Will miss enough time to give CLE the win in one of the few they could lose, but back to still get to 11 wins.

Winning all 5 vs KC, DAL, LAC, NE, MIA in itself is daunting. Then needing some games to go our way makes it extra daunting. I am not saying it cant or wont happen but there is a reason the Bills playoff chances are at 20%. HOU and CLE basically control their own destiny with easy schedules. HOU can win out but has wiggle room to lose game to IND or CLE. CLE can lose to HOU and just needs to beat CIN in its final game. PIT and IND will get a win vs each other and if that winner gets the 3 easy wins they are in. So we need teams to lose games they should win. It happens all the time so I am hopeful. A win this week wont change much, but a loss and we are done.

So your saying MIA will still win the division. In 2021 we benefited from NE flopping and going 1-3 down the stretch to give us the division. That means the Bills are passing some combo of CLE, PIT, CIN, HOU, JAC, IND, DEN? Well in 2021, CLE finished 1-3, BAL finished 0-6, Indy went 0-2, and LAC went 1-3. We just need that to happen again I guess.

FYI - CBA says 4 consecutive days off in bye week. The Bills could have practiced any of the Mon-Wed days and had rest of the week off.

What if he throws an interception in OT? What is the difference? Why not at least try a running play? At least going for it with 20 seconds the Bills knew they had a chance. Not only did McD not take the chance he risked losing the coin toss and the Bills could have never even got the ball in OT. He felt safer with a 50-50 coin flip than running 3 plays on offense.

Hearing from a little bird that practice resumes Wednesday...that is a long break.

The team took this bye week thing serious. I have not seen or heard any updates since after the game last week. Any word on when they are practicing, providing media updates, injury reports, etc?

They may be done practicing for the year. It has been a while. Gave them the optional days off last week and have yet to practice this weeks from all accounts thus far.

And if it were not for the dumb pass by Browning they had a good shot. Allen at QB and they are getting to FG range.

Problem is with so many teams ahead of us there are a lot wins going around when those teams play each other. I dont see 10 wins being enough: Jax only needs 2 wins (ends with TB, Car, Ten) Cle only needs 3 wins (Jax next week and then needs 2 vs Chi/NYJ; Losses to CIN and HOU give them wins) Hou needs 3 wins (Cle is one and then needs 2 vs NYJ/Ten twice; Loss to Colts give them 1) Ind needs3 wins (Hou is 1 and then need 2 vs ATL/LVR; Losses to CIN and PIT would give them each 1) Cin needs 4 wins (Ind is 1, Cle is 2; Need 2 vs MIN/PIT/KC. Loss to PIT gives them 1) Pit needs 3 wins (CIN is 1, Ind is 2; Need 1 vs NE/SEA/BAL). Den needs 4 wins vs LAC twice/DET/NE/LVR Bottom line is that a lot has to go right to get in. Even 11 and we could be out. At 11-6 and all likely favorites win the Bills are out.

I got beat up so much over my take that Harty and Sherfield are not an upgrade from McK, Crowder and whoever. Many said we have the best WR room in the league. That Kincaid was going to be running seams all day long.

That took 6 secs…bills would still have 14.

That will be the slap in the face when cin score with 26 secs.

Same D. They can still win 11.

They are still on bye week. Sine if the guys wanted an extended trip.

Or we would have Laporta. They could have either traded Cook or used some the RB money spent to acquire the G. They would still have the pick used to trade up for Kincaid for Williams or similar. So McCafrey, Laporta and still the ability to get your Torrence and Williams level players.

You must have missed the memo. Only the Bills are impacted by injuries. All Bills players can switch positions and go from being a bench player to all pro. Bills are better than all teams that beat them and have better record than them. Bills get better by losing starters. Bills have bad luck. Other teams just suck. Every Bills will be amazing if they become a starter next year, is terrible if the Bills dont resign.

Rodgers - After his first year as a starter he was in the playoffs 8 straight years. He got hurt and then they missed the playoffs when he was 34 years old. From 26 to 33 he was in the playoffs every year. He was then back in two conference championships in his late 30's.

At least he didnt go to an afc team

As many others have said a year in the books is a negative. Its wasting JA in his prime years and the number of aging starters greatly outweighs our ability to replace them. I dont think there are any positives that outweigh that. And to address the specific positives mentioned most have a flip side. Kincaid - He looks like a legit starting TE. However, we have yet to see the true game changing potential. Right now he is short target getting a lot of check downs. That is not a game breaker. Add in Knox is under contract adds in to the mix here. And they actually used Knox as more of a game breaker which is odd. Bernard - I am not as high on Bernard. He can be a decent complementary LB. I dont see him being a long term guy that we sign to a second contract. Cook - Cook reminds me of the CJ Spiller experiment. We see flashes and hear the talk of his skillset. Yet he is used sparingly for large chunks of time and never used the way he is sold. He is likely gone after his rookie deal. Brown - 100% disagree. I think they look to upgrade and he is a non-starter next year. Cyrus - So far so good. Shakir - JAG. Will have a decent 3-5 catch game and then 0 catch for a few weeks. Not a building block. Davis - Needing to replace his is not a positive as it will require big resources either an early draft pick or FA money. Oliver - Has looked good except for the occasional bonehead penalty. He is a building block of the D.

Win keeps hope alive. Lose and its essentially season over because we would need a lot of help. Just the amount of games the teams ahead us have vs each other guarantees some of these teams rack up wins. Unless they lose to non-contenders or 1-2 of them win out, too many teams get to 10-11 wins and we lose most tiebreakers. Thats why our playoff odds are 15-25% based on the logic.

Charges are very rarely brought when a victim backs out. Sadly its the reality in these situations.

This is likely going away. She is already saying it was a misunderstanding and no one was assaulted.
