Huge first down pickup by 76

They're not ahead, they are just making stuff up

Playing some teams twice a year is different. Look at NE and NYJ this year. They played us tougher than they played pretty much any other team. Us playing KC as much as we have has been scheduling quirk and competitivness in playoffs. You want larger divisions, fine. Playing teams twice a year home/away is overall good for the league. I know it's not perfect at times in weak divisions, but divisional games are different pretty much across the board.

Sorry, working with a 101 fever at the moment. I guess the sarcasm is too thick. Seriously though, he'll limp around, make a few big plays that move the chains, but otherwise have a quiet day of trying to make it to the playoffs able to walk. His injury is pain management, and the games I saw him he seemed determined that it didn't hurt from snap to whistle.

Division rivalries are part of the emotion of the game and help with parity. The game would be less without them imo.

He got rest last week, he'll come out on fire

Do you see the Steelers scoring with your magic eight ball? The Steelers look real bad as well. Anyone can win this game

I don't know how you can watch this and be confident that the Steelers will win anything, including this game. Of course it's a likely outcome, but this team is not talented.

Thanks for playing along

This thread is almost as bad as if the bills were playing. Calm down people, the game has a lot left.

95% is based off non contextual win probabilities. Ignoring the playoff situation, Ravens would be very strong favorites. If you assume that Vegas does a decent job of setting odds, we are implied around 80-85% to get in depending on the book.

Sadly you're starting to date yourself and many won't get it.

I still think the ravens have a good chance of one and done against the browns with the winner of the east hosting the conference game. Their offense is certainly more well rounded that in some prior Lamar years, but explosive isn't a word I'd use

Taron Johnson. Zappe has shown to be erratic and off target when throwing short, hot, and under pressure. TJ is going to get a pick, as well as being part of a pressure package on a sack that leads to a big loss or turnover. I expect the whole defense to show well here. I'd love to predict a big offensive game, but just don't see it will be needed.

Whichever QB among Josh, Lamar, and Tua ends up with 2 more wins, 575+ total yards, 5+ yds, and 1- int will get it. If none of them do that, there's a good chance it ends up Hill or CmC. It feels like it would take a lot for Dak or Purdy to come back from recent narratives. But I guess if either of them have the best 2 game stretch ever, it's possible...

You're not reading it right. In the PIT losing scenarios, they have to lose once between week 17 and 18. This is listing all of the ways we can clinch a playoff seed next week. Even if the scenario you suggested plays out, I don't know what about the Steelers makes you so sure they would win against Bal. I know you have posted multiple times indicating that you don't understand playoff seeding, but trust basically everyone else in the world that understands there are far more ways for the bills to get in at 10-7 at this point than to be out. Regardless, win out and we're in is the most sensible path.

For us, the best chance of playoffs is chiefs winning. They don't matter for seeding for us.

Josh is clearly pretty widely liked around the league. That was a lot of positive messaging coming from the other team fresh off a loss.

Maybe their production team was off for a day or two?

@TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Turns out it happens every few years. To bring it home for us, EJ Manual did it in 2015 against the Jags. Fumble TD, Pick 6 in 7 seconds of game time.

My guess is your guess is wrong.

What about the raiders' defense?

I've had a few beers today, but I'm seeing the 2 seed with us hosting Miami, home for divisional, and hosting KC for conference (I see Baltimore losing to the browns). Either way, BUF/KC conference game is becoming more likely. Th alternative is looking like @Miami, @BAL, @KC.

The reference was the throw left to Davis, which also went past the line of scrimmage. Not the other bad intentional grounding, with a receiver in the area short of the line.

Bass has been sketchy this year, but that's not a good measure. It's been clear for years that we want the ball to land around the 5 and force them to make a decision.
