Given the expectations of the team, those odds are almost unfathomable

If this plays out like it looks it will, we will be on the outside looking in with a Browns win against the reeling Raiders tomorrow. Pretty much everything comes down to the game in Foxborough

Agreed. It's great to see the Pats lose, but it is a bit disconcerting to see that the NYT playoff machine has the Bills odds of making the postseason about 12 percent lower with the result. Nonetheless everything is right front of us and our odds are still decent at 78 percent even if we just win the 3 home games. Time for the team to buck up, seize the opportunity, and start playing their best ball when it counts the most.

There's probably not a qb in the league who wouldn't outplay Wentz tonight

Yeah there were a few negative comments. It's weird that Fox has this game as its a big AFC matchup. I will say this, Burkhart and Olsen as Fox's #2 team is much more preferable to me than Buck and Aikman.

He's outstanding. Surprised at some of the hate he's gotten in this thread

You COULD make the argument that a New England win would be better for us. It hurts one of our main WC contenders, and we can still win the division by running the table and having Miami beat the Pats in South Florida week 18. I am not going to make that argument😃

Yes, and there is also the possibility that the Bills could still win the division even if New England beats the Colts. Bills would have to run the table and root for Miami to beat the Pats week 18 in Miami. Not as farfetched as you may think, given how Miami is playing well and always gives New England a game. I think they are 8-8 in the last 16 against them.

That I believe is from the NYT if the Bills just win the 3 home games and lose to the Pats. If the Bills only win 3 games but one of them is against NE, the odds go to >99 % Possibly in which case the Bengals would not be a concern, but who the hell knows how the AFC North is going to turn out. That division will not be decided until late Sunday on the final weekend.

Definitely want the Broncos over Cincy. Give the Bengals that 7th loss because their conference record is superior to ours. Also, Denver's remaining schedule other than that game is brutal with @LV, @LAC, vs. KC. And they have a poor AFC record at 3-5

Don't forget that they are also weak and possess the vision of Stevie Wonder. Other than that, they're great

I somewhat agree, particularly in the Jags game where he missed a wide open Sanders to extend the drive and at minimum force OT. But Dawkins gets blown up and Josh loses his footing at the Titans, Daboll's play calling/drops/penalties doomed us against the Pats, and the Bills would have won the game last night if the obvious PI against Diggs was called. I just don't know. Don't want to make excuses, but there seems to be an extraordinary confluence of bad luck that haunts this team in close games.

This is so wrong. Yes Allen is getting paid a lot of money, but he has basically been playing with a high school equivalent team around him. There is no one, with the possible exception of Lamar Jackson, who is tasked to do more for his team. Maybe he can be the first two way player since Chuck Bednarik and start playing defensive tackle too

To be sure, if they can get a must win against Carolina at home and then somehow find a way to beat the Pats, they will do exactly this. I like the Bills in a big time rout next week

Nice man. Been very negative as most have lately, but that was a ballsy effort to come back. Let's hope the Bills can take something from it. Allen was beast mode late

This x 1000 percent

Lol

Where's the idiot who was happy with kicking a fg?

Forget the ball, you could barely even see Jones in that wall of humanity. Not one of McD's finest moments

With regards to a few plays here or there and we would be 11-1, every single team can engage in this exercise. If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle

It's hard to fathom, but not just him. All 3 of our rb's are replacement level players at best. Even the slowest RB would have scored with a correct read to the outside there

Dude, if he even caught 1 one of the 2 perfect dimes in Pats territory, or not jumped offside on the last drive, that would've helped given the final score lol. Beyond McDermott and the entire Bills run D, he is the single biggest goat of this game and it's not really close

Who the f knows man. Makes little sense to me

Bridgewater is such a sorry excuse for a qb. Denver got what they deserved signing this loser instead of taking another swing at a qb in the draft

Agreed. We ran the ball effectively with both Singletary and Moss last year against the Pats in OP. And given our strengths in the passing game, I think it's safe to say Belichick will try to limit Josh and opportunities will be there again on the ground. If Brown is back, I feel pretty good about being able to move the ball on their defense.
