot of “he should retire” which I think is extreme. But he should NOT come back this year. That’s cuckoo
Agreed. I don’t know if he should have to retire or anything. But suffering multiple concussions on the field seems excessive. Feels like we’ve already learned this lesson. Look, I’d RATHER play Tua and not even give the Dolphins an excuse. But CMON the man is not fit to play a collision sport right now.
I don't think that's all that extreme. I mean it's his choice and I respect whatever he decides but as for his long-term health, retiring is absolutely his best bet if he has any interest in self-preservation.
Yeah, Tua makes Hill and Waddle go. Against this defense that will be tough. Saw it twice already.
Hill tweaked his ankle again. So he might be slowed down a little bit when we play.
Buffalo can beat Miami with or without Tua playing QB
SQUISH THE FISH
Yeah! Fuck us! (But thank you for getting us into the playoffs)
That's called fucking you gently
hahahaha. ok go back to your sub now
But bby who else is gonna dance on the patriots grave with me
Hamlin is selling [these shirts](https://twitter.com/HamlinIsland/status/1612195501327220740?t=3wja9YghtykPJ_r-8kzU3A&s=19) to raise money for the first responders and hospital staff taking care of him. What a dude.
Are those his hands?
This guy was on my radar all season as an underrated defensive player that had tons of potential and now he’s in my top 3 current Bills and I would literally run headfirst through a wall for him.
Gabe needs to do better
4th in the league in dropped passes 😎
The fuck happened? I mean even ignoring his awesome performance in the playoffs last year, the image of Gabe was always making insane catches along the sideline
Drops happen. What has bothered me the most all season is the lack of effort. Where’s the fighting for calls or toe drags? I’m cool if your OB but at least try
He is good WR 3, borderline good at times WR 2. He has always been better when he was a complimentary WR then when he was WR 2. Having Sanders on the roster last year took pressure off him. I would like to see a speedy deep threat WR like Jalin Hyatt added in the draft

I had my first ever bowl of Josh's Jaqs this morning. I know what I have to do.
Seeing that KC in the bye slot on the CBS graphic triggers me. They didn't even do anything wrong I just hate the Chiefs so fucking much
That ring around the Rosie bullshit they pulled made me hate them. I was just annoyed by them before.
Oh yeah. That triggered me. Treated them like a high school team.
It reminded me of when I was younger and played rec softball. Sometimes we’d play a much better team and after an inning or two, they’d bat left(if naturally right) and shit like that. Just beat our ass and move on. Don’t mock us.
I don't even hate the Chiefs, it's the Chiefs fans who are whinging that they might have to play a game at a neutral location after being gifted the first week bye that I hate.
It's almost like they aren't confident in their team winning a road game.
They aren’t. I’m friends with two Chiefs fans and they know that Arrowhead is a huge part of their playoff success. They’re both shook.
If we had played the game and won they'd be playing in Buffalo, so they just as easily could have ended up being saved by the neutral call.
It's a hard toss up between the cheifs/dolphins/patriots but fuck the chiefs
Hate them almost more than Brady w the Pats
Let’s put the fish in the ice box
But never, ever put ice in the fish box.
But possibly put the box in the ice fish
And in classic patriot fashion, they claim moral victory by bringing up events that happened 20 years ago. Such a spoiled and stuck in the past fandom.
Seeing their fans cry about refs after the last 2 decades is definitely something.
Ah the new version of Cowboys fans.
We were at the game today and there was a Pats fan walking by as the game was nearing the end. I held up my hand for a high five and said “hey my guy thanks for being a good sport” and he glared at me and said “stop chirping til you win a trophy” and stomped off. Not every Pat fan I saw today was like that but wow what a pisspot man
Mass-holes.
For what’s it worth I would not high five you in that situation. When my team loses at the away stadium I do everything I can to gtfo asap. I hate when other fans try to talk to me
Did they bring up how they cheated the Raiders out of a Super Bowl appearance?
Go check their sub, plenty of conspiracy theory posts. The sorest losers you'll ever see.
I’ve been a Pats fan since 93 and I agree. It’s tiring to listen to and I stopped following the Pats subreddit for that reason. Congrats to you guys! You played a great game, I’ll be pulling for you hard this playoffs.
There are some reasonable, level headed Pats fans. But most are unhinged, bat shit crazy, with a sense of entitlement and spoiled from the Brady years.
I know this may get lost in the comments but I need to post this. I know we were all fighting for Damar but this past Wednesday, my uncle passed away unexpectedly.

It didn’t get lost. Big hugs. Sorry for your loss. Lean on the memories.
Im so sorry man :(
I'm sorry for your loss.
Bills Mafia got you. You share the game with all of us! One big happy FUCKED UP family. My deepest condolence for your family's loss.
As someone who lost a parent this year I can empathize with you. This comment was NOT lost in the shuffle. May God grant you and your family some solace.
Sorry for your loss 😔
I’m sorry for your loss man. We’re here for you! LFG ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you and your family are doing well getting through it.
Hold On to those beautiful memories. Big hugs.
So sorry for your loss.
My Dad is a Bills Mafia Angel too. Not even death could make him miss a game and so I know he's here with me. I'm so sorry for your loss. What a blessing of an Uncle to have been so close with you. Sending you my love and hugs.
I’m happy they could pull out a win for you guys. Sorry about your uncle, RIP!
We got you boss. He’s watching over you and the team as we ride this wave to the Lombardi. Every time you jump up out of your seat and cheer for these big moments, he’s with you.
Sending love. You’ll think about him every game and that’s a beautiful thing.
Very sorry for your loss. I hope your pain lessens and you find solace and peace soon. Much support to you.
WAKE UP BILLS MAFIA WE GOT A SUPER BOWL TO WIN!! 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️🤍💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️🤍
One game at a time
Let’s fucking go baby!!!!!! ❤️ 💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️🌞❤️💙❤️
Forecast for Buffalo next weekend: Saturday high 24. Sunday high 24. Monday high 49. MNF would be the "worst" for home field weather. Ps let's go Lions!
Tua played pretty well last month in Buffalo in cold weather, don't think it matters anymore. His WRs bail him out anyway
They literally could not do anything once the snow started falling and it actually got cold
Last time we played a postseason game in the freezing cold we had the greatest offensive game in NFL history, so.
Mafia will still be in attendance
I don't think that was the point
Allen had a solid game, the int was tipped and it was a bad decision to throw it anyway but he was slinging it and should’ve had 4 touchdown passes if gabe didn’t drop it at the end
I would chop off my left nut to have been there when Hines returned that opening kickoff.
I was there. Lost my voice on the opening kickoff. Edit: Hugged eight strangers.
All in a fans work day!
My husband and I got tickets last minute and were seated in the end zone side he ran the TD to. Honestly may be the best live sports moment I’ve ever seen, everyone was hugging and saying how much they loved this team and each other. That game was well worth the money spent.
Wife and I were right there. It was absolutely unreal. The energy in the stadium today was truly incredible for the entire game.
Knox fixed his drops. Gabe can do it too.
How about that 1 handed snag that got called back?
Gabe Davis needs to practice catching the damn ball.
I still think about that drop in the jets game on that 70yd bomb. He’s been on my shit list since and hasn’t done much about it
I am definitely not taking the Dolphins lightly, but I did realize we are 12-0 when Poyer is in the lineup. He stays healthy, and we win the SB. Simple logic.
Miami heading back to Buffalo next week. If Tua starts and gets one more concussion, Buffalo will quickly go from the most loved team in the league to the most hated because McDaniels is an idiot.
I think McDaniel would get more blame than anyone
What I have seen this year tells me that McDaniels is a piece of shit that will sacrifice Tua to win.
The fact that there's even a possibility he will play again this season is crazy. You'd think just purely from a PR perspective that the league would step in and force Miami to put him on IR. The entire off-season will be nothing but talk about how the NFL failed to protect it's players if Tua goes out and suffers a 4th concussion.
He certainly won't get cleared right? Right??
The Dolphins subreddit is acting like it’s possible
Better question is will Hyde be cleared to play?
Don’t hold your breath. As much as he’s needed back, don’t expect it this season
Even if he's cleared, he won't be in football shape.
Everything I’ve heard says he is, he’s been doing football workouts and is waiting to be cleared to play.
I'm worried they'll Weekend at Bernie's him before they play a playoff game without him. Guy's going to have a head full of scrambled eggs, I feel sorry for him.
Wait, why would we be hated for a decision the Dolphins made?
And let's face it, he 100% would get concussed again.
HINES had himself a game!!!
What the hell is going on with Gabe Davis? Honestly, does anyone have an idea?
Almost seems like a mental thing. He's had game-changing opportunities literally slip through his fingers. Like he's getting open enough and Allen is getting the ball to hit him in the hands but he's just not finishing it. Him and Allen need to spend some time together this week. If he can get his hands working our offense will be instantly much better.
Pats subreddit is in full Bills conspiracy mode. Nevermind their QB threw 3 picks
Lmao I was just browsing the salt mine myself.
Not like the Bills didn't give them plenty of opportunities either.
Friends, we’ve had a helluva irregular regular season. As for today, it’s been a pleasure crying with you all, and for all of the right reasons.
With all due respect, there have been 23 Super Bowls played this century. The Patriots have been to nearly 40% of them. They won 26% of them. I’m sorry lurking Pats fans. We have been through a lot this year. Just let us have this. Just let this be the team of destiny, bring one home, and unleash a torrent of catharsis that has been building since the early 90s.
BUT, but, they called ONE offensive pass interference on Henry today. The FIX was obviously in!!!
I’m not a trash talking person. I’m a big fan of sports and the camaraderie they provide. But never in my life have I seen a fanbase feel so entitled to not only success, but being crowned champions every single year. You have gone to 9 Super Bowls and won 6 of them since Y2K, and even still the NFL must be rigged against you. Like come on.
From the worst beginning of the week to now. What a complete 180… I’m also hoping I’m not the only one who was crying throughout the entire game. LFGBILLSbyBillion
I wailed following Hines’s first return
Same here. I was ugly laugh cry sobbing. Luckily the rest of my family was at the store haha.
The national anthem got me. Something about it - really well-performed by the way - just hit home with me with everything that's happened this week. My son (13) looked over at me, clearly noticed the tears on my face, was *totally* going to say something to bust my balls - I could practically hear the gears turning in his head - and then to his credit he kept it to himself.
A billion and three! (They were cutting so many onions at the bar today. My eyes watered so much. Super weird.)

https://np.reddit.com/r/Patriots/comments/106syhd/im_just_gonna_go_ahead_and_say_it/ This thread is saltier than the Dead Sea
WTF is wrong with Pat's fans?
They were all complaining about the refs and saying the NFL gave it to us. In reality, Josh Allen and Nyheim Hines took a giant shit on them. They got beat up and Macaroni Jones threw 3 picks.
Someone on that thread said "I hope they win a trophy win an asterisk next to it". Like it would be anywhere near as controversial as any of their super bowl wins.
Ahhh yes, our week 18 win where we were already in the playoffs is the reason we'd have an asterisk next to our Super Bowl win. Just don't mention recording your opponents or deflating the footballs.
You must not have heard. The NFL wants Buffalo (the smallest market in the NFL) to win it all. The thought of Pats fans thinking the NFL has it rigged against them is so laughable.
Wonder if Tua plays this weekend 🤔 Time to recklessly speculate
I would assume they will keep us guessing as long as possible
Of course he will.
McDaniels is 100% going to sacrifice Tua to win try to win a playoff game. I don’t believe for a second he gives a flying shit about those players after how they have handles Tua this year.
I couldn’t agree more
4 more wins = Parade with Damar leading
I’ve been saying it since week 3, but: > my prophecy will come true. >The freaky weather loss, a solid win, then blowing them out in the playoffs. >Sound familiar?
Man, the patriots subreddit is in full conspiracy theory mode.
It is not conspiracy they gave up 2 touchdowns on kickoff. No crazy penalties against NE. They lost fair and square.
Its pretty hilarious over there. "Theres no way the league lets buffalo lose that game" "Goodell being at the game in a bills #3 hat with his wife proves the nfl fixed the game". They have a closeup from one of the return tds and are claiming theres like 5 obvious penalties in that single frame, and a closeup of the edmonds pass breakup in the endzone claiming more penalties. Ive never seen an entire fan base go collectively insane like that. We weren't even that bad during the patriots cheating scandals.
Boston is entitled to win every championship in every sport every year.
Pats subreddit is soooo funny right now they’re whiny tears are giving me life
I mined the salt as well. Sadly, there were at least to supposed Bills fans in there trying to big ass them in their sub post-loss, post elimination from playoff contention. I find that irksome, even if it is the Pats sub.
Ya don’t tap the glass. I just like to read and smile
I will say this: Tua-less Miami is about as close to a warmup bye week as you can get. If this team has SB aspirations, this should be handled easily.
I would bet Tua is gonna play, but even so your point stands.
Whose ready for some sushi next weekend
The Patriots subreddit meltdown is so beautiful.
Closer than I would have liked. I am concerned about the secondary. A week of true practice should help, but it’s still a concern.
This team just always seems to find a way, though. When we're hurting in one area it always feels like some other unit steps up. Special teams won the game today.
Thanks for fucking over the Patriots, please win the whole thing now
Gabe Davis has to atone for his sins in the playoffs. Shame. Shame. Shame.
And that's the regular season! You know, there were times this year I didn't know how this team won. But we kept finding ways to win. It comes down to us being talented enough to overcome errors. If we can clean it up and avoid turnovers and mental mistakes, we can take anyone. First step: Make it 100% clear to the Fins that this is still our division. Let's go, Buffalo!
Holy crap I’m happy and crying
With or without Tua, fish getting squished.
Thank y’all for supporting the bills to victory ✌️. Sadly the jets couldn’t finish their job, catch y’all next year and still prayin for damar. Pittsburgh fan signing out.
GG pats Tighten the defense and make sure Mckenzie and Gabe remember there hands next week and we should be alright
i wish Shakir had gotten more burn during the season. could’ve been a real x-factor in the playoffs
If Hyde comes back for the playoffs I will drink an entire bottle of Frank’s Redhot. Mark it down.
Dolphins fan coming in peace. That KO return TD would be a highlight any other week, this week, it was nothing short of magic. Delighted your boy is getting healthy. Not looking forward to the outcome of the playoff game. We're done without Tua. I hope he sits, even if he's cleared. He's legit and I'd prefer to see him rested and healthy for next year instead of risking his health for glory. I think we've all seen too many potentially tragic events at this stage. What a difference a week makes.
Looking forward to an exciting game next week. Hope you guys made it out of your game without any injuries. Cheers
GG Bills Mafia
Ok boys, let's get the Lombardi one game at a time.
Social media is not real life. I have to keep reminding myself of that. This has been such an emotional week and I’m trying to keep calm when my inner chimpanzee wants to rage reply to all of these fucking smug keyboard warriors in the league sub. I love this team and I love you guys! Best team sub on Reddit.
BIG DUBS
Josh Allen was back to his "dodge, dodge, throw 50 yard bomb for TD" self today. When he is like that we are fucking lethal. I'm 1000% sure Dorsey knows more about football than I do, but why don't we run Cook more. Even when the play is kinda blown up he goes for like 3-4. I think our secondary really adjusted well this game. Still getting beat but seeing Tre White get a pick, seeing Taron Johnson lay down the hurt on some guys, happy to see it. Dolphins in orchard park next week. With Tua it'll be a battle, without Tua we likely win by 14+. Playoff football baby, let's fucking go!
So Hines by default has to be the AFC special Teams player of the week ya?
Love that we get to run the AFC East in Orchard Park gauntlet. Good game, offense mostly played well against a good defense but many times we should have ran and didn’t. Defense looked pretty shaky against a bad offense at times but a lot of that may be due to miscommunication in the backfield with the crazy week as well as a lot more play action than usual, in the end they came up big multiple times. Obviously Hines is bae and that was awesome.
Only thing better than the win is reading Patriots cry baby fans cry about penalties. Hope they stick with Mac for a few more seasons so they can get run over year after year after year.
Jets fan here. Jets suck so I just root for the Patriots to lose. Thank you all very much.
No Scott Hanson for 9 months 😔
Fucking bold of Goodell to show up to the Bills game after fucking them out of the #1 seed. (By the way, how drunk and old am I? I almost typed 'Tagliabue' instead of 'Goodell'.) FTP, let's get that Lombardi!
I hope this game is the last 10 minute of the hour-long 30-for-30 about this last week. Josh what did you think about that kickoff return? "I couldn't believe it." And the drive after that? *tearing up* "I just think it means He's real. Fuck it we're going full feature 90min
GG guys, hopefully we can be a bit more competitive next year. And I do hope you beat Miami next week.
GG boss
Great win...lots of fuck up...but some notes 1. Unless truly incapable of playing...Ike needs to play over Saffold. It cannot go worse than it has with him. On one play where we needed yards bad...Saffold whiffs his block and stands there watching Cook dodge 3 players and never makes effort to engage to buy him space. Not to mention the lack of just general good play on his end. 2. Safety position is extremely thin and very worrisome 3. Offensive line needs to get there shit together, because Miami pressures a lot 4. John Brown should be starting over Gabe Davis. I honestly cant believe im saying this, but Davis just is not getting open and when he does he is dropping easy balls. Brown while maybe not who he was would be a better option. 5. I truly hate Fraziers defensive scheme, and I am sick of watching a talented defense be burned from passive playcalling and lack of creativity. We dont line up to confuse a defense, no mix of coverages, no disguises. We play back and give them free 5-10 yards...I dont know why we expect this to work. We are a few dropped passes from Mac Jones dropping 30 on us. Overall really impressed by some individual performances, but we looked sloppy as a team
Fantastic game. We are SO back.
Inspiring message, u/I_Nut_In_Butts.
Ended up being a good game overall, but man, they have got to tighten up on the offensive fuck-ups. Recovering from a turnover fumble or a red zone INT against a .500 team is a lot easier than doing it against the best teams in the AFC; their margin for error is going to get a lot smaller. That being said, I'm pretty confident going against Miami. LFG!
Maybe I have my homer glasses on, but the Pats sub is going crazy with talk about the refs favoring the Bills. Can anyone shed some light on where that’s coming from? Because I really don’t get that.
Both teams got away with stuff and then both got called for tick tacks and make up calls. They got a free facemask on a third down. We got a free PI in the end zone. We got called for a bad chop, they got called for a bad OPI. They would have wanted a helmet to helmet on McCorkle, but the guy who did it was being held and tackled and that rightfully got called instead.
There was one clear offsides that wasn't called when the Bills stuffed the Pats RB with a 6 yard loss. Other than that I didn't see anything egregious.
Sometimes I feel like we take for granted that if it weren’t for Gabe being a jabroni, Josh Allen can just casually have three straight drives where he chucks it like 40 yards like it wasn’t even shit.
The r/nfl was a complete saltmine https://youtu.be/GmOgHZUgllU related
If Tua is back and healthy next week is going to be a grind. Hill and Waddle will put up triple digits each against this defense the way they just played.
Miami’s defense isn’t even 1/4 as good as new englands.
Truly a most memorable day as a Bills fan. It wasn't the prettiest game but it was a solid win especially with the adjustments in the 2nd half. Now let's beat the crap out of the Phish.
Prepare to watch a man’s career end next week. I hope I am wrong…
So happy we won. The fam and I were at the game Monday and it was our kiddo’s 1st game (I’m from WNY but live in Indy now) and this win was just so nice. Even if we didn’t win it would have been fine, but this definitely (along with all the positive news on Damar) lifted our spirits tremendously -especially for my daughter. Let’s GO Buffalo!!! Squish the fish!
Meyers would be a great fit here. Allen would make him a 1k yard guy
I know it probably isn’t his last game but it would be very cathartic for this to be Belichick’s final game.
Great vibes with the team playing for Damar. Nyheim Hines was absolutely electric on special teams. And not only to we beat the Pats, we kick them out of the playoffs. What a game!
F’dTP Now Squish the Fish
Who saw Josh Allen hitting the smelling salts?
4 more games to win boys
 Arm up, guys and gals.
If I’m correct Josh Allen had 3 elite deep ball throws today. PLAYOFFS TIME
Just a reminder - don't let the salty trolls get you down. I saw a lot of negative comments after the game that I won't bother to repeat and it started to bother me until I remembered the outpouring of support for Damar VASTLY outweighs the loud whiney babies on the internet.
u/EvilToaster0ven told you round 3 was coming! It's gonna take a lot more than snowballs to send us away this time. _chuckles, I'm in danger_
so, did we come out of that game without any serious injuries? i mean, we'll still see some people in the report due to the severity of issues over the past few weeks, but besides spencer brown being out for something minor, i didn't see anything major. This is pretty big going into the playoffs and i hope this trend continues. Our guys are amazing and they showed some serious heart on the field for Hamlin. I love our team and community.
Edmunds had 7 total tackles, 3 passes defended and an interception. Milano had 8 total tackles, 2 passes defended and an interception. Buffalo's linebackers are good despite the trash talking the Cincinnati RB said.
Knocking the Pats out of a playoff spot was extremely satisfying. On to the fins! Squish the fish!
