He has the potential to be.

On special teams. Defensively he has 21 snaps in 2 games.

I was hoping they'd release Andre Smith at L B.

They could end up releasing him when Thomas comes off IR.

I'll give you that one. Allen played pretty well in that game with the exception of one bad INT. Roberts and our defense killed us along with too many flags.

I was just on the playoff machine and as I was setting teams that KC beat to lose, I have Bills winning out and Steelers winning out and KC losing out, Ravens to split. Then I have in Week 16, Vikes over Saints, Phins over Raiders, Bengals over Texans. In week 17, I set Raiders over Broncos. That puts us in the number 1 seed. Outside of KC losing out, this could be plausible. So the chance is miniscule, but it does exist. Nice job MJS!

This especially makes sense when you see how much Allen worked on his mechanics in the off season to improve his accuracy. Anything that would throw those mechanics off would have an impact.

I really can't agree with you that Josh's injury didn't have a negative effect on his play. His accuracy was off during those games with the ball sailing high. Even Hasselbeck said on ESPN that he had a similar injury in his non-throwing shoulder and wearing a brace threw his mechanics off...with the ball sailing high. As to your other two points, I agree that scheduling and our defense not being healthy (especially Edmunds shoulder) impacted those games.

Really like the dark mode. My eyes aren't as young as they used to be. I appreciate the greater contrast.

Recall that Allen sustained his shoulder injury in the Raiders game. After that game Josh wasn't himself for 4 weeks. In those 4 weeks Bills played the Titans, Chiefs, Jets, and Pats. Our offense sputtered in those games. The 5th week post injury, Bills put up 44 against the Seahawks and our offense was back. I suspect the Bills will have more emphasis on the pass this game.

Wow! Just Wow!

It depends on Miami and the Colts, but I'd like that, too.

If there is a 3-way tie at 12-4, head-to-head tie breakers don't apply. It goes to division and conference, and the Bills own those.

I think the only way the Titans can get to 2 is if they win out , Browns lose to the Jets and the Bills and Steelers lose out.

I like that sentiment. Don't let losing even enter the Bills equation.

Divisional games can be tough. Texans lost 42-36 at Titans earlier in the season.

Yes. I believe that is correct. And depending on what Miami does in Vegas, we could end up playing either Ravens, Dolphins or Browns. Actually there is also a scenario we could play the Titans if they lose out and finish with the 7th seed. Lots can still happen in the 2nd to 7th seeding.

You are correct. We could finish as low as the 4th seed if Pitt and Titans win out and we finish 12-4.

We can't get there. And with today's loss neither can Pitt. Chiefs are the 1 seed.

Thank goodness for the ESPN Playoff machine!

Nope. We can't get the number 1 seed with the Chiefs beating the Saints. They have strength of victory tie breaker. Best we can do is 2. And I believe with today's loss, the Chiefs have sewn up the number 1 seed. They hold tie breakers in both two and 3-way ties at 13-3.

They are in but they could end up the 7th seed.

No. Best Titans can finish is 12-4. If Bills win next week and Colts beat Steelers, then best Steelers can finish is 12-4 with a win over the Browns. Assuming Browns beat the Jets, if Steelers lose to Browns then they would finish 12-4. Bills hold tie breakers over all teams in this 3 way tie scenario and will get the 2 seed.

Nice win, Cincy!

I never realized but Tomlin does look like Omar Epps, especially with the mask.
