Right now? 4. They play each other next week. And then Allen plays Mahomes. And then Allen plays the Cowboys and Dak. And then Allen plays Herbert and the Chargers. Buffalo wins 3 or 4 of those games and Allen looks good and plays more like he did a couple days ago... well... I'm sure you know where the national conversation goes.

Right now Allen has 5 more TDs, 3 more turnovers, and 294 more yards than Jalen Hurts.

I think Terell Bernard is the answer to that question considering Kincaid was universally believed to be the best TE in last year's draft class. No one really knew who the heck Bernard was and everyone, including (maybe especially) the fan base criticized the pick. Dude's a stud.

Are you living in the past? Miami just played the Raiders. They didn't lose, but they almost did. Miami is a paper tiger.

Still say 10-7 gets in. Some posters are looking at doomsday scenarios rather than reality. You guys realize the Bills are the only team in the WC hunt with their bye week remaining, right? That means every other team plays one more game than Buffalo. I think this iteration of the team could manage 6-1... but 5-2 still finds a way in when all the other teams have 8 remaining games as opposed to our 7. Philly is the least important game to win remaining on our schedule. If we only lose one more game this year, I hope it's to Philly

Well, unless Mahomes or Hurts throw 4 interceptions. Unlikely, but possible. Regardless, notice that all those "MVP candidate" QBs aren't exactly protecting the football. Tua and Lamar have 11 turnovers, Mahomes has 10 turnovers and Stroud has 9. Purdy is protecting the football more than any other candidate and only has 5 turnovers right now, but has also had incredibly good fortune. He's fumbled 6 times and just hasn't lost any of them. Yep... Allen has 15 turnovers. But he has 29 touchdowns. The next closest player in TDs right now is Hurts, who has 22. So is that 4 turnover difference more impactful negatively than the 7+ (in most cases plus) difference in TDs positively? And just so you know, Allen has 9 more TDs than Purdy, 10 more TDs than Stroud, and 12 more than Lamar & Mahomes. At the moment, Purdy is the one maybe most deserving, but is he? He's got another guy in McCaffery on his side of the ball playing at an MVP level. Same goes for Tua.

Good. Hope they beat the 'Phins

Josh Allen has 7 more TDs than any other player in the NFL. He's obviously an MVP candidate

My Dad and I talked before this game. He said he wouldn't be happy unless the Bills scored 30 against this Defense and had a zero turnover game. I thought 30 points was ridiculous. I just wanted the zero turnover game. Even though the stat sheet says we had a turnover, everyone knows what we really just saw was a 30 point game and zero turnovers against one of the best Ds in the NFL.

And now?

Can't see that. You sure that's not a screenshot of a grasshopper?

You're saying a whole lotta nothing here. I didn't list ALL teams because you should get the idea already. I think you do, but you're just stubbornly clinging to your original point. And I want you to provide me with a scenario where the Bills win out and don't make the playoffs. Every time you find yourself giving one team in the WC race wins to kick Buffalo out you'll be giving another one a loss. Please, provide the scenario that proves Buffalo does not in fact control its own destiny. Try remembering that only one team wins a game.

Practice squad call-ups?

Bengals play Steelers (either team losing is probably good), Jags (either team losing is probably good), Colts (either team losing is probably good), Steelers (see above), Chiefs (either team losing is probably good), Browns (either team losing is probably good) Browns play Steelers (either team losing is probably good), Broncos (either team losing is probably good), Jags (either team losing is probably good), Texans (either team losing is probably good), Bengals (see above) That's only 2 teams I did, both of which are ahead of the Bills in the playoff picture currently. Other teams in the wildcard hunt like the Jags, Texans and Colts are all about to start beating up on each other, too.

They all play each other. 2 teams can't win

I'd love it. They'd be the weakest number 1 seed ever

Ummm... they absolutely have room for error... and you posted that here. Their error room is 2 games. And to preemptively respond... yes the Bills absolutely could beat the Eagles and/or Chiefs.

I bet we see more of an Allen-centric run game than we've seen all season against the Jets

Many would say I'm one of the biggest Josh homers on this message board. Your prediction against this Jets defense is insane.

He's there

Actually... between Watson and Burrow being out for the year, our door back into the playoffs is pretty open now. Before I didn't think there was a chance a 9-8 team would be a Wildcard. Very possible now. ... and also, when is the national media going to start criticizing Joe Burrow for being made of glass? Best ability is availability, right? Dude's been hurt somehow every season, yet it's Allen we need to worry about in terms of longevity?

I think that's absolutely a huge part of the firing. Someone has been telling Allen this "low positive" attitude and restraint from using his legs is critical. If McDermott's coming out and saying something like this, my guess would be Dorsey was a big part of that. Brady looks like the opposite so far, FWIW.
