Bengals would need a lot of help to get in. They have to win and both teams in front of them have to lose.
If all 3 teams lose, Broncos get in.
I think the Chargers might be able to give the Ravens a run for their money...
That is not a lot...just three things to go their way (Win against Steelers and get help from KC and Jets).

I think there is some interest in having Bernard, Milano, and Williams in against certain looks.
does this take Johnson out of the line up ? That will make the back four weaker. Johnson means so much to this scheme.
The Bills defense has pigeon holed its players to the scheme and neither one is flexible.

I have zero confidence in this defense and the guy running it when it comes to the playoffs. The turnover luck will have to continue and Josh will continue to have zero margin for error for the Bills to have a chance. It's a big ask.
Playoffs are always tight...The best of the best are playing in it with high stakes. There is minimal to no margin for error.

I'm hoping McD takes over play-calling for the playoffs. I get wanting to give Babich his chance to prove himself, but it's crunch time and Babich isn't getting any HC'ing jobs next year.
Trust your process and people and the product will be better.

While the best teams usually make it to the divisional round, I don’t think the best always move on from there. Most games come down to a few plays here and there , and you only need to be better on that day. It’s not like a series in other sports where the best team usually prevails. I think the beauty of the playoff is that you just need to get in, and there have been plenty of surprising results in the NFL playoffs over the years.
Very rarely though. Most of the teams that win the divisional round are the favorites for the SuperBowl from their conference. The Wildcard round may throw up a few surprises as the not-so-hot division winners get taken out... Can the Chargers beat the bumbling-and-fumbling Texans in the Wild card...absolutely. However, do the Chargers have a good chance to beat the Chiefs - more than unlikely. The odds are against them.

We have arrived at a very predictable point in the season. Nothing the rest of the way is nearly so Predictable. We are two weeks away from big boy season.
This year looks different. Agreed it is the regular season. But the way the team is playing looks more like the AFC Divisional game against the Chiefs three seasons ago. Does it have problems...100%....but is it ready....Absolutely.
The beauty of the playoff, especially the divisional round, is that the games are played by the best teams through the season. The "any-given-sunday" goes out the window. Truly the best teams move on to the next stage.
Go Bills !!!

I'm not sure Carr is that much of an upgrade.
Carr would have been an upgrade in the sense that he would be been a better team mate and got better results from Wilson and Hall.
Rodgers selfish instinct showed even on that first drive on the final 3rd down incomplete pass. He kept staring at the receiver and throwing expletives at him.

Darnold has a real OL in front of him at Minnesota. The Jets historically have ignored building the OL or have not been successful with it. Any QB will get killed behind that weak OL

Winning the division would probably be the closest.
It is such a pure football moment observed threw his face.
Agreed
1st step - making the playoffs (Jax, Houston)
2nd step - winning the division and getting a home playoff game. (Colts)
3rd step - Winning a wild card game (Colts)
4th step - getting past the Divisional round (Baltimore)
5th step - Winning the AFCC
6th step - Winning the Lombardi
Hopefully, we can accomplish 5th and 6th in 2024-25
Go Bills !!!

Dude what a great time, it was a nice way to close out the regular season at home.
The stadium is obviously rough, and now instead of showing replays they just post a giant Fanduel banner on the old big screen, I think Pegulas 12 year old grandkid is running the AV program over there. And no flyover again after the national anthem, somehow they can't seem to coordinate that one either. Once in awhile they figure it out. Bathrooms, food, its definitely the worst stadium in the NFL but I still love it just for all the memories we've had there and what it represents.
And despite all of that, all you need is a friendly fan base, great qb and some defensive action and its a fkin blast every time, rain or shine, warm or cold.
This year would have been great for the fans at the stadium as we went 8-0...Not a single game where the fans are down after the game....It is truly a great time to be a Bills fan and to be at that stadium.
My own experience of watching Bills game in other stadiums - I am 4-0 in all of them....lucky me...

I think the Dolphins are the weakest of the three teams in contention.
The Bengals have a high powered offense that is on a historic pace and our defense will have difficulty with keeping them contained
The Broncos have a top defense and are also experienced playing in the cold weather. They are also coached by a Super Bowl winning coach.
The Dolphins are in a disarray with health question marks against Tua and Waddle - two of their top talent on the offense. Their defense has been average. Finally, they do not enjoy playing in the cold weather.
Looking at all aspects, we should be rooting for the Dolphins to win and the Broncos to lose.

This makes a huge assumption that KC believes that Burrow will go to Orchard Park and beat the Bills. You are a sad Bills fan !!! Go Bills !!!
1 hour ago, Boatdrinks said:I could see it, but I don’t think KC wants the Bengals in the playoffs. Why let a top QB in when you can rest everyone and get a rookie QB in there?
If Denver or Bengals make the playoffs, they have to first get past the Bills... I don't believe KC is going to assume that either of those two teams will go to Buffalo and beat the Bills...
The Chiefs are going to be prepared for Baltimore to be coming to Orchard park first.

IMO, Dorsey's biggest issue were being new to calling plays and inheriting diminished talent on offense. He's probably JAG as an OC but he gets WAY too much criticism. His 2022 offense put up the same yards per play as this 2024 one and rushed for more than a half yard more per attempt. WITH Rodger Saffold at LG.
Dorsey realized the changes they needed to make prior to his firing and they began implementing them in the Tampa game. Then McDermott tried to run his defense off the field on the FG attempt against Denver.....lost the game as a result.......and a change absolutely had to be made somewhere. Brady was the logical choice and I think he's done a fine job. But the idea that the approach Brady implemented only happened because he got the job is false, IMO.
It was obvious even to casual fans that they didn't have the horses outside to be a vertical passing attack. The improvement of the OL, the maturation of Shakir, Cook and Ty Johnson, the drafting of Kincaid and Coleman in back to back years, Knox being healthy and the trade for Cooper have given Brady more to work with.
But the big thing is Josh Allen has finally embraced taking what the defense gives him. There were some mind-numbing losses in 2022-2023 just because Allen did something stupid you wouldn't see him do now.
And I am reluctant to give Brady much credit for that because of the utter cluelessness Brady displayed at the end of that Chiefs divisional loss last year. That and the trick play in Baltimore are among the dumbest GD play calls in key moments I've ever seen by a Bills OC. I worry that Brady gets stupid and tries to be the hero in big moments that call for more of what's been working. And perhaps that's due to his HC ambitions.
The difference is in the "scoring". This Bills offense is a scoring machine.

Cook needs 19 more rushing yards and yes the 1 more TD. I think that first drive with Josh and the starters is ALL about getting Cook his 19 yards and hopefully 1 more TD and to keep Josh’s start streak going. Then to the bench they go.
sounds about right. There are no other milestones (that deserves their playing time) to hit.

I dunno man... I think you need to just acknowledge you were wrong at this point and leave it at that.
Regardless, Von was really brought in as the "closer" for the playoffs. Let's see what he accomplishes there
And this is the first post-season where he is available completely healthy. Hoping for a break out playoffs by Von. Go Bills !!!

The OPs point was not about ranking teams but showing that why Josh should be the MVP as he single handedly beat the top two teams in the league. Go Bills !!!

That's why I don't love this. This game means nothing - I'd love to see all of the top guys have a week off.
But they'll all have to play as long as Allen does. Hopefully just a few handoffs to get the start.
Why? I think Allen can play with backup OL and backup WRs.

The Bills need to play Mike White at QB, no sense in getting our #2 injured in a meaningless game.
The Bills will start Josh Allen, to keep his continuous start streak alive...I believe he has 113 straight starts. I believe they did the same a few years ago against the Jets...where he started and played the first series before giving way to the backup.

Vrabel didn't accomplish anything in Nashville.

They are looking good.
Draft picks can also be traded for established players.
$132M...that is mind boggling....That team is devoid of talent

Holy crap, we agree 😂
Brady gets an abnormal level of credit for Josh creating. I have no clue what our production is in the scheme itself but it’s not something I feel stands out in some extraordinary way.
It’s the first time in Allen’s career he has had an OC that wanted him to drive the speed limit instead of 100 miles an hour. Allen never needed a system to be aggressive. He needed a system to force short throws and throws to the RB’s and staying on schedule. That is what Brady deserves credit for the most. He’s harnessed Allen’s talent.
100% agreed...and it shows up on the stats sheet where the RBs have dominated.

I'm pre-emptively annoyed at Lamar getting another chance to compile stats on a standalone game against a bad opponent, while Josh Allen sits in week 18, and then NFL analysts, talking heads, fans, and MVP voters not taking into consideration WHY it is that Josh is sitting and Lamar is still playing.
Ugh.I don't think the week 18 is going to matter. Most of the people voting for the MVP have already made their mind based on their bias...A week 18 stat is not going to change their mind (and it shouldn't as they should look at the whole body of work).
-
Week 18 is going to be amazing...so many storylines...
Baltimore and Pittsburgh playing for the 3rd seed
Denver going into KC to get the #7 seed.
Dolphins trying to beat the Jets and hoping for a miracle in mile high city
Who is going to work hard to lose their final game...Giants or the Patriots with the Patriots controlling their destiny to land the top pick in the 2025 draft.
And closing out the regular season on SNF where the Lions and Vikings will fight for the #1 seed or the #6 seed; somewhat similar to what the Bills and Dolphins went through last season in the final week.
Exciting week 18 is on the cards. Go Bills !!!

The owner is the problem. As long as Johnson owns them, they will continue to suck. What good GM/HC who will have options will choose the Jets and work for an owner who always meddles in the football decisions.
Why is the owner at fault here..unless he pushed Rodgers on Saleh and Douglas.

Man we're going to rest starters next week, but that's the one game needed to sweep the division.
The Patriots are also likely to tank so that they can keep the top pick in the draft.

MVP JA17. This talk about Barkley is silly. He is a great player but that line is the reason he is close to the record. Let alone if he gets the record its with one more game than Dickerson played.
I am sure the same argument will apply to the Bills OL. They have been amazing and extremely solid. They have opened massive holes for James Cook to have a career year and for Josh to sit in the pocket and pick the defense apart.

Bills fans will not decide the fate of McDermott. That decision lies with Terry Pegula. Yes, the conversation is somewhat pointless for that reason.
Of course everyone knows that...The point of a message board is for fans to share their opinions and discuss the good, bad, ugly of it. Otherwise, what is the point?

McDermott isn't getting fired even if we got blown out in the wild card round. So, I hope your fingers don't hurt from typing all that. Because it was a waste of time
But would Pegula insist on him bringing a DC with a better scheme....Would Schwartz come here as DC ?
I don't know if yesterday's defensive performance was because we played well or if the Jets offense sucked ?
UPDATED!!! Sunday Jan 5th Up to the minute NFL Playoff Picture and Scenarios

Steelers at 5 would be really good....they can take care of the Texans and if the Chargers knock of the Ravens, then we will have the Steelers coming to Buffalo... (assuming Buffalo takes care of 7).
So many possibilities
