I think if either the long term coaches from that division are canned it will seal McDaniel's fate in Miami. Ross cannot resist big names. And truthfully, a Tomlin or Harbaugh is probably needed to reset the culture down there. Refocus guys from the club scene to the football field.

That's probably the closest thing to the truth in this thread. Seems a lot of weeks we have an either/or and not a both. Though I will add this about play time and such. McDermott values guys being in the right place in the defense at the right time. I don't know who is supposed to be where at what point so I can't say who does it better, but that is valued with this coach.

I'm so glad there may be a happy ending here

He's coordinated a defense ONE season...20 years ago. And then double down with Daboll? This HAS to be satire.

Why would we want that? Tomlin has less time as a DC than Babich.

With both defenses being not so hot and both offenses being able to pile points, naturally this will be an ugly low scoring affair. Bills- 20 Bengals-11

I'd take Jaylen Warren as a back up RB lol. He does well when he's more of a change of pace guy. I'd take Darnell Washington, that mammoth TE. Who knew that the son of a man nicknamed "Ironhead" would be so soft.

Pittsburgh didn't trade Pickens because he lost his starting job and played horrible this year. Slay was even an healthy scratch at one point this year. Howie makes moves every year that don't work out. Just like every GM. Just as an aside, is there somewhere that even says the Eagles wanted him back that I missed or is this personal speculation dressed as fact? In any event, what's best for the Bills? Pulling in a vet on the way downside of his career, or getting out promising looking first round CB the most possible snaps and on field experience before the playoffs?

Don't like it. He hasn't been good this year and it's one more guy that may take snaps from Hairston. Unless he can play the NCB role

I suspect Bosa is out for this one, which sucks due to the Bengals not being good on the OL and Burrow being a statue. I will even say he misses a second game...but I don't mind him missing the New England game actually. Maye is shifty, probably not getting too many sack opportunities...but Bosa out means maybe we have someone in there that will set the edge against a good running team in a possible bad weather game.

And this is an example of why I say stats without context are meaningless.

Mine is a seemingly meaningless game against the Dolphins. The one where Hyde took the onside kick for the TD. It was the first game I took my son to. Being able to share that right of passage with him was a top 5 moment in my entire life

Well though out and presented. However, the one area I split with you, like many, is that Baltimore in Baltimore is far from a dream scenario. In fact, I would place that under more of a nightmare scenario. Worst possible outcome type thing. That team playing at home plays on another level. It really doesn't matter that Buffalo has beaten Baltimore twice in the playoffs. Those teams are not this team. In fact, I would put the Bills getting the 6 seed as a better spot. Likely playing either Jacksonville or Indy. Then with a win, we would likely head to whoever the 1 seed is (Denver or Patriots).

After last night, the Patriots can clinch the division, in their house, by beating Buffalo. They will be there with purpose. In fact, I read today that the only way the Bills can win the division, is to win out and have the Pats lose to with Miami or the Jets. The pathways are getting mighty narrow.
