Yeah but who won the game (in buffalo mind you) when the played? Broncos to me a true dark horse SB team this year and have all the pieces to make a serious run. In fact I believe if KC slips up and loses just one game the rest of the way and the Broncos win out then all of a sudden Den takes the divison and KC is in the Wildcard picture which is key because we have tiebreaker over them but not Broncos obviously.

Belichik to LAC is so obvious and might be the perfect offseason match in years. If it does happen the Chargers will be an instant SB contender next year.

I agree with this because he's determined to break the all time record and it could lead to turnovers with Tua forcing the ball his way. This is a massive game for Miami and if they lose it could cost them dearly in terms of keeping hold on the division lead.

Not sure about seeding but gut feeling right now tells me: Division Winners: Chiefs Dolphins Ravens Jaguars Wild Cards Bills Broncos Bengals/Browns - this to me is a coin flip and the matchup at the final week of season is essentially a 'play in' game IMO. Also think that somehow, someway the Bills and Chiefs are going to play again in the playoffs with unfortunately the same result as 2020/2021 since KC will get homefield once again and have a chip on their shoulder after what happened last week.

Regardless of whether or not Hyde plays again this year, most know this team is going to look very different next year especially on the defensive side of the ball. I think for sure Hyde, Poyer and White are all gone.

Taking the Bills out of the equation, I'm not very confident in most of these results going the Bills way this week. - Bengals have some serious momentum with this Browning kid and pretty much look like the team that has made it back to back AFFCG and one SB the last few years. I expect them to win fairly easy here just like last week against the Colts. - Like most I felt Detroit was a real dark horse SB contender this year but they appear to be going in the opposite direction on both sides of the ball. We know the story with Denver and if they do win this game, not only are the playoffs very real for them but also the AFCW given KC's recent struggles. - I think the Titans beat Texans especially if Stroud doesn't play. - Steelers are terrible and finally catching up to the metrics that say as much so not expecting them to win here even though I agree it would help in the short term since they probably won't win another game left on the schedule. - Bears are flying under the radar to bit and very much alive in NFC playoff picture but hard to bet against the Browns with Flacco looking like the guy that won a SB many years ago. - I think Dolphins respond and Jets and Zack Wilson look back to normal unfortunately - No way the Chiefs are losing 3 in a row. - This is almost must win territory for the Jaguars but still think Ravens are better and will win. At the end of the day the Bills just need to take care of their own business but a lot of these results will be known before the Bills play in the late window again in case they need extra incentive should some big upsets go their way again.

This Cowboys team might be the best team in the NFL right now, at the very least better than KC/Philly. Bills will truly need to play their best overall game of the season in this one to take the win.

I wasn't necessarily high on this move at first, but in hindsight if this team makes the playoffs and goes on a run it will be looked at as a brilliant move by Beane. Also think he's an upgrade over White who in all likelihood has played his last down for the Bills, and maybe the NFL period.

Still think there will be at least 5 teams lining up for Hoodie's services even at 71 years old but obviously going to a team that already has pieces vs. a true rebuilding effort is going to make sense for both sides. That's why I keep looking in the Chargers direction since they have a franchise QB , some other nice offensive pieces and defense is what's been holding them back in recent years. Could see a very quick turnaround there if it happens.

I still think the Dolphins are good enough to win the division and the get to the superbowl but unfortunately they are getting hit hard with injuries at the worst possible time. If Tua is truly an MVP candidate he's going to need to take over the rest of the way and put the team on his shoulders or the Bills might very sneak up and steal the division again.

Yeah Groot has been a big disappointment. Some fans will keep using the injury excuse with him, but reality is he's just not very good outside of his run defense and ironically he's pretty much following Shaq Lawson's career trajectory in terms of a guy projected to be a pass rusher but ends up excelling in run support. As for Miller, still think any chance this team has of making the playoffs and going on a run is having him making an impact and at least he showed flashes of that on Sunday against the Chiefs.

So is everyone but don't be surprised if they still end up with the #1 seed and it's business as usual come January in terms of them getting a bye and not facing a real challenge until the AFFCG again. In fact it's almost like the NFL is trying real hard to screw them in ways the fans notice now (i.e. the last few games) and then magically every questionable call will swing back in KC's favor in the playoffs/SB/etc.

I've pondered this Mahomes situation for a while now and quite frankly it reads as pure entitlement and almost adds fuel to the conspiracy theories in that his very public outburst was like 'That wasn't the script and we were supposed to win' type of deal towards the NFL and referees. Either way this team better hope they don't see the Chiefs again in the playoffs if they get there or I fear it will be a repeat of 2020/2021.

I agree about the Chargers, with or without Herbert available but don't underestimate the Dolphins fans in what could be a massive game that could determine division title, seeding, or even the Bills making the playoffs period. At least it likely won't be 120 degrees there like last time the bills visited (and lost).

Well if this team were to go on and win the superbowl, all I know is that Terry Pegula better build a giant Dunne statue at the new stadium.

Unfortunately I have little sympathy for the Dolphins given the Bills and many other teams current injury situations. They likely still have the inside track for the division title but there is going to be big time pressure in South Beach for McDaniel and this team to respond against the Jets now that they've dropped out of the #1 seed and the Bills are still lurking.

It can't be understated how massive this game is. For everything that has went wrong this season, pretty much all of it can be rectified by winning this game. McDummy may have caught a break against the Chiefs but he can truly flex in this one by game planning against another top 5 NFL offense and QB right now. Bills truly starting to feel like one of those grimy teams that could make a deep run in the playoffs if they get there.

Dunne is one of the most respected up and coming writers in NFL circles. In fact everything he puts out there is very thought provoking and detailed. As for Hyde's comments, he's currently on the team and obviously not going to trash his head coach. And to be frank, he's one of many players this team should have already cut bait with as he's overpaid and on the decline which is part of the problem with the current head coach and GM's inability to properly evaluate players.

If you still believe that then why am I not here gloating about the Dolphins being the #1 seed in the AFC, on their way to the division title, best QB in NFL, etc? Because I don't care them....it's simply a lost opportunity and another reason why this team must move swiftly on finding a new head coach and innovative mind like said guy in Miami.

People keep saying this but Andy Reid also went to something like 5 straight NFCCG with the Eagles and had one SB appearance in a game they could have won against the Patriots if a few bounces of the ball go differently before his second stint with the Chiefs. Belichik was also a very accomplished DC under Parcells and won multiple SB's there including against us in the infamous wide right game. I may be one of McD biggest critics, but if he had led this team to even one SB (loss) he'd definitely get the benefit of the doubt from most.

Yeah but the difference is guys like Belichik and Reid have multiple superbowl appearances and rings to back it up. That's what people still don't get about McDummy...his crowing achievement is reaching one single conference championship game in the weird Covid year and getting curb stomped despite taking an early 10-0 lead in that game.

All I know is that if the Bills lose this game with these key Chiefs players out, they better lock down Orchard Park afterwords and get McDummy private security from all the pitchforks. As much as I hate the guy I actually feel sorry for him right now, if anything because of the tremendous pressure and fact I think they still end up losing this game despite the Chiefs being the most banged up they have all season.

My point was that people wanted to throw these silly labels around because they didn't want to hear or listen to my opinion or commentary or believe I was right. Also remember that I predicted this teams demise well in advance (along with many other national pundits, talking heads, rational fans, etc).

I still think it's very interesting that Dunne is validating everything that myself and other 'crusaders', 'trolls', etc have been saying since 2021. Of course it's easier to digest coming from a well connected write vs random message board posters. And the bottom line the longer this clap happy fool is on the Bills sidelines, the worse things are going to get. I feel the overall collective anger from Bills fans will boil over big time come Sunday night after this team loses in KC despite getting lot of help in the early games (and last night with the Steelers/Pats result) which is somewhat ironic that the same team on the other side of 13 seconds will effectively be ending this teams season again, just not in the postseason this time.

Will be curious to see what Pacheco's status is after today's practices, because if anything I think that moves the needle in the Bills direction if he's not able to play because I think he's the type of player that typically would explode against the Bills. Either way won't be shocked if all of a sudden the Chiefs WR's magically start catching everything thrown their way and KC's offense plays a flawless game against the Bills because that's just how these things work out for this team.
