Trying to plan for the worst and expecting a Billsy loss Sunday night. A win, and I’ll be pleasantly surprised. As for McD, I think his strength will always be his level of preparation prior to a game. Once the game begins, it’s a matter of how far that will carry the team through a game, among other factors. This is as good a year as any, to see if what he brings to the table can take this team to the next level.

The great thing is, by game time, we all will know for sure the circumstances. Regardless of the circumstances, Bills will have lots of incentive to win and earn the 2 seed.

100% this. I’d be shocked if any key Baltimore player played more than a series or two, if at all. All the reasons you listed for resting guys heavily outweigh any reasoning of either not wanting to be rusty OR having some vendetta against the Steelers. We knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs a few years back, so by similar reasoning, they’d just as much want to keep us out of the dance. Not to mention Josh is way more of a threat than Kenny Pickett / Mason Rudolph.

I hope you’re joking. It was a stupid analogy to use, if that’s even what he was trying to do. Plenty of other historical examples of top tier communication and preparation that he could have used to make his point, versus one of the worst attacks against our country in its history. Besides that situation though, the team does seem to have rallied since the Tyler Done article came out.

Agreed. Will tell me how much I need to drink on Sunday lol….

If it’s no advantage, they should be willing to switch sides for a game. 😎

Well they won’t be able to rely on the sun beating up their opponents during the game now Yep, am I correct that if we win, the 7 seed either needs to be Colts, Texans or Steelers? The latter depending on the Jags game, like you said?

Fins have a lot of incentive to get the 2 seed though and potentially keep us out of the dance/2 seed. They would not want to come back to Buffalo in January for the AFCCG.

Even if it isn’t do or die for us, which I don’t want it to be, the 2 seed is on the line. Huge implications either way.

What interest rate did you get on the loan? 😝 Prices were looking pretty steep when I looked earlier.

Agreed, I think better chance of Titans winning than Ravens backups.

Would you rather face Josh Allen for the 1st time this season, or Kenny Pickett/Mason Rudolph for a 3rd time?

BB telling him you better win this season, or I’m coming for your job 😎

I guarantee they’d prefer the Steelers in the playoffs instead of us though

Hopefully the Bills are in the NFL’s script this year. I don’t understand how the guy can report to the ref, the ref go and report it to the Cowboys, and then a flag gets thrown. There were enough witnesses on the Lions side to know if the player reported (which he must have given the video). It would be interesting to know when the ref ran over to the Cowboys side, if anyone heard anything or not. Of course the Cowboys would prob say they heard nothing, and to not implicate themselves for why the guy got open for the 2 points. It’d be shocking if a Cowboys player admitted otherwise.

Right, whatever it was, she must have DESERVED to be body slammed 😬

It’s been 30 years since we’ve been in the Super Bowl. Marv knows now is the time!

Josh getting pulled halfway through 2nd quarter of the Super Bowl, in lieu of Kyle friggen Allen. After all, Terry is cheap!

Honoring Robert Kraft’s favorite massage parlor, I like it. Gotta throw in some shots of Baileys tomorrow, in honor of their QB.

I did not even remember Collinsworth was in the booth with those guys at one time. Talk about three guys I cannot stand.

PFF is really top notch
