    Allen is just so competitive, he simply cannot take a sack or thrown an incompletion on third down. He takes crazy risks in those situations, always has. I think we just need to accept that as part of the package. Works for me. 

    He took a sack two plays before lol. Robber made a nice read and broke on the play and chased it down.  To josh it was not a crazy risk because he didn’t see the robber at all

    Are we supposed to be happy when Josh throws a bonehead, across the body INT? 

    I mean I think it’s the nonchalance towards the 4th down play the series before that led to a td for me.  Maybe two qbs in the league make that throw…his good play still far outranks his bad in this game so far 

     

    the more pessimistic fans take all the positive wow plays for granted

    You can’t do it. Too many people involved. But you can have 1-2 bad apples and they can do enough damage.

     

    But no, I don’t believe the NFL is fixed. Officiating isnt getting worse, it’s always been bad. We just have more rules and more cameras now. Rules complicate an already difficult job. Cameras show every mistake they make in 4k ultra slow motion.

    Not that I think it’s fixed at all but how many people would it really take?  League office/goodell himself and refs really.  Its not like you need players or coaches involved or anything

    As someone said, "when you get a dose of that Vitamin W, it changes everything"

     

    I think Daboll may be undergoing what some call an "On the Job Training Experience". 

     

    When you're winning and everyone's inspired, it's easy to believe in giving your coordinators autonomy. 

     

    When you're losing, and your defense is 26th in the league for points given up, you may feel you need to "mix it in" and give your input to the DC. 

     

    That may cause friction when the side of the ball you are closest to, the offense, is 32nd in the league.

    It surprises me that there's apparently a strong fraction here that want to bring in Daboll as HC.  He was COTY last season, great!  But a number of new coaches have come in and given the team a "spark".  The question is whether that "spark" lasts and turns into sustained success.

    It’s all been on the offense this year for them imo…their defense has looked really good at times but their offense was consistently hanging the defense out to dry. 
     

    I’ve never been enthusiastic about Daboll…I think he’s another guy that rode Josh’s coattails and got way too much of the credit.  
    plenty of stinker game plans in the Daboll days too where Josh completely bailed him out.

    My gut instinct, in order of most likely losses left on the schedule:

     

    @ LA Chargers

    vs. Dallas

    @ KC

    @ Miami

    vs. New England

     

    Chargers just feels like a game we will lose. They play nearly every game close. It will be a battle of who doesn't blow it at the end. 

    Assuming Miami is playing starters I have the chargers games as 4th most likely loss but it’s all speculation and opinion based of course 😁

     

    I’m not saying we’ll definitely win or that it’s an easy game but part of my point is if we can’t win that game I doubt we’re beating all three of Dallas kc and Miami anyway so the 4-1 finish hypothetical is a moot point anyway

    I think 10-7 makes it.  This season is crazy.  Who had Pitt losing to New England yesterday?

     

     

     

    I thought it would be close and a lot of these games people are callin sure wins for these afc wildcard competitors with backup qbs are far from it.

    Agreed. I point was more about not able to catch Mia for the division. That ship has sailed imo. 

    Its a long shot but it’s still possible…our tough schedule portions didn’t line up…their remaining 3 tough games in a row close out the year

    Dont see it. That would mean:

     

    HOU has TEN twice and and NYJ, CLE, IND. I think they get to 10 easy. Losses to IND and CLE help them get to 10.

    IND has CIN, PIT, ATL. LVR, HOU. They need three and losses to HOU, CIN, PIT help those teams get to 10. 

    CLE has JAC (No T Lawrence), CHI, HOU, NYJ, CIN. Again they lose to CIN, HOU, JAC help those teams get to 10. 

    PIT has IND, CIN, SEA, BAL. They lose to IND, CIN they are helping those teams and win they are closer themselves. 

    CIN has IND, MIN, PIT, KC, CLE - same as PIT. They beat IND, PIT and CLE and they may get to 10 wins, lose and each of those teams adds another win.

    JAC most losable games is CLE without T Lawrence. They will get 2 wins vs TB, CAR, TEN, BAL.

    DEN and LAC are least likely to get to 10. But they play each other twice so one of them is at 7. If DEN sweeps they need 2 more vs LVR, DET, NE...its possible. If LAC sweeps they need 3 vs LVR, BUF, KC...unlikely. 

     

    Just too many teams at 7 wins already. For 3 to not get to 10 it would take a lot of splitting games and losing to some bad teams while beating good ones. Most likely JAC and HOU get to 10. If CLE wins this week they likely get to 10. Then between IND, PIT, CIN, DEN I think more than one of them gets there too. So BUF needs to get to 11. 

     

    I think your description is missing a couple important factors that completely alter the outlook…the first being that you’re treating jax and Indy and Houston all as wildcard competition when one has to win the division.  
     

    second being how likely is it Denver sweeps the chargers and in the hypothetical where we win 10 what are the chances the one loss is to the chargers?  I’d say very low for both which makes neither of those teams a very serious threat 

     

    so it might look scary but really it’s 6 teams vying for 4 playoff spots(one will win afc south) and one of them is the jake browning led bengals with the same record as us. 
     

    its actually kind of a strength a lot of these teams have games against eachother left not a weakness for us…theres no chance of 4 teams all pulling a game ahead any given week.  Its likely two of the teams you mentioned will beat up on some of the other wildcard competitors paving the way to the 7 seed

     

    If Indy jax Cleveland pit all had starting qbs I think it would be a bit more of a tossup but as it stands 10 wins has a very good chance of being enough

    Behind the scenes Bill is supposedly a funny guy from what his players/coaches have said. He is the opposite of his press conferences with the media where he sounds like a robot or a miserable guy answering questions. He has earned the right to be a control freak with his 9 Super Bowl appearances and 6 Lombardi trophies. Winning buys you credibility with the players, coaching staff, and fans.

    A lot of named ex players have said they hated playing for him or he was terrifying lol. I don’t think he’s a ‘funny guy’ in a coaching capacity at all but maybe in casual conversation unrelated to football 

     

    edelman said he’s terrifying and like the emperor

    cassius marsh said there’s nothing fun or happy about playing for the pats and he hated his time there

    Reggie Wayne signed there and reportedly said it was too tough then recanted it

    Brandon spikes called his time in NE ‘4 years a slave’

    Wes Welker referred to bill as someone you just have to endure and that he’s hard on everybody 

     

    I get that it got results and so on (although you can probably make a pretty solid case he lucked into Brady much like the bills lucked into Josh) but the point is things couldn’t have been THAT bad in Buffalo if these ex players are remaining anonymous because they think they’ll seem petty if people knew who they were.  I think belichick was such a tyrant that some of these players were at their breaking point and just didn’t care how complaining made them look

    Wouldn’t it be three in a row they lost the Philly

     

    Could be wrong on this

    They beat the raiders in between

    If we win, it’s kind of wild that we’ll only be one game behind the Chiefs record-wise.

     

    It definitely is a very winnable game and we could be catching them at the right time.

     

    We should have some confidence as well, since we’ve beaten them twice the past couple years in Arrowhead.

     

    Go Bills!

    We’d also be 2-0 against arguably the two best teams in the AFC and pretty bad against the rest of the afc 😂

    It's definitely going to take a large element of luck, not to mention, how are we going to play.  

     

    Problem with the wild card is that we have almost no tiebreakers.  There's virtually no chance that we win the division.  

     

    It's also uncomfortable knowing that other than for Miami, the teams that we've beaten are a combined 22-39 (.361).

     

    What remains are two division leaders, the best non-division leader, and @ the Chargers where we haven't won since the Knox days. 

     

    That doesn't sound encouraging or validating.  

     

     

    If we’re bringing historic win percentages into it there’s little to no chance we lose to Miami to be fair 😂. I wouldn’t read into the historic results vs the chargers in SD too much for that reason

    What’s more likely? Miami beating up on bad teams like they’ve done all season. Or Bills going on a 5 game win streak that they have not shown a capacity to do all season. Personal feelings aside most would agree that the probability of the first scenario is greater than the second. Unless a person is too blinded by the Bills light to see clearly. 

    I think a 9 win team will get one of the wildcards or the bills at 10 wins.  Lookin at the teams in the hunt I don’t really see anyone pulling away except for maybe the Texans but if the Texans pull away they likely beat Cleveland and Indy which would kind of be good for us? 

     

    I doubt it’s gonna take winning out from us

    People say that, but honestly, our defense has played well enough for this team to be at least 10-2 if not 11-1 right now had the offense not crapped the bed week 1 and for 6 straight weeks under Dorsey.  

     

    Had our offense played like it has under the first 2 weeks of Brady, we would actually be 11-1 right now with the only loss being Philly since we did lose that one with our offense playing well.  

     

    D has its issues, but our record is a reflection of our offense.  Our low scoring offense 20.5 ppg for 6 weeks against bad competition put our defense in positions at ends of games that they shouldn't have been in had we just scored points like this team should have been scoring.  Those 1 score losses should have been multiple score leads by end of the game.  

    They maybe shouldn’t have been in those positions sure but the defense has to hold once or twice on a final drive out of six different games lol that’s really not too much to ask. Not being able to stop NE or NYG(without needing a bailout from the refs) or DEN is literally insane 🤣. Just one stop out of a ton of chances and it’s a completely different season.  If the defense got a few of those stops I’d have no problem putting all the blame on the offense 
     

    there’s plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the ball.  Last year the offense was more consistent and if the defense was this bad late in one score games we would’ve been much closer to .500 despite winning 13
