After the trade deadline, even vets have to go through the waiver process.

I'm not sure if you wrote your thought wrong to the bolded. It seems contradictive unless I am having brain trouble (completely possible as I do have some disability here.) Unless NE trips up a bunch is part of the reason why every week is "must win." 13-4 might be the 1 seed, you are correct. However, there are times where the last game can take you from 1 seed or 2 seed to out of the playoffs altogether. Unless something changes, IMO every week is must win. Otherwise you end up in a position where the last week is a must win and or you need help from other teams to get in. That is why we are not in good position. As it stand now, if we lose this week we would be out of the playoffs until something changes. That will change week to week depending on other game outcomes. I dunno about you, but IMO controlling your own destiny is better than relying on other teams to lose.

Most but not all schedules, you are correct. That doesn't change what I said or make it wrong. For instance, either BAL or PITT will be a division winner. The other is a WC contender. Ravens almost never sweep Pitts. Not sure if they have even done so in the Lamar era. We play Pitts. Losing to them gives them a tie breaker over us. Exactly why I said that this game could be the final nail. We are currently the last seed in the WC. 3 teams below us are 1 game away from tying our record. One has the tie breaker on us (HOU.) One we have the tie breaker over (KC.) The other we play this week. This week is a must win. Pretty much every week is.

Thats what they did. They cut him, or they released him, or they waived him. It all means the same thing after the trade deadline because even vets have to go through waivers at that point.

He has one more call up. Potentially someone else is going to end up on IR and Beane can sign Gabe then or just waive someone else that is worthless on the roster. It's either that or they aren't getting out of him what they expect to.

I want to give you a laughing emoji so bad, but I can't because its just too damn true. My problem is not that he makes mistakes. He later tries to correct them at least. My problem is he keeps making the same one and then waits until its too late to correct them, only to go into the next season where he can make a real correction and then not make it.

I haven't watched this guy play for a long time. Does he still have anything left?

I don't see that happening, sorry. Just because they won some close games doesn't mean anything. They have been steady and winning all season. We have been all over the place. There is nothing to indicate we have the capability this year of winning 6 in a row. There is nothing to indicate they will lose 3 of their last 6.

Sorry bud but Im not wrong. We aren't in good position being the last seed of a WC with 3 teams within a game of us. I stand by what I said, we are in must win territory and losing to the Steelers could be the final nail. Being in good position means you are winning or at least have a chance to win the division and you have a little cushion. We burned through that cushion with 6 games to go. I'm not saying we won't make the playoffs. All I am saying is we have no more room for error.

Thats true but we also lost to a 2 win Dolphins team and a 5 win Texans team with a backup QB. Another team being bad doesn't mean a win for us. We lost to some crappy teams already.

On the flipside, we probably wont make the playoffs if we lose to the Steelers. Its a fine line bro.

Oddly, I think this team has done a pretty good job during the McD years against Watt. Getting Kincaid back would be huge if he is ready for this game. Its the safety blanket of Josh this year. Honestly, I think we would have won the Texans game if we had Kincaid.

Allen St near Como Park Blvd.

Smoke Brown was his similar to Lee Evans. Wish we had Smoke in his prime and still here. I believe Shakir could play Beasley role but they don't use him like that.

Small world indeed. I grew up in Amherst. I have a jerk neighbor across the street but other than that, I love this neighborhood.

Im in the village of Lancaster. I've tried two expensive indoor ones. I was able to get CBS on and off and some other things the one year, but thats about it. I do have a paramount+ subscription so didn't need the CBS lol. Maybe next year, if I can afford it, I will look into getting one on the roof. Thanks.

There has been so much hype around this new stadium. Everyone is excited. We arent going to get a home playoff game in the last year of Highmark. Unless maybe some funky stuff happens and we get the Chiefs. Then we go into the new stadium in a new year and we crap the bed again? What a disaster that would be.

Well TBH, I don't have ABC either and antennas have not worked in my house. I've tried two of them. Everytime I have looked at a MNF game it said it was on ESPN. For the Bills game I did a trial of some streaming service this year lol. Appreciate you though, bro.

Oh is it? I thought all MNF games were on ESPN this year?

Panthers turnaround is pretty crazy. They went from possibly the worst team in the league to possible playoff contenders. Unfortunately I dont have cable and I am not paying the overpriced ESPN streaming fees so I can't watch this game. I hate that MNF moved to ESPN.

Yeah and some people thought Houston only had the #1 Defense because of their schedule. How did that work out? It's time to admit the Pats are good. Maybe not SB good yet, but most definitely playoff good. They also, unlike the Steelers, have a legit QB.

We have to actually make the playoffs first. Not saying we won't but we are in must win territory every week as we are the last WC seed right now with 3 other teams within a game of us. One of them holds the tie breaker on us. Another we hold a tie breaker on. The other we play this week. There is no room for error just to make it. Of course their O didn't scare you. That was his point. You played against 50 year old Flacco and no Chase.

I'm not saying they should try to lose. I'm just thinking from a future perspective that it's probably better if they do. This team is devoid a talent and bloated with bad contracts. It needs a reset. Be realistic. This team is not winning a superbowl this year. If every player was 100% healthy, it still wouldn't win a superbowl this year. At best this team will win a wildcard game. At worst, they just miss the playoffs and still draft at the bottom of the draft.

I said last week that we were pretty much in must win territory. Now we are in must win territory. Honestly, I can't see this team making it past the divisional round anyways. There are some WC games we probably wouldn't get past depending on how things played out. I almost want to say we are in must lose territory now for better draft picks and a purge reset. Beane will probably still be here though so... As for the game itself... Pitts is physical. Not quite like last week but physical. This is the type of game that I could go in expecting to lose because of it. At the same time, those tend to be the type of games we turn around in at least for that week.

No. This is not the guy we need.
