And yet they only managed to score 24 points. I’d bet many teams have scored 24 and lost playoff games. You don’t win games with yardage.

Yes he does. He also drafted Allen, who covers up a lot of warts. Beane hasn’t found an elite DE, DL or LB. This defense can be good at times but they lack key components to be great.

They must win out Broncos lose out Colts lose 1 Dolphins lose 1

They will probably get BYE LAC 3rd time/ HOU rematch BUF/ BAL rematch

If the Bills lose their last two, the Ravens win their finale vs CLE , Broncos defeat Chiefs and Bengals defeat PIT then the Bills would face PIT in round one.

It doesn’t matter what you want. Or me, or any of us. Thats it. The only thing that matters ( as you alluded too) is what Terry wants. Yeah, we know he wants a SuperBowl win, and he knows how good Josh is. Short of that Championship, it’s if and when he decides a change is necessary at Head Coach, or GM or whatever. His confidence level, not ours will dictate this. If we don’t like it, we can follow a different team. It sounds harsh , but that’s the reality.

Pretty good role player. Wasn’t interested in him at the Bills spot and still wouldn’t have taken him.

It certainly wasn’t enough, but probably all they’re capable of. They look like a one and done unless they play HOU or something like that. Fortunately, the rankings of national observers have zero impact on which team(s) end up in New Orleans.

Not too many teams put up undefeated seasons in the NFL, in case you didn’t know it. Thats what it would take to secure the 1 seed this year. If you want to be angry about something , it should be the NFL and their elimination of the bye week for the 2 seed in the playoffs. For no other reason than pure greed. Unfortunately it coincided with Josh Allen becoming well, Josh Allen. Thats a bummer for Bills fans.

They won’t have a choice but to run whatever gauntlet the final seeding and game results dictate.

If you mean the Bills know they don’t need to use/ show things that they will use in the playoffs to win this game then you’re correct.

Yes, they are. They own a business that is guaranteed to make a large profit every year. Yes there is a reason why every NFL teams wants a Josh Allen. The QB far outweighs the importance of any other player on the team: that’s the nature of the sport. It doesn’t guarantee a Super Bowl Trophy - or even an appearance in the big game- but it makes it a lot more likely. Hardly a revelation there. The game is entertainment, and it’s a lot more entertaining when it is played well.

Breaking News : it doesn’t matter. At all. Internal pressure from ownership, that’s about all that matters. If ownership thinks something needs to change, amazingly changes happen. Why pretend that fans opinions amount to anything? They were not good enough to go 17-1. And they didn’t - KC did. That is the difference in the seeding.

Josh Allen isn’t the Bills only player, but I get it. I suspect that’s why most teams spend every waking minute trying to find a Josh Allen of their own. They don’t grow on trees or every team would have one. It still doesn’t guarantee a first round bye or a Super Bowl berth. Sometimes you have a great year and your top competitor goes 17-1 .

Right? Apparently better roster building, better coaching and an enraged fan base will prevent the Chiefs from losing just 1 game or get the to Bills an undefeated season! Thats all we need to be guaranteed a Super Bowl berth.

I wouldn’t read too much into it. Late season game vs division opponent going nowhere. Lots of reasons why this may not be a high scoring affair.

I doubt it. I think Josh Allen has made his case amongst the voters for MVP. If the Bills beat the NYJ and lock in the #2 overall seed in the AFC , I’d venture that Allen wins the MVP by a solid margin.

Steelers were a mirage

Pretty sure the Broncos season finale is in Denver, no?

Of course. He hasn’t had an all pro caliber hit on the DL . Milano was elite at LB but he’s been injured and isn’t the same player. Beane has to shoulder blame for lack of elite DL or game changing LB ( Milano’s best days are behind him) He’s making the picks

Completely different group of voters for Pro Bowl

I don’t think it’s the scheme. When the Bills D is playing badly, I’m seeing guys just flat out getting beat. That’s not scheme, it’s a lack of talent.

I think if the Bills and Steelers flipped spots , you could argue it would be a better path for the Bills . Home vs LAC, @ PIT, Home AFCCC vs BAL /@KC- which they could have to do anyway

Chiefs have had a few nail biters vs DEN in recent past

I don’t think it’s as simple as that- the Bengals need more to happen than just winning out and Denver losing to the Chiefs. They need a very specific set of outcomes and that’s why they’re 10th in the AFC with around an 8% chance to get in.
