Yeah that's very true. They have a good return game.

I never bet on my team.. it’s nail biting enough without money involved.. but Agreed I think the game could go either way..

The Maye hype is absolutely ridiculous. Pats fans should be excited about him. He has shown a lot so far. Also so far, I don't believe he has led a singe 4th quarter comeback. We have no idea what kind of playoff performer he'll be. His success so far has been mainly against bad teams, and mainly w/ the long ball - one of the least sustainable models for great QB play. I've seen MANY Pats fans say at this point that he has already surpassed Josh Allen. That's a level of delusion that I can't really comprehend.

Didn't Davis do that a couple years ago? So likely Dawkins wouldn't have heard the call if they were on the road, which makes more sense when it happened against, I think it was, the Texans where Dawkins took the outside guy.

Yes. They will play them in the season finale. Anyone remember what happened in Brady's last year in the season finale against a really bad Fitzpatrick led Dolphins team?

Anyone catch a presale code for the Triumph tour? Atlanta will be the closest show.

Priceless!!!😂😂😂

🥱🫩😴 Some of us are old.

Hahahaha - these Pats fans are pathetic. Where have they been the past 5 years??? And now they’re putting together a cute season and start beating their chests on the Bills message board. Gimme a break. Exactly. Josh IS the system. I won’t hold my breath for Maye to break multiple NFL records…

24-21. Buffalo.

I wanted to take a step back from the week to week emotional roller coaster, because honestly, this season has felt ugly at times. We’ve been inconsistent, we’ve had roster holes, the injuries have piled up, and there have been stretches where we looked downright horrendous. But when you zoom out and look at the actual playoff field… it’s kind of stunning. The worst outcome for us is basically a 50/50 matchup, and probably not even against Mahomes. Could we lose to several of these teams? Sure. But the idea that we wouldn’t be right in every single one of these games is pretty silly. All of these matchups are close on paper or lean our way. I ordered them by how dangerous I think they are to us, and it made me feel way better about our prospects. Probably as good as I ever have felt. Houston If this matchup happens, it’s going to be tight. They’ve played Allen as well as anyone the last two years. 23–20 loss last year, 23–19 loss this year. Both games were basically a pass protection disaster for us and our offense slogged. It will be a race to 21. A true toss up. Field: Colts, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals Colts seem cooked, but the other three would all be battles. Nothing new there. Ideally we avoid these teams as long as possible, but none of them are some unstoppable monster. All 50/50 type outcomes. Jacksonville A tick ahead of Buffalo in DVOA and playing really well. Coen has completely changed their trajectory. They’ve got legit wins: Chiefs, 49ers, Texans, Chargers. Matchup wise, their defense is built to take away the run. Offensively they’ll try to run a ton, even though the efficiency is mediocre. They’ve had our number a bit, but how much does that really matter now? I see this one similar to Houston, toss up, maybe slight edge to Buffalo. Denver Last year’s Denver team was actually rated better in DVOA than this year’s version. Last year’s playoff game was 13–7 halfway through the third quarter until the Ty Johnson 4th down play cracked it open. This year’s Denver? Not as good. It’ll be a game, but Buffalo should have the edge. Los Angeles DVOA basically has this team as a .500 group. Tons of OL injuries, very up and down, and outside of those early big wins vs KC and DEN, it’s been pretty uneven. They can’t stop the run well, and while they want to run a lot, they’re not efficient. This could be competitive for a bit, but Buffalo should have an edge. New England This NE team is the lowest DVOA 11–2 team since 1978. Run defense is slipping. They don’t run the ball particularly well. Maye flashes but he’s still a young QB. We all saw the first matchup, tons of things went wrong and it still came down to a FG. This is a Wild Card level team which isn't an insult to them. It's good progress. We should win in Foxborough and I expect we will. Pittsburgh We just match up too well here. We own Tomlin lately, and they had no schematic answers on either side of the ball. Complete mismatch in the ground game and QB play. This is the most comfortable matchup on the board.

Why?

I take it you're our resident temporary Pats fan? Maye has been super good this year. I will say that I was at the Patriots SNF football game in Buffalo and had awesome seats right on the 45 yard line 14 rows up. For me that game was a tale of 2 halves. I thought Maye looked pretty lost in the 1st half. Looking at the splits, he pretty much was as he was 8-15 for 82 yards, was sacked twice and scrambled 3 times for 12 yards. He turned it on in the 2nd half, but I also think our CBs were pretty terrible in that game covering Diggs especially. Our secondary right now is a totally different secondary than it was in week 5. We also replaced Bernard with Shaq Thompson and should (hopefully) have Milano for the full game unlike in week 5 when he got hurt and didn't play most of the game. I really do think the Bills are the better team and no matter how Maye has been playing this year, Allen is clearly still the better QB. Playing on the road against a team with an extra week of rest makes a little more of a coin flip, but on a neutral field with equal rest I think this Buffalo team wins against this New England team 8 times out of 10.

If there was ever a "star" QB I would pick to not finish his career where he started, it's Burrow. I think he's tired of Cincy and wants out. Money is nice and all, but it can't buy you happiness. He's also just an arrogant weirdo in general. MOST of those Met Gala types are.

Or any of our linebackers. I think that Bernard is being misused a lot, why do they put him in coverage so much. There was a moment in last weeks game where Shaq Thompson was covering Tee Higgins! Why?

Maye hasn’t done anything close to what Josh did last Sunday. He seems like a good QB. He is playing within the system McDaniels has installed.

This is so cool! Can’t wait for wealthy foreigners to have even more influence on America!

I cannot use you as my comedy critic, for obvious reasons, but I’m sure the hilarity is something to behold. Enjoy.

To say Maye will never be Allen, when Maye's projectory and numbers already look like this and he is in the running for MVP only SECOND season is absolutely asinine. Speaking of Goat you're making Allen sound like the GOAT and he isn't. One of the best dual threat quarterbacks of his generation, and an elite QB? Absolutely. But can he be lapped by Maye if Maye's projectory continues to rise, ABSOLUTELY. How long did it take Allen to look they way he did? I'm pretty sure his 4th year maybe 3rd. This is Drake Maye's 2ND season.

I think people forget how young Coleman is; he will be 23 in May. He definitely has talent, as he was supposed to be the #1 WR coming into his draft year. Obviously, that didn't happen, and he really underperformed. Hopefully, he takes this experience into the offseason and gets some maturity, as he can be a good "Box out" WR. Still need to draft a #1 this year.

That voice. Amazing. You could hear all of America in that voice. The high lonesome country, the Delta blues, the Cuban rhythm ... that's what we mean when we use the genre "Americana."

And then Tom Brady got paid...

Bills-25 Patriots-24 McDermott goes for 2 to win it and Allen converts with a strong run!

We almost lost a game we were up 24-6 in the 3rd Q? I think you are conflating the two chargers games in the Allen era. Ultimstely, I wasn’t trying to say there was never a bad offensive game, I just think the 2020 offense was best equipped to make good or great Josh Allen games as easy as possible. The Niners game comes to mind as a team with a very good defense that he just smoked. Does this have anything to do with the change in touchback rules I wonder.
