5 or 6 tournament seed works for me. I would rather be away at a warm weather/dome site to let the offense cook. going to Denver or Pats round 1 would probably not be good. Although, if the roster is healthy again and they don't turn it over, not sure who beats us. JA17 is our super power; if the roster around him is healthy come tournament time, watch out.

I would like the world to see us defeat the cheats in their own stadium; that game last night is a perfect setup;; cheats feed on their last place schedule, then play a real team and lose. love that narrative

yeah I agree, but they do not have much choice ... so I am trying to thread the needle here. so if I can get some input on the more fun places to park that would help get this pulled together

Picking up kids at airport 9:30 am.. head straight to stadium. Should we park along Big Tree Rd up towards the Big Tree Inn or along Abbott north of Southwestern Blvd? Was thinking Big Tree to allow for a visit to Hammer Lot (which I assume is full by then(?). Any thoughts, particularly of where the lots start to be full along Big Tree and Abbott around 10:30? Much appreciated. Haven't parked in non-stadium lots in many years. Want to show the kids a taste of the pre-game madness I grew up with

which is exactly what will happen if a new HC comes in. it all gets blown up and we wait another 5 years while an entire new front office / coaching staff re-does everything I would prefer the Elway approach: dominant run game takes the heat off Josh, just like last night.

sure, sounds good to me. the league has done a good job of loading the backend of the schedule with intra division / conference games. makes it all so interesting, esp this year where there is no runaway #1 seed at all Get healthy, Bills. LIght up the Bengals D and go from there.

I'd like to know how many from outside the 5 yard line. That's the number that matters. Anyone can get tush pushed in.

I'll take 3-2 record and get completely healthy. Both Bengals and Pats will have substantial rest advantages coming into those games. Pats have their bye this coming Sunday (what else can go right for them?) so they will be loaded when Bills travel there. So that's probably an L simply because they will be rested and we will be coming off a subfreezing snow game and will probably get banged up followed by travel. Eagles will be a challenge but they look beatable. Jets and Browns are running for the bus so those look like W's. So 11-6 would be the goal IMO. Get the regular season over with, get healthy and then see how we do in the tournament.

not me. you guys are the loose cannons. All of Beanes FA / draft choices signings showed out today. Bosa, Shaq, Vandy, Ray, Cook, (who most on this board wanted gone), Benford, Cooks (on no practice) you name it. Now, I think extra rest really matters at this time of year. Now we get Cinci and the Pats, both with significant rest advantages over the Bills who were just in a slugfest.

Gameballs to all TBD posters who stayed positive after the Texans loss. About 3 people. Again I say, go Bills

Turnovers and Penalties. Pretty much the story so far. Maybe we see some exciting pass plays... if only the line would stay onside.

Well, Brown and Tasker work for the team so they will be supporters for sure; frankly it's kind of a refreshing take after spending time in the TBD dungeon for sure. Many of Marino's takes have been wrong in the past year or so. eg. He hated the Deone Walker draft choice for example and has been dead wrong. His game calls have been more wrong than right. He confuses his analysis with his fandom. He's Schopp one day and Tasker the next.

And if they win today you all will start the "what a resilient group!" SB chant. and use better sentence construction (and grammar) . What a group. I thought this was a fan board. go bills, for crying out loud

I see some 2 and 3 tight end sets and run the ball coming

I was a joe marino fan, but now that he's a big podcast star he has kind of gone into a bit of TBD mode and is turning against the organization that put him on the map.

Pegs hasn't figured out how to fix the Sabres. When Norris is back and they settle on a #1 goalie, they could be good. The "no-trade" team list clauses in NHL contracts are killing the Sabres bc the rock star guys don't want any part of this franchise and can prevent it from happening. Not sure how a team gets around that. The GM and Coach matter, but in the NHL talent on the ice eclipses every other factor.

Agreed. When it comes down to it, I do not believe 17 will allow the Bills to lose this game. Not sure how it happens, but that's part of what makes 17 fun to watch.

Pretty sure Cooks gets more snaps than either Keon or Shavers. Cooks can play, is a real NFL WR and is in game shape. Knowing McD, it'll be Shakir, Davis and Cooks Let's go.

If they can somehow get past the Steelers things will be better. I just don't know how that happens exactly. Run the ball 40 times?

Cooks can take his #18 now. About the only number under 20 left.

add some little wings to their shoes as well

Correct. Give me Hardman, Gabe, Palmer, Shakir, Kincaid, Shavers and Cooks healthy and full go for the first game of the season-end tournament and I am happy. That will work. Just need to go 4-2 over the last six , get healthy, and we are good to go. IMHO. Go Bills.

swapping Cooks for Moore is fine. Cooks is no slower and has better track record. Moore has pretty much washed out plus I never realized he was that small. Who knows, maybe Cooks can do something Beane is trying. IMHO, if Waddle wasn't in-division, he'd be on the roster right now. A 1st round pick for Shaheed would have been just stupid.

Samuel is a good player when he is 100%. Problem is, I cannot remember when he was 100%.

just get healthy and somehow get into the tournament. the regular season crown will go to someone else, but the tournament looks like it will be wide open as I always say, in a single-elimination tournament , anything can happen
