Which says a lot about the sheer cowardice of the voters, who are far more concerned covering their butts than acting with integrity.

The importance of this game is that if they can't win the division the Bills want the 5th seed. As good as the wildcard teams are likely to be it's not out of the question that division winners are going to lose home games this playoff season.

Good.

Wrong. Do you believe all gun owners are culpable for the shooting at Brown University? If no, why?

Maybe I am a negative nancy, but the game against the 4-9 Bengals required unprecedendent fluke interceptions by Burrows. And still required the offense to close out a game despite an 11 point lead and less than four minutes to go. Whatever the reason, injuries, other personnel issues, coaching, there is no evidence the deense has turned any corners.

Some Bills fans are never happy, even when the team has a big win; they still find things to complain about. For certain, the torches and pitchforks will be out if it's a loss.

I don't gamble so i am not wagering on anything. What your saying is completely different than what you are implying about pressure. What fans say means nothing. If you listened to the post game show on wgr last week from the phone calls you would have thought the bills lost. So fan opinions mean nothing, mine and yours included. I haven't commented on the pats schedule, teams play who they are scheduled they have no control over it. The pats are a good team anyone saying they are not has not been watching. The pressure is waiting in the post season. Its not there today for the bills staff. I hope they win but this is not the end of the road if they lose. It is a great warmup for how the playoffs are going to feel on the road however and in my opinion I think they will play the pats again, win or lose today.

Oh, you made me so happy just now. Thank you! I thought he was out. Well, that's a horse of a different color! Especially with Campbell out.

Brown U. gunman shouted something before opening fire, as ‘person of interest’ is busted by Anthony Blair & Mikella Schuettler A “person of interest” in the Brown University mass shooting is in custody following an 11-hour manhunt — as witnesses revealed he shouted something before opening fire. Two students were killed and nine others wounded in the attack on a final exam study session. Witnesses said that the gunman shouted something, but revealed they were not sure exactly what. Detectives are still trying to figure out what the gunman said, authorities revealed. It was also revealed that the gunman had a firearm with unique characteristics that helped cops tie him to the deadly shooting, according to NBC News. However, authorities would not comment https://nypost.com/2025/12/14/us-news/brown-university-shooting-person-of-interest-arrested-after-2-killed-9-wounded/

No rational person thinks anyone is more important to their team's success than Allen. There really is not even a second person to discuss. Put Matt Stafford on the Bills, and I don't think they make a super bowl run. Put Allen on the Rams, and they would appear invincible. But that does not seem to be the standard for MVP voting. Only twice in history 1967, Johnny Unitas (team record 11-1-2) and 2008 with Peyton Manning has the MVP come from a team that did not win its division.

At the end of the day, the Bills could very likely win this game and it won't make any difference. They will still likely lose the division and still make the playoffs as a wild card team. The importance of this game is more in how the two teams perform. What happens this afternoon will drive a lot of narratives going into the postseason. The Bills played sloppy and unfocused last time against the Patriots. After the last two weeks, there is some optimism rising they have turned the corner going into the home stretch. This game will go a long way towards convincing fans they have found answers on run defense and in the pass game. Or it could reinforce their inability to play consistent longer than a few games in a row. Meanwhile, many are still skeptical of the Patriots (including me). Beat the Bills again, and they will be seen as a legitimate contender. Lose convincingly, and the fraud claims will only get louder.

In no particular order: Rams, 49ers, Seahawks, Bills, Broncos, Eagles (maybe), Packers. Next I'd put Bengals (yes), Patriots, Texans, Lions, Bears, Chargers, Cowboys, Chiefs. By the way, I think the Chiefs are going to make the playoffs and make it to the divisional round. But that could be me expressing my worst fear to make it less likely that it will happen.

Dane Jackson. Not sure if there were others but he was called up for sure which isn't great for benford IMO

Damn that is one great post. You said everything Ive been thinking and backed it up with facts.

Agree. Strength of schedule numbers are why analytics doesn't really work very well in football. As you point out playing the Bengals with Chase, Higgins & Burrow is a lot different then NE playing them without Chase & Burrow. And that Raven team week one was a completely different beast from the injury ravaged Baltimore team later in the season. My guess is that Simms can't abide how the Bills are building their roster around Allen.

Any practice squad call ups?

Assuming the Pats win the division or at worse come in 2nd, next year likely Pats will have 1st or 2nd in AFC north at home and away for NFC west and AFC South plus away for Bears, Lions, Chiefs and Chargers and home for Denver and Green Bay. Bill have all them at home and away for Denver and Green Bay.

Where are you in NH, Promo? Used to live in NH myself for a few years.

C'mon Ned, that's different.

Bosa isn't on the injury report....

Are you willing to wager, that TBD will not be filled with calls for Beane's and McDermott's head, and viritually nothing else, if the Bills lose today. Or do you expect to see people rationalizing that its ok, because we are likely to be able participate in the playoffs as a Wild Card? Or will we have more posts about how the Bills are better than the weak-ass schedule Patriots despite losing twice?
