Why can’t we kick it in the end zone like every team.

If that’s true, you have Joseph active and make Ford inactive.

Mahomes is turnover-prone.

Phillips is IR, eligible to return in the divisional round of the playoffs… Bills To Place DT Jordan Phillips On IR December 21st, 2023 at 10:35am CST • By Sam Robinson Suffering a dislocated wrist in the Bills’ dominant win over the Cowboys, Jordan Phillips expressed hope he could return for a playoff run. If the team is to qualify for the postseason, Phillips will not be available to start that journey. The Bills are placing the veteran defensive tackle on IR on Thursday, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reports. Phillips will be sidelined for the final three regular-season games and Buffalo’s playoff opener, should the team continue its recent form into a postseason berth.

The original post is downright cringy. I just spent all weekend watching all kinds of “how could the team with more to play for not beat/throttle/blowout the lesser team” games, many of which the lesser team won (helping the Bills along the way). Curious how Chiefs, Jags, and Colts fans are feeling. Brutally ugly losses against inferior opponents. This is the NFL. Find a way to win and enjoy the ride. Enough of the desire for style points - it’s tiring and delusional. There are no AP pollsters to please. Who cares.

Someone made the comment how Bills’ wideouts haven’t made a lot of contested catches this year. I kind of wrote it off as fans watching too many Justin Jefferson highlights. I started watching all of these random AFC playoff bubble teams more closely (instead of just for fantasy relevance). Higgins is a freak - he’s made more contested catches in the last few weeks for Browning than the Bills’ skill players have had the entire season. Sounds hyperbolic, but he’s insane. He is just so physical and strong…

Tee Higgins, who is among the most impressive wideouts I’ve see this year. He has made Jake Browning look look productive. Just the number of impossible, contested catches is insane. He and Allen would be poetry. He is still only 24. We would have to restructure every contract on the roster, but he’d be worth it! He’s a beast and he is going to be an alpha-1 for someone next year.

if Jake Elliott doesn’t hit a 59-yarder in the driving rain, we are back in the playoffs in your world. We can do this all day. Who cares.

Honestly, Easton Stick impressed me yesterday. Mobile, strong arm, pretty accurate, 6’4” 220 pounds. He’s an UFA this offseason. I think he’d be a good fit as Josh’s backup - very similar style. Wouldn’t have to change the playbook. That’d be a good get relative to others we have slotted in at #2 in recent years.

They aren’t compiling the requisite style points to get in.

Shakir call doesn’t get reversed, Allen I think would have been at 250-275 total yards and 4 TD (total). Awfully close.

Anyone think Shakir wasn’t actually touched down (speaking of impossible Josh throws)? I thought it was so bang-bang, that they maintain the call the field.

That Morse penalty kept computer assistance on for the Chargers.

The fact that they closed out both the Chiefs and Chargers on the road… I think they will need to flex that muscle come playoff time. And, they are doing it with a decimated defense. Why did Von take Floyd’s snaps? Von still can’t get any burst off that knee. He looks like an old man trying to outside rush, and he can’t spin.

I’m 48 and I remember the Kelly bills having tight sphincter games all the time. I think they clinched the 88 division title against a bad Jets team in Orchard Park, 9-6. I don’t recall desiring style points. All I know is that after the Denver loss, I was certain they were missing the playoffs. This feels like bonus time right now. Just keep finding a way.

What made me have to walk to the kitchen is, after the refs imploded that drive, there was a block in the back right in front of the official at the point of the return… no call. This officiating is just all over the place. It must be exhausting for the players.

You get a boost in the ESPN weekly rankings, which means a lot to people.

We blew out the Cowboys last week, who blew out the Eagles the week before. The Niners lost in Cleveland to PJ Walker earlier this year. If Watson were healthy, he’d be on the street right now.

This times 100. That Morse call was horrific. I’ve had about enough of the officiating altering games this year.

It’s like you are watching the NFL for the first time. You have never seen a maligned home team play inspired football for an interim head coach? Maybe relax and enjoy it. Other than the officiating, the NFL is an entertaining product.

Just win baby

Big Game Gabe! Let’s go!!!

If you can catch Playoff Lenny, you can catch greased lightning.

He had that knowing smirk throughout the interview. The one that Brady had and I’d think “sh*t, they are going to win it all (again).”

I’m sorry, there is no chance they go 11-6 and miss the playoffs. I don’t care what absurd, needle-thread scenario one comes up with. It’s not going to happen. The notion that just Miami wins at home this weekend AND on the road at Baltimore, after coming up small in every big game this year… and we aren’t even talking about the other 8-6 bubble teams that are all playing backup qb’s right now. I reject it.
