I get the play…you make the 1st it’s kneel downs and you win. A punt might mean the ball moves 17 yards down the field. They were also up by 7. they got the ball and wanted to burn the clock.

2024 and 2025 positional Afc west at afc east 2026 divisional match up so kc at buffalo the schedule cycle runs through 2025. starting in 2026 they could switch team pairs in positional games so right now buf- Mia is a pair and kc-LAC is a pair. Switching pairs could change hime/ road pattern. In 2009 they switched team pairs in the nfc west which resulted in buffalo playing st Seattle in 2004, then in buffalo 2008 and 2012, at seattle in 2026, at buffalo in 2020, at Seattle in 2024. there also has bern some talk in changing structure like going to just one conference of 16 teams and then only conf winner gets bye and thrn teams may play more teams in conference just once a year.

It alternate 2023 placement nfc at afc 2024 afc at nfc 2025 afc at nfc 2026 nfc at afc

bills win Super Bowl…it’s likely hosting jets. I don’t see any playoff rematches occurring in that game. 49ers and Chiefs home games on 425 or national TV. Lions game rematch on Turkey day?would they move it to nbc though? I wouldn’t be surprised if Seattle and Rams games on consecutive weeks with one on Thursday night.

Monday night must be a 4 vs 5 match up because the schedule opponents is set after Sunday nights game where the MNF winner plays on Sunday. 2/7 and 3/6 winners determine 4/5 opponent. Monday night winner WILL play on Sunday the next weekend it was eagles at bucs or browns at Texans. Given abc did the Texans they probably wanted the nfc game.

Updated the playoff order but it’s based on when they exit the playoffs by weekend then sort within.

Atlanta fired coach…

Should Bills fans thank the Titans… they beat the Fins in dramatic fashion ( Levi’s QB) today beating Jags ( Tannehill qb)

The first pick…the play before was an uncalled mugging. Likely mean a TD. The second pick on 4th down not a big deal. Cook TD drop cost 7 the turnover on sack cost 3. this could have been 38-14

Interesting to see what happens in the QB market. Chicago and Arizona trade Fields and Murray respectively? Who is a QB away that might trade for them? Giants, Pats, Falcons, Broncos? who drafts a QB high in round 1 ? Bears, Pats, Commanders, Cardinals, Giants?

1 Carolina ( traded to Chicago ) 2 Washington 3 New England 4 Arizona 5 LA chargers 6 NY Giants 7 Tennessee 8 Atlanta 9 Chicago 10 NY Jets 11 Minnesota 12-13 Denver/Las Vegas ( coin flip) 14 New Orleans 15 Indianapolis 16 Seattle 17 Jacksonville 18 Cincinnati teams are sorted by worse record/ worse strength of schedule/ coin flip 19-24 Wild card losers 25-28 Division losers 29-30 Conference losers 31 Super Bowl loser 32 Super Bowl winner The playoff team order as of right now… 19 Green Bay 20 Tampa bay 21 Houston 22 LA Rams 23 Pittsburgh 24 Miami 25 Buffalo 26/27 Philadelphia / Kansas City ( coin flip if exit same weekend ) 28 Cleveland 29 Dallas 30 Detroit 31 San Francisco 32 Baltimore the above teams grouped have same record. Those picks orders rotate by draft New Orleans pick high in thst group will drop to the bottom in that group in round 2. to be determined ( traded pick) Cleveland pick —> Houston Houston pick —> Arizona

Head coach changes Panthers fired Reich Chargers fired Staley vegas fired coach— HIRED PIERCE ( had interim title) Belicheat leaving Pats ??? —HIRED MAYO Commanders fired Rivera Atlanta fired coach Vrabel out as head coach in Tenn. —HIRED Bengals OC Callahan Dallas keeps McCarthy ( short rope, first coach fired?) —- Pete Carroll in Seattle is stepping aside and being an advisor. —Tomlin is not under contract after next season. Could he step away/ take a break Alabama has a HC vacancy….the cicada flew off sfter 17 years. HIRE— Jerod Mayo hired by Patriots

I don’t recall…are you part of fire coach threads?

Colts have the tiebreaker because colts beat Texans earlier in the year. game tied colts in 1st jax tie/ win they get division.

You could go with a rotating 8 team division. you play H-H against each for 14 games with 2 byes Round 1 division winner gets a bye. Then 2-7, 3-6,4-5 play each other in round 2 of playoffs round 2 is top team and 3 survivors round 3 is quarterfinals in a bracket where 2 division teams won’t meet again until Super Bowl round 4 semifinals round 5 Super Bowl

If they did such a format….it’s more likely going to be… 2 16 team conferences you play 12 or 13 of the 15 teams with a pre-set cycle of what 2/3 teams you don’t play over a 6/5 yr period then you play 4-5 games against NFC teams on a set rotation for 8 yrs. The 5th game could be a “ rivalry” game such as cross city/ state rivals and Super Bowl rematch’s, conf finals losers face each other.

GO TIE

Why is Buffalo airing jets-cheats game??? This is utterly meaningless. Tampa bay is playing for something st least.

hoe buffalo in first meeting did stuff to limit what Miami did limiting them to 20 points. Buffalo didn’t run up the score. Buffalo exposed the Eagles defense thst other teams have repeatedly done that they have yet to adjust. yes— all teams are researched for tendencies in situations and plays by formation. With some..thry don’t care and say try to stop us.

as a #2 or #6 or #7? as #2….. host Indy/ hou Mia at KC cle at south if Mia can best KC …think it’s possible, buffalo host 4/5. 50/50 shot at hosting championship game if KC wins, buf host them.CLE would be problem for balt. Buffalo could host CLE. as #7 seed…BUF/MIA rematch, then to BAL, then at whose left. This could be harder.

Saturday #6 /7 at Lions ( nbc) #5 browns at AFC South ( peastream) Sunday #7 at #2 AFC #7 /6 at NFC East #6 at Chiefs Monday eagles/cowboys at nfc south DIVISION Saturday At Ravens Other NFC game Sunday At AFC 2nd highest seed NFC 5/ 4 winner vs ???

sigh…… for a 53 man roster….. 23 offense — 2 QB, 3 RB, 9 OL, 5 WR, 3 TE , 1 wildcard position. 23 Defense — 8 DL, 1, DE/LB, 4 LB, 9 DBs, 1 wildcard position P K LS 2 ST captains 2 other spots ( 1 is usually a K/P returner) if that ST captain is a FB so be it.

AWS did not program the games. the “national” games are set before the schedule is filled out. Thr “ national” games sre those on nbc, espn, Amazon, 425 feature games, and thanksgiving/ Saturday games, as well as international games. Others are plugged in as blocks like you see weekends you might have 3 games in east/ central/ north at west team set for the same weekend….this isn’t the luck of computing. They have a set of 120 team pairs they can choose from. the computational complexity makes it difficult to run programs to do.

Similar to why MVP=best QB. the fact he almost died and didn’t retire, but return to play, speaks much more than stats.

Again…. buffalo splits WL to get to 10 wins they can’t have 2 other WC teams at 10 wins other than Cleveland snd thrmselbes. the teams that can get to 10 wins by WW are Cincinnati. At KC, CLE Pittsburgh at SEA, at BAL Jacksonville CAR ( without Lawrence Sunday), at TEN houston/ Indy where only 1 can due to thrm playing each other in week 18. This week houston has Ten, indy has raiders both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh have difficult closing schedules to go WW in. If MIA W, then BAL/CLE are battling for div title and these games are at the same time likely on different networks. IF JAX L, then only the div winner could have 10 W
