NEVER underestimate mcgloin. Guy has more heart than anyone in the NFL. He isn't the most talented, but he can play well beyond his raw ability. I'm rooting for him.

Yikes. Things looked to go our way, then all the games broke against us at the end. We are still mathematically in it...but we need ALOT of help, and no room for error. Its almost impossible. But here is what needs to happen. Buffalo win out (I'll say this is likely to make me feel better) NE beat Den and Mia (Likely) Pit beat Baltimore (more likely than not) DEN lose out (playing NE, OAK, KC...possible, but I find it somewhat unlikely they lose 3 in a row) AFC South: HOU and TEN play each other, so one of them is going to have 9+ wins and win the division. The team that doesnt win the division needs to go 0-2. So we need CIN to beat HOU next week and/or JAX to beat TEN to pass them in the standings. CIN beat Baltimore (probably 50/50 at best) IND needs a loss to either OAK or JAX Ouch. Good win today, but we need WAY too much help.

We are still mathematically in it...but its a long shot now...even if we win out.

Why do we assume 10-6 wont be enough? IF we go 10-6 (and I highly doubt we will), then it will be with wins over Pittsburgh and Miami. Here are the teams currently ahead of us: Chiefs/Raiders (okay, lets assume that we wont pass them,,,so its down to 1 WC slot we are cometing for) Miami - Best they can finish is 10-6, but with games left against cardinals and Patriots 9-7 is probably best case. Steelers - Best they can finish is 10-6, but have a h2h loss against us. Would need to beat Bengals and Ravens. Ravens - Still have Pats, Eagles, Steelers and Benga's. Unlikely they finish better than 10-6. Could win division. Broncos - Seemingly Sitting pretty at 8-4, but have the Patriots, Chiefs, Raiders and Titans left. ouch. Doubt they exceed 9-7. Titans/Colts/Texans - all 6-6 now. one will win the division, but these teams still have many games against each other left, and alot of nonconference games against the raiders and chiefs. Unlikely anyone here gets to 10-6. It is impossible for 2 teams to win out, so the 2nd place team wont be better than 9-7. So really, its likely it is us vs. Ravens for that last spot (again, assuming we win out). But if the Ravens win the division...im not sure who else is really a danger.

Thread is useless without Solomon Wilcots being at the bottom of the list.

Will miss her in DC. She was always front and center, and a good top cop.

im hoping for "New Era at Ralph Wilson Stadium"

If true (and I still am suspect), I think once you look past one case, then it becomes harder and harder to blow the whistle, since it will become abundantly clear that you did not do the right thing the first time around. The longer this goes on...the worse off you will look if you decide to do the right thing. But the Pennsylvania Solicitor General came out today and said these new claims were not verifiable and "of no value". The coaches in question deny ever seeing anything. Its speculation as to what really happened, but the new evidence here is pretty damn weak, and certainly not enough to merit headlines on CNN and ESPN.

This doesnt make alot of sense to me. If true, it would mean that not only did Paterno know Sandusky abused children in 1971 (when he was in his 2nd year as a defensive line coach), but he then allowed Sandusky remain on the staff, and to start up his charity (The Second Mile) to help at-risk children in 1977, with alot of support by Paterno. Sandusky became a big name in College Football in the early 1980s, but he was certainly a nobody from 1971-1977. Comments made by this victim such as stating Paterno said "How can you say this about someone who did all these good things" are very strange, since at that point Sandusky hadnt even become a DL coach or started his charity.

Free? Do you not eat/drink while watching the game?

Its on the tv before he hears it on the phone and reacts.... seems staged to me.

Not bills...but "He Hate Me" is the best of all time. Bills...how about "The Juice"???

I have zero interest in Cardale. Mr "Why do I have to got to class? I came here to play football, not play school". Seriously? This kid would be off my list for that attitude alone.

Good Analysis on Hackenberg http://www.battleredblog.com/2016/1/27/10842470/the-film-room-christian-hackenberg-2016-scouting-report-texans-bill-obrien

I was rooting for Seattle...only because of Freddy! Oh well. So much for that.

How about trading Shady McCoy for Kiko Alonzo?

Well...lets see...where else can you hunt deer in your backyard?

Okay...so the NFL website is bunk. It hasn't been updated since 2007! Why would you need updated numbers?! http://www.nfl.com/history/randf/records/team/penalties Wikipedia says the seahawks hold the record for penalty yards 1,415 in 2013, and the Raiders had 163 penalties in 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Football_League_records_%28team%29#Penalties Still....there is a chance!

#Werenumber1 Did some digging. According to the NFL.com, here are the records for team penalties in a season Most Penalties: 158 (1998 Chiefs) - 9.9 penalties per game Most Penalty Yards: 1,304 yards (1998 Chiefs) - 81.5 yards/game Current Bills Stats 124 Penalties (9.5/game) 1,086 yards (83.5/game) So if the bills only need 11.3 penalties per game to break the all time most penalized team. And they only need 218 penalty yards (72.7/game) to break the all time yardage penalty. We've acheved 70+ yards penalized 8 times this season. Wow.

I know..I belive its over as much as everyone else...BUT....just for fun...do this. Go here: http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/machine Select "Power Rankings" as the default W/L. Set the Bills to beat the Jets (We are favored for all other games) Then...make the Steelers Lose to either the Ravens or Browns. This results in the bills in the Playoffs. As horrible as it seems right now, if the bills win out, I think they have a 50/50 shot at making the playoffs. Thats a big IF, but not big enough for me to give up hope...yet...

And Sammy and McCoy got up limping a few times as well. Oh and Godwin.

Why Bungles??? Also, need indy to lose. would hate for indy/houston to join the WC mix

Oh, and he is also Doug Marrones best friend (no joke), so dont think he is beyond up and quitting his head coach job!!! http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Doug-Marrone--Bill-OBrien-Old-friends-reunite-for-first-NFL-meeting/75cbdeee-4da0-4984-8481-cab135ec3e2c
