Actually, I don't include the Pats among the best...though admittedly they are good. I was thinking Green Bay, the Rams and the Cowboys and TB (prior to all their injuries). I initially would have included Arizona...but Kyler Murray has not been playing as well of late.

I do think that the best teams this year are in the NFC.

I learned last night that a former employee and good gal...who was a huge Raiders fan...passed away in November. When the Browns took the lead and then got the INT...I looked up to heaven and said...Linda, they need your help. I swear I heard her say..."It's not over yet." Guess it wasn't.

Sometimes the playoff machine doesn't update correctly so it may have been a misfire. Go Raiders!

The key game is the week after that. The Chiefs need to win at the Bengals.

It's the opposite...if the Browns win tomorrow we move to eight. If they lose we stay in 7th.

The Panthers have a solid pass rush and with our wounded oline with most playing out of position, you knew it wouldn't be a cake walk. I think not having a kicker, either simplified the Carolina game plan. You just go for it on 4th down.

Colts would be nothing without him.

NE defense looked like the Bills on that play.

I used the playoff machine as well using that same strategy. I picked likely winners of games based on winning percentage etc...not what I'd like to see... and the Bills were not out. The losses in the AFCN have helped the Bills. It is likely that only one team from that division gets in. They will be eliminating each other down the stretch. I see KC and the Chargers in from the west, Tenn and Colts from the south, NE and Bills from the east and either the Bengals, Browns or Ravens in from the north.

But the chances of 3 other AFC teams also go down.

Even if they lose to NE, because of so many divisional contests the Bills stand a good chance of getting in at 10-7.

The best the Bills can finish is 11-6. They could get the number one seed but that would require no team getting to 12-5 or teams we lost to head to head finishing 10-7. So there would need to be upsets...Den beating KC and Chargers; Pitts, SF and Miami beating Tenn; KC beating Chargers next week; and Colts losing to Cards. Those last two wouldn't necessarily be upsets.

If the Bills win this weekend and the Colts beat the Pats, if we beat the Pats in NE and win our last two, we take the division. Root against the Pats.

Thank you for the clarification. Wish the commentators knew the rules.

I agree with you that it wasn't a penalty. The gunner wasn't forced out in my opinion...but then immediately came back in bounds. That should not have been a penalty. Okay...so just going out of bounds on your own constitutes a penalty irrespective of the player making an effort to come back in bounds?

They said the player can't purposefully go out of bounds on the punt. Then they added if he does he must make an attempt to immediately come back in bounds. So...I saw the gunner run out of bounds then immediately come back in bounds. So what's the foul?

It's been great. And I just posted this in around the NFL...but oh those Green Bay special teams.

Oh those Green Bay special teams.

You know Beast...I was just thinking that if the Bills could play like they did in the second half the rest of the way...barring one-sided officiating, we could beat anyone. It's their dang inconsistency that is so mind boggling.

The Bills should make the playoffs if they win 3 of their last 4 games. Having said that...I think the SB winner is in the NFC this year. I don't see any AFC team that is a cut above the top 3 teams in the NFC. Having said that...week to week...I don't see any team that is a clear cut champion, and after today's game, the refs can definitely have a say so.

No were not. We're the 7th seed due to the Bengals loss as well.

Bowles is gonna blitz like crazy. Be ready Josh!

In theory I agree. However we do not have a physical enough oline to run the ball.

The other Josh Allen played inspired football and literally took their defense over.
