It matters, but not the be all end all. You’ve got to find a way to win. They’d better , because I don’t think the Bills will get the number one seed. The East going forward doesn’t look conducive to it. Conversely, the AFC West doesn’t seem to have a team that can give KC a battle. It appears the NFL will be going to a neutral site championship game system soon; that will help.

Looks about right. What’s to be upset about ? First one is obvious, and the second was in the AFC title game. No real argument to be made there.

Yep. He’s been very solid for the Bills, but is one concussion away from an extended absence or even retirement. Time to get a strong replacement candidate ready to go.

Bengals may not be a fluke, but more of a matchup / strategy type thing. The Bills looked outcoached both times. Dig a bit deeper on the Dolphins playoff game though. That game was likely headed to blowout status before some self- inflicted wounds by the offense . The D actually did their job, surrendering few yards for just FG’s on very short fields.

I’d put their past performance mostly on strategy/ coaching than personnel. Last year had injuries in that mix too. Elite offense is the name of the game in todays playoffs; probably more than ever imo.

I concur. The defense is probably good enough. The Super Bowl showed us it doesn’t matter much if you’re the #1 defense anyway ( dubious late penalty flag and all ) You’re not shutting down the best offenses in todays game and need to match score for score. Then it likely comes down to having the ball last - which is where the SB was heading before “ the call” . Even with the Bills favorite status going into last season, most everyone thought it was theirs to win IF they stayed healthy. As you pointed out , that didn’t happen.

Defense was still very good in almost every category last year as well. They slipped a bit in yardage but most metrics stayed remarkably consistent. The pass rush disappeared after Millers injury, though. The offense was still good, but not nearly as reliable down the stretch. Josh’s injury, Dorsey’s rookie struggles and OL were all concerns too. Just seemed too reliant on Josh being Superman regularly to make things happen. Have to admit I get a bit jealous watching Mahomes toss the ball to wide open WRs most of the time ,with some of his patented plays thrown in here and there. That’s probably influenced my opinion on the Bills WR corps, though a lot of it is likely just superior play design by Andy Reid.

I like the addition of Kincaid, and the middle of the field was a huge problem for most of last season on offense. Still, I’d like to see another quality vet WR ; not certain how much we can rely on a rookie TE being the difference. I’d be more confident if Beane can bring a WR but I can see your point here.

About 2 -3 years imo

Never said you did , ‘stein

I agree with the vast majority of this. Certainly a better explanation than 37 wins over 3 seasons being some kind of mirage. I do think Beane needs to add a legit weapon at WR2 to put the Bills over the top and into the SB. Still have time to do that.

Right? 37 wins over last 3 seasons, second only to KC’s 40. Not much to bridge there , but they do need better defensive strategy/ execution in playoff games. Offense was a no show all the way around in loss to Bengals , Josh’s worst playoff appearance to date.

Wouldn’t be surprised. Actual conservatives / Republicans don’t care enough to “ protest “ such a silly event. Just don’t sexualize children and you can have your idiotic “lifestyle” choices for yourselves.

Exactly … now , that doesn’t mean we think it’s a good idea to have a neo nazi tea and brunch day at the local elementary school. Amazing how this stuff works , no ?

Because they are few and insignificant ,so normal people just ignore them.

You’re a class A moron

Just like last season was going to be tough for the AFC West winner to get the #1 playoff seed with all the good QBs in that division. Doesn’t mean squat and as others have mentioned ( in the words of Chris Berman) that’s why they play the games!

Somehow I doubt this innocent victim will be getting a mural in his honor.

Yep…. I wonder why ?

Yet another example of absurd current day liberalism… those who pay their bills and do the right thing must be punished. Those who cannot demonstrate their competence by passing a test go to the front of the line. Criminals must receive our empathy while law enforcement is disdained. Males pretending to be female must be allowed to compete and dominate in women's sports - actual women must simply shut up and accept it. Those who make more money should pay a higher rate for energy. Their insanity knows no bounds.

Yay ! Let’s have a fuggin’ parade.

It’s a larger group than we realize , unfortunately. They have been “converted “

A very peaceful fire at that…

He would have been re-elected if not for all the unrequested , unverified paper ballots.

Total liberal $#|+hole I would never have set foot in anyway. Giant “ who cares “ dept. for me…
