Same with the Patriots game. Easily could have lost that one too.

Kind of wishing for a Cowboy loss. Love the high intensity drama and angst that comes with it. No one will really care that much if the Bucs loose.

I just don’t see why you risk it. Sure it could have worked out but it was nearly the beginning of the end of the 2022/23 Buffalo Bills campaign. Nothing wrong with getting a little conservative and using up clock from time to time. It cost us the Vikings game. Great plays become the enemy of smart plays. I would like to see more methodical offensive drives especially in the playoffs. Keep that banged up defense off the field.

Josh never should have thrown it. Brown was covered. There were two check down guys, one was Singletary, forget the other, who were wide open for 5 to 10 yard gain. Was 1st and 10 mid-field. 6 minutes left in the half. 17 - 3. I love JA but get frustrated with his thinking that the Bills need a big play when they don’t. Could have just pass ed it underneath and keep moving or even give it to Cook again. So weird.

Don’t understand the CC discontent. CC/MT/NBC is the best NFL broadcast. And it’s not close.

I’m happy to see he is playing well enough to get off the TBD s%#t list. Hopefully Basham achieves that next season.

I read an article about a Cowboy player doing the same thing. Was only there a year or less and he wanted to keep his helmet. Cowboys wanted $250. He struggled with it but decided to buy it figuring he would regret it later in life.

If Eagles win the Superbowl do Bills open the season again? And after the Titans debacle.

Would have preferred Saturday night to give Tua less time but this is my second choice.

Do other games this weekend matter like a Steelers win?

Holliday season may have been a factor as well. Desired surgeon might not have been available by the time the swelling went down.

Of course he is questionable. When is KC getting screwed for anything? The players have to commit a felony in order to have any bad luck.

So resting everyone is an option if Chiefs win…correct?

If Bills lose and Bengals win the Bills are the 3 seed.

If I recall correctly, Cinncy opted to rest starters last year against Cleveland and resigned themselves to the 4 seed. That worked out well for them. Not saying the Bills should do the same but interesting case study. I would prefer to win to defer KC as long as possible.

I think it is impossible for it to be meaningless.

Who wants to shutdown UB football? First I have heard of this.

Having the 2 seed last year instead of the 3 seed would have been a huge deal. KC at OP in January. It matters. I hate this scenario but likely. If it benefitted the Bengals I would feel better about it. But the Chiefs….who were both beaten by the Bills and Bengals, doesn’t feel right. If having a better record in conference is such a big deal with tie breakers, why couldn’t that be the correct winning percentage formula?

No. That goes away with these playoff byes.

I bet he turns to coaching soon and will make hundreds of thousands $ each year, maybe millions, for next 30 to 35 years either at college or NFL level.

Vikings defense is not good. Hopefully he can be reasonably successful.

Bills/Bengals is a no contest. Use AFC winning %. Let 8 teams in. Do the same in NFC for all I care. 1 seed is not gifted with bye at least. Would hurt the Bills but seems fair. Assuming they beat the Pats.

I agree with you. I was getting a bad vibe before the game and during. It felt like the Colts game last year. Things were just not going to go their way last night.

I seriously doubt they push back Pats/Bills and Ravens/Bengals. All 4 will not want less time to prepare for the playoffs.

Browns too I think. Just spitballing here. Don’t envy the NFL in attempt to figure this out.
