I don't see putting it on Peacock being that much different than putting it on ESPN. You have to pay for cable to get ESPN so either way it is behind a paywall? I generally agree the NFL should avoid putting a second paywall for playoff games its not in their best interest but if games are on cable why not a streaming service?

With the weather likely being "ugly" this is likely going to be a 50/50 knuckleball-type game. The Steelers have a really strong defense and an offense that while not the best has some pieces (Harris is playing better and Pickins has looked alive) they also have a solid ST unit. The Bills are going to have to play big defensively and offensively not turn the ball over while running the ball conventionally well.

All the Fins had to do was hold onto a 14-point lead with a few minutes left against the Titans and they would be the two seed. They beat the Cowboys they took care of the Jets they just had to beat the Titans with a lead late in the game. Well the Fins faltered and the Bills gave themselves a chance to win the division in the final week.

Gabe Davis is capable of having a big game that I just don’t think Trent is really capable of. I loved what Trent did stepping up in his revenge game but I am not sure this team is better off with him over Gabe. That being said I think Shakir and the TE’s getting more snaps and targets is not a bad thing.

I suspect they will consider making him a post June first cut after next season unless there is some massive changes Von makes to his deal

Where would you rather be?

Five straight playoff appearances, Five straight double digit win seasons and a chance tonight at four straight division titles tonight!

Bills clinch a spot in the tournament now tonight they can get the two seed! Just a relief to know that at worst the Bills are gonna be playing next week. However, this doesn’t diminish the fact that the game tonight is of massive importance as I do not think going on the road three times is a good path to the Super Bowl. The Two Seed is still a much bigger upgrade for the Bills that will make a playoff run a lot easier as they can have home field for two rounds at a minimum

Huge stop by the Titans there! Gotta just get a score here to go up three possessions and that should put you in a very strong position going into the later stages of the game. Can’t let up though still a lot of time left

Titans hitting the Jags in the mouth right now. Gotta keep pressing the gas if you are the Titans plenty of time left. If you can get this next defensive stop it will really put the Jags on the ropes.

Von’s contract is such that I think he will be back for 2024 at a minimum one more year. Poyer’s deal is reasonable enough that I think he gets one more year too, they will likely draft someone behind him to be the “heir apparent”. As far as Tre he is likely cut unless he works out a massive pay cut/restructure so that he can be more cap friendly and give him a chance to kick the tires one more time. But I do not see that happening. Hyde I think they let walk and replace him with a younger free agent or draft choice. Hyde may have one good year let or not but it’s gonna come down to having to start moving on from some of these vets a year too soon than a year too late. To sum up Tre and Hyde likely gone, Poyer and Von one more year.

Say what you will about Von but he is a true professional.

Wouldn’t hate it, but I can see a player like Legette shooting up draft boards during the combine and off season processes because of his measurables. From reading his scouting reports online it seems like he’s checks off a lot of boxes. He produced in college at a top conference, he has an insane athletic profile and he had a drops issue early on in his college career that has seemed to have gone away. It seems like his flaws are that he isn’t a strong blocker, he has only had one year of amazing production at the college level, his production against better competition in college wasn’t the best and he also seems to be too comfortable in contested situations that he doesn’t always get the separation that he should get given his athleticism. I wouldn’t hate picking him up in the late first or trading down into the early second round getting more picks (and then using those picks to trade higher into the middle of the second) and taking this kid to try to get Josh more weapons and Diggs an heir apparent.

Got to go WR, address defense in round 2. With Davis likely gone and Diggs at age 31 this team needs to restock at WR. I like Dejean as a prospect but this team really needs to focus on making sure Josh has the tools.

Every team is running on fumes for the most part. The issue could be alleviated in my opinion with a second bye week. Extend out the season another week and give each team two bye weeks. Players in a 17 game season really need more than one single off week. If the bye comes too early teams are exhausted in the late season, if a bye is in the middle of the season teams get banged up early and still may be faded down the stretch and a late bye is not great as by the time the bye week comes up they may not get the rest they need in time. Give players a bye from weeks 4-8 and then another bye from weeks 10-13 give these players in season time to heal.

I think the Bills are in a solid spot cap wise. The only bad contracts are Von Miller and Knox and Knox is fairly manageable.

If they get the two seed I think it’s a decent shot. A lot of luck has to break your way to make a 3 game playoff run but why not the Bills? Ask ourselves what can go right not wrong!

He’s a rookie who took some time to catch on but he’s been very good late in the season. Also an underrated part of his game is his blocking. He is a very strong blocker which should not go over looked.

Outside of the taunting call which was ridiculous the Bengals game was called pretty reasonably. I thought there was a bad call or two against both teams not the best called game not the worst either. Could have gotten the crew that officiated the Eagles game…

I think you gotta treat this as a playoff game if you are Miami. I think if you “lay down” the game you lose the locker room and make a tactical mistake. Go for the division title and the two seed as best as you can. But it doesn’t matter as Josh is gonna be Superman with the season on the line!

He tore his ACL late into the year last season, I think he may have a chance to be a productive player in 2024 given that players often take until two seasons after an ACL to return to form or at least somewhat closer to their form. Also the cap ramifications of cutting him in 2024 don’t add up, his 2025 dead cap is much more manageable at just 15 million which can be spread across two years. I think the Bills know Von coming back this season at a good form was unlikely hence the Floyd signing. I hoped that maybe after the bye we could really know what he has but it’s been weeks since the bye and he looked a little better but still far off from where he needs to be. Genuinely asking, how has Kingsley looked? I didn’t see him much but I wasn’t keying in on him either.

I think they were hoping Kincaid or one of the WR’s would fall. When all the WR’s got scooped up they pounced to get Kincaid

That’s pretty much the last time that’s occurred, it’s very rare a QB would get hurt on one.

In the draft it’s always about context. The Bills in 2023 were just short of getting the “round 1” WR’s so they traded up a few spots to take the best TE. If you can’t get a WR worthy of that selection trade down or address another need and trade up in round 2 to take another one. It’s all gonna depend on where you draft and whose available When you draft in the first 2 rounds you are looking to address needs in short order.

I wouldn’t hate a “double dip” at WR assuming Gabe walks but I think with the emergence of Shakir its probably better to take a WR round 1 and then take a WR in the mid rounds. With Kincaid/Knox at TE you can be good with just taking one WR high up. I think ideally you take a WR round 1 then address a defensive need in round 2 before going back on offense with the round 3 comp pick.
