Success

Stroud is really good. The AFC is so stacked w/ QB's compared to the NFC.

I'm more confident in the tie now than I was 2 hours ago.

After 12 men & the Eagles making a 60-yarder against us - I think we all would have taken having a chance to beat the Dolphins for the 2 seed. It's nice to have the "back in" option - but maybe it's better not to have that.

Or, coaches like Belichick, the GOAT - who often went all out.

I'm upset about both.

I really think this kind of showing is bad for a team that is a fave heading into the postseason. Now they have 2 weeks to think about getting swept by their biggest rival. I'd be surprised if the Ravens were the AFC team in the SB.

It's not meaningless. They got swept by their biggest rival. Bad karma. I think it's likely they do not make the AFCCG. We can revisit that prediction.

I hope the Bills feel as ticked off as I do watching this game. Baltimore deserves a divisional round exit.

I have absolutely no fear of the Steelers.

I don't think you can win the Super Bowl if you get swept by a division rival.

It definitely looks like they're resting their starters. Oh, well. Go Titans!

I plan to wear my luckiest shirt.

Feels like we're getting an extra playoff game. The whole country will be watching, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

Should have done it in hindsight. Man, would I love to be in some warm weather right now, gearing up to watch my favorite team in a crucial game.

I'm interested in the games leading up to Sunday night - but not that interested. The chances we make the SB as a WC are - obviously - nowhere near what they'd be if we're the 2 seed. It's night & day. We'd need all kinds of breaks to make it as a WC, on the road all 3 games. So, no - I wouldn't rest JA.

I like that the 2 games we need are division rivalries. Normally, they'd be pretty clear cut - the Ravens resting starters, the talent differential between the Jags & Titans. But division rivalry games - as we know - are very unpredictable. And the last game of the year is generally unpredictable. Just feels like one of 'em has to go our way..

I didn't even realize they kept a stat like this. I don't like either of those things - lots of flags, and disproportionate against the road team. Just have to hope it has as minimal impact on the game as possible. We've certainly been the beneficiary of some officiating this year, so there's that.

Fun fact: Collinsworth was on the Bengals in our 1982 playoff loss to them. I remember that game. Ferguson hurt his ankle and could barely move. Frustrating.

I wouldn't be concerned about this game too much if not for our dominance over the Dolphins in recent years. That team is desperate not just for the 2 seed - but to change the narrative. We've been there w/ the Pats. We were futile against the Pats and unable to do anything about it, but that's more because of how bad our team was for years. Miami isn't a bad team. They can beat us, and will have that extra motivation. Still feel pretty confident, though. They are pretty depleted right now. Allen is better than Tua, and the Bills defense is better than MIami's. Homefield isn't as much of an advantage for them in January, and the crowd will be 50/50 anyway.

Just reading all of the discussion, and I love it. What a fun weekend of football ahead - 4 games at different times, all that have a huge impact on our playoff hopes, and culminating with a final game for all the marbles - division title & a #2 seed. I mean, as a great Bills coach once said...where else would you rather be? That ol' drought is long behind us.

Anything to put the Bills in a negative light. Wright will pick against us every step of the way - and when we win, there will always be some reason unrelated to actually deserving the win. I like the other guys on that show, but simply cannot watch it anymore. He's trying to become the heir to Bayless.

The Bills haven't been blown out once this year. Every loss (and many wins) have been incredibly close. I'd really like our odds. I mean, I always do - but we seem to be getting healthier at a time when most of the other contenders are having injury issues, and if we get the 2 seed, we may end up playing at home the whole way.

Either of those things could definitely happen. It's a weird year, and both are division rivalries. And both Pitt & Jax are pretty middlin' teams.

How can anyone not pull for a team to get their 1st title, in any sport? If the Bills don't get there, I'd love to see this match-up.

Huntley has a fair amount of experience, and he's been pretty solid at times. Heard the weather for that game will be miserable. Maybe he can lead the Ravens to a W in a close, low-scoring kind of game. Not counting on it, certainly. But it'd be nice.
