No solution is a good one in this scenario. But there are certain things that can't happen no matter what they decide to do: 1. The Bills and Bengals can't be hurt by what happened on the field last night in the standings. 2. The Chiefs can't be rewarded because of what happened on the field last night (especially since they have already lost to both teams head to head). 3. Using a coin toss in a multi-billion dollar industry doesn't seem like a great idea. 4. The entire football season can't be adjusted (In terms of scheduling dates anyway. Too many logistical nightmares) So, here's the thing. The NFL knows that this was a prime game and they want as many eyes on the product as possible. So, if they just eliminate it all together, they would be losing that matchup. So, what does the NFL do here? How do they get those eyeballs back and maximize revenue since that is all they care about anyway? My proposal is that this game not be made up. Pretend it never happened. In this solution, yes, the NFL would be losing that prime matchup that everyone wanted to see. So, how do they compensate for this loss? They add more playoff games! Make the decision now how many teams would get byes.....2 or 3 in both Conferences and then adjust from there how many additional teams get in at the bottom of both the AFC and NFC and do a sort of supersized Playoff. This way nobody at the top gets hurt and the Chiefs just don't get a free advantage over 2 teams that have already beaten them head to head. The only teams that benefit are the ones currently out of the Playoffs that might get a new life heading into the last week of the season. Yes, in this case the NFL loses out on one very meaningful game, but can potentially add 2-4 more depending on how many teams they want to give a bye to or add into the mix. Not only that, but suddenly a lot more games have more meaning in Week 18 that, as of yesterday, didn't mean anything.

Full disclosure......I was not a fan of him coming out of college. I thought he was physically limited and was successful because of the talent around him. Fast forward to the NFL at this time, I think that largely remains the case, but he has had more success than I thought he would. He does throw a pretty accurate ball when throwing in between the hashes. He's made some really nice throws over the middle of the field. But the fact is, he is very limited when having to throw outside the numbers and I think teams have kind of figured this out. If you clog up the middle of the field and force him to throw outside, you will force him into mistakes because he just can't make a lot of those throws. Miami did a great job of designing an offense that played to his strengths. They use speed to create mismatches and the timing of their offense to get the ball out quickly on a bunch of layered crossers has worked well for them. And, if you can't find a way to cover those WRs over the middle of the field, they will make you pay. If you can take away those quick throws, you can slow them down fairly easily because Tua is still limited. The Dolphins are kind of stuck here. He's good enough to win with if your scheme works. The second you force him out of his comfort zone, though, he will turn the ball over at times. I am sure he will get another look next season, especially if they do get into the Playoffs. And honestly, if he gets hot and you can't clog the middle of the field, they can score on any given play. Hopefully, if they stick with him like I am sure they will, our defensive coaching staff can do what they need to do to take away the middle of the field.

Only fitting that ends with a Peterman pick!

35 points and it feels like we played like crap. But whatever.....just win. AFC EAST CHAMPS! But we want more. Go Bills!

Hamlin finally makes a play on the ball..... cost us a pick

That's 7 if it's Cook. Just no speed....

These refs are dying to throw flags on us every play.....

Just like last week, Beasley gets one target and one catch and he never sees the field. I just don't get it, especially on a day like today where the only throws that should be made for the most part should be underneath.

Knee was down before the stretch. They won't overturn it, though, as these refs have been awful all game.

Nate Geary @NateGearySports · 1m Penalties in the game thus far: Bills: 8 for 62 Bears: 1 for 10

Refs just jobbed us out of 10 yards for field position. Something is really off here........

BOOM

If Davis goes for the ball there, that gets a PI. Ugh....... Missed FG on top of it all. Davis cost us 7 there with that lack of effort.

Johnathan's been nice except for that stupid penalty. Ugh......

Coming off a major injury like that, I am honestly not expecting much right away. But the sooner he can provide more than Quessenberry, Saffold and Van Roten, he needs to be on the field. Honestly, that isn't a high bar to clear. Hopefully it happens sooner than later.

A win tonight, no matter how it looked, was the only thing that mattered. That said, this Dorsey offense is just brutal to watch. It's basically Allen calling a play, waiting for the routes to be over because nobody is open, and then letting Allen play backyard football. He's Superman and that is the only reason Dorsey still has a job. If Allen isn't Dorsey's QB, this team would be lucky to have 3-4 wins. Allen literally has everything on his shoulders and I feel for him. The weight of this fanbase, this entire city, rests on his shoulders because he just doesn't have much help. He has 1 star WR. The rest of the "weapons" on this team are average to below average. We have 2 good offensive lineman and now one of them is concussed.....again. And his offensive coordinator has no imagination and doesn't give him any help by scheming guys open. Allen won't win MVP this year, but there is not another player in the league that means more to his team's success that Josh Allen. He is basically the entire offense. If the draft doesn't go WR, OL, OL, OL, then even Beane is doing Allen is disservice. The man is an alien, but he needs some help from some of these earthlings.

I've seen 10 a ton, but not 11

Haven't had the volume on. Is Beasley hurt? He caught his only target and never saw the field again. I don't get it unless he's injured.

They are not going to overturn that

Josh Allen needs some help. He's not getting any in the 2nd half so far.

Not looking for style points tonight.... just a win. If the Dolphins were to somehow find a way to win this game in this weather, we'll never hear the end of it. Just get a W tonight by any means necessary. Go Bills!

Was just about to type this.....probably not.

Well, that was creative. Take some notes, Dorsey!

I've never seen a player more ridiculed for standing up for his personal beliefs. I just don't understand. Don't agree with his views on things? Who the heck cares! People should be able to live their lives not having random people yelling at them because they feel a different way about something. Makes no sense and it's just stupid. As for the move itself, we'll see what happens. The guy definitely doesn't have the same juice he had a couple years ago. But the fact is, he may not need to in order to help this team. If it's 3rd or 4th and 2 and he catches the ball and falls down for 2 or 3 yards and moves the chains, that is an upgrade to someone open 15 yards down the field that drops the ball more often than they catch it. Sure, it won't look pretty, but even 1-2 new sets of downs during a game could make a huge impact on the results of a game. There's literally no harm in trying this out. Worst case is that it doesn't work out and the guy can't play. No different than the current guys on this team dropping passes in important situations. Best case is that he comes in in certain situations and either makes a play himself or draws enough attention to make it easier on someone else to make a play. Sounds like we will find out soon enough.
