Bills 23 PIT 15

A lot of stuff went uncalled in this game: I generally prefer that to the alternative. On the play in question , I believe Josh thought Ty would be able to break the plane. I don’t recall a receiver actually in the EZ, so I guess a throwaway and 3 point try was the better choice. I don’t think there was gonna be a next play as the time expired.

Sure, but if Bills and Dolphins both win, Dolphins go to BAL. The chances of the Bills seeing MIA in these playoffs are slim. I agree that KC in our building would be a nice change.

The schedule ( place finishers within divisions - not exact teams ) is a rotation that is predetermined for many years out. Example : AFCE 1st place finisher hosts AFCW 1st and 3rd place ) You can find it online.

Exactly. There will be tons of hand wringing here over the opponent regardless of who it is. It’s like they expect you get to play Arizona or something in the playoffs. Not how it works , so beat whoever is in front of you !

I think it’s about right. They have fans everywhere and they travel well. Won’t be like Bills @MIA but they’ll have a sizable contingent .

Meh…. He’s really not all that good. Heard it on the board !

Just NBC trying to sell its streaming service. NFL games are one thing (many) fans are willing to pay for. We’ve got cord cutters to thank for this, really.

Still a bit far out to be sure of weather in that 3 hour block on Sunday. We’ll know with more certainty on Thursday or Friday.

I believe it was inside the final 2:00. Spot challenges are notoriously difficult to win, and Josh failed to extend the ball at the end of the run. It wasn’t really in doubt , as much as us Bills fans would have liked a more favorable spot.

Wasn’t a great throw , he coulda caught it but might have went to the ground after. If Lawrence puts that a little more inside though…

I know they still have a set schedule , including meetings, team meal etc. Just an adjusted timeline to account for the kickoff time. Just get the win and secure a playoff spot. Most NFL games are close, especially divisional contests.

Yep , comes down to the owners. There would be little to no support for the idea so yeah, not happening.

I mean, I get it. HOU seems to have more road upset potential vs Bills than a Minshew led Colts squad. More to your point though, McD does have good track record vs rook QBs. His strengths tend to get overlooked on this board at times. Lots of hand wringing here about Bills opponents as well. Doesn’t matter at this point as the Colts have been eliminated and the Bills still have business to take care of. Cheers and Go Bills! 🍻

Fwiw I think the 96% was before last weeks results (almost ) all went against BUF. At least that would make sense. 68% seems about right even before todays games

Nah, 4th and 1 it’s Josh Allen all the way. Live and die with your best in that situation.

Colts got what they deserved here. Were pretty much staring a 1 point win in the face and gave it away.

Just an awful call, don’t care if it worked or not. Can’t put it in the air in that scenario.

Best looking OSU QB I can remember. Not exactly a stellar list, but worth noting.

Yeah , National TV coverage. Should be all good.

I find Vivid Seats to be best overall.

OMG ! You mean Josh Allen isn’t 100% injury free heading into the final week of the regular season ? We’re doooooooooooooooooooomed !!!

This is more offseason talk than anything, but White has quite possibly played his last game as a Bill. He was a great player for sure, but expecting he will be able to return to form after an Achilles injury is wishful thinking. Probably a February release when his roster bonus is due.

Wildly inconsistent officiating is the order of the day in the NFL, it seems.

Agree. These are both good teams but they have their flaws. The key is Allen. He’s the better QB and as he goes , so go the Bills. If he plays like he’s shown he can in the past, the Bills will win another AFCE crown. If he looks like he has the past couple of weeks, the Bills will be watching the playoffs from their couches.
