Bills 30, Niners 21

Ha, yep! And Bills by 9 and 3-5 feet of snow . . . Maybe a bit less than 3 feet though

I stand by my prediction that he sits.

Just need to string together 9 more wins this season/post season!!

I think I'd take the bye as well. If we're say 50/50 or even 45/55 to beat Ravens and 65/35 to beat two beatable teams, our chances of making it to the AFCCG are worse having to play two games (0.65*0.65 = 0.42) rather than one (0.45/0.50).

I guess if we're saying full integration of Cooper, we should also say same for D Hop. Spot on assessment, in my view.

Here are my predictions: Purdy won't play, Orchard Park gets 3-5 feet of snow but game isn't moved, Bills win by 9 points . . . But don't quote me on any of this!

If you only care about results, and ignore nuance and variables, why would you focus on the fact that it was a 4th down play? We only needed two yards and likely win even with just two yards on that 4th down play. Only one quality win? Second win against Miami wasn't a quality win? Seattle on the road wasn't a quality win? Even you acknowledged we've done excellent in the regular season - No nuance or context needed to explain our 9-2 record, right? I don't disagree that our performance in the playoffs has been lacking but some context/nuance there too is informative. Doesn't "excuse" or fully explain our performance but certainly helps explain outcomes.

Joe Burrow is an NFL QB. Joe Burrows doesn't play in the NFL. Here in Cincinnati, there are twin girls in my son's grade. Their last name is Burrows. Some last names have an "s" at the end and some don't.

I know this is SO obvious but the 1 seed isn't just about the rest. It's about having to win only one game (at home) to get to AFCCG. That's huge!

We have a lot of "near superstars" which is better than having just 1-3 true superstars . . . And we play particularly well as a team.

That's fair - I wasn't considering the effect of weather conditions.

Browns are a lot more competitive with Winston - They'll win about half of their remaining games and impact the playoff seeding for sure. The only teams I'd really be worried about playing are Chiefs, Ravens, Texans, Chargers roughly in that order. Bengals would be a concern but I don't see them making the playoffs. Hope the teams in the North beat the crap out of each other!

I have never been a fan of "Bills Mafia" personally. So I'm being consistent. So funny that some here immediately make this political and call people libby's, etc. This is not a political discussion. It's in bad taste IMHO, that's the point. No one (or very few, I assume) are "outraged" over this.

Agreed, but that is an important subtlety here: The (theoretical) drunken idiots likely didn't even conceive of how what they did might be perceived. In an ideal world, you need to step in the shoes of others and realize it's in poor taste and could be taken as a racial slur. And also in poor taste for other reasons.

Nailed it! Thanks.

I am not a cancel culture/politically correct kind of guy. But in my opinion, and my opinion only, hanging a kermit is in poor taste for several reasons. Feel free to disagree. I am not losing any sleep over it, and I am sure the media will blow it way out of proportion, as they always do.

My personal opinion is that it's in poor taste. Sure, it's funny and basically harmless but the insinuation of violence and (very likely unintentional) suggestion of a lynching is surely offensive to some.

Way, way too many for any sane person. Probably 30-35.

Incredible game and win. Very much a team effort and so happy to see Samuel and Cooper contribute. Shakir is nails! Defense was great too. Even Von got a sack. Seems like both our O and D can find multiple ways to get the job done. That 26-yard run by Josh was totally nuts! We unleashed “running josh” a little more today since it was a big game. Fu@k Mahomie and the Chiefs!

The reason why one might not trade Allen for Mahomes is that you should evaluate them as if they had been in the same circumstance (i.e., apples to apples). And for all of Mahomes' success relative to Allen, the argument could be made that M is a huge benefactor of coaching, scheme, etc. As some have said, would Alllen have had similar crazy amounts of success if he had been the Chiefs QB instead of Mahomes? And how would Mahomes have done here instead of Allen? I think the two QBs are both extremely good. It's a close call IMHO.

Cook/Davis Groot/T Johnson

Going to go against the grain and common sense and predict a Bills blowout! Bills 31, Chiefs 17 (with 7 coming late in 4th during garbage time). Chiefs turn the ball over 2-3 times, Bills on fire most of the game.

Hopefully 2-2 after Sunday

Dead wrong - AZ holds a playoff spot. And I'd argue we have other "quality" wins e.g. most recently against the Fish. That said, I understand we've had a fairly easy schedule - Toughens up alot over the next several weeks and will be a good test.
