    Curious as to what happens if the tickets you purchase aren’t actually going to happen due to seeding and/or wins by other teams for and throughout the playoffs. 
     

    I’ve only ever purchased playoff tickets once they were a guarantee. 
     

    Do I get an immediate refund if they know the game is no longer scheduled at the Ralph? If so, am I able to transfer the funds as a balance to purchase tickets for wherever the Bills would end up playing instead? Reason I ask is I would be buying 4 tickets at a time, which is a substantial amount for 3 different stages of playoffs to have to be holding without access. 
     

    Also, and not that this matters, the only reason I am buying these now this time is due to the last season. I’m expecting a massive price gouging for resale given those circumstances. 
     

    Thanks. 

    I hope you like "Bills Bucks"...

    They have to actually invest real assets in the position and quit trying to play moneyball.

    I agree. 

     

    Honestly, I think if they have to overpay, then so be it. If it means a Julio Jones type draft day trade, or moving way too many picks for a Justin Jefferson, fine. That position can NOT be a weakness heading into yet another season next year.

    We've been running multiple TE sets all year and the Bengals are the worst in the league at covering TEs by a mile. This isn't some new cheat code that Brady unlocked.

    All very true. 

     

    However, I believe Brady needs to look at that game as a blueprint for how to make this offense work. Success this year on offense isn't going to come from WRs making plays. We need to run the ball, get the ball to the skilled TEs we have gathered and take a shot down field here and there when the opportunity presents itself. 

     

    The Bills will be at their best playing very boring football. 30 running plays a game, 10 yards at a time. Eat up the clock, shorten the game and limit the other teams possessions. The key to success this year is Josh staying patient and being happy to win boring.

    When you can attack the entire field, it opens up everything including the run game.

     

    This front office cant grasp that concept

    Their WR FA signings and reported trade target in Hardman, Cooks and Waddle all suggest they do, in fact grasp that concept. 

     

    We need to hope they continue that speed mindset in the off-season and go after some players that aren't just fast, but are known field stretchers. Having a guy like Samuel, that does have speed but using him horizontally doesn't really solve the issue.

    the hype was all Baker #1  as I recall though. Im sure that is debatable but it's my recollection

     

    Now it's clearly #17 as the best QB in that class.

     

    Im not biased

     

    much

     

    lol

     

     

    IIRC Darnold was the front runner for most of that process. He got passed by Baker sometime after the Combine, I believe. Then, the rumor a day or two before the draft was that Allen had emerged as a potential #1 overall pick, before those adolescent Tweets surfaced the night before or day of the draft.

    You sprain your toe / turf toe or do something that requires a walking boot you likely didn’t do it 3-4 days ago.  He’s been seen the last few days hasn’t he  and no report of issues.

     

    With us though it does seem like the same players getting dinged over and over!

    I really don't know. Maybe you can look into it?🤷🏼‍♂️

     

    Also, I haven't seen confirmation that it's a sprained toe/turf toe. Just speculation.

    I hear your point in the first paragraph, and think it's probably mostly spot-on.  But I disagree that this happens literally every season - at least not to this extent.  I've been obsessively following injury reports for decades and this year strongly jumps out as having a disproportionate amount of mid-week injuries pop up.  Like, by a factor of 10x.

    It may be more than other seasons. Sure. But I really think it's a matter of more people pointing it out more often, so it seems like a much bigger jump than normal.

    Trying not to be overly pessimistic...but what the hell is going on with this team and mid/late-week injuries? It's ridiculous. 

    I've mentioned this before, but I'll do it again.

     

    Most of the "mid week injuries" come from the previous game. These guys are constantly getting knicked during games, but between adrenaline, pain killers and just trying to push through, we don't hear about it. Plus a lot of injuries are worse a day or two later when the swelling starts. 

     

    The reason we learn about them mid week is because that when practice resumes and the Bills have to release an injury report.

     

    This happens literally every season, just people haven't talked much about it. Now it's a "talking point" on the season. And it is something that happens week in and week out for all 32 teams.

    Hope that Justin Jefferson and/or AJ Brown are available for trade. I'd give up two 1st rounders for Jefferson and one for Brown.

    Those two would be at the top of my list. I'd even throw in a player of it was needed. 

     

    While on the phone with the Vikings, I'd pivot to Addison if JJ wasn't available. Revisit Waddle. . whatever it takes. We simply cannot enter next season with a WR group that would get kicked off the land of Misfit Toys.

    People are enamored with the idea that the Bills should pick WR in 1st round. Only about 1 out of 5 chosen become 1,000 plus yard receivers and most don’t get there until 3 seasons in.  I am not saying do not make the pick if a candidate is there.

     

    I’m simply saying that the pick is not a lock.

    I agree, they shouldn't force a pick for a WR if it's not there. However, Is like to see them be aggressive and identify the guy they want...and then go get him. Enough of identifying a "cluster of guys" they like and being content with who is left. Take a swing if you identify a guy that has a good shot at becoming "the guy" at WR.

    In 2025 the strength of the Bills' passing game is with their TEs and RBs, rather than their WRs. That's why 12 (and even 13) personnel fits this team better that trying to force the ball to sub-standard WRs. Maybe that outlook changes in 2026 if the team makes a trade for a genuine WR1 (Justin Jefferson?), but for the remainder of this season and the playoffs, the focus needs to be on the TEs -- with occasional shots to the WRs when coverage dictates it.

    Agreed. If the Bills are going to go far in the playoffs, on offense it should look a lot like it did against the Bengals. Run the ball. Use all 3 TEs. Safe passes to the WRs and backs short, and if they can get a shot down field here and there...take it if open. 

     

    I know I would like a nice modern pass attack, but with the players we have it's just not possible. I will also say that this team is built to survive bad weather games on offense. We have seen a lot of snow, rain and windy games this era. This offense this year is built to survive that. Now we just need that intimidating defense to match

    the 2026 discussion is interesting...

     

    You would assume Davis and Cooks are gone. 

     

    Healthy Palmer (fingers crossed, but can we count on that from a planning perspective?), Shakir, Shavers, Coleman (he isn't going to get cut if I'm betting, just doesn't make financial sense) and a rookie or 2? Is THAT good enough? I guess it depends on who the rookie(s) is and their impact. We aren't going to be spending in FA because we don't have the money.

     

    Swing a trade for a disgruntled Justin Jefferson? I don't know. 

    Not entirely true. 

     

    I played around on the cap for next year and easily found about $50M. And that's not pulling every lever I could. Now, a chunk of that may go to sign our own and we do have other holes to fill, but there will be money, especially if contracts are stacked wisely. 

     

    The real issue at WR next year is aside from Pickens, who the Cowboys are rumored to be happy to tag, well the pickens at WR are slim. Not much there and a lot of teams that will be looking for WRs in the off-season. Means the mediocre WRs that are out there are likely to get paid well.

     

    Davis being back next year wouldn't shock me. They probably would have kept him if Jacksonville didn't offer him a ludicrous deal. In order to upgrade the WR room, Beane is going to have to be creative....and if trading he is probably going to have to overpay. 

     

    I don't see any way they can justify not spending high draft capitol on WR next year. And with the type of WR they have looked at and/or brought in (Waddle, Hardman, Cooks) they understand we lack speed. That's what I expect them to draft. Speed at outside WR.

    I wanted to take a step back from the week to week emotional roller coaster, because honestly, this season has felt ugly at times. We’ve been inconsistent, we’ve had roster holes, the injuries have piled up, and there have been stretches where we looked downright horrendous. But when you zoom out and look at the actual playoff field… it’s kind of stunning. The worst outcome for us is basically a 50/50 matchup, and probably not even against Mahomes. Could we lose to several of these teams? Sure. But the idea that we wouldn’t be right in every single one of these games is pretty silly. All of these matchups are close on paper or lean our way.

     

    I ordered them by how dangerous I think they are to us, and it made me feel way better about our prospects. Probably as good as I ever have felt. 

     

    Houston

    If this matchup happens, it’s going to be tight. They’ve played Allen as well as anyone the last two years. 23–20 loss last year, 23–19 loss this year. Both games were basically a pass protection disaster for us and our offense slogged. It will be a race to 21. A true toss up.

     

    Field: Colts, Ravens, Chiefs, Bengals

    Colts seem cooked, but the other three would all be battles. Nothing new there. Ideally we avoid these teams as long as possible, but none of them are some unstoppable monster. All 50/50 type outcomes.

     

    Jacksonville

    A tick ahead of Buffalo in DVOA and playing really well. Coen has completely changed their trajectory. They’ve got legit wins: Chiefs, 49ers, Texans, Chargers. Matchup wise, their defense is built to take away the run. Offensively they’ll try to run a ton, even though the efficiency is mediocre. They’ve had our number a bit, but how much does that really matter now? I see this one similar to Houston,  toss up, maybe slight edge to Buffalo.

     

    Denver

    Last year’s Denver team was actually rated better in DVOA than this year’s version. Last year’s playoff game was 13–7 halfway through the third quarter until the Ty Johnson 4th down play cracked it open. This year’s Denver? Not as good. It’ll be a game, but Buffalo should have the edge.

     

    Los Angeles 

    DVOA basically has this team as a .500 group. Tons of OL injuries, very up and down, and outside of those early big wins vs KC and DEN, it’s been pretty uneven. They can’t stop the run well, and while they want to run a lot, they’re not efficient. This could be competitive for a bit, but Buffalo should have an edge. 

     

    New England

    This NE team is the lowest DVOA 11–2 team since 1978. Run defense is slipping. They don’t run the ball particularly well. Maye flashes but he’s still a young QB.

    We all saw the first matchup, tons of things went wrong and it still came down to a FG. This is a Wild Card level team which isn't an insult to them. It's good progress.  We should win in Foxborough and I expect we will.

     

    Pittsburgh

    We just match up too well here. We own Tomlin lately, and they had no schematic answers on either side of the ball. Complete mismatch in the ground game and QB play. This is the most comfortable matchup on the board.

     

    Good assessments. 

     

    Of course a lot can change between now and then with injury. Let's hope we stay healthy and other teams catch some injury bugs lol

    Different game here but didn't fans who are color blind complain a few years back when the Bills and Jets wore all red and all green game. It's very rare one team isn't wearing white. Tampa going with the old school classic looks nice. 

    IIRC, reds and greens are the hardest colors for colorblind to see. While watching that game it looked so hideous I was wishing I was color blind for sure 

     

    These are two of my all time favorite throwbacks. The orange should play well against the black

    All this bitching and moaning about Worthy being as bad as Coleman (he's not) is just sophistry designed to distract the entire world from one simple fact: Mahomes is not playing well this year.

     

    Josh is a bit up and down but Bills fans have way more to complain about with Coleman because 1. the plan was for him to be our best WR and he's not, even though the entire room is stocked with JAGs and 2. Josh, while a bit up and down, is having a slightly better year than Mahomes in spite of having lesser talent at the WR position.

    Saying Worthy isn't as bad as Coleman is kinda like saying a dwarf is taller than a midget. While true, it's still not a great accomplishment.

    Who is losing sleep over Worthy and scheming to stop him , he’s irrelevant at KC. 

    While I don't think anyone is losing sleep, his speed dictates how you defend the Chiefs on some level. He has wheels that have to be taken into account. Coleman doesn't even add that

    Yeah okay, do you really think Palmer makes a difference? Bosa is a maybe, but I doubt he plays. Of course Hoecht isn’t playing and as the poster said Oliver is out. I think what he meant is, things were worse.

    Palmer makes a difference because of the next man up principal. With him there, Coleman and Shavers see less snaps. He is better than those two. 

     

    Were things worse? Sure. But let's not act like other than Oliver no one else that's missing or likely to be matters. Heck, I didn't even mention above Spencer Brown may well miss this week too. Does he matter?

     

    Overall, yes. It seemed like earlier this season we would lose 2 players for every one we got back. Now it seems we are getting 2 back for every one we lose. But there's still a LOT of guys that will miss this week. And that includes guys on season ending IR.
