ganesh

It is more like (mis)reading of ESPN stats !. Thanks for pointing that out.

So well put. McDermott has changed the culture of this team; the environment at OBD earlier with Ryan and Maronne was very toxic. QBs such as Taylor and Manuel got a very raw deal and never were able to settle in to play the most important position.

Don't forget George Pickens with the Steelers. He is having a stand out rookie season. He has been un-coverable just like Wilson. Once both teams have a good enough QB these two are going to be shining lights of the NFL

bizarre endings is something we seem to get one every year... 2 years ago it was the Hail Murray ending Last year, it was 13 seconds and the 4th and 1 at the Titans one yard line This year we have had the Fumble at 1 yard instead of icing the game.

Got overly excited !!!! Wanted to say there was a difference of 20 TDs....but in that excitement wrote down 200.... I mean it is not Mahome's fault that he did not get a chance to play his first season. Both QBs have been impressive in their own ways. Now they need to go win multiple Super Bowls to show case that they are the best QBs of this era (possibly along with Burrow and Herbert)

should have written as 2 games by less than a TD (the other two games were by a TD or a TD + 2 Pts). The Bills have beaten Miami, KC, Browns, Titans , Jets just like the Bengals. The Bills also have beaten the Steelers and Ravens - Both of whom the Bengals lost (and won against steelers in 2nd game). If you look at common opponents, it is fairly a wash. Both teams are evenly matched and both are going through the Ups and Downs during the regular season. The Bengals started 0-2 whereas the Bills started 2-0......Then the Bills lost two straight in the middle of their season. The Bengals only blowout win is against the Panthers. This will be a very close game and whoever has the ball for the final drive will win the game.

It starts at 6:45 AM for me (India) and usually means I have to WFH on those days skipping my 8 AM and 9 AM calls !! Go Bills !

Injuries on the OL has been catching up with this team. Dawkins, Morse and Spencer (all starting linemen) have missed multiple games during this period. The Bills have to overcome that on a daily basis. The same goes on the defense....Von Miller, Oliver, Edmunds, Milano, Poyer, Phillips, Rosseau - All have been missing games through the season.

Actually seeing Cook and Hines in the same backfield will be lot of fun with the speed they have. Cook/Hines/Diggs/Davis/Knox could be a lethal combination as long as the OL can block.

It is really maddening that people keep calling Tua a limited QB. The guy has delivered everything asked of him by this team. The guy has a 105. Quarterback rating through the season. Limited QBs don't put up statistics as Tua has done. Before their 4 straight losses, the guy had the best record in the AFC.

I believe Miami lost its 1st round pick due to "Tampering" charges against Tom Brady. THe 2nd 1st rounder was traded for Chubb.

17 years of the Bills ineptitude will do that to you! The Bills had a great chance to host the AFCG last year.....only 13 seconds separated them from hosting the Bengals!

Edmunds will be a FA and Oliver will be playing out his fifth year (and may hold out for a new contract). Poyer is also in the last year of his contract and Hyde is coming back from a serious Neck injury. The Bills will have plenty of holes and very little cap space to move around unless Diggs, Miller and Allen restructure their contracts.

And people keep forgetting the number of injuries we have had this season. In that week 3 Miami game, we did not have Poyer, Hyde, White, Ed Oliver, Phillips and Mitch Morse. That is 7 starters missing in a divisional showdown on the road.

Just to give a sense of the difference: Mahomes in his 78 games (5+ seasons) has a total of 188 Passing TD and 12 Rushing TDs. (Total: 200) Josh in his 76 games (5th season) has a total of 135 Passing TD and 45 Rushing TDs. (Total: 200) Comparing by the number of games played (rather than seasons) gives a better perspective of where they are in their career. They are two different players that know to win in their own ways.

Their last 5 games scorecard: Bengals 22, Patriots 18 Bengals 34, Buccaneers 23 Bengals 23, Browns 10 Bengals 27, Chiefs 24 Bengals 20, Titans 16 Three of the 5 games are by less than a TD. In the same period, the Bills scores Bills 35, Chicago 13 Bills 32, Miami 29 Bills 20 NYJ. 12 Bills 24. NE 10 Bills 28, Detroit 25 Bills 31, Browns 23 Only one game is by less than a TD. Granted that the games against the Jets and Detroit were lot closer...However, the Jets and Lions came into Orchard Park with their own hot streak. Also, divisions games are never easy. Do the Bills have issues and do they need fix them - absolutely. However, they are also 12-3 and top of the AFC. Go Bills !

so true. Go Bills!

I can see Sean Peyton coming into that situation very easily. He likes a veteran QB (who has won a SB) and could milk 3-4 years out of Wilson. THey have a stellar defense and a running game.

Correct/. I think it is now the Jets and Dolphins playoff spots to lose.

The red ones were beautiful with the snow background. They should use it only for winter games.

A fourth place finish last year in the NFC East also helped with an easy schedule.

If Singletary continues his good play into the playoffs, then his stock is going to rise and he will not be affordable by the Bills.

Peyton goes to a team which already has a franchise QB..like the Chargers

I agree..Tua is a good QB that is developing. He is having a season similar to what Josh had when he went 10-6 but lost to good teams. I see the Dolphins making the playoff but not being able to go deep (like that Bills team choking against the Texans).

You have to thank the Pegulas, Beane, McDermott and Allen for that.
