Sammy Watkins' Rib

If you don’t value a team winning their division down the stretch after being left for dead and being lead by a QB that leads the NFL in total TD’s then that is on you. wins over KC (Mahomes), Cowboys (Dak) and Miami (Tua) and winning the division when about 5 weeks ago everyone thought the Bills would miss the playoffs. That is quite the story for a QB who leads the league in TD’s and has the third highest QBR in the league (one of only 3 QB’s in the league with a QBR over 70). Steelers suck! Hahahaha

What did you want the Cowboys to do on offense to prevent that scenario? The way it played out there is nothing they could have done. Cowboys had not one but 2 or 3 chances to stop them on 3rd down and failed.

But then they are out a timeout. I don’t see the need to burn a timeout before the 2:00 warning when it only saves you 5 or 10 seconds. Better to burn a timeout when it will save you close to 40 seconds.

Wonder if some of that has to do with Diggs not being on the field for nearly half the plays. There was one drive in the second half in particular where Diggs was not on the field for 1st or 2nd down to start the drive. not sure I agree with having Diggs on the sideline so much. They seem to be playing Sheffield over him in a lot of these sets without Diggs .

they didn’t take one before the 2:00 minute warning though .

It’s third down and they have three time outs and 2:00 left. They have an eternity left if they can just stop them here on 3rd down.

for which team? Dallas still has three timeouts. Miami might get there’s too fast.

but I thought the Chargers had a poor pass defense? Why not exploit it? Dallas had one of the worst rush defenses and we exploited that weakness. Also seems like Kincaid has disappeared since Brady took over.

I feel like McDermott hasn’t shown much confidence in him a couple times this year.

Josh Allen, DE would be awesome. But that dude might sign the richest contract in nfl history for a defensive player if a team with cap space really wants him. How have the Jags not already signed him long term?

I still feel like Gabe has run his course in this offense.

Yeah, so did Allen’s, and by a lot more actually.

Yep. And we witnessed that first hand last night. Barely escaping with a W against a team looking for a rebound. Most delusional fan base of all our AFC East foes. And the funny thing is Josh Allen routinely has career games against them. They are in total self denial.

You are doing something right when you lose the turn over battle 3-0 and still find a way to win. And the two fumbles gave the Chargers automatic FG’s with where they occurred. Not sure about the INT.

Diggs was wide open. Had his man beat badly. So I don’t mind the attempt. Execution has to be better though .What I have noticed is that he is missing his receivers short a lot this year whereas in years past he has often over thrown them.

Also of note, D played well on the road against two really good teams and then totally dominated a great offense when they went back home. They did seem to run out of gas in the Philly game.

Odds wise, are they not more likely to make it in with 10 wins then they are to miss the playoffs with 11? Basically a 13 team ML parlay has to hit. And the majority of these games are near even money type spreads. Not like +300 or +500 dogs needing to pull off the upset. You would win a ton of money in Vegas hitting a 13 team parlay.

Thank you for the breakdown! Can you imagine the hysteria around here if we somehow go into week 18 with not a single game going our way yet?

I feel the same way about the Colts. Maybe even more so then the Bengals. Colts have a very easy final three games on paper but the Colts themselves are an average team. They could easily blow any of the three games. The Bengals have a far tougher schedule, but they have at least looked like a very good team still. Browning is playing exceptionally well. Honestly, the most likely of all is the Dolphins going 1-1 or even 0-2 in their next two games. I'd be interested in playoff clinching scenarios for the Bills before week 18. Let's start to have some luck go our way this week.

The only way the Bills don't make the playoffs is if teams conspire against them in week 18, blowing games on purpose to keep the streaking Bills out of it.

That's exactly why they are a fraud though. With the record they have they should be seen as a contender. But most people don't view them as legit contenders. Can anyone see them going on the road and winning at Baltimore or at KC in the playoffs? Or, without the bye, can they win three straight games against playoff teams? They have a chance to prove they can do that starting now as they finish vs. Dallas, @ Baltimore and vs. Bills. If they win all three they will be a team to be feared. Odds are they go 1-2. Heck, we are hearing from the media now that the Bills are right there with Baltimore as the best team in the conference now and our record is only 8-6.

It’s not that surprising. Baltimore would’ve been playing three consecutive night primetime games if they made the switch. And and to be fair KC vs. Cincinnati is still a pretty attractive late game and Minnesota versus Green Bay still has quite a bit of importance in the NFC. NFL also might be considering the 90% likelihood that they will want to have Buffalo at Miami as the final Sunday night game of the season. So had they move this game to Sunday night Miami would then be playing consecutive weeks on Sunday night football.

Agreed. Let’s be real too. In that game the offense was not inept because of Dorsey. The players could not hang onto the ball. If they have one turnover instead of the four they had on the night the offense likely scores 30+

Agreed. Isn't that the real reason why they shut down BBMB anyway? Too many employees were arguing with fans on their lunch break. Savior Edwards in particular.

not necessarily if you are figuring the Bills are the 4 seed. I could easily see the 6 or 7 seed pulling off an upset this year. I would say pretty likely at least one of the two lowest seeds pulls out an upset. If the Bills make the playoffs the two best teams are the Ravens and Bills for sure. With the Bills probably being the best considering the 4-0 finish and so close to 6-0 if the Eagles kicker just misses a 59 yard FG. KC probably solidly alone as the third best and I would have the remaining 4 teams all as equals.
