Not good

Receivers can't get open

Nobody is getting open

Why was Cook on the sidelines for three straight plays?

This is where I am at. I think it's more personnel than scheme/playcalling. Can't make chicken salad out of chicken you know what. Ravens did it in 2012 and won a SB.

Carolina has seen a pretty decent turnaround. The defense is very good too. Not the Panthers of old.

They are in too big of a hole. They have too many issues to expect them to only lose three games imo. And Pittsburgh will slip. Just not enough to cough up the division. Pittsburgh will win the division by default. Not because they are great.

Schedule remaining: Bears, Dolphins, Vikings, Jets, Patriots, Steelersx2, Browns, Packers, Bengalsx2. They would need to win 9/11 of those games (10-7) to get a shot at a WC spot. It's not happening. They are done. The hole is too deep. How I think it will shake out: 1: KC 2: Indy 3. Pittsburgh 4: Buffalo 5. Chargers 6. Patriots 7. Broncos WC round: Indy over Broncos; Patriots over Steelers; Bills over Chargers Division Round: KC over NE and Indy over Bills AFC title game: Chiefs over Indy I believe the Chiefs are assured another SB unless it's against the Rams or Eagles. Philly is a bad matchup for them. And the Rams have a HOF HC/borderline HOF QB. It would be 50/50 in that case.

Say what???

HC's I think would/could bring a title to Buffalo: Belichick Gruden Mike McCarthy They need a veteran HC with prior success. Belichick stands out. But my concern is he would want a say on drafting and is 74 as if next season.

That was a soul crushing loss. Nothing has topped that in my life. I wasn't around for the four SB losses. Losing a close SB would suck. But it wouldn't top 13 seconds. If the Bills play mistake free against the Panthers, they will win. If not, they can definitely lose. The Panthers are good enough to take advantage of mistakes.

If they add on Spags, maybe we will give them a third.

Allen with an Eagles like roster would set postseason records. No defense is stopping Allen, Barkley, Smith, and Brown. They would murder every opponent they face. It would be crazy. Nothing is guaranteed. We don't know what would happen with a new HC. But we do know what is happening with the current HC. Nothing. It's been 8 years with Allen. Four losses to the same team. I've said this before. McDermott would have been fired by 2022 at the latest if he were in a similar situation with KC, Eagles, or even the Patriots. Those organizations, like them or not, are obsessed with SB wins. Heck, if the Eagles missed the postseason next year, I could see them firing Sirianni. McDermott would be here for life with a SB win. Is this ownership group like that?

What do you mean. Are you saying the Bills aren't as successful historically as them? Yeah his reputation is that he's a pos. At least according to opponents. But every interview and so forth shos he's a good guy.

Isn't Watson always injured? That would be a big risk.

Oof. Allen to Evans. It's nice to imagine. Bills would be unstoppable. Look at what he did with Winston. Bills go into KC with a DL consisting of Aaron Donald. That right there would be a complete game changer. I understand the draft can be a crapshoot. But boy I feel sad now. I agree it's sad what happened to Evans. I do feel for Mayfield because he is doing everything possible to win with all the injuries. If they can get fully healthy for the postseason, watch out. They are a team fully capable of winning a SB imo.

No arguing about it...they do. Lol I don't. They have won two SB's in twenty three years. Have had great QB play for six plus years now. Are a shoe in to win the division every year. They have seen more success than half the league has.

Yeh I think winning the division and having our annual playoff loss to KC would be worse compared to making the postseason as a WC and going one and done. Or not making it all. Winning the division might make ownership believe things are still great. Losing the division to the Patriots will raise alot of eyebrows. For many years the goal was getting by KC. Now, KC isn't the primary concern for the Bills. NE is.

Evans turned 25 when Allen was drafted. What a duo that could have been.

Adam Henry. Recently completed his doctorate degree in educational leadership from Fayetteville State University. Good news is he has options if he gets canned.

Is it the training staff or players being made of glass? I think it's the latter. It's infuriating.

Olave or Shaheed for WR. If New Orleans wants a 1st rounder, just give it to them. Hopefully they go for a 2nd though. No receiver upgrade coming out of the deadline s a fireable offense.

Winnable game. But by no means would this be considered an upset if the Panthers won. They have improved dramatically from last year. 50/50 on this. I'm more confident than I usually would be due to McDermott's record after the bye.

Correct. This is my issue with McDermott. He is a defensive HC with not so good defenses. What does he actually contribute to on field success? Now the offense is being affected by trying to compensate for the defensive shortcomings. The Bills have two units not performing. Worrisome statement for sure. I never heard this from a Belichick, Reid, or McVay coached team.

Truly elite QB's don't panic when trailing. They embrace the challenge and conquer accordingly. They can beat great defenses and put fear into every opponent. Not to mention the ability to read defenses, readjust after defenses adjust and so forth. Let's see what he does in these types of situations.
