He had all night to think of an answer to this question and this is what he came up with 🤣 I think he wanted to control the time of possession to reduce stress on his gimpy defense. That doesn’t work if you can’t move the ball and you are punting anyway.

I think it isn’t an unlikely outcome that the Bills beat the weaker part of their schedule, go 10-7 and sneak in. It won’t be impressive, but it wouldn’t surprise me either. If we lose next week that is pretty much dead in my mind.

I hope we win next week, but if we lose it won’t be so bad. I’ll be able to emotionally release the expectations I had from before the season and accept we likely will not be making the playoffs.

I watch other teams, and WRs are running wide open for easy completions. I never see that with the Bills and I think it is a combination of scheme, lack of talented receivers, and Allen not pulling the trigger quickly enough (in that order of importance).

This guy needs canned. Bills looked bad and out of sorts most of last year too. What kind of offense requires the QB to play MVP-caliber to win? An offense that is poorly schemed and poorly coached.

We won’t have the tie breaker at 9-8 IMO, and there will definitely be a tie at that record.

So we need to finish better than 3 out of the following 5 teams. Really 3 out of 4 teams if you think Cincy is back to normal. Steelers (5-3): Worse than their record indicates. Probably turn back into a pumpkin Browns (5-3): Top defense in the league. Watson is a wild card. Hopefully he sinks their season. Bengals (5-3): Appear to have figured it out. Pencil them in for the first wild card spot. Jets (4-3): Never win or lose big. Not sure what to make of them. Texans (4-4): Easy remaining schedule. It is possible they finish 6-3. Very inconsistent though. Lost to the Falcons and Panthers. I think we need to really start rooting for the Steelers, Jets and Texans to start losing. Maybe a 9-8 Bills can sneak in the wild card in that case.

If we lose either of the next 2 games then the playoffs are effectively dead. I won’t necessarily be rooting for draft position at that point, but it will be a silver lining if we keep losing.

We have no (realistic) SB chance. Best chance is to make it and hope Allen gets extremely hot.

That’s a given. If we are lucky, then we will be 7-7 and looking at 3 winnable games to make the playoffs, maybe win the division.

For a bunch of reasons: - The Dolphins can lose 4 more games, we can only lose 3. - We have to win vs the Jets and Pats who we’ve already lost to. - The Chargers is one of our “easy” games, but it’s a west coast road trip. A lot of times whoever travels loses those.

He always looks like he’s on the verge of crying. I think that is just his face.

Another avenue is the Dolphins completely collapsing. It has happened before…

It’s complementary football, and it’s meaningless. Football is points scored per drive vs points allowed per drive. I think McDermott is losing it.

Updated the original post. We have 3 available losses left. 9-8 isn’t going to do it. The Bills will have to pull off something like this schedule or it’s over folks: Denver - W Jets - W @ Philly - L @ KC - L Dallas - L @ Chargers - W Pats - W @ Miami - W

Why did Von dive anyway? Stay in front of him and wait for reinforcements.

Holding on the edge

Bengals are in FG range right now. Need a negative play

If Jackson is out then we are down 3 starting DBs from the beginning of the game.

Bengals only need 3 yards for a long FG to end it.

That was an incredible catch by Diggs.

Diggs ran into a brick wall of a man

I guess they got an extra long TO. Hope they used it well.

I don’t think it will be close enough to matter.

It would be 2nd and 2 or 1. Still a dumb challenge.
