All the INTs I can remember him making were in zone.
I think this is still premature, though. The only way he can get better is to keep chugging along at CB. I think the coaches are going to be ultra patient with him (as they have been) and make coverage adjustments as necessary.
Playing the Pats will be a nice “get well” week for Tre at CB.-

HIs Toy Fund is going to help a lot of kids. I help run one here in Rochester that been around for 27 years and the amount of funds that have come in are unprecedented for something like that.

Awesome to hear that he is responsive and appears to be neurologically intact. For those that understand medical speak, can anyone comment on what “critically ill” means? Just trying to keep level expectations of where his health may be at, versus medical risks that may still exist for him.

Normally I would agree, but with this act of kindness, I will give him a pass. Others with alot of money donated, as of this moment he's donated the most. I can appreciate that and do.
I have to say, there’s several names in the list of donators that I’ve never been a big fan of. But definitely much respect to anyone compelled to show their support for Damar during a time like this.-

Perhaps they wait to see the results of next week's games to see if this game is necessary to determine playoff seeding. That said, it's hard to imagine a scenario where it isn't. I guess if the Chiefs and Bengals both lose next week and the Bills win, the Bills would lock up the #1 seed regardless of this game, but does that still leave the #2 vs. #3 seeds (KC vs. Cincy) in question and/or the AFC North championship (Cincy vs. Baltimore)? I don't have the time to run the scenarios....back to work. Continued thoughts and prayers for Hamlin.
If the Bills did lock up the 1 seed (would obviously need a KC loss too), maybe the NFL would assume Bills forfeit to Cincy, since the Bills’ seeding would not be dependent on that game. If the Bills don’t have the 1 seed locked up, NFL probably figuring they’ll cross that bridge when it gets here. -

i’m gonna come out and say it. This charity giving is dumb. Do people here actually think Damar Hamlin has a staff handling his toys for kids charity? Who do these people think is handling this money? While I don’t have a definitive answer, it is most assuredly Damar himself who, quite frankly, is a little busy at the moment.maybe people could just wait a hot second and let things settle down.
$1.1M and counting will help pay for a staff, don’t worry. Maybe you could wait a hot second and settle down.-

ABC in Rochester just said the team is still at the stadium, possibly staying at a hotel in the area tonight.

Near impossible.
The Bills winning one game seems impossible to you, LMAO -

Since the new playoff format started the one seed has been knocked out once in the divisional round, twice in the conference championship, and once in the Super Bowl. If it wasn't for the most inept 13 seconds of coaching I've ever seen we would've hosted the AFC Championship game as a 3rd seed. The two teams who've won the Super Bowl were a 5th seed and a 4th seed.
Does not getting the one seed make it much more difficult to reach and win the Super Bowl? Yes. Is the Bengals game a must win? No.
One of my favorites was when Marv Levy was asked whether a certain game was a must-win. To which he replied, “This is not a must-win. World War II was a must-win”.-

I’d be shocked if Oliver gets an extension before Edmunds. Beane HAS to make a decision on Edmunds this offseason or he’s gone. We still have the 5th year option on Oliver. Given Edmunds is entering his prime years and he’s having his best season, and is essentially the QB of the defense, I’d also be surprised if Beane and McD don’t do everything they can to retain his services.

Allen's passing prop lines are absurdly low for this game, wow. His numbers haven't been good lately but one thing that has always been consistent is that he shows up in prime time.
Over under passing yards 240.5
Over 1.5 TDs at -120
??????
Agree, hammer the overs. Opponent, game script and weather all should support Allen needing to throw for more yardage than less. Not to mention he shows up in prime time, like you said. -

Mahomes has three pro bowl O lineman. Josh Allen doesn't have that.
Burrow’s O-line isn’t anything to write home about, either. I’m ultimately not worried about narratives flying around about Mahomes or Burrow, versus Josh. If the Bills win on Monday night, everyone will be reminded of Josh’s greatness. The longer the Bills play into the playoffs, the longer the media will talk about Josh versus others that are bounced early. -
Cole is going to be our secret weapon for when we host the Chiefs and brutally blow them!

I think it is safe to say that the Bills are by FAR the most battle-tested team of 2022. Between the injuries, the weather, relocation, the compact schedule of 3 games and strength of schedule, they have weathered the storm. I would say the Chargers have also done an incredible job of getting through their injuries as well. Cinci for sure has had some nice victories and weathered their own storm when they lost Chase for 6 weeks.
That leads me to the Chiefs....Mahomes will always pose a threat but man, did this team get the breaks this year with the AFC West and now closing out the season with Broncos and Raiders (Minus Carr). The Chiefs are going to run into a brick wall when they eventually have to face a Bengals or Bills team in Round 2. If KC gets the 1 seed, their path will once again be the one of least resistance. We all know how big the Bengals game is Monday night and for me, it's going to be torture knowing what truly is on the line. It's going to feel like an AFC Championship game because I really feel it will foreshadow what happens in a month.
My main point of this thread is to point out that KC is going to get a pretty massive reality check in the playoffs and I really hope we are the ones to deliver it in Orchard Park.
Totally agree with your points. Hoping it doesn’t play out this way, but if the Chiefs do end up with the 1 seed, they might not get an ultimate reality check until the conference championship hosting either us or the Bengals. Let’s not let them off the hook so easy!-

I agree with you. But I think the media is dead set on making the face of the league Mahomes and Burrow and leaving Allen as an afterthought in the company of QBs like Lamar and Herbert. Allen is elite. There’s no question about that. The media just wants to push him back down for some reason
Allen making it to the SB over Mahomes or Burrow this season would force narratives to change. That’s one thing those guys have that he does not.-

I think the true test of whether these contracts are failures will be when their fanbases stop renewing season tickets and their revenue plummets. If you were a Broncos fan, how much would you pay to watch that crap?

I know it’s a pipe dream, but a perfect sequence this weekend would be Chiefs somehow lose to the Broncos, and then we beat the Bengals to clinch the 1 seed already. Isn’t Von big on speaking things into existence?

Thanks for the numbers. Well thought out but still its all relative and had variables that just can't be factored in. Such as weather, injuries, and match ups. That's really my point.
I believe your point is that the #1 seed is a huge advantage. I couldn't agree more. You are 100% correct. Playing one less game and being at home is obviously big! Anyone who thinks otherwise really isn't a knowledgeable football fan. With that said, it doesn't guarantee a Super Bowl appearance or even a playoff win. Look at last year as can example.
In concluding the #1 seed is a very big deal and advantage. Yet, if the Bills lose the #1 seed they still can represent the AFC. Each path is substantially different with different degrees of difficulty. Personally, I like the Bills chances of winning the AFC as the #1 seed. If they lose that seed it's very possible they might have to win in Cinci and in KC. I really don't like that.
Correct, that was my only point the whole time. CincyBillsFan had questioned you about how much the one seed really matters.-

Not sure about your percentages, but the extra week of rest and only having to play two games instead of three, with both at home, should be enough for anyone to see what a huge advantage it is...
Should be, but some need more spoon feeding than others.-

If it hasn’t been observed yet, one Robert Gronkowski has now donated to Damar’s charity. Surprisingly, his donation is $6,900.
