Sammy Watkins' Rib

My biggest problem with Fields so far is that the guy can't stay on the field consistently. That is the #1 reason I would look to move on from him. If he can manage to stay on the field, I think he could develop into a poor man's Lamar Jackson. And Lamar is about to be a two-time MVP and has one of the best regular seasons winning percentages of all time for a QB. A poor man's LJ could still be a heck of a valuable football player. At the very least I could see Fields becoming a Jalen Hurts type QB. But the guy can't be missing as many games as he does due to injury. Stroud, I don't think anyone saw this coming. Folks mocked him endlessly in that pre-season game where he through a couple of really bad picks.

Put a couple ML parlays on the Jags and Dolphins.

All of their backs seem to be injury prone. So, if they can go into a game without one of them that could be a bid deal if the one gets banged up during the game. That ship sailed when we won back-to-back games against the Chiefs and Cowboys. Not to mention the two we won after those games.

I agree with this thinking. Disappointed though because it was really looking like that game would set up as a tie.

lol. the Steelers don’t deserve it if we lose. But they’ll get in if we lose.

SOB. okay Huntley.

I’m starting to smell a tie. Which is fine by me .

I just turned the game on at halftime. Has the entire Ravens offensive game plan been 1st and 2nd down runs with Edwards and then Huntley throwing in 3rd 7+ ?

Even more wild to think a team as bad as these Steelers could be in the playoffs over the Bills. The team with the third best odds to win the Super Bowl.

Come on Ravens! Let’s go!!

And White. But Douglas kind of cancels him out.

Expect a close game. Final game winning drive type of game. But a tie.. in the final game of the season for each team? Has that ever occurred? I know it almost happened a couple seasons ago with Chargers/Raiders.

Would not be surprised at all to see Colt's / Texans come down to a game winning drive for either side. Decent chance we will be hoping for a late FG to be made or missed to send the game into overtime.

They likely will. Are they both favorites?

You simply can't be as motivated as a team facing win or go home.

If the goal is to host the AFCCG, we want KC coming to Buffalo in the divisional round. No way in hell Miami, as the 6 seed is going into Baltimore and beating them. I don't care how bad a game playoff Lamar has.

I don't think we are nearly as banged up as Miami is. That is the point of the OP. Whoever is on the field for either team is going to be playing to win. And definitely whoever is healthy enough to play in a regular season game is going to play. The three biggest question marks I think are Waddle, Howard and Mosert? Do you play them if they aren't ready. Is it one of those injuries where week 6 regular season they are sitting but divisional round playoff game shoot them up and put them on the field? If so, where does this game fit into the equation with Miami's biggest game being next week, not this week.

If I am the Dolphins I don't feel that bad about going to KC. I don't think I risk players that are "close" to back. I want them fully healthy. KC is very beatable this year and in KC they are even beatable. I think they have more home losses this year than away? The game in Germany was close and if it wasn't for a defensive TD Miami could have won that game.

I agree. Winning is such a significant ingredient for a QB's MVP case. That's why I thought the Bills going from 6-6 and the 11 seed to 11-6 and the 2 seed in a year where no QB's were really standing out and everyone wanted to say "yet but" to Purdy's efficiency, would really put Allen in the conversation. I'm curious how the all-pro vote goes. To me, Purdy and Dak are far more deserving of first and second team All-Pro. That is the award IMO that is strictly more about stats then wins. Typically, the QB MVP also wins first team all-pro, but it is also typical that the QB MVP is clearly just as good stat wise as any other QB in the running. That's just not the case this year with Lamar clearly behind Dak and Purdy.

If you would have told me 5 weeks ago that Allen could win his final 5 games, taking the Bills from 6-6 and the 11 seed in the AFC standings to beating the Dolphins in prime time for the division title and the 2 seed for all to see and have the exact same stats he has now and let's say three more TD's this Sunday to put him at 45 on the season I would have thought there was no way he would not win MVP. I do guarantee we will hear MVP chatter if the Bills win the Division and Allen has 3+ TD's doing so. But it will just be chatter and Allen will get a vote or two. Obviously, the more TD's he can put up the louder the chatter. But at this point it would take a 5 or 6 TD performance to really make it a close vote. Not impossible given the Bills track record with Miami. I didn't really see the Ravens beating the 49ers, and let's face it, that game was all about the Ravens defense totally dominating Purdy and the Ravens offense. Jackson didn't screw things up in that game and he was efficient but he wasn't at all the reason they won the game. I mean Allen's game against the Eagles in a losing effort was 10x more impressive than Lamar's in the winning effort against the 49ers. The award is SOOOO much about winning it really makes me wonder where Allen would stand in the MVP talk if the Eagles kicker simply misses a 59 yard FG in the rain. That one win behind an epic performance would have really carried what could be a six game winning streak for the division title instead of a 5. Add to that, Bills beat the Broncos with 11 men on the field and it's not even a contest. Allen wins going away with a 13-4 record and a division title, even if the Ravens still finish a game better.

It's huge that both these teams we need to lose will be playing on the road. I foresee them both being one score games. Hope they break our way.

That would be some bad luck if we had to go through the 49ers to get to the Super Bowl.

Bills don't get blown out. Closest thing to a blow-out was last years Divisional game against the Bengals? Before that we have to go back to the 2021 Colts game? I look at the this upcoming game in Miami and see three possible outcomes. Miami wins a one score game. Bills win a one score game. Bills win by 14+ Cinci has been slapping us around the last three games. That team has our number for some reason. I'd be a lot less confident if they were in it still.

TEAM OF DESTINY! I actually feel very confident if we make it in. Feels like this is our year. The one team we seemingly could never hang with is not in. The Bengals.

I think we have an even better chance at the division if it is a win or go home game for us. I just can't see a banged-up Miami team that already knows they have their playoff ticket punched having the same energy as a Bills team that has been playing win or go home football for essentially the last month.
