the official scoring was a Bad snap fumble which gives as a running loss, not a sack by Watt

Thry wanted buffalos other 1st in the deal because they knew the teams wanted a QB. When teams want a QB teams raise prices that go about trade value charts. buffalo wanted to hold that other 1st so they gave up the 2 2nds in Seattle Josh would have sat for 1-2 yrs. they would not have traded Wilson and gone with Allen as a rookie. in any trade up Thry would have had to give up their 1st the following year at least ( they were drafting around 27). Thry go with a rookie the pick becomes a top 10-12 pick.

the reason is nytimes is a national paper. They don’t invest in local sports beyond what would be considered their local market subscribers. ny times has reports who live in the top 50 cities ( all have pro sports teams). It’s a cost/ benefit move of possibly going into local market journalism thus many tines could compete somewhat in a local market driving local subscriptions with a local page of new stories done by a sports team, snd local team of reporters.

Then there was Dickerson and Herschel walker

don’t buy it. Not at all. Trubisky was drafted the prior year. Why does chicago acquire a vet QB ? I could see Seattle considering a move of trading up and then moving Wilson after that season. Allen split the scouts. I’m sure every team had sone that loved him and others were hell no …on the same team.

Big difference based on buffalo is actually in the state. New York state could prevent big 10 from doing a football game or basketball tournament in anywhere in NT because they don’t have a team in this state.

welcome to the world of modern QBs. You are either a star or bust with drafting team. Mayfield/ Jackson coukd be a back up in buffalo next year while trubidky signs with one of those teams.

vaccination required existed at start of season…not an issue. The Covid spike is though, weather concerns…this can occur with every game. Many fans drive from 2+ hrs away to see the game. border isn’t an issue because it’s been going on all season STH selling tickets because 3 home games in 4 weeks is tough on them to do…especially with another hone game next week…thus 3 weeks in a row and 4 in 5. game time concerns people who drive farther out where getting home is 9 pm or later. Concerns of more drinking pregame. the Jets suck. The ticket sellers could be Jets fans hoping their team had something to play for. Now they don’t. Ticket holders now are Covid positive or close family members or friends are. I went to Carolina game. Was in town thst weekend thru mid week. We went as a group of 8 to the game6 of us sat together in one area. The other 2 are STH. not sure if it was from the game, on Tuesday we found out one tested positive. It was very mild/ asymptomatic. We got tested as negative. A few days later one of the other people at game tested positive as did his gf. Unsure if his came from his work or gf. But gf had got boosted. He hadn’t. we alsosocialized with him snd his gf on Monday night when we got together with friends+SO fir dinner. There was 15 of us. It could have been more but a few couples backed out. The guys couldn’t go to the game because of other commitments with work and game schedule flex uncertainty in trying to plan around that.

Buffalo will know what they play for before kick off Bengals W, Chiefs Win they will be 4 one lose they are 3 both lose they are 2 Patriots know if colts W/L so if they were to lose they’d not be 7. They might be more motivated to play Cincinnati/ Tennessee over KC/BUF

Based on history…. CBS game on thanksgiving is at Detroit…so dolphins/ Bills/Jags. Bills aren’t playing next year on thanksgiving. based on history..YS.. dolphins, bills, jags at Detroit. Miami likely.

Marriota is a free agent after the season from the Raiders. He’s a mobile QB so offense wouldn't need to change. Fitz Would com back if offered. I think grub stays given the limited market out there. He’s not going to get a 3rd chance if he goes somewhere and the team doesn’t succeed. He’s still young. If he waits 1 more year there might be more job openings with old QBs retiring. I don’t think Pittsburgh is a good place to go. This year the team games won have been by just 1 score. Their losses have been multi score games loses if Ben didn’t do a late rally against Minnesota and chargers

next year buffalo at chicago. I don’t think much gets any big offers..he hasn’t done anything. He might go to try and get a starting gig somewhere. teams likely looking for vet QBs ( not bridge QBs till their 1st rounder is ready) 1. Washington 2. giants 3. Steelers 4. Denver others if current QBs leave/ retire 1. packers 2. vikings 3. seahawks 4. falcons

There was a Jets game as game #256. I can’t recall who they played but the team knew they play the Jets if they lost. If they won they would have p,aye done of the hottest teams houston. They chose to rest everyone. Jets won at home. Jets beat them the next week. this started the flexing of games on week 17 and only try to put a meaningful game here. if I was the commissioner I’d set up a rule..if this fix happened, both teams would not go to the playoffs and npbe penalized big time with draft picks.

thus isn’t a lock. Bills win and KC/CIN lose Then bills move up. Buffalo will know going in if they have a higher seed to play for. if NE L they are overtaken by Indy and LV

If buffalo beat Tennessee… buffalo is the top seed.

They have not yet announced the Sunday afternoon games My early guess it will be CBS 1 pm Tennessee at Houston Pittsburgh at Baltimore minnesota at Chicago Carolina vs Tampa FOX 1pm Cincinati at Cleveland Green bay at Detroit Washington at Giants CBS 425 pm Jets at Bills Indianapolis at Jacksonville Seahawks at cardinals FOX 425 pm Pats at Dolphins 49ers at Rams Saints vs Falcons

2004 …I think Steelers

Saturday ABC 425 Broncos at chiefs 800 Eagles at cowboys sunday night chargers at raiders

for game scheduling in order to do this it MUST be a 5 at 4 game because the results of the other games determine where 5-4 winner will play. it was the reason MNF is not in the last weekend of the season because of the short week.

it will be a 5 at 4 game because everyone one will know where they will play with a win. The winner plays on Sunday. Dallas at #4 is the most likely game on Monday

For WC seeding NE wins they are #5 NE L Then they could end up 6 or 7. NE lose to IND by h2h NE over LAC by H2H LV over NE by common games NE IND LV. Then LV 5 IND 6 NE is 7. If IND L then teams shift up NE IND LAC Then IND is 5 NE is 6 LAC 7 IND L then teams shift up. PIT needs to WW and have IND L IF PIT WW and LAC/LV tie then LAC is in by H2H. IF IND lose Then LV gets in as well. IF you have PIT, IND LV and LAC all end up with 9.5 W then IND is in and LAC is in. BAL needs to W and have IND MIA and LAC L. They beat both IND and LAC. But if they are tied at 9-8 with Miami then conference record takes over putting IND in. IF LV L then conference record takes over and IND and LV are at 7-5 and LV is in at 9-8.

Updated playoffs…. Bills and Pats clinch playoff spots Titans are #1. Clinch division KC #2 clinch division Cincinnati #3 clinch division Buffalo #4 Patriots #5 vegas at #6 Colts at #7 with games to come Chargers play. If they win they charges over take Vegas in standing but they face each other next week. Miami Baltimore Pittsburgh Cleveland Denver need help ( chargers beat vegas next week and they lose today) miami has tiebreaker on chargers and ravens Ravens have edge on chargers veggs has edge on ravens pittsburgh/ Cleveland is an elimination game by the loss if chargers win, then. Vegas/ chargers is a win and in game. Vegas ( chargers if the W today) and Colts are win and in next week on nfc…. Rams magic number is 1for division title with thrm winning or arizona losing. result of miners, saints, and Vikings game later day help to determine things.

Beside Bills winning out…they need 1. KC LL 2. TEN Not get one W or 2 ties and win division by Indy not going WW 3. Cincinnati not go WW. Bills seed = 4- the count of those events occurring If you get MIA W, BAL W, IND L, LV W , LAC W. All at 9-7 and NE 10-6 Mia beat NE Bal beat Ind, LAC LV beat MIA, IND, BAL NE beat LAC IND beat MIA, NE conf records are NE, LV IND 2-3. LV is 4-1 vs NE 2-3 in common games.LV has edge on NE LAC MIA 3-2. MIA is 4-1 vs 2-3 in common games. MIA has edge BAL 3-1 for week 18 10-6 NE win they are in. Lose they need help. MIA-BAL-IND-LV Order is LV, IND, MIA, NE, BAL. for BAL to get in they need LAC W and NE W MIA-BAL-IND-LAC. Order is IND, MIA, NE, BAL, LAC for LAC to get in they need L by MIA and either BAL or IND L

Assuming no ties….an 8-9 team can’t make the playoffs in the AFC Fins-Pats, Ravens-Steelers, and Chargers-Raiders play each other the result someone has 8.5 Wins or more. There are already 6 teams with 9+ wins

but Buffalo passed on Mahomes people in glass houses…..
