    Cincy is a dangerous team. I would not want to play them with Burrow and they're going to get Higgins back.

     

    They're 4-8 with a win tonight and if Pittsburgh loses, the division leader is 6-6.  The division is not out of the question for them.

    They do this literally every season - get behind the 8 ball by starting out terribly, make a run in the 2nd half, and ultimately fall short

    Most of that holding in check is two Lamar blunders and a Likely blunder. They get some credit for causing it but it was avoidable stuff.

    Not saying you're wrong, but more pointing out that Burrow is not the only factor in Cincy's performance. The numbers bear that out. He's played solid but has hardly been some unstoppable force. That seems to be where the narrative is heading though

    Don't think that any playoff team will fear Kareem hunt and pancheo come play off time 

     

    Every team in the NFL has a couple of weeks where they run the ball solid 

     

    They're not a team  who's run game strikes fear in me 

     

    Kareem hunt averaged 3.5 yards per carry last week when he went for over a hundred yards

     

    Still kind of plodding 

    Hunt is their best back by a decent margin imo. Pacheco is one of the worst running backs in football

    Detroit is playing with zero urgency, I have no clue what the plan is here. They trust their defense to get a quick stop?

    They could be in the exact same position down 31-24 and have 5 1/2 minutes left on the clock instead of 3. The huddling is insane when you are trailing. There is a limited amount of possessions remaining and your defense struggles to stop anything.

    If the Patriots win the AFC East they have a very fun 2026 to look forward to:
     

    At Bears

    At Lions

    At Chiefs

    At Chargers

    At #1 AFC South (Indy)

    At #1 NFC West (Rams)

     

    That's brutal on the road

    home....

    Broncos

    Raiders

    Packers

    Vikings

    AFC North #1 (Ravens)

     

    even if they get the second and we somehow beat them we replace: Seahawks, Steelers, and Jags...

    There set in stone AWAY games are brutal.

    That's the one thing that could help even the playing field and prevent them from pulling away from the Bills too much, despite the massive edge in salary cap space. It will be nice to see them picking at the bottom of the 1st round as well. They do have quite a lot of picks though, including 2 4th's and 4 6th's.

    Higgins injury looked scary I think he was knocked out for a second.. he may not be back for a bit. 

    Yeah it definitely looked rough. It's possible he could still be out.

     

    Forgot to mention but Hendrickson missing another game certainly helped to offset the Oline injuries. I fully expect him back for the Bills too the way our season is going.

    I think it's cute how the Pats play Cincy without Burrow and we get to play him after he warms up for a week or two.

     

    Count your blessings PatsFan!!

    And Chase. And Higgins for a stretch. Maybe Chase will spit on someone from Baltimore Thanksgiving night?

     

    Jokes aside you know we'll be playing both those guys plus Burrow by the time our game rolls around, then we get the Pats coming off the bye

    The doomers are strong in this thread. The Bills just have to go 3-3 to make the playoffs. There is a small chance that if one of the losses is Pittsburgh then they miss due to tie breakers, but I don’t think it’s likely.

     

    If we can’t go 3-3 the rest of the way we don’t deserve to get in anyway.

    This is not necessarily true. The Bills can certainly get in at 10-7 but it will matter which games they win and require at least some decent fortune in other AFC results. For instance, if the Bills beat PHI/NYJ/CLE but lose to PIT/CIN/NE, they are completely screwed.

    I do not see them beating the Steelers. TJ Watt is going to abuse whoever is supposed to block him. I think Josh will be running for his life again.

    If we do it is likely going to be the same way a victory would've happened against the Texans - very, very ugly. At this point sign me up. We need a W in the worst way, especially given our struggles on the road

    I'm not even sure if 4-2 the rest of the way will get us to the playoffs, but we at least need to do that to have a chance.

    This is what I was just wondering. It likely will be good enough, but we may need to go 4-2 to ensure we get in. We already have a worse AFC record than all but Kansas City

    This week was really bad for the Bills and the playoffs. I wonder what the change was in playoff percentage before this week and after?

    It was 87 percent (albeit after the loss to Houston) to 82 percent now. That is a significant hit in one afternoon of football. The NYT model has us back up at 92 percent with a win against Pittsburgh but down to 64 with a loss. Next week is close to a must win - we would likely drop to 9th with a loss
