Lamar looked awful yesterday. Not sure what’s going on with him, but he’s clearly playing with a pretty legitimate injury. If he can’t get healthy, it seems like a ticking time bomb that might put him back on the shelf. If the Browns had anyone not named Shadeur Sanders at QB, they win that game.

Kyle Brandt with the most sobering, accurate breakdown of the current state of Buffalo that truly makes you loathe Brandon Beane. He doesn’t say we can’t win it, we can.. because we have 17. But it looks like, again, 17 has to be elite 4 games in a row to win a Super Bowl. If he’s elite in a couple and good in one, we lose the game he’s only good in and it’s rinse/repeat.

Bengals somehow beating the Pats would be so clutch, not just for obvious reasons, but because that Thanksgiving game against the Ravens would have juice. Probably will anyway, being on the holiday, but CIN has an outside shot if they can beat NE.

Outside WR’s: Palmer Gabe Shavers Slot WR’s: Shakir Samuel vs Coleman vs Moore KR/PR: Hardman That’s how I’d view this from here on out. Hardman is on a short leash with the fumble and being unable to reel in the deep throw, but did have a 61 yard return and got open deep. I’d give him more time as KR/PR and a package of plays in the Offense. The people who liked Keon in the Draft, liked him as a big slot. Looks like we can/should finally play him there IF he can get on the field.

I get it, but I think we can all agree going into Baltimore WC Weekend because we lost the division by losing games to a couple terrible teams is about as gross of an outcome as possible. We clearly can beat them, but unless this run defense gets fixed, I’d rather play literally anyone else. That includes Indy, because our Defense is capable of stopping the run when the QB play is meh.

Would be super cool if this started happening with NE. Just can’t imagine they go an entire season without dropping a game nobody saw coming, but so far they’re batting 1000.

Will it? I don’t care about going into Denver, Indy, Jax, NE etc. KC is currently at 55% odds to make it in and if they do, are coming to Buffalo. Having to go to Baltimore in the WC is about the worst case scenario of any potential scenario we can come up with.

Bengals lose to the Pats or Ravens and im not sure why you’d bring Burrow back to risk getting him beat up fresh off injury. Well obviously be rooting for them in both of those games. And if they somehow win those two games, we almost assuredly will see Burrow.

Ty Johnson looked like the guy we had last year. Really good to see. Ray Davis was a beast on KO returns. Cook, not much in the running game, but we involved him in the passing game. Loved everything I saw from our 3 man RB room.

Bills win out and the Pats just have to lose any other game outside of us beating them. Thats likely the path because the Pats, so far, don’t look like a team making the mistakes that allow them to lose to inferior teams. Best bet is back to back L’s to Bills and Ravens. In terms of the 4 seed, if we’re the 5, yup… looks most likely to be the AFCN, but if the Ravens get hot against an easy schedule, look at the Colts schedule, they could easily fall apart and the AFCS winner could also be the 4.

We signed the guy who played the Hoecht role in LA before Hoecht.

They have to ban this play. Utter nonsense all the time with the Eagles.

Maybe that random Wal-Mart Hoecht guy we signed can do something because Solomon gives us nothing besides ST’s and the most absurd delay of game penalty before half.

Chiefs/Colts is a massive AFC game. Chiefs lose, they may actually miss the playoffs. Colts lose, could be the start of the wheels coming off. 4/6 games are tough with the other 2 being against Houston, who if we can beat them, may be playing for their playoff lives against Indy.

Bills can stop the run against one dimensional teams. It’s the teams who also scare them with the pass that turns them into Swiss cheese.

Goff looks like the cold is affecting him

Its always been why our ball control run obsessive offense makes zero sense. You have to be able to run, yes … but to the extent we’re running: JA has no juice or rhythm, games are shortened and teams can grind out against our finesse by design gap penetrating Defense.

When healthy, I think we need to get to a place where our Back 7 is Shaq Thompson, Dorian Williams, Taron Johnson or Cam Lewis, Hairston, Benford, Bishop and Hancock. Poyer gave up TWO touchdowns today with poor angles. Bernard playing hurt is a mess. Sit him and rest him up.

Defense is a joke. Down Oliver and Hoecht shouldn’t make them this bad. We invested heavily into this group and they’re more pathetic than ever. Josh Allen unleashed can beat anyone, but looks like another year of him having to drag us through the Playoffs, but hey.. maybe the Chiefs don’t make it. Sidenote: Already preparing myself to be sick to my stomach as the 5 seed having to go into Baltimore if Pittsburgh can’t take the Division.

Ravens tied it up. Unless Browns Defense scores, don’t see how Cleveland pulls the upset. Sanders looks completely ridiculous back there… XFL type QB’ing.

They just showed the back view. I don’t think he did. Cleveland challenging.

Touchback?

Josh Allen had some frustrating moments but he battled through them and that felt like an “I’m back” game.

Seems like it was the receivers. Offense looked vintage Bills with Keon down and Gabe/Palmer up. That said, we were ALOT less predictable today, so some blame to Brady as well. Hopefully he’s learned from this.

Second TD today he’s given up because he has cement shoes.
