Peter King agrees with you regarding Pats/Bills Monday night. I would think that Dallas is a higher ratings draw which I assume is what ultimately would drive the schhedule.
Buffalo is routinely a very high draw...as are the Pats. Dallas may be a bit draw but if it's a rematch with the Cardinals...they don't typically draw views.
Will all depend on the matchups. They may want Mahomes in that spot no matter what though.

I have a feeling that a Pats/Bills round 3 would draw the Monday night slot.
Hoping for the earliest Saturday game. Don't want to spend the weekend with those playoff jitters😂😂

I think Baker is toast in Cleveland. They may start him next year...but I don't believe he gets that big payday. Guy has played injured all year and is trotted out in a pretty meaningless game. He's getting sacked left and right. And you keep playing him? Not what you may expect to see if a team values a QB long term. They are paying Keenum well and right now isn't worse than Mayfield by much.
Jackson is a hard case. He is just a special athlete. With that MVP he makes a case to get a contract right at or around Allen's. Not sure I would pay that for him. Huntley and Josh Johnson both played well when called upon. Between the cap savings and the incredibly bonkers amount of players/picks trading Lamar would likely bring...would be a great chance to reshape that whole roster...and it really needs it.

I doubt the raiders get passed the chargers. Carr looked like crap against the colts and technically they should’ve lost after he threw the 2nd INT. They’re going to be in trouble against LA
Again, sounds like their coach did a great job and they got a W when it should have been an L.
Wouldn't shock me to see a close Raider win. Chargers on the road in a divisional battle are no lock.

This was always expected. And it very well may have done them a favor.
Titans were using DH a TON. He would have likely been pretty worn for the playoffs. Comes back just in time to be well rested and fresh.

between him, ruggs. arnette and gruden the move to vegas is looking GREAT!
With all that drama and the lack of talent left in that roster the fact that the Raiders are a "win and in" for the playoffs is astounding.
Rich Bisaccia seems to have earned his paycheck this year.

Bates is this team's Ed Wang...but more firm and rigid of a player. Wonder if he knows Levitre? I hear through him you can meet Wood.

That would be amazing. Would love Tom hear the commentary. Maybe they can bring in Antonio Brown as a color commentator

Like I said...seriously injured. Anyway, the point is that Trubisky is as good as gone if he wants a chance to start.
As for Covid...in 2020 there were no vaccines, lots of people dying, and we didn't know what we didn't know. Now there are vaccines and the latest variant is a significantly watered-down virus that has everyone changing the way we think about Covid going forward. Who said there is no planning? I'm just talking about reality.
While I'm not wanting to continue the COVID talk here...because we both know how the waves ripple from other posters 😂 (more than willing to PM about it) I would be intrested to know exactly how many games in your definition is "serious"?
Look at this season. We are at week 18 and need a win to secure the division. We had a razor thin margin for error headed to the last 2 weeks to even get into the playoffs. Even 1 game could very well.mean the difference between a possible chance at a Super Bowl run and heading home after 17 games. That is the reality of today's parity filled NFL.

Which odds are those? Some guys are injury prone, and some guys are freaks of nature. I happen to believe Josh is the latter. What about him leads you to the conclusion that he is likely to be seriously injured? If the Bills can bring back Trubisky that's great; but it is also highly unlikely if he is a guy who truly wants another shot at starting (for the reasons noted above).
Covid won't be an issue next season unless a new, more serious variant emerges. And I continue to believe more and more folks will be vaxxed.
The odds that football is a physical game and even the toughest players miss time. Ankle rolls, landing wrong on a shoulder, concussion and on and on. And if I recall correctly the freak of nature has shown a human side and missed games his rookie year. Does that make him injury prone? No. But shows he's human and not impervious to being injured. And while Allen is tough and would likely try and tough things out having a suitable back up option is never a bad thing.
The bolded is kind of a weird response in my view. We heard the same thing last year. And the year before. Why would you expect next year be much different? Failing to plan is planning to fail. Project the worst and hope it's not needed.

I am hoping that unless some team offers Mitch a substantial opportunity in both money and possble playing time that the Bills make a serious attempt to being him back.
We have a physical QB and have dodged him being injured the last couple years. Odds say that won't always be the case. And anyone that watched Mannion attempt to play QB last night or has seen any Giants football for the past month should see how important the backup QB position could be to teams that hope to be in contention.
Add into that the possibility of COVID continuing next year with who knows what kind of strands it is better to be overprepared at the QB position than caught with the cupboard bare.

Not worried at all. I believe the last rookie to actually won a playoff game was Russ Wilson.
We have beaten the Pats 3 out of the last 4 games we played and the only thing that stopped us was a literal act of God in a hurricane force wind storm.
Their running game is good. They have 2 really nice backs. Their defense is good...but I think a bit over rated.
I say bring em on.

They struggled passing the ball. It was obvious. 11/26 120 3 ints. Come on man, you know this
They did. The 2nd quarter was especially bad. No way to deny that.
However, as much as people want to view the Bills as the "Buffalo Josh Allen's" and say he is the only hope...it is still and always will be a team game.
For me, it was actually refreshing to see that we can win a game where Allen is off, the passing game is out of sync and we need to make adjustments. I've been a Daboll basher for most of his time here, however give Ol' Bertrum his due...he made the call to switch to the run game and roll with that. The Falcons knew we were going to run and couldn't stop it. He called a heckuva 2nd half after nearly blowing it in the 1st half with cutesy and cocky playcalling.

And I'm sure the trolling accusations are coming. I'm not trolling. I'm being 100% serious. The way Josh Allen plays in inclement weather will NOT win very many playoff games.
Possibly not, however the late season emergence of the run game and Daboll's willingness to pivot to it will.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say "Eff the Jests." Worst fan base in the NFL.
They try and cling to a Super Bowl win over 50 years ago (that most of their fans base wasn't even alive for) like it's relevant to today's teams.
You know the difference between a Jests fan and a baby? The baby stops crying after a while.
The only difference between a Jests fan and a bucket of cow manure is the bucket.
You know the difference between a Robert Saleh defense and Marlboro? Josh Allen doesn't smoke Marlboro.
The ONLY thing I can get behind when it comes to the Jets is Zach Wilson's mom. Matter of fact, his new name is Stacy Wilson because his mom has got it going on.
Bills winning this one BIG. 37-13.

Browns being the early favorites make about as much sense as Baker Mayfield being in 40% of all commercials that are being forced on me during game time. He's not a good QB and the Bengals are going to destroy the Browns.
Honestly I would expect a Browns win in that one.
1. It's a meaningless game. Bengals don't really gain anything with a win. May rest some players.
2. It will give the Browns fans juuuuuusssst enough hope to think "next season is our year" yet again.
3. This is the Cleveland "Super Bowl".

I've seen it. It's literally worth nothing. It's made up fantasy that is the result of people trying to get attention on Twitter.
This is glorified fan fiction that in 2 years people will say "Hey, remember when Beane tried to trade for Barkley?"

They'll keep McKenzie and Davis for half the cost of Beasley and Sanders with no drop off in production, in my opinion. With the rumors of the Bills exploring a trade for Barkley, they're not opposed to spending some money on another offensive weapon. I'd rather have Patterson than Barkley especially since he'll cost much less.
Barkley rumors? What rumors? Oh, just the Twitter Clowns? Don't see that happening in the least.
And again...McKenzie doesn't nearly seem as valued to the staff as he is to fans. Would not shock me to see him rolled out along with Beasley (cap) and Sanders (age).

A story I've heard...
People say that Tom Brady, after college, went out one night to the crossroads of two highways in the Mississippi Delta. The legend says he stood at the crossroads for a long time. At exactly midnight, a large man dressed in black appeared. Those who believe the legend say the man in black was the Devil.
Brady begged the Devil to make him a talented quarterback. The Devil agreed, on one condition. The Devil promised to make Tom Brady the winningest quarterback in the world in return for Brady's soul. With little thought, Brady agreed.
Andy Dalton and Sam Darnold tried the same thing. Unfortunately they lacked the ability to pay up.

I'm pretty sure McKenzie won't be going anywhere, Beasly and Sanders may not be on the roster next year. We also still don't know what we have in Hodgins
I wouldn't be so sure. Even after flashing against Miami last season the Bills let him hit FA last offseason and didn't seem in a huge rush to get him back. Wouldn't shock me if they let some others team pay him a bit more than they would value him at.

To keep things sane lets remember the team we just ran on is the Falcons.
A team fighting for it's season. Correct.

Perhaps now we can see why McDermott wanted to be able to run the ball with success.
The Falcons knew we were running it in the 2nd half and could not stop it. It's almost like late season games often come down to being tough and physical. Who knew?
Oh, Sean McDermott did. That's right.

Ideal playoff time slot?
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Look at it from another angle.
Buffalo football, in January, on a Monday night against their division foes. Cold, blustery "football weather". Gives them the chance to relive the hurricane game. Toss reflections of John Madden and how much he would have loved to be there calling that one. They can tie in Brady and how we have emerged from his shadow. Lots of story there.
The NFL doesn't care about the temperatures and fans sitting there. They know for playoff football it will be packed. They make their money.
