  1. Dallas lost to the Jets. They suck. Easy win for Buffalo. Baltimore lost to the Browns. They suck. Another easy win for Buffalo.
  2. We will beat New England in Week 16, since they will have everything wrapped up and will rest their starters.
  3. Stephen A. Smith wants Chicago to trade for Cam Newton: http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=28021805
  4. Not a fair question since the majority of posters on this board do not live in WNY.
  5. Elmira, Binghamtion, and Albany fans: I hope you have DirecTV, since you are getting the Giants at Detroit game on FOX.
  6. The Jet beat the Cowboys, for crying out lout. They suck. The Browns are 2-4. They suck. Faker Playfield sucks,
  7. The NFL tried that in 1993, and it was disaster. It will never happen again. https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/92npy2/in_1993_the_nfl_added_a_2nd_bye_week_for_each/ "Q: What happened when they expanded to two bye weeks in 1993? A: One word: disaster. CBS and NBC freaked out because their ratings plummeted thanks to a continually depleted Sunday slate; teams complained that they couldn't maintain momentum when they weren't playing enough games in a row; everyone hated losing the week off between the conference title games and the Super Bowl; and most importantly, fantasy owners couldn't figure out who to bench/waive/pick up since we didn't have the Internet yet. The real problem: With only 28 teams and a top-heavy league, that left eight or nine Sunday afternoon games per bye week … and only two or three of those games were good. We didn't have DirecTV's season package back then, or the Red Zone Channel, so if you were stuck with a crappy local game (or even worse, a crappy local team that wiped out the quality national game you could have been watching), your whole day was ruined. Trust me, my Patriots overachieved that season by going 5-11. (Double bye weeks) + (no DirecTV) X (crummy local team) = bitter. And that's why double bye weeks went the way of New Coke, "Cop Rock," Planet Hollywood, Rick Mirer and "The Pat Sajak Show." "
  8. A second bye week will never happen. This is a non-starter. The league already tried this a few years ago, and it failed miserably. A second bye week is out of the question. See my post above. The league would rotate it each year, so a team has nine home games one year, and only eight the next. There are lots of other ways.
  9. The Bills are 11th on SI: https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/10/15/nfl-power-rankings-week-7-patriots-49ers-saints 1. New England 2. San Francisco 3. New Orleans 4. Green Bay 5. Seattle 6. Kansas City 7. Houston 8. Minnesota 9. Baltimore 10. Indianapolis 11. Buffalo "Previous rank: 11 Points in poll: 153 Highest-place vote: 8 (1 voter) Lowest-place vote: 13 (4 voters) Last week’s result: Bye This week: vs. Miami The Bills continue their push for the Wild Card with a presumed layup against the doormat Dolphins in Buffalo this weekend."
  10. The Bills are 6th in CBS Sports rankings: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-7-power-rankings-49ers-are-for-real-at-no-2-chiefs-take-huge-fall-vikings-rise-into-top-10/ 1. New England 2. San Francisco 3. New Orleans 4. Seattle 5. Green Bay 6. Buffalo "They come off their bye with a relatively easy game against the Dolphins. It's time the offense got cranked up to complement the defense."
  11. Wait...don't the Chargers have Tyrod Taylor as their backup?! ? He will lead them for the next decade. LOL!
  12. Pittsburgh already has their QB of the future, who was drafted in the same draft as Rosen: Mason Rudolph. Not necessarily. They may be blowing out the Bills and pull Rosen in the 4th quarter to get to rest.
  13. They only have 2 QB's on their active roster. Jake Ruddock s on the PS.
  14. You contradicted yourself with these two sentences. Also, how is KC assumed to win the West, with their play as of late? Why is NE assumed to win the East?
  15. Good thought. I would rather beat Carolina in the SB to get revenge for Cam running his mouth this preseason against Captain Munnerlyn and Ed Oliver:
  16. Also: Cincinnati beating the Bills in 1981 in the divisional round. The Bills would have gone on to the SB most likely, since San Diego was emotionally exhausted from their marathon game at Miami. Cleveland/Baltimore beating the Bills in the 1989 playoffs and for Art Modell's comments after Tennessee in 1999 for their owner giving the finger to Buffalo. Miami in 1998-99 for their coach stomping on Flutie Flakes
  17. KC could be number 1, so the Bills would play them in the divisional round and then New England in the AFC Championship Game..
  18. "That's why they play the games". "They were who we thought they were, but we let them off the hook".
  19. Yes, since if he had made two field goals, the final score would have been Buffalo 14, Tennessee 13.
  20. Why? Baltimore is going to win the AFC North, and be the number 3 or 4 seed. Buffalo should win 12-14 games this year, and be second to New England, who will be 15-1 or 16-0.
  21. Wouldn't it be upsetting if the Bills won 14-15 games, and had to be a wild card and travel on the road for every playoff game? Imagine the 14-2 Bills having to travel to 10-6 Baltimore or whomever in the Wild Card round, especially if the Bills beat Baltimore in the regular season. This scenario spurred a change in the NBA about 10-15 years ago. I think it was Dallas who had the 2nd best record in the conference, but had to play a tougher seed, or something like that since they did not win their division. Then they were on the road in the second round, having to play the first seed. Also BS if the 14-2 Bills have to play 16-0 New England in the divisional round, instead of the AFC Championship game. In MLB, division rivals cannot meet after the Wild Card game until the League Championship Series.
