The Bills, the team that have been very high on your power rankings, which I look forward to reading every week.

But if we look over the course of the season, there'd be the Cardinals team, week one that the Cardinals, you know, every week one, I'm not gonna count too much since then.

They beat the Dolphins, man.

They beat the Jazz.

No, that's a Dolphins was a quality win.

Tua didn't get hurt until it was like 30 to 7.

Like that was a quality win.

All right.

So even if you want to give them a quality win, the last two quality teams that they had played the Texans and the Ravens, they got beat by both of them, right?

I mean, there, there is some moment if I'm looking around saying, man, the shine on the Bills and I'll give you, I'll give you a me on the cardinals' win and uh on the Dolphins win, I won't give you anything now.

Like I'm looking at Eber started off, right.

I'm at least giving like you might give him a thumbs, I might not go thumbs down, but I'm at least thumbs like curious here.

I mean, are the Bills really where we hyped them to be because uh th this, this game, losing this game in this way, they, they were getting beat for the majority of this game.

They come all the way back, which I'll give you some credit for like, hey, look at this courageous comeback and then they choke in the end.

So like, what am I supposed to make of a game where if we use the college football metric of game control, this game was controlled clearly by Houston.

I, I think that's all fair.

I will say about the Bills that look, I mean, if, if you just take a step back and say, OK, this team lost two in a row at Baltimore and at Houston.

Well, those might be two of the four best teams in the AFC, right?

Like it's, there's no shame in those losses.

I don't think, I don't think the way they, OK, the way they got beat by the Ravens was concerning and this game though, fall behind early, but then the really, really good comeback, it looked for a while like, like they could win this game.

CJ.

Stroud takes a really, really bad uh intentional grounding just was trying to throw the ball away, threw it away so badly that it knocked him out a field goal range.

So in this game, it felt like Buffalo at the end of the game had all the momentum and they were going to win it and then they were just stuck a good putt, leaves them in this weird position and Shan MC probably did the wrong thing game management wise.

But anyway, I'm still not down on the bills.

I, I don't, I still think they are a very, very good football team.

Let me ask you this though, Frank, we're arguing out of the gates here.

This is like mommy and daddy fighting.

We are officially the two grumpy uh grumpy guy and the Muppets right now in the theater.

But let me ask you this, you just said they lost to two of the four best teams in the AFC, which is fine, which is excusable unless you are also supposed to be one of the two or four best teams in the AFC.

I mean, there is a moment here where I'm like, hey, losing to the, to the, to Baltimore.

No shame, losing to the Texans.

No shame.

But if you're the Bills and you're supposed to be in the same category as they are.

What a bit of shame.
