    fun post!  Ravens are going to lose tomorrow and be the 6.  Only chance they have against Cincy is if Lamar plays for Wild Card.

     

    I would really like for Broncos and Ravens to win because it means Chargers could upset Bengals (who I want no part of)

     

    Also, the Vikings are one of the worst 12 win teams in recent memory along with the 1 seed 12-5 Titans. There is simply no way they get past Lions/Packers, Cowboys, Niners, Eagles


    Those Vikings are not good…..but

     

    they are going to get an overachieving Giants team in the WC

     

    Likely a 9ers team led by a rookie QB in divisional

     

    then they just have to pull a rabbit out of their arse against the winner of likely Philly/Dallas

     

    Bills Vikes baby! Haha

  2. I think best scenario for us going into tomorrows games is….

     

    1. Bills win and clinch 2 seed

    2. Bengals lose to Baltimore and are 3 seed (unlikely without Lamar playing tomorrow)

    3. Chargers lose to Broncos (again, very unlikely)

    4. Miami loses

     

    WC:

    #2 Bills vs #7 Steelers (or Pats if Steelers lose)

    #3 Bengals vs #6 Chargers - I favor this matchup because I think the Bills can handle KC at a neutral site but the Bengals and Chargers are a bit more unknown

    #4 Jaguars vs #5 Ravens

     

    Divisional:

    #1 Chiefs vs #6 Chargers - Chargers beating the Bengals would help us avoid them and the Chargers would get a third shot to beat KC after two very close matches earlier this year

     

    #2 Bills vs #5 Ravens - with Lamar probably back for playoffs they should be able to beat the Jags. Bills have played Jackson well historically

     

    AFCCG:

    #2 Bills vs #6 Chargers - home playoff game with Super Bowl on the line in late January Buffalo. I don’t think the Chargers will be up for it.

     

    Super Bowl:

    Bills vs Vikings - let their luck get them to this game so we can avenge ourselves.

     

    Super Bowl Champion Bills baby!

  3. It won’t change the contact rules but I could see the protocols for this type of emergency to be reviewed further to see if response could be improved further. I also think it will be much more clear about what constitutes the postponement and cancellation of a game for player health and safety reasons going forward.

     

    With all the confusion about potentially restarting the game from the TV broadcast, I think the NFL will want to clarify and avoid how that looked in the moment.

    They contained Mahomes ?

    16/27 233 no picks and a td

     

    chiefs had 140 rushing 

     

    I just have watched a different game because I saw the KC defense lose that one - offensively they ran heavy because that’s what the bengals gave them.

     

    Joe didn’t do much better that game.  Against a subpar KC defense ….

    286 2tds - it’s good…solid day

     

    KC 4th quarter was bad offensively for sure 

     

     Idk I’m not sold on KC being this jaughernaut this year though- I’ve seen them to be really suspect 


    The Chiefs were about to put the game away until Kelce fumbled it and allowed Bengals to come back

  5. Overall the team underwhelmed but for the second week in the row our special teams as really let us down.

     

    Gave up great field possession on every Bears drive, Bass (who is usually so good) has missed 4 points, and Hines and punt coverage letting another punt get downed on us within the 5….feels like that has happened a lot this year. We gotta get special teams specialized so we are not always at a disadvantage, that’s how inferior teams like the Bears and Dolphins stick around in these games.

    The closer we get to this game, the more anxious I'm getting. Some of the factors have me a bit concerned this will be closer than we might expect:

     

    Morse out; the weather; our occasionally bad run defense; and the poor tackling as of late. Hopefully we'll be fine, but those things bother me. 


    All those things could not go our way and we will still likely be fine. Bears don’t have the horses on the DLine to expose our beat up OL.


    Our run defense is best when we worry about taking that away rather than stopping the pass - see Tenn, Bal, NE game. And the Bears don’t have any WRs to worry about and their OL is one of worst in the league.

     

    This Bills team is different. We have learned from all of our mistakes over the past years. We played a crazier weather game against the Pats last year, we now know what we have to do to win in that weather. It’s the NFL so anything can happen, but this is one of the weeks we should have a relatively easy time.

    Pro Football Reference is a great website for looking up stats on players and teams. They also keep track of nicknames for the players, which they list in parentheses right after their real name (I have no idea what sources they use).

     

    For instance, Patrick Mahomes has the following nicknames associated with him: Grim Reaper, Showtime, Magic Man, The Musician, Fatrick, The Gunslinger, or Mahomeboy.

     

    For Ryan Fitzpatrick they list "Amish Rifle" and "Fitzmagic".

     

    Here is Tom Brady's nicknames: TB12, Tom Terrific, Touchdown Tom, GOAT, The Pharaoh, Comeback Kid, or Sir.

     

    For Josh Allen they only list one, and it's not one I even see being used anywhere: "General"

     

    I see people use others like The Unicorn, JA17, and even The Winter Soldier has been thrown around a few times. Where did they get "General" from? Does that stem from college or something?

     

    I found this reddit poll, which was interesting: https://www.reddit.com/r/buffalobills/comments/scf6j0/josh_allens_nickname/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button


    I believe the Winter Soldier started with the NFL youtube account and it’s perfect considering his right arm is not human and y’know, everyone thinks Buffalo is all year winter

    a lot of bills fans are not happy with the bills and how they have been winning games. I would of never thought winning 11 games would produce so much negative talk regarding nearly everything about the team. coaching, no real elite talent (aside from allen/diggs), the oline is struggling and yet here they are sitting at 11-3 and the first team in the afc to clinch a playoff berth.

     

    I don't do a lot of complaining. I'm an old cat that as a bills fan lived through much worse as a fan through the decades of following the bills. I can not complain at all about a team that grits it out like they do winning 5 straight games and sits at 11-3 and the # 1 seed clinching a playoff berth for the 4th straight season. they're not winning these games in a pretty fashion but by god they are winning!

     

    this is one gritty bills team that has a good chance to earn homefield and a first round bye that I believe they will give any team, like they did the fins, a good fight.

     

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    Very good post. 11-3 with the highest Strength of victory in the league and one of the highest point differential.
     

    We now have 3 losses by like 8 points, have beaten every potential AFC playoff team except the chargers and have avenged 2 of our 3 losses already (now just waiting to avenge Vikings loss in Super Bowl).


    After 17 consecutive years of our lives having the season be over by December, we do need to smell the roses a bit about how successful this season has been so far.
