  1. Yeah, that’s why I’m saying “best case.” We want Pittsburgh to win that division (at least IMO). We want to avoid Cincy & Baltimore in the WC. We want to avoid Arrowhead in the Divisional Round. I’m not sure that is all realistic but if we are looking at best path, that’s what it would be IMO.
  2. I don’t believe catching the Chiefs is realistic unless Mahomes goes down. The Bills schedule is pretty difficult. I think that they probably lose a couple more games even if they beat the Chiefs. I’m not sure that the Chiefs have 2 or 3 other losses left. With that being said, the 2 seed is very much in play. The great part about it is that the NFL reseeds. I think that you hope for Denver/Indy/Jets/Miami in round 1. There is a chance that Baltimore or Cincy (if they get the 6th seed)is the lowest seed left after round 1. If that’s the case, they’d go to KC. The Bills could end up with Pittsburgh or Houston in Buffalo, in round 2, if things worked out perfectly. I would say that’s best case. If Baltimore or Cincy wins in Arrowhead, the Bills would host the AFC Championship against them. So, in this case, your path might be Denver, Houston and Baltimore, all at home. That feels about as good as you’re going to get.
  3. Josh has that look so far. He gets it once or twice a year. He needs to get in the game.
  4. I am good with it. He can stretch the field. He’s a high 4.3 - low 4.4 guy. I still think field stretching is necessary moving forward. The Bills have been creative but have an ungodly amount of throws within 5 yards of the LOS. Marcel Louis-Jacques tweeted last week that 32 of 39 throws were 5 air yards or less!! It worked. They’ve been good at stretching the field horizontally but still need to stretch it vertically. Virgil is a part-time player but can add an element.
  5. This is where I’m at as well. I always say you need to worry about getting in the playoffs before worrying about seeding. I don’t want the Bengals in either. Let’s bury them and then worry about seeding.
  6. This isn’t true. I worked for the Benson’s for a brief period. Gayle’s health is fine. She is 77. The team won’t be sold until after she passes. That could be 15+ years from now.
  7. I guess for me, the Dolphins are a bigger threat than the Jets. What’s happened the last few years though is tough to overlook. Maybe they can get back to a 10 win team with some changes to the OL & D. I just don’t believe in them. That feels like their absolute ceiling and it doesn’t seem like that window will be around long. Maybe next year? At some point Tyreek & Ramsey are cooked. They have a ton of money tied up in an average, to slightly above average, QB. It just doesn’t feel like that team can compete with the Bills at any point soon. The Pats have the “unknown” element. They have a young QB that looks like he may be the 2nd best QB in the division relatively soon. They have a young star CB, boatloads of cap space and early picks. If they get competent coaching (TBD) and do well with their asset allocation, it won’t be hard to go by both Miami & NY.
  8. Just to be clear, I don’t think that the Pats are necessarily a “threat” to the Bills at this point. I think by the end of next year, or the beginning of the following year, they are most likely the 2nd best team in the division. They have a QB with a lot of physical skills (which Mac never had) and a boatload of cap space. They are more likely to get good than Miami or the Jets IMO.
  9. This thread isn’t intended to trash the rest of the trash teams in the AFC East. We heard A LOT this offseason about Miami and the Jets overtaking the Bills. 2 months later, that sounds hilarious and a lot of “football people” lost credibility here. 😂😂 The question is, “what’s next?” The Bills have owned the last 5 years of the division. Entering the season, 2 teams had lower odds to win the division. That was clearly ridiculous. Those 2 teams pushed their chips in and flamed out in epic fashion. Each team loaded up with vets putting out on 18. They both appear heading for massive rebuilds (the Jets more than the Fins). The Bills arrow and trajectory is pointing up. This was a bit of a “reset” but without any step back. What does the division look like in 2025 and beyond? How long does the Bills run go? What changes do our “rivals” make? Who is the biggest threat? I personally think by late 2025 the Pats may be the next best team in the division. 😂😂 It’s interesting to me because generally after 4 straight division titles, the gap closes. It appears that the gap may never be bigger than it is right now.
  10. That’s an interesting one to me. Tate might have been more explosive but feel like Shakir has better contact balance. Tate had a 4 year span where he was really good (averaged over 95 catches and like 1100 yards I think). I also think he was kind of an idiot if memory serves me correctly. Shakir feels like a future captain. If Shakir can be the player of prime Tate with his current attitude/leadership he will be a key piece of the team for many years.
  11. We have no idea what the situation is. It feels like Poona Ford all over again. He was a good player. The Bills signed him. He was largely inactive. They let him go and he is immediately a starter again. None of us know the situation other than the Bills didn’t like either player after they got to Buffalo.
  12. We are NEVER going to agree on the this. Being very good after the catch for 91 catches is totally different than being really good after the catch for 1000 catches. Khalil Shakir needs 5-6 more years at this current rate for me to even consider putting him in the conversation with a borderline HOFer with the same skill set. At any rate, I think this speaks to how good Shakir has been and is also terrifying about the sustainability of this level of play:
