I wouldn't say i had "success" either - just how i felt more comfortable playing. I bit on a double move and as i turned to see my safety help he was on the ground. It might have been the first play of the game

Jags should win 3 of their last 4, Houston would have to win out to catch them. Not sure who wins the tiebreaker?

Well, since you won't answer it I will... If this bills lose the same way they did the first time the noise around the team will be huge. The Patriots will be anointed a new dynasty and Maye will surge in the mouths of those who run them as the MVP. The bills ego will suffer a little bit until the playoffs when they dial it in. The January Bills are monsters If the Bills win this game it means little to them. They'll take care of business. The Patriots will have a chip on their shoulder which is what vrabel thrives on. They'll run the table if they lose to the Bills.

This is not quite right. Chiefs will hold the tie breaker over the Chargers as long as they of course beat the Chargers this week. That means they would need the Chargers to lose 2 of their final 3 games. Still not out of the realm of possibility with Dallas, Houston and Denver. Feels like for a while now, dating back to the Thanksgiving Dallas game, we have been saying the Chiefs are in a must win game. This weekend is finally and truly a must win for the Chiefs.

Steelers did it in the 2005 season, playing all three playoff games on the road, then winning the SB. So, it can be done, but no expected to be done.

Found Roundy.

In the purist sense... he is clearly the MVP I dont think anyone has a worse surrounding cast... between WR and Defense... Josh Allen doesnt play we are getting a top 10 pick.

I know the scenarios can change week to week but I get excited at the thought of going into the playoffs with the clear cut best QB of the bunch vs a field potentially absent of Mahomes, Lamar and Burrow

Agree with everything but I think Stafford is the one in the driver's seat. If Rams are the one seed he is MVP, regardless of what the Patriots do. The Patriots are bigger favorites to win their division though, that's what Maye has going for him.

This. We would win on conference record if the above happened.

This is a Beane problem, not a McD problem

I opened the thread, but wouldn't do the idiot the satisfaction of even using an emoji, let alone commenting on it. Do the same, the thread will fall down the wayside.

Ok, perhaps I phrased the premise poorly…there’s something different in the way he is publicly speaking about the team. I think, in general, it also goes to show that fan comments are almost always completely off the mark because fans have no idea what is going on behind the scenes. They make knee-jerk reactions and dumb (IMO) statements like “the Bills win in spite of him.” He’s not perfect but what coach is? Do folks love Sirianni in Philly? They look awful. How about Reid in KC right now, or Harbaugh in Baltimore? Those guys have excuses made for them constantly, and McD never gets the benefit of the doubt from our own fans. I’m always torn about even coming here because the Bills are absolutely part of my identity but I can’t stand so many of their fans.

pork chop sandwiches!

We can get suspended for mentioning the word "Bills" in an around the NFL thread...but this type of thread is A-OK. Great stuff.

Nah, there are just a lot of misconceptions about McDermott out there

This will give Collinsworth a new boy (Maye) to drool over now that Mahomes and the Chiefs are toast this year.

Other option to win division --- Bills: win remaining AFC games (lose to Eagles) Pats: losses to us + 2 more AFC losses (Dolphins, Jets, Ravens) Pats should be favored in those remaining 3 AFC matchups, but the Fins have been playing well and Lamar is capable of flipping a switch at any point. Just need to take care of business this Sunday --- at the very least, getting the 5 seed is very important. Much rather play at Pitt again, or even Baltimore, vs travelling to Houston (who I think will ultimately win that division and be the #3 seed).

Brilliant strategic move to wear the 38-year old female barista glasses for a few weeks to make the team think he'd gone soft, only to remove them to signal that it's now December and time to get down to business. Almost like a "New Coke" type situation.

I just read that the Patriots have the 7th easiest schedule………in the Super Bowl era. Not this year , not this decade, but in the entire modern football era

You say this like it's a bad thing?

Mad!

Bruh no complaint. It's also a free country. I engaged in a football convo with you for a few mins now. If I choose to end the convo, I can. Just as you have that same liberty.

McDermott is a good coach. The Bills were a POS organization when he got here. Both he and Beane built a winning culture mostly due to the drafting of 17. He can a take a losing team and build it up to a good one. The problem here is taking that final step. Going from a good team to a championship one. Both he and Beane are failing here and 17's career is suffering because of it. There are too many flaws mostly on the defensive side for them to win the Super Bowl. That is on Beane more than McDermott. If the Bills replace Beane then McDermott goes on the hot seat as the new GM will probably want to bring in his own HC.
