The loss to the fish is the unplausable piece. But its a division game and they gave buffalo issues. This is the game that comes to mind when you say anything can happen: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201912290nwe.htm. Anything relating to denver wouldn't be that shocking imo. They haven't looked that great for a bit, and they have GB, JAX, @KC, and LAC. Would need them to lose 3, unless buffalo were to win out.

If Bosa only ends up missing a game or 2 then that’s a W for Beane.

Yeah we’ll go full schottenheimer/Deoin sanders on this guy

I'm hopeful and that slate would be the most entertaining IMO.

It’s pretty clear he was 100% trying to go to Philly. He is only ‘contemplating retirement’ because the bills stopped him from clearing waivers

It’s a crappy move, but with the eagles on the schedule this is exactly what I would do until at least after that game.

Am I the only one whose favorite thing is when the Bills ruin a franchise? I'm thinking comeback Oilers...Bellichick and the perfect game...and now it seems like the Steelers. I just love it.

Welp Thats why they call me Hindsight

The biggest problem in Pittsburgh is not Mike Tomlin. It is they can't find an answer at Quarterback and since Omar Khan took over they have not drafted great. If they fire Tomlin he'd be hired in minutes.

That is the 1,000,000 question. I think its past time to flush the entire S&C approach amd staff.

Honest #1 DEN #2 NE vs #7 HOU #3 JAC vs #6 KC #4 BAL vs #5 Bills Hopeful Bills win out. NE loses to BUF, BAL and then MIA in final week. #1 Bills #2 JAC vs #7 HOU #3 DEN vs #6 KC #4 BAL vs #5 NE

12:20 the reason Palmer does that is to distract the safety and attempt to draw him away from Knox, who he can see as he's heading right to left....is wide open. Allen should've thrown it to Knox, either way. Bad read.

Everybody needs to switch Bills and Pats. Bills win out, Pats drop 3 including a stunner loss to the fish. Will that get us the 1 seed? IDK. That's the hill I'll be on. Last season at the Ralph and the road to the SB goes through there. It is destiny. Am I the only Billiever here? Remember being 6-6 at this point once?

I just played around with a few games but it wasn't particularly hard to create this scenario: Requires Buffalo to go 4-1 and lose to philly. NE to go 1-3 and lose to Buffalo, Baltimore, and Miami. Would be an epic collapse, but its december and the dolphins aren't even dead yet. I expect them to be by then, but its a division game and this isn't brady patriots from an aura perspective. Denver to go 2-3 with losses to KC, GB, and one of chargers and jacksonville. Not particularly unplausable with how they've played recently. 4-way with jacksonville and buffalo still wins division but would not get a bye on tiebreakers. Probably a pipe-dream, but i thought it would be far harder to create a path to #1 in the conference.

They have only played twice since then.

There is something to be said for continuity, program, and culture in football. Many of the best orgs in sports do not make drastic changes regularly to mgmt or coach if they consistently are winning ... whereas many of the worst orgs its change after change 24/7. WITH that said... at some point you have to evaluate your goals for your organization and what you are aiming for. The NFL is vastly different from even 10 years ago, coaches messages can run dry at some point (even the best), and saying "hey we appreciate to the max everything you have done but we need to carefully do something new" is a proper approach when the majority of the arrows are pointing down on your direction. The Eagles I have a ton of respect since Lurie took over because they org is consistent from owner to mgmt on what the goals are and the approach. They have had a few coaches since Reid but they do not settle for what they expect and all of the coaches have had anywhere from 3-5 years to implement their program. Additionally they have not had the benefit of a franchise QB since McNabb although Hurts is pretty good, yet have won very consistently in that time. My uncle once said that in football once you have a winning org your goal is to keep that vibrancy and culture with good people for as long as possible without taking a wreckling ball to it. The Bills drought non surprisingly started when Butler and staff was fired who proceeded to help make the Chargers into a strong program.

True, but objectively the Browns owe the Bills one as well, that game moved to Detroit was one of the strangest things I've ever seen. Before anybody jumps on me, remember McD was being interviewed from his office on a Thursday, saying something like "I don't know what the league will do," ....uh, how about getting out of town for an epic snowstorm to Pittsburgh or Washington? Outdoor venues for outdoor teams that were available that weekend. The NFL screwed that one up, gave the Bills a huge edge. Just my opinion. He's one of the best CBs in football in case you missed it.

No chance. Josh knew it was Cover 3. Once he sees the roll in coverage and the corner sink it's the automatic tell. Josh was trying to force a throw for a first. If he throws the slant off the hitch it's a completion for 5-7 yards and we get a 4th and manageable. He just waits on it.

And yet the Bills haven’t beat the Bengals since 2019.

How on earth did Kincaid pick up a different injury. What is he doing and what in the hell is our training staff doing

Dorian Williams should also get some play, he’s solid against the run, can QB spy most QB’s, and a decent blitzer. I would look to have Shaq/Milano/Bernard in rotation in nickel situations and then use Williams as a third LB and situationally.

Would we lose our place in the waiver wire hierarchy if he retires? I’m assuming not.

Want in one hand and crap in the other. See which gets full the quickest

Yes

Have you ever seen me and @HOUSE in the same place at the same time??? I didn’t think so…..
