Guess I was right. I honestly thought of the 3 games they would lose to the Jets. I still think they might this week. Division very much in play folks!!! Are you guys (and a bunch of others) okay??? Do you need medication to recover from your shock? Have we learned yet that it's not advisable to pencil in wins for teams across the NFL?

Tua has 24 TDs and 16 turnovers. Josh has 35 TDs and 17 turnovers. Josh has the turnover problem, though.

Don't know if he needs to do this. He's way ahead in total TDs in the NFL.

Pretty ***** ridiculous, isn't it?

Holy crap!!! I've lost so much respect for Mahomes. I've always hated him, but only because he's on the Chiefs and is our nemesis. Now I see he's just an entitled baby. Contrast that with Josh's ridiculous intentional grounding earlier this year. Did he react immediately? Yes. Did he bring it up in the PC? Yes, but only a little. This scene at the end of the game is probably 10-15 minutes after that play actually happened. AND IT WAS AN OFFENSIVE Offside!!!! Obviously the only reason he's complaining is because of the results of the play that didn't happen, but holy crap!!! I hope he and Reid get fined. This is disgusting.

All those teams still play each other. The only outcome today that sucked was the Jags losing to the Browns. I was fine with them losing to the Bengals last week because I thought Lawrence was knocked out for the season, but guess not. Even with that, 6 teams currently at 7-6. Most of those teams still play each other. Win out we're obviously in. I still think even losing 1 likely gets us in. Just win out. They can. 2 home games. 1 against a likely Herbertless LA team and 1 to close the season against Josh Allen's B word. Let's gooooooo!!!!

Dude WTF is up with all these QB injuries this year?!?!?! This has to be some kinda record.

Meanwhile Cowherd keeps talking about "time left" for Allen before he falls apart like Newton and Big Ben--though, it should be noted how long the latter played in the NFL. I genuinely like listening to The Herd. It's entertaining and I think he's actually very good in terms of creating analogies to relate real life situations with sports. That said, Dude has a blind spot against Buffalo and Josh Allen in particular. Who are the QBs in the NFL who have started every game this season and are currently healthy? Let Josh be Josh. He's less prone to injury if you ask him to do that.

Ya know... watching this game in the 1st half... I said to my buddy that I wanted Allen to go just one game without throwing an interception in order to shut the haters up. He didn't do that. And so as I watched Football Night in America, they showed highlights of the Bills vs Chiefs game. During the highlights, they literally only showed blunders by the Buffalo offense like the interception and miscommunication on other plays along with "missed opportunities" by KC. Yes, this was immediately followed by all the great plays Allen made, including that absolutely unbelievable sideline pass to Murray that I honestly thought would be overturned as a catch. But the lead was Josh Allen blunders. Allen has 6 more TDs than any other QB in the NFL right now... we should really talk about turnovers and miscommunication before we talk about anything else, though... makes sense I guess...

Go into this thread and read the responses. Epic. First of all... Von is NOT Offside. Refs missed a blatant hold on Kincaid. And the Toney Offside was blatantly Offside. Yes, Buffalo was fortunate for that penalty. But it WAS a penalty. Plus, as another poster stated... Josh Allen with over a minute and 3 TOs??? I'll take it.

Can we just establish that everyone needs to stop penciling in wins? 2 weeks ago if anyone said the Steelers would lose to the Cardinals and Patriots, they would have been called nuts. This very much proves that even if Buffalo loses 1 of their next 5, the playoffs are very possible, if not likely. Win all 5... we're the most dangerous team in the NFL. Anyone really gonna be shocked if the Texans and Browns lose this weekend???

Our percentage went up from 14% to 20% with the Pittsburgh loss

I don't know... the players on the whole might really like McDermott as a coach and view this as a hit job. They might also believe he's a very good man (which he seems to be) and be even more offended by an article that gets incredibly personal in its attacks of him. It'll be interesting how the team responds.

Wow. This is considered journalism? There's so much bias in here on Dunne's part. I hope the team uses this as a rallying cry.

So your disappointment is in their current choice with Von or with their past choice in Araiza or with their current decision to not issue a formal public apology towards Araiza? If it's their choice with Von, maybe they learned from their Araiza mistake. If it's their choice with Araiza, yep, it was a mistake. But you can understand their decision even if you don't agree with it based on the ugliness of the accusation. If it's their current decision not to issue a formal public apology towards Araiza. Really? Is there any precedent of a team doing something like this in this situation? It's not like Beane's decision ruined the kid's life.

Yes... but how many egregious interceptions has Josh actually had this year? I'm talking interceptions that were just terrible decision making and/or terrible throw? 5? 6 at most? Hail Mary INT vs. the Eagles certainly doesn't count. Gabe Davis's drop vs. the Broncos in the Red Zone turned INT doesn't count. The bomb he threw to Diggs near the goal line earlier this season (Jags???) wasn't a great throw, but it wasn't a bad throw. It was in Diggs's hands... he just didn't fight to hold onto the ball like he normally does. The sheer number of dropbacks Allen has had to pass should probably also be taken into consideration. Allen has the 4th most passing attempts in the NFL. 3 of those QBs ahead of Allen also have double digit INTs. If the plays Allen scrambled on were taken into consideration, he probably jumps to #2 or #3 in terms of dropbacks in 2023. Allen could be better when it comes to Interceptions, but the narrative nationally of him regarding his turnovers is pretty unfair.

I hope Zach Wilson looks like the 2nd coming of Rodgers for the rest of the season and does us a favor beating the Texans, Dolphins and Browns. Won't hold my breath, though.

Now do 2023 alone. I was listening to the Locked On Podcast from yesterday with Joe Marino, who had Nate Geary on as a guest. Anyone not familiar with Geary... dude knows his stuff. Geary said that Josh Allen (as of yesterday) has the 2nd best TD:TO ratio in 2023 and it's pretty much ignored by everyone. You did the math since 2018. Do the math for this year alone. Pretty much shatters your narrative as far as 2023 goes.

First Things First showed footage of a Buffalo Bills practice today and it was dated 12/5, which is today. I didn't see any other reports regarding practice, but usually on a bye week I thought you'd plan for 1 extra practice.

Wasn't it McDermott who convinced Beane to draft Bernard, though?

If Buffalo is able to get into the playoffs, they'll be the most dangerous team in there. And that's even if the Bills sneak in going 4-1. I can absolutely see the Bills winning out, but our schedule is just a lot tougher to end the season than it was in 2021. However, this late bye week was a bit of a gift. If Buffalo is able to win the next 2 games, Bills fans should rejoice. If we win 1 of the next 2, but the loss is competitive and similar to something like the Eagles loss, Bills fans can still hope. If we lose the next 2, it's draft talk time.

The Bengals won and the Jags starting QB got a fairly serious injury that will almost certainly keep him out at least 1 or 2 games. It sets up a scenario where the Jags could lose more than they win over the next 5. The Bengals have a really tough schedule to end the year with the Colts, Vikings, Steelers, Chiefs and Browns. Not worried about them winning out with Jake Browning at QB with that schedule. I disagree. I played with the playoff machine and there are a bunch of scenarios with the Bills making the playoffs with 1 loss. Yes, it relies on other teams to lose. But those losses are entirely possible. And there are several possibilities.

Except the NFL doesn't work this way. Teams lose all the time that shouldn't. Take a look at Buffalo all year. Take a look at Pittsburgh on Sunday. Take a look at the Jags last night. There will be upsets. Just as an example, the Tennessee Titans play the Texans twice, the Dolphins once, and the Jags once along with the Seahawks. I be that as you wrote in your winners, you gave the Titans ZERO wins over the next 5 games. Now, rather than playing that "favorites," do you actually think the Titans are going 0-5 in the next 5 games? If you believe they will, we can throw down a friendly wager... because I highly doubt they don't win at least 1, but probably 2 of those remaining games... and not just based on the "resting starters" notion of the last game. If I had to guess I'd say they split with the Texans. I didn't take issue with your post all that much. Just don't call other people homers and expect them not to respond.
