If NE beats Denver tonight, then… Bills win Chiefs win (Cin) Seahawks win (Pitt)

There is a silver lining to the Dolphins winning today. The Ravens will NEED to beat them next week in order to maintain the #1 seed. They will be highly motivated to win that game.

Hoping for an INT here.

Dallas is still dumb! I like the ring to that.

WHY WOULD YOU NOT RUN THE BALL AT THE 1 YARD LINE!!!

Think we need the Pats to beat the Broncos tonight too.

Dolphins kicker with THREE 50+ yard kicks.

Watching these games makes me feel like the Bills are the only team in the NFL without an all-pro K and P.

They should have scored the previous play. Pollard, inexplicably, cut inside instead of going for the pylon.

Great thread. Hard to imagine so many games going our way! Everyone is helping us. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the NFL doesn’t want a playoff with non-interesting QB’s like Minshew and whoever Houston’s backup is.

They just showed the NFC playoff picture and there were multiple 5-9 teams still in the hunt. Yikes.

According to NYT, a Browns win gives us an 8% boost. Which is large. Browns are winning and Falcons are winning. Everything looking goood.

Yes but these aren’t easy throws. Flacco is throwing some frozen ropes into tight spaces.

Flacco playing better than he did during his Super Bowl run haha.

Yea sir, thank you. I thought I saw 33 but you’re right it was 39!

Merry Christmas everyone.

Neal (coming from the side) spooked the runner. You can actually see him look at Neal as he starts to run. The hope had 6 blockers and 2 defenders. Very much doubt that wouldn’t hold up.

ONE player making a great play does not mean we played it properly. It means ONE player fixed a major problem that was developing. If the line lets 5 free rushers through to hit Josh, but he spins around, does his Allen magic, and throws a TD ... does that mean the line played it well? No. It means, ONE player fixed a major issue. Neal made a great play. One player. I've been teling you this in the other thread. NEAL. He fixed a major issue by himself. We need to fix this so in the future the whole defense is playing this properly. We had 3 or 4 guys tackling one lateraling player. Falling over themselves. It was bad. .

That's Neal. Who I have told you several times is the REAL player who blew up the play (not Benford) He is the 1 Bill who read this perfectly the entire time.

We are talking about that in this thread. There are 2 posters who are adament that we played this well. We didn't. We played it poorly and only had 2 or 3 Bills defenders against 7 Chargers. Thankfully the Chargers runner hesitated and Neal made a fantastic play to read the cross-field lateral and move to cut off any cutback lane.

That's probably exactly what he was thinking. He made the wrong choice. He had a much better chance just hitting the hole and trusting himself to make 1 guy miss. These lateral plays are all about making guys miss. Watch Neal on the reverse angle though. I don't know why those other 2 are talking Benford. Neal is who blew the play up. He made the runner hesitate because he read the lateral quickly and moved cross field. .

I'm thinking the same. Diggs has some injury we don't know about. Because this injury hasn't compromised his game ability, they arent obligated to report it.

Neal had a FAR better shot at the runner than Benford (coming from the other side). In fact, I think Neal saved the play. He read the cross-field lateral and moved over. He made the runner second guess the path and essentially blew up the play. Overall, in the MCM, we were in much better position to make a tackle than we were last night. Look at all these Bills players who had the angle on Dyson... This logic is essentially "players never make mistakes". I don’t agree with that. I'm done arguing this though. You can have the last word. .

In the MCM, our players were 20 yards closer to Dyson and we STILL couldn't catch him. I think you underestimate how difficult it is to catch up to a guy 40+ yards away, even running on a diagonal, when they have blockers. I get that you find it preposterous that Benford would miss a tackle while being pushed sideways by a blocker, but that's common. I fully expect McD to look at the tape and say "this was not good" and fix it. Despite you and Goatski attempts to pretend that all went according to plan.

Gosh I hope you're right. What a Merry Christmas (eve) that would be.
