It seems like location plus having a semi-closed stadium outweighed the time zone change for the Rams. I thought before the fires that LA would win, I still think that now but who knows how the players and staff are dealing with this. May the fires be eradicated as quickly as possible.

All I can say is that I hope they get scrutiny for this and that any Buffalo player is never associated with them or endorses them.

It is really hard to see all the destruction currently ongoing in LA and the surrounding areas. A dumb question from a non-American, is there any reason why Seattle or San Francisco could not/would not be the replacement venue? Arizona is also a NFC West foe but the other two venues wouldn't change the time zone for the Rams plus I assume it is also an easier time adjustment for Minnesota?

I am interested to know what others think of Kincaid and the potential of him having a decent game on Sunday. My desire is for him to be an impact player and have 75+ receiving yards. After his midseason injury is he still TE1? Or has Knox taken that role? I just want the guy to flourish and be the mismatch we desired him to be.

Whilst not directly in line with the OP's topic, I thought it was interesting that Minnesota has elevated Daniel Jones to the 53, potentially getting a pick should he leave. Vikings promote former Giants QB Daniel Jones to active roster ahead of wild-card playoff game vs. Rams

He mentions his kicking ability from high school during the video plus taking part in a punt, pass and kick compettion, he can be an emergency option if needed.

Everyone, in the main doesn't want Cincinatt scraping into the Playoffs and are confident in facing Miami or Denver at Orchard Park. For me, based on what I understand, given seeds 1 to 4 are locked in, what would be in Buffalo's interests going forward, would be having the 6th seed take out Baltimore (3rd) and have the 5th seed be defeated by Houston (4th) althought the second part of the scenario is not so important, it'd be nice to avenge the week 5 loss. I am not sure who is better placed to take down Batimore in Baltimore. You've either got the Chargers (Harbaugh Bowl rematch with a different California team, would be prime time for sure) or Tomlin and the currently struggling Steelers, albeit divisional matchups are unpredictable. Assuming both the Chargers and the Steelers win this weekend they'd both be 11-6. I'd lean towards preferring Jim to defeat John with the Chargers going to face KC and then we facing the 4 or the 5 (Texans or Steelers) at Orchard Park.

To me they seem to cut to the studio a lot more now compared to before, missing a lot of the non-game camera shots and activities. I cannot complain, it is not being shown live on Sky in the UK either. I always prefer live television to the quirks of streaming. If anyone has any links for next week please PM me, no chance of non Redzone coverage in Europe as Buffalo has already clinched the playoffs and NE is toast this season.

If you have access to a television it is free to air on RTL. Commentary will be done locally in German Two games are live - Buffalo is first and then the Miami game is second. In Germany there are two free to air Sunday games broadcast - the 1pm ET/4.05/4.25 ET choices - teams vary week to week. Luckily this week the Bills are going to be shown without needing the internet.

Couple of weeks back I tried to watch Thursday Night Football (Broncos at Chiefs) using Twitch. Didn't work for me when I tried - "not supported in your region" or words to that effect - using a PC and web browser. I was in London but might be in the Netherlands (depending on work) next week when the Bills are on TNF. Just a small warning for any international fans trying to use Twitch for the first time to see Buffalo next week. I could try a VPN but I have never tried before, maybe some regions outside of the USA are supported?!

I was unsure where to post this, my thoughts are that if the NFL wanted Jacksonville to play 2 games in London, one designated as home and then the other one as away then they needed to play the away game at Buffalo first then have the home Atlanta game as the 2nd game. Practically I believe it wouldn't be possible because Tottenham played Liverpool on 30 September and that the Jaguars home game is always at Wembley. This year Jacksonville has "gained" an additional home fixture. I hope this "experiment" ends this year or is significantly modified as one team gained a significant advantage. As a European I am kind of down that a decent amount of Bills fans have negative opinions of European fixtures after this negative 2023 experience. I didn't personally attend but it was a beautiful day and the stadium was at least 85% Bills fans, it should have been an unforgettable day that lingered in the memory.

PFN 3xOL - 1xDT - 1xS - 1xWR Need a reliable backup 1T - here Ika fell to 59. Need to restock the offensive line.

I think there should be a maximum 6 players that are ST only - LS, K, P, combo KR/PR, 2x Gunners. A player like Hines being a real backup RB plus both KR and PR is a bonus. Kumerow has played real WR snaps and can be WR #5. Can only hope that Gilliam plays more FB on offence next year.

I am liking Darnell Wright at RT. Dawkins-Bates-Morse-FA/DraftPick-Wright

Sedrick Van Pran is returning to Georgia for the 2023 season. I don't know why his name has not been removed from the database? https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/georgia-football/sedrick-van-pran-georgia-starting-lineman-confirms-plans-for-2023/

No DB drafted!

In the CIN @ KC game, my wish is for either a lop sided beat-down or a catastrophe of similar nature to 13 seconds, not bothered as to who wins. I want the loser to be questioning their HC, GM, offensive and defensive schemes, roster construction etc, in a similar manner to we are currently feeling but even worse considering they have made it further this season.

I would like Buffalo to seriously consider Darnell Washington. He is a Gronk sized TE at 6 foot 7, 265lbs. The write-ups state that he excels as a run blocker. My reason for wanting him is that so he can be a blocking TE and red zone threat whilst freeing up Knox to run routes. I would like him (Knox) to be the second read after Diggs, can Knox be a high usage TE like Kelce, Waller, Kittle, Hockenson etc? Buffalo has shown faith in Knox and extended him, we should be looking to utilize him more as a pass catcher. We can then also run 3 TE sets with Morris as the number 3.

From the posts in the thread, PFF seems to give Buffalo 8 picks in the 2023 draft and PFN only gives 6. Do we have to wait for the Super Bowl to conclude to be certain of how many picks we have or is one site or both incorrect?

My vote is for the wrong leg amputation! I am in the minority, the Bengals loss was worse to me. We sucked for 60 minutes on Sunday. The only players that caught my eye in a positive way were Shakir, Beasley and Milano. At home, in Buffalo weather, there was nothing but excuses and a damp squib. At least in Houston and at KC we were in the game and had chances. Last week we couldn't even decide that attempting the FG in the 4th quarter was the sensible thing to do being down 3 scores?

Not entirely sure. Carr has played in California or Nevada all his collegiate and professional career. I don't think he'd be suitable for a team with harsh weather - in my view, the best options are a West Coast, Southern or a dome team. Thinking out loud, LA Rams - offensive guru HC and Kupp, Stafford is mid 30's and out injured. Baker Mayfield isn't the answer. In terms of AFC East, Miami is his only real fit. McDaniel could be what he needs to resuscitate his career.

A lot of Buffalo fans are wondering, can we win a Super Bowl with McDermott ... In the next two years, do you think that NE can win the AFC East with Mac Jones as QB1?

Miami - Brady Jets - Lamar/Rodgers NE - Mac Jones Buffalo - Allen If the rumours actually materialize, how can New England stick with Mac Jones? They are top 10 in available cap space.

There is no doubt that the Bills deserved the loss on Sunday. The Bengals were also down their number 1 CB, down 3 OL and their DE's were playing banged up. Their OL stood up, why do we have excuses on the injury front and they don't? We were down more players for sure but our opponent still had substantial injury issues and played a great game. They had 1 week to patch up their OL on the fly, Hyde/Miller as a combination have been unavailable since November. Do you really believe that McDermott can lead us to a Super Bowl? If so, what is it based on? I wish it to happen - the only way I can foresee it is if Josh plays like the previous postseason with a minimal margin for error. Do you believe that the current defensive scheme as it is run now can defeat the Bengals or the Chiefs in the postseason? I will always support the team. The fact that we were never really in with a shot to win the game at any point on Sunday is what gets me down for now.

The most painful season in my ten years of being a Buffalo Bills fan. We giggle at the other AFC East teams, who do you have at QB? Mac Jones, Tua, the Zach/Mike/Joe combo - we have an undisputed top 5 guy, after so many years of waiting and we have a weak OL, an underutilized TE on a big $ contract, a true top 5 WR and virtually nothing else in addition to a seemingly impatient OC. Speaking only about the four Divisional round games, the teams that ran the ball for the most yards won. Jacksonville was doing well with Etienne and Hasty and they suddenly stopped running. We had the USA radio broadcast on the BBC here in England. Mike Mayock was tipping plays - Hurst was wide open 2 seconds before he caught the TD. The pass to Chase where he was 1 on 1 with Tre. The British studio analyst (Darren Fletcher) was saying the "Buffalo Bills have a team that is not in the image of the city of Buffalo". Ouch. We draft Elam, Cook and Shakir and we don't give them the opportunity? Are we so flooded with talent for them to sit on the bench? I always feel that McDermott is disingenuous when speaking, he is always hiding behind reviewing the tape or his spirituality. If you mess up, own it. Beane appears genuine and I still have more faith in him compared to McDermott. No change at either OC or DC would indicate that ownership is content with the season and how it ended.
