It'll just fuel the Bills. They are lousy at being front runners. Being the hunter versus the hunted, suits them better.

Just made my donation. Our local food bank is on my list of charities I regularly give to. They are able to stretch a dollar for maximum impact. I also know food banks are struggling right now as donations are down and food sources more scarce.

That means they'll throw 11 flags against the Bills and one against the Pats as a faux make up call.

Yes! Thank you for saying this! Plus...the "winning" teams that they have played and beaten were all missing key starters. The back up QB's that Buffalo played aren't much worse than the starters of those teams so there is no comparison on that level. We had our winning streak in the beginning of the season, so the Pats win streak is fresh in everyone's eye.

The fact that they released an O lineman may indicate we are about to get healthier in that area.

In light of Steven Sondheim's passing...this is quite appropriate.

I'm having deja vu.

Actually...I think if all the teams in the AFC north split...that would be the best scenario.

Correct. It's because 3 teams in the division have the same record at 6-5. That negates head to head and so you go to division record.

They have a better conference and division record.

Especially when you think of the supporting cast he's had since day 1.

I think the D line rotation we use limits our player's development.

It was the result of an ad campaign in 1975...being the city of hidden charm.

It's a tribute to a 14 year old fan that died in 2020...Mo Gaba.

I played with the Playoff Machine. We could win it at 12-5...if other games fall our way. But by the same token, if we don't win one of our next two, we could be the 8th seed if other games don't fall our way. There would need to be upsets. I mentioned this in another thread and a couple posters laughed. It's not funny...it is that precarious. Actually Virgil said it best...we need to split with NE. If we do it doesn't matter what we do in TB...presuming we beat the teams we should beat.

I think we'd have to win out. We absolutely need to win one of the next two games. We could be on the outside looking in if we don't due to other AFC teams getting tie breakers.

I know. And wishing doesn't make it so. At the start of the season, you thought the Big 10 would be a really great conference, but that did not prove long lasting. They are mediocre. The only teams in college football that have consistently looked good are Georgia and Cincinnati.

They should replay Michigan and OSU on a neutral field. Those are the 2 best teams in the conference.

I agree with you on that call and heard his comments. I actually saw a hold on the left side of the line and was surprised when they called the player they called. Having said that, the announcer in no way implied that the calls in the game were one-sided. If anything both announcers thought it was a well-earned win by Michigan. I agree. I don't see any QBs that should be in the mix this year.

C'mon...admit it. They did earn it. And I'm not even a Michigan fan. I personally can't stand Harbaugh. Michigan played a smart game. Run the football. Keep the potent OSU offense off the field. Don't let anything deep with their WRs and don't put the game in the hand of the Michigan QB.

Whoa...that's a little sour grapes. I actually thought there was holding on the TD called back, but not on the right side of the line. Face it...Michigan's Oline manhandled OSU, especially on the running plays. I'd love to draft that entire interior Michigan line. They were maulers. I also love Olave, WR OSU. That guy catches everything!

I'm also rooting for Michigan. (No offfense Yolo et al OSU fans.) It's just that OSU has become to the Big Ten what NE has been to the AFC east. I'd like to see a changing of the guard this year...if only for this year.

The NC v NC State game was great. I love when they focused on the couple...she was an NC State fan and he NC. He was gloating and cheering for most of the game and she sat there annoyed. They never did focus on them after NC State came back.

Why don't you stay home and sit this one out?

Once again NE faces a weakened opponent. Not only is Derrick Henry out of this game, but also AJ Brown. He has a chest injury. Dang!
