Doc Brown

It's just funny to me that you thought it was a day and a half after the game where they had a padded practice. It's football man. When you get torched on the ground like that you need to send a message somehow.

We played on Sunday night and our defense was ran over by the Ravens. A message needed to be sent.

I've been saying for years. Stop practicing.

A healthy Oliver and Bosa going into the playoffs is essential if we were to have any chance at this thing. I hope Ed's ready for WC weekend or at least the divisional round.

Stop ***** fumbling.

And we lost to Penix, Mills, and Tua. I've never liked the framing in Allen outperformed Burrow or Mahomes outperformed Allen when it's a complex team sport.

That was just a hell of a play. He was open.

Clean first half all around.

Chargering

Two turnovers on the same play is impressive.

It was a calculated bet that what they saw out of Daniel Jones wasn't a mirage. His play faded a little but I argued at the time of the trade it was a bad move because of the injury history with him.

Stafford has only four interceptions. A 35 TD to 4 INT ratio is pretty, pretty good.

Barring a four game heater and a Pats collapse I doubt it. He played great yesterday but he was better last year.

"Tee, where are you playing right now?" "Hamburg Ger.... "Let me stop you right there. Close enough."

It's the most accurate measurement of public sentiment of a team.

Well, all of Vegas must be biased then as they have Buffalo as 1.5 point favorites next week in New England who's coming off a bye so I'm not the only one. I still think you guy's are a year away and benefited from a ridiculously easy schedule. I don't know how Maye will perform when the pressure is on in the playoffs. I don't trust Vrabel in the playoffs given his track record.

It's really close at the top but even if we lose next week I'd still put the Bills over the Pats come playoff time. That's only if we get Bosa, Oliver, Palmer, and Kincaid all back at full health for that game. That may be a big ask. Palmer would also help. That Pats game took 3 turnovers (two inside our own 30) and one nearing the red zone and they still won by only three in the first matchup. The AFC is the most wide open it's been in a long time. I'd pry rank them right now in who I think will make the playoffs as Bills, Texans, Patriots, Broncos, Jaguars, Chargers, and Steelers. The first six being really close.

I'm looking at the Chargers and Colts remaining schedule. I think if the Chiefs win out they make it. Especially with Daniel Jones out for the Colts.

Chiefs are just playing a vanilla game plan to save the real stuff for the playoffs.

No because they'd still have the advantage in common games if we both finished 13-4 and they'd win the tiebreaker. If we beat them next week we'd need to run the table and they'd have to lose two of their last three games (Ravens, Fish, Jets) to win the division. I think. LOL.

I'm pretty sure if they lose to the Dolphins and it would be record in common games as the third tiebreaker. They lost to the Steelers and we lost to the Falcons and Texans so I think we'd have to hope for a Ravens and a Dolphins loss by them.

It's plausible if we beat them we could win out and take the division. If the Ravens wake up and the Dolphins who've looked good recently pull off the upset. Pats will be heavily favored in both games though. I'm not sure who holds the tiebreaker if they both finish 13-4 who hold the tiebreaker.

If we beat the Browns and Jets we're pry in

A few things bother me in this matchup: -Bengals have the rest advantage, more desperation, are 12-5 in the last 17 games when Burrow/Higgins/Chase are on the field, and the Bosa injury is huge because Burow is great against the blitz which the Bills will have to use in order to create any kind of pressure. Burrow started out slow last Thanksgiving but looked like his old self in the 2nd half. However, I think the Bills run all over this defense and if they sell out to stop it Allen can make it look like the Bucs game. I think it's close but I've got the Bills at 28-24.

Was he your starting CB this week?
