Cynthia Frelund, the analytics expert at NFL Network. Looks like a file cabinet fell on her face (don't tell her I said that). You can't miss her. Not as sanguine as we are on the Buffalo Bills.

Your hopes don't seem very high, Highhopes123. The reality may be that Brady's mind and body have finally quit on him. We'll know a lot more on this after the Chiefs game. But if Brady is no longer Brady, then the past doesn't apply anymore and anything becomes possible. Even a touch of Fitzmagic and a sprinkle of Dalton heroics could do the trick.

On offense, the Bills would be wise to feature more imaginative plays whenever Gore is on the field. Whenever he lines ups, everyone in the stadium knows what the play is: straight up the middle for 1 or 2 yards. On defense, the Bills have found new life with the blitz packages. Jackson may be a phenomenal QB, but he's still a very young one. Confuse him and show him looks that he's never seen on the field or even on game film before. Move Lorenzo around like a chess piece. Send blitzes from LB's and DB's in ways that would make Frazier's '85 Bears pals proud

Ok, so to recap following the Pats-Texans game, the Bills now have two delicious playoff options: Option 1: win the division and be 1st overall in the conference. The most probable path is to win out and have the Pats also lose to the Chiefs next Sunday. Option 2: settle for either wildcard seed. To keep things simple, I'm assuming the Pats, Ravens, Chiefs, and Texans win their divisions and am only considering head-to-head tiebreaker scenarios and not considering possibilities of tie games. That leaves the Bills needing to beat out at least 4 of these 5 teams: 1. Steelers (magic number of 3) 2. Titans (magic number of 2) 3. Raiders (magic number of 2) 4. Colts (magic number of 1) 5. Browns (magic number of 1) So if the Bills win any 2 games (Pitt and Jets are most likely), they're in without needing any help. Win any 1 remaining game (Jets most likely), and the easiest route is to have the winner of next Sunday's Titans vs Raiders game lose 1 additional game. Finish the season 0-4, and you can see the Bills will need some help but nothing too unrealistic. The Colts, Browns, and Raiders will likely disqualify themselves, while the Steelers will likely jump over the Bills in this scenario. So that means the Titans would need to have a mediocre finish (2-2 or worse...very possible because they play the Texans twice, the Saints, and the Raiders). Does this make sense? Any faulty logic you see?

Take them down before the game. Given the way Hauschka is trending, we don't even want McDermott to flirt with the idea.

Did Tom Brady just forget to drink his PED-laced avocado smoothie this morning? Or is this really the beginning of the end for him? We'll know a lot more by next Sunday when he plays the Chiefs. But in my expert football opinion, the Bills need to start taking the AFC East division title seriously.

Yep. We would also need NE to lose next Sunday to the Chiefs.

Oooooooooh..... super awkward. Well to change the subject, I'm thinking maybe it would be better to root for the Texans tonight over the Pats. As much fun as it would be to clinch a wildcard next Sunday, it has been 23 straight seasons without a division title and a home playoff game. Brady isn't the same, they still have to play the Chiefs next week, the Bills are hitting their stride on offense and defense, you only live once, etc...

I was updating after the Raiders-Chiefs game and also clarifying for any TBD members who ride the short bus to school. Are you looking for an internet smack in the mouth or something?! -* *- (Apologies, Mr. Cage. It's the Manischewitz wine. I'm a little tipsy tonight, and I get emotional over football when I drink).

Mike Mularkey is still available! Second time's the charm! Jags have a fetish for coaches with poor character who quit on the Buffalo Bills.

Did you just attempt to mansplain my post?! It was already perfectly clear. With the Raiders losing, Bills are now just THREE game outcomes away from clinching the playoffs as early as NEXT SUNDAY: 1. Root for Pats to beat Texans tonight (unless you still want to cheer for a shot at the division title... Lil' Kay doesn't agree, but she won't fault ya for it ) 2. Beat Ravens next Sunday at 1pm (easy peasy!) 3. Root for Titans to beat Raiders next Sunday at 4pm (very likely, given how the Raiders and Titans are trending). If this happens, the Bills will have an entire month to plan for the wildcard game. They could also try beating the Steelers, Pats, and Jets too. Whatever floats their boat.

Yes they do! Bills are now 4 games away from clinching the playoffs next Sunday: 1. Chiefs beat Raiders today 2. Pats beat Texans tonight 3. Titans beat Raiders next Sunday 4. Bills beat Ravens next Sunday

The story of my life.... <blush> <giggles>

We need to find that skank that gave Darnold mono, and then introduce her to Lamar. EDIT: aww shucks....the incubation period for mono is 4-7 weeks.

Buffalo was screwed out of winning the first two NFL championships in 1920 and 1921, so it would be poetic justice for the Bills to win the Super Bowl on the league's 100-year anniversary. ***** you, George Halas! You die of gonorrhea and you rot in hell!

Why on Earth would the Bills cut Star this off-season for a tiny cap savings of $2 million and an $8 million dead cap hit??? I agree that Hughes likely won't be cut at any point during his contract, but I'm just throwing it out there that he could be cut conveniently after 2020 in case his performance drops off a cliff. Contract extensions are also a good idea because they can be front-loaded in order to create more cap room in the future when all the big contracts come up (Allen, White, EDmunds, Oliver, etc...) Hyde and Poyer should be considered extremely high priorities. They are an elite safety tandem, but they are also both major pieces to the locker room culture that McDermott has built.

He's on it now! We all good here at GMFB! If BillsMafia is compiling their social media hit list, here are a few recommendations from yours truly: 1. Max Kellerman - generally doesn't bother following the Bills, so knows very little about the team. Not a big Josh Allen fan. 2. Skip Bayless - Cole Beasley hater...calls him "Measly Beasley." Dresses like a mafia don for some reason. 3. Colin Cowherd - big Josh Allen skeptic. Thinks the NFL would be better off with Buffalo relocated to a bigger market. Whiny douche. 4. Shannon Sharpe - has an IQ slightly higher than my border collie. Also slightly more articulate than my border collie. Has never had any respect for Buffalo as an NFL city, no matter what the team does. 5. Nick Wright - has a face too ugly even for radio. Former power bottom for Cris Carter. Has been an unrelenting Josh Allen hater since day one. Go get 'em, BillsMafia!

You need to look at salary cap numbers first before suggesting which players get cut. Murphy can be cut this offseason, but Hughes and Star will be here at least one more season because their dead cap numbers are too high until 2021.

AMAZING segment switcheroo from the Cowboys to the Buffalo Spirit Animals! Well done, Nate!

I sit down when I pee, but that's the only clue I'll give you, Columbo. So do we have confirmation on United 2532 at 12am????

And how do I know you're not the real RoboTronic??!! That's the wonder of the internet. No no, that's the MAGIC of the internet. Take a chance in life, RoboTronic. Meet me and the GMFB crew at the airport in about 3.25 hours. United 2532. Go streaking down the runway. Show the 9-3 Buffalo Bills your appreciation for their hard work all season. When Coach McDermott sees your tiny little thing flopping around as the plane rolls to a stop, he will know that the Buffalo Bills fan base is ready to match the intensity that the team needs in order to put together a Super Bowl run. It's cold and snowy in Buffalo as December fast approaches, and some of the biggest statements can be made with some of the smallest packages.

Don't tell me what I can and cannot do. NOBODY puts Baby in a corner. I'm going streaking with Jesse Feffeffeffefferrrrrr tonight down the runway, and I'm bringing the whole GMFB camera crew. This is maybe the biggest Bills win of the 21st century. None of the Drought Era teams would have ever won this game. Josh Allen is ascending. The Bills are for real. Buffalo is back on the map as the great NFL city it really always was. Peter, Kyle, Nate, and myself are now fully on board the Bills bandwagon. We've got room for another, RoboTronic. What do you say? I'm reaching my hand out to you, RoboTronic. Will you grab it and hop on the Bills bandwagon? Pretty please?

The ever elusive second straight Super Bowl victory. Until then, we can't really know for sure if Beane, McDermott, and Allen are a collective flash-in-the-pan.

Yes, completely legit. I'll even meet you at the airport. It's a bit cold, but ***** it.....let's go streaking together down the runway as they land! You and me! You go first. I'll follow.

Do it. Totally do it. We will cover you on GMFB tomorrow morning.
