All those guys have a combined 2 Super Bowl wins. Main reason they don't have more IMO is that they were not given enough talent to surround them. Much like Allen this season. Perhaps he goes on a Joe Flacco-like playoff run and single-handedly wills the Bills to victory for the next 8 games. Heck, he almost did it against the Bucs on Sunday. While I can admit (and hope) anything is possible, I believe it is also fair to point out that it is at the very least improbable.

"People like me" are pissed we are down to a 7% chance. And rightfully so. You have literally wiffed on every single assumption on me worse than Brandon Beane wiffed on his "run it back" idea with this offensive line. Your entire post is spent telling me what I "probably" would say. You provide zero counter opinion, add absolutely nothing pro or con to what I was saying. Not everyone needs to be of single and simple mind to say "Yes! Love everything this team does". This season isn't and hasn't been a matter of the "ball landing the wrong way". This season has been about missed opportunity due to not improving on what we had last year. If your have a differing opinion...please...enlighten us all as to all of the glowing bright spots not named Allen or Diggs. Or just keep being content to be in the playoffs. Some just expect a bit more.

We sent them they Jags and now the Jets? No wonder foreign countries hate us so much😂

Might be time for a new prescription. 😂😂

It's not and enigma, though. It's a team that has walloped bad teams and lost to good ones. The 1 and 8 are really nice and I know right now thats what people need to cling to. But this isn't a team that has been talented enough to win close game. This isn't a team that can win in the trenches against good teams. Also, I find it absolutely ridiculous that many are yelling about the "stats say". Watch the game! Stats are not universal. We have played quite a few games this year against back up QBs and in bad weather that limited offenses without a QB with an arm like Allen. However almost weekly we see that "top defense" exposed with big plays, bad penalties, not coming up with a step when you NEED it. On offense...great...wow what a ranking. Now look up their red zone numbers. Look up where this line is rated. It's absolutely ridiculous to think that all of these issues will be solved just because....well it's playoff time.

Takes a bit more than just a QB to win in the post season. How many games haa Rodgers lost in the post season where he was the better QB? Brees? Marino? Fact is Allen is dangerous. Our oline will be the Achilles Heel....as we have seen all year long. It's wonderful that we have a "top 10" offense and defense. Even with that we are still 3-5 in our last 8 games and pretty lucky to have the Panthers, Falcons and Jets as 3 of our last 4. We will again feed of bad teams and most likely be 1 and done when it matters if this season has been any indication. However, yes once post season starts anything "can happen".

John Cena is also rumored to be in the photo.

Well we aren't. We are 7-6 and playing below .500 over the last 8 games. Good teams find a way to win tight games. We are middle of the pack due largely to coaching and bad line play. That isn't changing this year. It really has a drought era feel, doesn't it?

Love the positive outlook here. However the Bills are exactly what their record says this year. And for the reason you listed. Inconsistant play. They are constantly inconsistent so to speak. And while facing Josh Allen in the playoffs isn't an easy task...I can't figure anyone is trembling in their boots to play this years version of the Bills that is 0-5 in close games, 3-5 over the last 8 games and has a swiss cheese offensive line. Especially physical teams that can have success running the ball (Tenn with DH back, Colts, Pats, Browns, and even the much improved lately Chiefs all spring to mind). Other than POSSIBLY Tennessee with a rested up Brown and Henry coming back and the Chiefs that are really looking like last years version, there really aren't any teams that would stand out as a team "no one wants to face in the postseason".

I could easily see another restructure with him. Buffalo could also go out and try and get Bradley Bozeman of the Ravens or even Austin Corbett of the Rams as younger upgrades if they hit FA. Depends how they view Morse and what they want to do with the interior of that offensive line. Judging from what Beane has done in the pats, a restructure to free up money and drafting a C to mold behind him seems like it's most likely, unfortunately.

Not stupid at all. I only learned that this last offseason when Tyreek Hill refused to allow the Chiefs to restructure him. The articles I read all mentioned that he and his agent had that removed from his deal and it wasn't typical. The major thing I think about with Beasley is that while he has been great, Allen would still have capable weapons. Diggs will still do Diggs things. Knox has made a jump and continues to be a bigger weapon as the season goes on. Davis is really under used...and if we can improve that line not only would it keeps Allen upright as you said....but it just may help bring a bit of a run game back and take even more pressure off Josh Allen to be excellent every game. Even if they keep Beasley next season he really isn't part of the long term at his age and the way injuries have and may continue to pile.

Most player contracts have built in language that makes it so the teams can restructure without player permission. That usually extends to converting money into signing bonus where players don't lose anything. I do believe they have to gain approval drom the player to extend voidable years and such. I agree releasing Poyer would be a huge gap. Not sure I agree that Beasley would be a huge net loss. Yes, he is amazing at getting open...however this is 2 years in a row he's played through (and been hampered by) injuries. At his cost I would rather that his money and combine with money we get from Sanders expiring contract and get a new (younger) WR. A guy like DJ Chark with his speed or Gallup would be really nice. Increase Gabe Davis's role and I don't think the drop off is too bad.

IIRC, there would also be about $9M in dead cap from cutting those 2. I could see them restructuring both these guys again. I do think Beasley could be a cap causality and well as AJ Klein. Those 2 would clear about $13M with a dead cap of less than $2M The Bills have quite a few contracts they could restructure as well (Tre White, Perhaps Diggs, Dawkins.) In any event there are tons of options for the Bills to clear some big bucks for shiny new toys. My biggest hopes for FA are (if they hit the market) G Connor Williams and C Bradley Bozeman. I'd rather keep Poyer and pay the 6.7M we don't really have anyone to replace him with and he is still playing at an extremely high level.

Are you inferring the players aren't intelligent enough to comprehend tweaks to the gameplan?

Maybe he was wearing flip flops🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Yea, as realistic....and equally stupid. Got it?

In today's day and age with all the Tablets and instant access to data...if you wait until halftime to make adjustments you are already 2 quarters behind. There are teams that make adjustments on the fly and make tweaks all game long.

Dorsey would be one name to watch. Another name not to discount would be Chad Hall, our WR coach. This is, of course, if they promote from within.

That's a bit of an hyperbole. Regurgitated enough that many simply accept it as fact. And you are asserting that the league...all by itself with zero knowledge or accecptance of the owners fixes the games through officials. And the teams that are on the short end of the stick just continues to turn a blind eye, throw up their hands and say "Awe, shucks" and then continue to extend the contract for the man in charge of it all...the Commissioner. I really used to get offended when people from foreign countries would rag on the intelligence of the basic American. Then through the wonders of the internet I find that fine folks such as yourself exist. I owe a few people from England an apology.

Listed a 6'6" and 340. That would be a mighty slab of beef to throw in the middle.

I would suspect Schreff to get a very big payday...but Bozeman (already want to nickname him Boss Man) and Williams would be magnificent. Draft a 2nd guard and please also grab a competent OT as a swing T or if Dawkins doesn't bounce back.

Will they, though? Pats just recently gave up 200+ to some Tennessee practice squad level players. They may do better than Buffalo did, bit JT having 100+ and a TD or 2 is certainly possible.

If the NFL is scripted that means better coordinators were not part of the script. Perhaps when Sammy Watkins leads the Lizard People from the sewers to take over the NFL the games will be legit and Buffalo will become the Football Champoins of the Flat Earth.

Allen should be left out of the convo this season. Yes, he's playing great and really carrying our offense. However if you want to be league MVP you gotta win a few of these close games. Those are the games that define an MVP campaign. Buffalo being 7-6 and 0-5 in tight games sinks him terribly.

My biggest take aways from watching this game: - I wish we hung on to Jordan Phillips rather than spend the same money on the guys we brought in - Kyler Murray looks like a drunken toddler when he runs - With both McVey and Kingsbury on screen so mich I could smell the Axe body spray through the TV -AJ Green can still play - I don't know what it is but I could easily see both these teams going 1 and done in the playoffs despite all the big moves they both made.
