People want to be critical of Allen which is fine. But you have a multi SB winner, Tom Brady who gestured and flailed his arms wildly trying to get calls for years. I mean i always called him a whiny b**ch but hey, it worked quite often. More power to him.

The Chargers management (whoever are left) are doing a tank job for a better draft position. The team out there should not beat the Bills. The result should not be in doubt entering the 4th Qtr. If it is, then Buffalo are frauds. There’s no nice way to put it.

I’d really be concerned about this Phillips injury for this weekend, but people are telling me the Bills will easily win by 30 so no worries. I guess i am worrying for nothing.🤷🏼‍♂️

I hope he flops his way to a Lombardi trophy. There was a nice flop by Kelce yesterday too trying to draw a DPI in the end zone.

We have so many great attributes this season, arguably the best team in the AFC or top 2 and they have to win out to get in the playoffs. smh.

Normally i would hate playing Miami 3 times in a season but hey, if they run the table and beat the Phins twice and get in, I'll take my chances. There was also a scenario i saw that would place Buffalo at KC in round one. Ugh. Talk about rough. Having to beat those guys twice in Arrowhead within 5 weeks or so?!? There's no easy road. Just get in and plow through everyone.

I do not think the league is fixed. I do think the NFL is a massive TV show worth billions (TV revenue, advertising revenue, franchise values, etc.) It's entertainment and the ultimate reality TV. And what the NFL wants are to have the best players and best teams in the tournament. I do believe as some have suggested they can't control outcomes but may try to steer the games in certain directions. For example, I do believe the league wants Buffalo in there. JA is the face of Madden for goodness sakes. He alone is a national brand and great for entertainment, the Bills avg. 30+ pts per game lately. After the Eagles debacle, I think the officiating has been very favorable to Buffalo. The calls in our favor have increased and some non calls on Buffalo for nitpicky crap have gone away. The procedural stuff will always be enforced, it's obvious. But they've swallowed the whistles on judgement plays that were called earlier this season. I expect that to continue through the end of the regular season.

I feel like more than a few OT games have worked against the Bills (in addition to their own losses). Not as many as i thought but here's the list of OT games involving AFC playoff hopefuls. I think OT results are bit of random luck to be honest (or being unlucky). Week 1 Jets defeat Bills 22-16 Week 2 Titans defeat Chargers 27-24 Week 3 Colts defeat Ravens 22-19 Week 4 Rams defeat Colts 29-23 Week 12 Eagles defeat Bills 37-34 Week 13 Colts defeat Titans 31-28 Week 13 Bengals defeat Jags 34-31 Week 14 Ravens defeat Rams 37-31 Week 15 Bengals defeat Vikings 27-24 Week 15 Texans defeat Titans 19-16

He almost killed the man. That's incredibly reckless.

Other than the perfect game vs NE, I don't think I've seen Buffalo play with such determination, physicality and preparedness as they did yesterday vs what is considered a good team. Even the DB's...the coverage was STICKY. And the hitting was crazy...some of it seemed like it was borderline late but hey, it sends a message. Just a great game by McDermott. Props to him for getting the team to play like that. They defended every blade of grass.

Oh yes. Always been that way with Skip. It's always Cowboys, Lakers (LeBron) and used to be Tom Brady but now that he's gone they just devote more time to Cowboys and Lakers. Lol.

By the way, as i mentioned in the pregame thread, the refs have put their whistles away on Buffalo. The NFL wants Buffalo in these playoffs. The league is an entertainment show, they want the best players and teams in it. Sure, they will have to call obvious procedural stuff, but they aren't flagging the dumb nitpicky judgement calls the past couple weeks and I expect that positive trend to continue through the end of the season.

I think the Raiders have a good chance to beat Indy and Denver at the end of this season. LV has found something. The O'Connell kid is playing well, they have confidence and the D has been really good. Antonio Pierce wants the gig full time.

Letdown games in the NFL are a real thing. Guys are human. Bills need to avoid it somehow. Chargers will play hard they were embarrassed. Bills have experienced their share of losing this season to inferior opponents so hopefully lesson learned. Be very careful with the football. Only carelessness and turnovers would ruin this game.

Lol. I love this. I think i said during the gameday thread how Cook is playing insane. The hands on that TD catch were as good as anyone. As for breaking tackles, James Cook does not even need to break any. The guy is slippery as hell and if he can continue to be slippery and the Oline plays like this he's the biggest weapon we have. So huge props to him.

Rapp is reckless, but if he can rein that in a bit, I do like having a threatening guy back there who will make opposing players think twice about getting blown up. Most of the Bills secondary are not like that.

Very true, and I'm wondering how they replicate that kind of energy and violence this week in a sterile west coast environment against an inferior opponent. We shall see. This is a week that not only coaching matters but internally the players need to get together and create a mindset.

Ironically, Allen's "lowkey" day in a blowout vs Dallas cost me my Fantasy playoff game. Go figure? But it's all good. The Bills wins over KC and Dallas were grind it out wins. There wasn't much flash in the passing game and there didn't need to be. Run well, move the chains w short passes, play solid D and don't turn it over. That's the recipe.

If the Bills lose to this version of the Chargers… or the Pats (again), they don’t deserve playoffs and no one should sweat it. If they are worthy, they will dispatch of the Chargers. Just need to bring the energy, and feed off what will be a big Buffalo crowd.

I also like Dallas at Miami. The sidelines shots late in the game were telling. They were humiliated. Their manhood was stolen. They were pissed and i’m sure will have one helluva week of practice. They will be out to prove they can beat a good team on the road, and Dallas is better than what they showed today, obviously.

Maybe Jax winning is better after looking at their remaining schedule. The Ravens would be behind Miami in conference wins, have a tough game at SF, and would set up a must win at Miami if they want the bye and 1 seed.

Really need Indy and Houston to start fading and they do play each other the final game. Need teams like Tenn, ATL and Raiders to do some damage. The Falcons look like hot garbage but the other 2 could win. Raiders got their swag back. Need Kansas City to lay a beating on Cincinnati when they go to Arrowhead on New Year’s eve. And i cannot see KC losing a 4th home game.

I’m rooting for Baltimore here, i assume that’s the play right? Pull for them to beat Jax and Mia

The Ravens D just seems to make enough plays, every week. Just enough. Like these final 2 Jax drives, weird fumble and stopped at the five.
