    I don’t see them resting their starters. The starters they don’t play will have a three week gap from when they last played until their first playoff game. 

    I 100% agree here.  I also don't think they want to hand anyone, especially the Steelers, a potential playoff spot.  I think the thought of a 3-week layoff will be too much, and they won't want to risk being risky come playoff time.

    I don't get how we have better odds than Denver, but I'll trust it because it's what I want to hear! 😁

     

    But can someone explain WHY our odds are higher? Denver's remaining schedule is:

     

    1. Lions (Away)

    2. Patriots (Home)

    3. Chargers (Home)

    4. Raiders (Away) 

    Opponent Record 22-30

     

    Versus Buffalo's:

     

    1. Cowboys (Home)

    2. Chargers (Away)

    3. Patriots (Home)
    4. Dolphins (Away)

    Opponent Record: 27-25

     

    We both have a 4-5 Conference Record, but they've got the head-to-head tie breaker...

     

    ESPN even has us with a 24% chance to win our division and Denver only a 7% chance... despite them only being 1 game behind the 8-5 Chiefs in the West. We're sitting 2 games behind the Dolphins, so are our chances higher because we could sweep the Dolphins & the Broncos only split with KC? What am I missing?!?! 


    Probably taking into account, since Denver has been on a hot streak, they will cool with 2 losses - Det and 1 other.

    The Dolphins board brought up a point (yes, I hate to credit them anything, and take it with a grain of salt)

     

    The Dolphins had been putting their man into motion right before the snap. And it works wonders because it caused confusion with assignments.

     

    McDermott looked at this trend and realized it was a better cue than a snap count and used that the time rushers, meaning that whoever was coming on a blitz had a jump. With that, whenever the first read wasn't there Tua was rushed and made bad calls. 

     

    That part can be replicated, though I am sure that McDaniel can start using motion more conventionally.

     

    But a big part is the zone that the Bills play and the trust that we have in our back end to limit the big play. Hill and Waddle were each held to under 60 yard with no touchdowns. That's hard to do. 

     

    The Bills D gameplan reminds quite a bit of the Mid 90's Steelers Zone Blitz scheme that ended up giving Jim Kelly and Company serious problems.

    Fans, players and his own coaches bashing him is not a good look. You are going to drive him out of town. He is the best QB we ever had imo, definitely since Jim Kelly. I blame the coaches, we need an offensive minded head coach. Imagine if Kyle Shannan had Josh Allen, we need a guy like that. That’s the only way we will finally get that Super Bowl, defense doesn’t win championships anymore. McDermott has to go!

    The same Kyle Shanahan who, while an OC for Atlanta, calls a pass on 3rd and 2 vs. running against the Pats to close the Super Bowl out??????

  5. I have a feeling that the Bills FO and maybe even McDermott is somehow driving an "overlook the Bills" campaign.  Either way, I'm fine with the Bills being overlooked and, sometimes, getting dissed by local and national media.  On paper, this roster is stacked and better than 2022. 

    Additionally, I think we all fail to remember in 2022 the Bills dealt injuries to key players.  Hopefully, we avoid the injury bug this season.

    Yes, the cap hit will suck, but it's not like the Bills lost Nick Bosa or Matthew Judon.

     

    He was playing at a Jerry Hughes level.  A great player, but on the downward slope of his career. 

     

    This is survivable and I don't think it hurts the Bills Superbowl chances much if at all.

     

    Now excuse me while I pull my on flame resistant suit. 

     

    I 100% Agree!  While he will be missed, I am beyond confident with the D Lineman we have.

    He’s the best player on that defense IMO and he’s going to get a monster contract in a few years - like $150M type contract.  He’s an absolute game wrecker.  I could not be higher on him .

    Agree.  He was the best D lineman tonight.  Was really great to see all the young D Line studs own the line of scrimmage

       Let’s not forget we are 4-1 ( should be 5-0, thanks NFL screwjob) while going through a serious slew of injuries while playing the toughest part of our schedule.

       If karma/kismet/ the football gods deign to let us get healthy going into the playoffs this will be remembered as the most magical of seasons.

    4-1 seems right.  We could go back n forth on the Ravens game with plays that worked in our favor.  Looking at the schedule, I'll take 4-1 all day long.

    That said, as the roster overall health continues to get better and we don't suffer any major / significant go forward injury, frankly this roster has a chance to be one of the best ever.

  9. Agree on the assessment of the Defense.  100%.

    Candidly - watch JA17 close.  Even with the video game stats he is putting up, "something" appears subtly off.  I count a number of throw's where he is just not setting his feet.  Last week at the goal line to McKenzie and the throw falls short.  Yesterday a couple throws including the lob to Dawson Knox, that actually worked out.  Additionally, even though he rolled out and ran for a touchdown, he appears to be lacking the "quick spark quickness" that we are used to seeing the last few years.

    Not being overly critical, just sharing a few observations.

    I know he’s competitive, but have opportunities for head coaching gigs bypassed him because of concerns over his mental health?

    I mean, that tantrum was something I’d expect from a 3-year-old who can’t get their way-not an adult in a high profile profession.  
    That was truly bizarre. 
    Almost as curious was the complete lack of surprise or acknowledgement from the 2 guys next him. They didn’t even glance his direction during the tirade- as if it wasn’t the first time they’d witnessed it. 

    Completely ridiculous......and now he is the subject of an everlasting gif.

    The Dolphins (And Tua) look good, the Bills will do good just to split. The Pats will plod along, and not be an easy win. The Jets are better, and if Wilson matures, will not be sure win. The Bills sweeping the east is over!  

    Miami took advantage of a Rookie D Coordinator and Ravens Secondary Youth.  JA17 will do the same when he gets his hands on the Ravnes in 2 weeks.  Miami has improved, but lets not over react to yesterday's MIA - BAL score just yet.

    Belichick is one of the greatest defensive minds to ever coach the sport, but he’s only had two winning seasons without Tom Brady (someone correct me if I’m wrong). 
    Having arguably the greatest QB to ever play the game will elevate any coach to a higher tier and to rub salt in the wound, Brady won the Super Bowl on an entirely different team the very year after he left the Patriots!

     

    As great as Belichick’s contributions are to the game, he owes Brady his “god-like” status as HC. I think Belichick is a much better defensive coordinator than he ever was a GM or HC.

    If we include the 2008 season when Brady was injured for the year in the opening game, then 3 seasons without Brady as QB - 1994, 2008, 2021
