Oh wow. Oh dear. I just...I had no idea. All my life I have tried to do the right thing. I'm sorry, everyone. I'm truly sorry. I will turn myself in promptly tomorrow morning to the league office headquarters. Pray for me. Please pray for my soul.

I would also add that the Texans might be the more favorable playoff matchup for the Bills than the Titans.

You know what? I'm okay with this. I said what needed to be said.

Us media types are all given instructions to minimize the Patriots' cheating so to make the NFL look legitimate and not look like the bull####, big-market pandering WWE circus that it has become. But deep down, we all know their two-decade "dynasty" is fraudulent. We just can't say it on the air. Oh my stars....I'd lose my job at GMFB if I said this! On a related note, please no one tell Roger Goodell that I post here at Two Bills Drive.

It's okay. 2017 was the Red Rifle's time to be our savior. 2019 is to be the year of Fitzmagic. Week 17. The bearded gunslinger who went to Harvard and wears his wedding ring during games.

The Bills are paying Trent Murphy and Tyler Kroft what could have gone to Gilmore. But it's all a waste of time speculating since I don't think Gilmore wanted to be here anyway. Similar situation with two other potential Hall of Famers in Jason Peters and Marshawn Lynch. At least Beane and McDermott now appear to be drafting players who actually like Buffalo.

I read this in Marc Miller's voice.

Looks like it's harder to win when you don't know all of the other team's plays beforehand.

But y'all are overlooking the Steelers from 1933-1968!!! 16 different head coaches in their first 36 years in the league. Only 8 winning seasons. Only 1 playoff appearance. No playoff wins. No division titles. No championships. The franchise was so bad that they moved them to the AFC during the 1970 merger with the idea of giving them a fighting chance against "lesser competition." The lesson here? STOP saying "same old Bills." At one point in time, "same old Steelers" was probably a thing until it wasn't (1972).

https://weather.com/news/news/2019-09-12-nfl-worst-weather-cities In the spirit of Terry Licata Braunstein, I'd say you all should be TALKING PROUD, TALKING PROUD of the terrible weather in Buffalo. It's a true football city.

They should do a 30 for 30 ESPN sports documentary on his personal life and juxtapose it with the Buffalo Bills over the past 27 years.

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.
