    Oh dam….  Thanks. I wonder why they have seattle listed in the 7th spot.  How does that make sense if they have the same record

    Green Bay would have better conference record, but Seattle beat Detroit.  So Seattle has tiebreaker on Detroit, but not GB. 

     

    Three-way tie right now must have common opponents tiebreaker or something that gives the nod to Seattle

    Playoffs...probably not, unless the Chiefs get hit with insane injuries one year or some serious bad luck during the game.  After last year, it's hard to imagine how we would beat them there.  Score 50 points?

    Man you are a real buzzkill.

    At some point SOON the Bills are going to NEED Josh Allen to get his head back in the game.

     

    It is ridiculous to think the Bills will just coast to a Super Bowl Win just because we have Josh Allen on our team.

     

    These errant throws over the heads of receivers or ending in interceptions are going bite the Bills in the ass when facing more formidable opponents.

     

     

    Did you watch the Miami game, or do you have short term memory loss issues?

    Looking ahead to the Bengals- another Cinci DE gets injured

    Ok I get that and respect your take-.

    Don't necessarily agree but we don't need to either -

    I guess over the last multiple years of seeing the sad end to players who had multiple is concerning to me and usually these guys are straight dedicated to their team and make decisions that don't always take there future into consideration,

    But I guess that's the sport anyway so maybe it's just me being to cautious

    I do feel like the Bills have an awesome medical staff and make good decisions with their players and their safety so perhaps this is why I don't make decisions on players

     

     

    Actually, the current working hypothesis by experts in the field is that sub-concussive blows, not concussions, may be the main problem with CTE/long-term injury.  But there is no valid scientific consensus that either concussions or sub-concussive blows cause long term problems.  There are people with lots of blows to the head that never develop CTE, and lots of folks who have CTE that never had any blows to the head. They just don't know why yet.

     

    The science does not support that you have to stop playing after 3, 5 or 15 concussions.  Morse needs to work with his doctors to understand his specific risks.  And I am sure he will not play if the risks are unreasonable.  But the conjecture on this board is just that-- rank conjecture by people with no degree in neurology or neuropathology. Let Morse and the doctors have the time they need.

    So, reading the board, we lost again. 3-11. Sigh.

    Myopic? When responding to blanket statements like "there’s no acknowledgment"

     

    Please.

     

    Some folks make those predictions you mention and the doom and gloom team comparisons, I largely ignore those and it doesnt bother me very much. There are no "complete" teams out there so it is a week by week matchup league. Look at mighty KC eeking out an OT win vs Houston.

     

    For me that has little to do with how my Bills execute plays, or the things I like to discuss that I think they could do better with the personnel they have.

     

     

    You may ignore them, but others do not and so they comment.

     

    And it is obvious all teams could do things better, including the Bills.  The line could block better, as it is an average to slightly above average line without missing two starters including the anchor in Morse replaced by a third-string center.  Roughing the kicker penalty was beyond absurd.  Knox dropping two balls not good.  Defense overall was not great, especially against run.  Yet despite all that, Bills beat a good team that brought its A game on offense.

     

    But totally agree it is a week to week  matchup league, and what happened on 12/17 does not lock in what happens in January and February.  That's all some are saying if not stated with precision.

    Apparently you have not read the recent posts regarding the play of the Jets and the Patriots this week.

     

    But you are welcome to think people on here aren’t aware of other teams flaws

     

     

    I think you are being a bit myopic.  When a poster posts-- in this thread-- that the Bills "cannot" beat the Bengals, KC, SF, Dallas or Philly "playing as they are" it suggests that people are obtuse to the limitations of other teams such that the Bills have no chance.  The Bills certainly can beat all those teams, even with their A games.  And no team has its A game all of the time. Bills have roughly a 17% chance to win the SB according to oddsmakers.  So it is very likely the Bills will not win the SB.  But so what. And these BS "we can't win posts" do get tiresome.
