After the results from the Thanksgiving game this is what's at stake Sunday:
With a Bills win-
Buffalo stays in 7 seed
Baltimore holds on to 4 seed and lead in AFCN
Pittsburgh drops to "in the hunt"
With a Steelers win-
Steelers take over #4 seed and lead in AFCN
Baltimore AND Buffalo move to "in the hunt"
Houston takes over the hold on the 7 seed.
I really think that with the tie breakers being what they are the loser of this game isn't likely making the playoffs.

Beane has really stuck his D— in the proverbial toaster wrt the receiver position this year.
What makes it worse is he was not only standing in the bathtub when he did it, he was also strongly defending why it was a fantastic idea, and that anyone who thought otherwise was a blithering idiot.
4 minutes ago, Maynard said:I get that, but not with Samuel. Guy has always been fragile and then to sign him to that stupid contract? I called it immediately and was 100% correct. Too bad Beane was again out thinking everyone else.
He's from Italy?

Curtis Samuel 2024 and 2025 with Buffalo:
529 offensive snaps
38 catches
334 yards
2 TD
~$16 million in cash
Beane admitted WR draft evals are hard. Looks like the UFA ones are worse given his track record.
And I believe when we cut him, he still counts almost $3.5M against our cap next season.
Curtis Samuel is officially the Jelly of the Month club. He's the gift that keeps on giving.

Well, to be honest, Joe Brady was a godsend at first with that run game, helping Josh keep his turnovers under control. Fewer INTs, fewer fumbles, and less running so less chance he gets injured running by some late tackler who wants to take him out of the game.
And, Buffalo was the #2 offense in scoring in 2024, and #1 overall, including the playoffs, which is no insignificant feat. We also saw some high-scoring games against Jacksonville, 47-10, against the Titans, 34-10, against Seattle, 31-10, against the 49ers, 35-10, and the really high-scoring games against the Rams, 42-44, and the Lions, 42-48. Then 40-14 against the NY Jets, and then 31-7 in the playoffs against Denver.
Now this season, he isn't even attempting to put out a decent game plan for whatever reason. Like against the Falcons, against the Dolphins, and that Houston game in which our beloved QB was sacked EIGHT times. Now this was a complete deviation from what he was doing last season by keeping an extra O linemen in to block, running "max protection schemes" or even running more against a team where their defense is weaker against the run and stronger against the pass. So he calls for more mid to deep throws?
It is like Joe Brady is attempting to get McDermott fired so he can be the head coach in Buffalo, or he wants to leave and go quickly. Did he get a head coach offer from the NY Giants? He is currently making what 1.5 million, and a head coach might make 5-10 million per year? Something's up?
Ken Dorsey had a cluster of games where the Bills scored high points. When he was fired, he had a top RATED offense. But, stats don't tell the whole story. They never do and quite frequently, whatever stats show one thing is good...we can find stats that say the opposite. There are too many stats these days.
All you have to do is watch the games. That's what tells the story.

If the NFL could, they would schedule games 7 days a week 365 days a year.

Nope. I am not accepting the "both starting OTswere out" excuse. Teams week in and week out miss multiple OL guys and still protect the QB
Next man up. I always hear how deep our roster is....time to see it.

He can’t even do that well. Plenty of data that shows he struggles there too
Can you provide some data that shows that? I searched and came up empty. What are you seeing that suggests this?
In any event, I would be shocked if "plenty of data shows" he can't do it well as it's something they haven't really asked him to do much if at all

Bills were in this position (6-6) a couple years ago. Bills won out and took the division. There is no division winning option for the Chiefs unless the Broncos should collapse harder than the Dolphins did that year. With the three wild card teams having four losses, even winning out doesn't guarantee them a spot. They lose head-to-head tie breakers with the Jags and Bills and I'm not sure how tiebreakers would look with the Chargers should the two teams end tied at 11-6.
I'll be rooting for a Texans victory over the Chiefs next week but if that doesn't happen, a Texans loss will at least go a long way in helping secure the Bills a wild card spot.
I'm at a point where I fully think the division will be out of play for us. Sure things can change fast...but I just don't see it
I'm actually rooting for the Chiefs next week. Houston has the head to head with us and are only 1 game behind. That could be an issue. We need some distance between us and them.
If, and yes it's a big if, we win this week we are two full games over KC and hold the tiebreaker.
It's about us getting in at this point, which isn't a guarantee.

I've always been an "optimistic realist" but here are the posts that most closely express my expectations for the season (some of them are contradictory):
As has been pointed out, the Bills have a recent history of going on late season runs and there are other teams have come from the depths of the wild card race to win the Super Bowl. There is much to be said about peaking at the right time.
BUT, the last post above by @Puckman5 resonates most loudly for me.
How can a team with a TE Coach AND a OL Coach who were both NFL Offensive Coordinators not get the offense straightened out???
The finger points to McDermott, IMO. Either he has more negative influence on the offense than we care to admit AND/OR his systems and culture do not allow for positive collaboration and honest self-scouting. It's unfathomable to me that Kromer and/or Boras don't have some good ideas on how to improve Brady's shyt show and yet even after the bye, we've seen little to no evidence that the offense is progressing in a good direction. Are Kromer/Boras allowed to provide constructive input into the offense? If not, why not? Are their voices welcomed in the room? Are they biting their tongues? Are their ideas dismissed?
And why do players like Samuel and Moore, who've put up good numbers elsewhere while never having played with good QBs come to the Bills and promptly disappear from the face of the earth even though they're now playing with an all-time great QB?
Mike Sando's "The Athletic" article about the failings of Raiders' OC Chip Kelly seem to apply verbatim to Joe Brady... that he's a college play caller who had short term success, but who can't raise his game now that the NFL has solved his offense. Brady has no answers and neither do those around him for whatever mysterious reasons.
The dysfunctional offense and the injury-riddled defense make me highly doubt that the Bills will be the team catching lightning in a bottle this season.
I hope I'm wrong.
The bolded parts are why I always struggle with promoting from within for the OC spot.
Now, I fully admit we don't know what we don't know. But to me, Kromer, Boras, Curry, Mangas..all of em along with Brady are part of the same offensive room. Now, like you said, if these guys are coming up with ideas and being dismissed, we have no way of knowing. But if they are collectively collaborating and coming up with nothing, how can it be justified that any of them should get the promotion? Again, we don't know if Brady is being arrogant and dismissive of any ideas or if they are a room full of bumbling idiots.
It's the same reason I didn't like Brady being promoted without a real OC search in the first place. He was part of Dorsey's "support staff" and couldn't help fix the issues we saw when Kenny was here tossing tablets. Why did anybody think he would be so much better?

Would really like to see the Bears win this game today. I kinda like when teams that have been bad in recent history turn it around, and frankly, I'm sick of the Eagles and Nick Sirianni's punchable face. Hate their fans, their pushing of tushes and their cheese steaks.

The last 15 well-travelled wr vets that have shown up at 1 Bills drive have said the exact same thing about working with Allen, but nothing has clicked unfortunately.
Absolutely correct. What's he going to say? "Man this Allen guy, I walked into the locker room and he tried to get me with a 'deez nuts' joke. What an immature moron".

Not many guys can say that they were a receiver for three tp 10 QB's of all time (Yes I believe in the end J.A. will get there).
He's also caught passes from Spencer Rattler. How you left him off that list is mind boggling.

I take Spencer brown not on ir as a good thing
More times than not, the Bills have been making the roster moves on Saturdays before the game when someone hits IR. So, not totally out of the woods yet
Also, in the last couple years they have had someone miss 4+ games and NOT have them on IR. He's still likely to miss a chunk of time IMO.

Was Tylan Grable’s 21 day window activated?
I believe it was, yes.
As far as Coleman, ok. Let's see if his benching lit a fire. I felt that he would see the field again due to injury. I'll be interested to see his snap count and if he's back in his normal role or seeing limited snaps.

At this point no outcome could really surprise me. What I do see is a Pittsburgh team that knows if they beat us, they move on to hold the 7 seed and we are "in the hunt". I see another post game "they wanted it more quote" coming.
Steelers-27

The Patriots or the Bills?
Bc I think he's done in this town. It would look *pretty* dumb to have a "mutual parting of the ways", after he approached the team looking for more snaps - only to come back on the Practice Squad.
Could simply be a case of him not finding somewhere else and coming back.

Exactly. People get mad at players picked high and end up underwhelming or an outright bust. Not Aaron Maybin’s or Whitner’s or Elam’s or Keon Coleman’s or Mike Williams or JP Lossman’s or EJ Manuel’s or CJ Spiller’s or Sammy Watkin’s or Greg Rousseau’s or Shaq Lawson’s or John McCargo’s or Erik Flower’s fault that the Bill’s GMs don’t know how to evaluate first round talent. Those players were smart enough to secure life changing contracts without ever playing a down of professional football.
I largely agree with you. My only beef with the ones you listed is Keon. And that's because he chooses not to put in the effort. Now, I don't think if he did he would turn into Drake London 2.0.
And to a point I still can pin a lot of blame for the pick on Beane. Coleman just isn't a guy that loves football. I think he just loves what football can provide. That should have been something they noticed in the pre draft process.

I don't hold any bad feelings for Elam. Guy is just trying to keep his NFL dreams alive. Good luck to him.
Shame it didn't work out here.

Green Bay vs Detroit

Cincy vs Baltimoregreat day of games.
I'm taking Green Bay, Dallas and Cincinnati today.
Detroit has looked off this year to me. Maybe the new OC and DC are still learning.
Baltimore has been on a win streak but Lamar has been flat out bad since he can back from injury. I think Cincinnati gets a small Burrow Bump that carries them to a win.
And Dallas's offense has been pretty good lately. Pickens and Lamb are a deadly duo. Today they feast.
I'm actually looking forward to tomorrow's Bears-Eagles Black Friday game. Chicago has def been a surprise to me this year.

Thoughts after watching the Colts, Chiefs, Ravens, Patriots, Lions, Eagles, Rams and 49ers
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
The first bolded part-
We have not one, not two but THREE games where our offense didn't get more than 14 points. With Josh Allen at QB, James Cook at RB and the same OL. That's more than inconsistent. That's malpractice.
The second bolded point-
I know it was a mental error slip up, but isn't it sad what you said fits with either Dorsey or Brady's name? One would have hoped that when Dorsey was fired we would do more than just tread water and not improve. Still having the same discussions about the offense.
