27-17 Buffalo

The results of this season as a whole and today in particular for each of our AFC East rivals have been nothing short of hilarious as a Bills fan

I don't disagree with any of this. I just think his firing points to a larger issue, which is the the entire Browns regime is incompetent and their roster build has been a joke. Even if you give them a mulligan for the epic disaster that is DeShaun Watson, what exactly has Cleveland done right? About the only thing I can think to give them credit for is building a solid offensive line. The rest of their team is littered with holes and a lack of talent. This goes way beyond Dorsey and points to Stefanski, Berry (who should have been fired 2 years ago), and maybe the worst owner in the league in Jimmy Haslam

Not a Dorsey fan at all but not sure what anyone could expect with the injuries and severe lack of game breaking talent he had to work with. Seems like a fall guy for Stefanski and Andrew Berry

So glad having to listen to Herbstreit call a blowout Ohio State game 🙄

That's the way it should be, but... I also look at the Burrow argument, which is absurd on its face when you have 2 #1 receivers. Does anybody remember what the Bengals did last year down the stretch? They went on the same run as they have this year with Jake Browning at QB. I'm not suggesting he is as good as Burrow or that the statistics were as impressive, but Cincy was in an almost identical predicament as in this year and they looked flat out dangerous and went on a hot streak as the season came to a close. Just like 2024, except with a career backup

He had one of those for 4 years and in that time produced at a record setting level. Now that player has been removed and Allen has still maintained his productivity. Am I to believe that the inherent bias that seems to exist against Allen will dissipate in the future if he is denied this year, especially when his rushing prowess may decline?

Outside of a few penalties the dude has been a complete animal. Brown was so up and down his first 3 years. It seems like he has really figured it out and is on the verge of becoming one of the truly elite RT's.

I'd like to see Zach Davidson get some play and staple Kincaid/Knox to the bench

This debate is absolutely toxic, and I fully admit that I have become too invested in the outcome. I just don't understand how statistical arguments are all of a sudden the most important this year; but even more so, I am dumbfounded that Jackson's stats in particular are being portrayed as so far superior to Allen's as though they are in different universes, like Lamar having 1500 more yards and 20 more TD's. The stats are really, really close, and if Lamar has a slight edge in the traditional stats, Allen certainly leads in many advanced metrics. To me, MVP means exactly as it says, and no man is more essential to his team's success or failure than Josh. I truly believe that if Allen doesn't secure the MVP this year he will never win one in his career.

Me, if it's not in September. The game in 2017 (McD's 2nd as coach) was brutally hot. 93 degrees with the sun beating down on you because there is no shade in Bank of America stadium. It was miserable

Agree with that. He has clicked with O'Connell. JJ McCarthy is not someone I would be pushing my chips in on The Dolphins absolutely blow. Self inflicted wounds over and over

Tyrel Dodson trying to help Buffalo out. It's really weird rooting for Miami

Um, I think Daboll was a goner regardless of today's outcome. I'll tell you who should be fired - the Colts DC for letting the friggin Giants and Drew Lock score damn near 50 points in a must win game. Horrendous

I'm not convinced that the Chiefs are going to be resting all their guys. Having 2 weeks off for everyone may be a disadvantage, plus there is always the added incentive of screwing your division rival out of a playoff spot. It's hard to believe and I've been downplaying it for weeks, but Cincinnati is getting closer and closer to the 7th seed. Every single thing they've needed has happened.

Poor Rich Camarillo, I remember that game clearly. Of course, the wind giveth and taketh away in Buffalo. The following year in 1991 Shawn McCarthy of the Patriots had a 93 yard punt that I don't think will ever be replicated. It was the longest kick since the NFL-AFL merger lol

We'll just have to disagree on that. Teams aren't coming into a matchup with the Bills fearful of Cook or designing defensive game plans around stopping him. He is a good player no doubt, but his impact on the field is not close to Henry's and the numbers bear that out. He also isn't capable of carrying the heavy workload that Henry is, which makes him less integral to the functioning of the offense and the ability for the quarterback to do his job

Cook is nowhere the near the level of Henry though, and he has barely half the rushing yardage. To act like they're similarly impactful players is ridiculous imo

Not a chance. Have you seen the Chargers offense? They can't score, which is not going to fly against Baltimore. Lately the Chargers defense looks highly vulnerable as well. I give Los Angeles no chance of beating the Ravens. They just don't have the horses

I think you're right. I might replace Mike Williams on my list with Ed Wang

To hear the prevailing narrative, yes. Nevermind that Henry runs for a buck fifty again and Jackson is throwing to guys open by 3 yards

Also, the stats aren't that different this year. Jackson has a slight edge, but people are acting like Allen's stats are somehow mediocre. Then you have to factor in the talent level of the players around the qb's. This adulation for Jackson and downplaying of Allen is highly annoying, and now Bills fans are even spouting it

Well, I don't think our chances of beating Baltimore increase if we play them on the road. They'll be the 2 if we drop to 3 lol

When you look at total TD's to turnovers it is very close, however. Through halftime of the Texans game: Lamar 41 total TD's, 9 TO's (4 int, 5 fumbles) Josh 38 total TD's, 8 TO's (6 int, 2 fumbles) The narrative that the stats are one sided is ridiculous. Then factor in who Jackson plays with on offense and I'm getting very annoyed with the bias against Josh. If Allen doesn't win it this year, he never will.

And it's supposed to be a steady rain all game. After 12 degrees the previous home game and a snow storm the one before that. None of that factors in to the MVP race though for some reason. Josh plays in the most difficult elements (wind/temperature/precipitation) more often than any other QB in the league.
