Do people really believe in the Patriots that much? I think they're dropping at least 2 more games. Same goes for Denver. I could see Buffalo ending up at 11-6. Maybe even 10-7 and ending up as the 7 seed. Say what you want about McDermott, but I don't think a McDermott coached team with Allen at the helm goes any worse than 3-3 to end this season. When I think about matchups in the playoffs, I'd almost rather the Bills end up as the 7 seed. That said, I could also see them at 12-5 or even winning out and getting to 13-4. Buffalo loves to rise and fall to their level of competition. They can beat anyone. They can lose to anyone. Anyone who definitively says anything about this team at this point doesn't really have a clue.... outside of making the playoffs. The Bills are making the playoffs.

Shakir has played up to his contract.

Why is the division out?

Why do people keep pointing this out? It wouldn't have mattered. There was offensive pass interference on that play and even if he threw it to Knox we would have been backed up to a 4th and 16. Also, I think it's pretty annoying what the All-22 has done. It's made it so that all we do is look at screen shots of what's available on plays without acknowledging that NFL offensive plays are designed with progressions where there's a read where the ball is supposed to go first second, third, etc. And when there are rub routes like on that play, the ball is usually expected to go to a very specific spot.

I think the expectation we're firing Beane this offseason is nuts. Not happening. All we can do is hope he miraculously changes his stripes.

This team is so Jekyll and Hyde. Getting sick of Brady's predictable play calling. Maybe the wild card path is this team's route to the Super Bowl. Winning the division hasn't been working. One good thing about living in Hawaii and watching a game like this is that it ends before 7 pm, which gives me enough time to process everything so I can actually sleep. Time to take several days off from this board. Gonna suck here.

Annnnnnnd of course Chase is suspended

Really? Is that a special Thursday Night Football thing? Are you sure about that?

Since this is a Thursday night game does that mean Practice Squad Elevations are due by 4 pm EST today? That's an hour and 20 minutes from now. The 3 players up for this to me would be Davis, Latu and Fox. I'm kinda hoping they elevate Latu and Fox and bring Davis up to the active roster while putting someone like Mathis on IR.

When I was watching the game with my friend we were deep in the 4th quarter and I told him to remind me to say something when the game ended. I wanted to point this exact thing out, but I didn't want to jinx it while the game was still running.

All right!!! Shaq is back!!! Dorian Williams has really been coming on lately. Joe Marino's praise of him in the Bucs game was effusive. With Bernard playing better but still clearly hobbled I'd like to see McDermott give Bernard a rest week by making him active but only in emergency situations and start Shaq at MLB. I'd say put Dorian in over Milano but we know that's not happening. Other than Samuel, Hardman and Kincaid this team looks like it's finally getting healthy. The mini bye is coming at a good time

I understand that there's a lot posted on this message board and people don't read through entire posts so I'll just copy and paste this snippet from my unedited OP to show you I already acknowledged this: "This isn't perfect because Shavers was actually a UDFA in 2023 rather than 2024, but he stuck around and gained the most attention last offseason and I think a lot people believe he's a 2nd year player."

Well... this is Shavers' 3rd year

2006 our 1st round draft pick was John McCargo and we picked Kyle Williams in the 5th round. Meatball was a pillar of the team during the drought years and made 6 pro bowls and will eventually probably end up on the Wall of Fame. 2008 our 2nd round draft pick was James Hardy (RIP) and we picked Stevie Johnson in the 7th round. Stevie earned a big role relatively quickly and eventually became our #1 WR posting back to back 1,000 yard seasons. 2022 our 1st round pick was Kaiir Elam and we picked Christian Benford in the 6th round. Benford has turned into what many would argue is an Elite CB and has earned a lucrative extension from the team. Could Tyrell Shavers be the next in line? We all saw what he did in preseason. Granted, it's preseason... but he had a great game against the Bucs and it wasn't just on the TD. I heard a stat yesterday that he was getting a ton of separation on all of his routes and in Joe Marino's All-22 he talked about how good Shavers played overall. He looks like a MUCH more natural WR than Keon. This isn't perfect because Shavers was actually a UDFA in 2023 rather than 2024, but he stuck around and gained the most attention last offseason and I think a lot people believe he's a 2nd year player. I think we're all rooting for him, but I think based on McDermott's and Allen's PCs this week he may have earned himself a legitimate shot to become the WR Keon was supposed to be.

Ummmm... no... we want the Steelers to keep winning outside our game against them if we don't want the Ravens in the playoffs

To me? In no particular order... Super Bowl teams: Eagles Bills Rams Chiefs I understand records but I think it's one of those 4 teams hoisting the Lombardi

Gonna be so freakin pissed if somehow Chase can't play against the Patriots next

What an idiot

Guess I was right...
