Chaos

Bengals win and they likely end up second seed with the Bills as third. Playoffs go through Cincy then. Bills win and Cincy has to go through KC and Buffalo on the road. Not sure why you don’t understand how a win meaningfully improves the bengals position.

in this case, the Bengals have exactly as much control to improve their position as the Bills do to maintain theirs.

the difference in two or three interconference games is 95% less differential, than the chiefs getting to play four games against teams that are not even trying to compete.

With the extended schedule, the NFL should consider having each team play one game against every other team in their conference plus three against the other conference. With the elimination of pre-season, start the season with each teams 3 interconference games (least important for tiebreakers) and finish the season playing the three teams in thier division when the games are the most critical. This system makes its so that every team in a conference has a very similar strength of schedule. Its just too silly to have the dispartiy in SOS that exists now.

that was a reference to the game on Christmas in a thread which for some reason merged into this

Both teams are very talented with elite QBs. The team with the better game day coaching will win the game.

Offense was not good enough, or else we would have won the game. The question is, is it easier to add 7 points to the Bills offense, or subract 7 points from the cheifs with better defense. Spoiler alert, the answer it is it easier to add points on offense.

Kind of odd to be in “win now” mode and also be patient to train a rookie OC. Can’t really be both. Dorsey has to be ready now , or replaced with someone who is

Tua ball

People live in this fantasy world where the defenses are always giving something. The Bills are plagued with recievers that can't get separation. There are tons of plays where no one is open.

If you think Josh is holding back this team, you are simple minded.

We have a sample size of 1 game of Josh playing in Lake Mighigan high winds in sub-zero wind chills. He won. Not sure it is a representative statistical game. Part of me thinks he could have been almost as good as Dak Prescott (not that anyone can every truly reach the heights that are Dak Prescott) yesterday if he had played in relatively warm and windless Dallas.

Is this a hobby of yours, or an actual job?

not sure why you are posting a racist tweet.

Loser mentality for the Jags there

What manner of speaking?

You Tube TV has whole world DVR Fast switching it does not.

These two young men deserve this honor. They are incredible talents, and incredible people. Their parents also deserve awards for raising these men. I hope Mr. Pegula has put a team together around Josh that that can consistently compete with the Chiefs. Lot of horses before carts in that second sentence.

Dak practically defines QB purgatory. The only NFL team you could place him on right now and think there is a chance to win a championship is the 49ers. And that is because the 49ers seem to have a chance with any QB, including Brock Purdy. Said another way, there is no team in the NFL "a Dak Prescott" away from winning the championship.

How many years in the league without a playoff win. Dak's success level is well below average.

Was Mahomes brilliant in KC's three losses. Was Burrows brilliant in Cincy's four losses? Does Philly even need Hurts?

One of the real disconnects among people on this board is the context for commentary. There are a number of camps. 1) people who understand what correlates to winning championships. All of these people have known the importance of the #1 seed before the seasons begin. These people get upset at every single loss, because they understand the dramatic reduction in the liklihood of the championship. People who don't understand this correlation tend to accuse this group of overreactiing. But in the context of winning championships they are simply reacting, not over reacting. Except for a couple of bad coaching decisions at the end of games, the Bills would be in the same catbird seat the Eagles are in in the NFC. 2)people who are happy with the Bils being above average in some statisical aspect, and feel as though being above average gives you a good chance to win a championship. These are the types of posters who in their superior fanhood inform you that the Bills defense is 8th in yards per carry allowed to suggest the Bills run defense is championship caliber, and that no one should be upset about any above single game poor performance. 3)Peope who are happy to have a better team than the ones assembled by Doug Whaley or coached by Dick Jauron, and freak out at any criticism leveled by the people in group 1 above. This posters typical respond with some version of "if you don't concede Leslie Frazier is best DC the Bills could possibly have, that means you want to go back to the "Rex Ryan" era. These people don't seem to realize the 2022 Bills do not have the 2012 Bills on their schedule. The people in group one have the highest expectations, and (usually correctly) point out how little it takes to NOT win a championship. Almost everything has to go right. It seems clear the people criticizing the group one posters really don't understand the context of why they are upset about seemingly minor problems.

no

My wife calls him python. I am not sure why.

Hurts has the # 1 graded offense (PFF) supporting him. Mahomes has the #2 graded offense supporting him.. Burrows has the #4 rated offense supporting him. Josh is stuck with the #14 graded offense supporting him. Hurts, Mahomes, and Burrows would struggle to make the playoffs if they were on the Bills instead of Allen. Regardless of what some nutbag voters decide, Allen is the best player in the NFl, the best QB in the NFl, the most important player to his team in the NFL, and asked to do do more than any other player in the NFL. Allen is the MVP, and its not close.
