It would be wild, and somewhat unlikely so that’s why I’d like to see the Bengals miss the postseason.

Great job compiling this. So many references on this board to this game, which has become something of an urban legend.

Yep. A very “ Chiefs like” schedule.

Bills fans will not decide the fate of McDermott. That decision lies with Terry Pegula. Yes, the conversation is somewhat pointless for that reason.

I can’t see McDermott with a DC that has a completely different philosophy. Oil and water. The defense we saw yesterday is exactly what the Bills D is ; an erratic defense that gets takeaways. They’re not shutting anyone down in the playoffs outside the WC round. It will be Josh Allen putting on the cape and taking the Bills as far as he can take them. Will it be the AFCCG ? Super Bowl? We’ll have to wait and see.

The Bills need to make the AFC title game at minimum this postseason. If not, a major change needs to happen. Hopefully T Pegs / Beane understand this. They’re the only ones with opinions that matter. Ideally the Bills get the job done and it’s not necessary.

When the Commanders benched Cousins and inserted Penix, it was just the tip of the iceberg for Collinsworth.

I agree. Only QB not named Brady that has defeated them in postseason in PM era. Why let that QB in the tournament?

That would be Bills over Broncos , Chargers over Chiefs , Texans over Steelers.

Don’t care too much , wouldn’t mind seeing the Bengals eliminated for the 2nd straight year.

Idiots. What about the way Josh Allen plays football would possibly make one think he’s satisfied with a playoff loss ? I highly doubt it’s 50/50 right now in the minds of the 50 voters. “ most certainly” seems hyperbolic.

That must be a tough way to watch sports. After the last Allen touchdown Gabe Davis touchdown I was looking up AFCCG tickets on my phone.

Sure, the playoffs are more important. But the MVP will be decided ( not announced) before the playoffs even start.

How soon we forget

Chiefs divisional round opponent won’t be a serious challenge.

Not really. The Bills were trying to win the game with a minimal game plan and putting nothing on tape. Possibly even trying to put specific things on tape that won’t actually be used. They didn’t need a great game plan a la Detroit game to get a win vs New England.

We know what Allen can do in January. What matters is what the Bills defense can do. They play against Mahomes, not Allen. Some Bills fans do care about Josh Allen winning MVP, and that’s what this thread is about.

Betting odds don’t have much to do with the MVP voters. More about talking heads and hot takes.

That and to try and get him a ring.

“ next year” hasn’t been the goal for the Bills since the 2019 season.

Of course not, and they certainly have a chance. The bye and seeding makes the road much tougher for all but 1 team. It used to be 2 teams got to win a single home playoff game to advance to the title game. Not impossible now but a lot more difficult.

It’s too big an advantage , but the NFL only sees dollar signs. They don’t care, and won’t change it back until the NFLPA agrees to 8 playoff teams and an 18 game schedule.

Has some merit, but that’s a lot of changes. I’d be happy to see the bye return for the 2 seed. Not going to happen until the playoffs are expanded to 16 teams. That’s probably not until Allen’s career is over.

Starting off with a bye is huge. Then the weakest remaining team by record. Then possibly a very strong team for the title game, all at home. Not easy, but not exactly a gauntlet. The Bills will likely have to play the other two best teams in the AFC to reach the Super Bowl. Eliminating the bye week for the 2 seed is a mother @&$! for the Bills. Greatly diminishes their chances of getting to the big game while KC is going strong.

Only if you’d prefer the 3 seed. You’d probably get the Steelers to start round one - you could probably make an argument for 3 seed vs 2 .
