I agree they are trash but they are 10-7. That has to tell you something. Trash teams don't go 10-7. Tomlin always seems a way to get wins.

He's proven he can lead his team to a Lombardi Trophy. I've always liked Tomlin. He's tough and a straight shooter. His team sucks this year and they are playoff bound.

Exactly. Shows you how good of a coach Tomlin is. When he had Ben he won rings.

Great coaching job by Tomlin this year. Switched out Picket for Rudolph was a nice move.

Why? The Ravens played hard in a meaningless game.

A Raven TD seems unlikely here.

That sucked.

That hurts

Regardless if both teams are in before the game both teams want that 2 seed very badly. It's a huge accomplishment and statement for Miami to win the AFC East. The number 2 seed is a huge playoff advantage vs the 6 or 7 seed. Both teams are going balls to the wall here to win. It will truly be a playoff atmosphere game.

One of my concerns is the Bills oline vs their pass rush. Lately, the Bills pass protection has been a little less effective. A Fangio D will likely not give up huge plays. I think Allen has to have good vision, be decisive, accurate, and beat the Dolphins with short quick passes. The WRs have to get some separation and catch the ball. Bills have to get TDs in the red zone. I believe the Bills are near the top in this category while the Dolphins D is near the back. Obviously, the Bills dline has to disrupt Tua's timing. Need big games from the pass rush.

Of course. But you going to refuse help if someone else offer to lift your luggage? That's my point.

I just don't see Pitt or the Jags losing. Sure it's possible but I think both teams are good enough to win. Pitt always seems to find a way to win and Tenn isn't very good. I'll be watching both games hoping somehow the Titans or Ravens can pull off the upset. You should care about the Jacksonville vs Tenn and Pitt vs Baltimore games. It can give the Bills an automatic playoff birth. FYI, the Bills can very well lose the game in Miami.

Have I improved after the time out?

I agree.

Do you think Buffalo dominated Miami last year?

I don't think motivation is going to be a major factor here. It's more about game plan, schemes, adjustments, execution, talent, a little luck, etc.. Motivation is really far back. Ok then just give Pitt and the Jags the wins because they must win.

Miami has a lot to play for. If they lose I believe they go to Arrowhead to play vs winning and playing at home vs a weaker team. That's a huge difference. Not to mention this division rivals dislike each other. I'm sure the ass whipping Buffalo gave them in week 4 sucked. In short, Miami will be every but motivated and energetic to play.

I don't know. If the Bills get in they are more than capable of running the table. Of course the path is easier as a 2 seed. I'm a bit concerned about the Bills offense and special teams. Both have been pretty inconsistent. I think the defense is starting to peak. D Jones and AJ back really helps. Douglas was a great addition that was badly needed. McD D has been good at finishing games.

I agree I'm just fearful the Bills lose to Miami and miss the playoffs. I would be so disappointed. This is my thought process as well. I just can't get a feel for this team.

Bills 24 Miami 23

I'd be shocked if Pitt or the Jags lose. It's possible but I truly think the Ravens may want to lose to try to knock out the dangerous Bills' team.

I don't think the will be unfocused and or unprepared. I have no worries on this front.

I want the Bills to beat Miami so bad!!! I can't even put it in words. My heart will be beating rapidly. I suspect a close game but a Bills blowout would be ecstasy. Great post too!

Nice breakdown. Not a lot to quibble about here. I think it boils down to whether you feel a coaching change would be beneficial and worth the risk. Not an easy decision.

I don't fear the unknown. I'd be willing to hire a new creative young offensive mind. Ben Johnson is at the top of the list. He makes Geoff look special. Imagine what he can do with Allen.
