Low Positive

Even if Hills and Waddle play, they are nowhere near 100%. Waddle is two weeks removed from a high ankle sprain and Hill is in a boot.

What's stupid is that just because we happened to lose to NE and Denver, who happen to be in the AFC and beat the Giants and Bucs, who happen to be in the NFC, we might miss the playoffs. Switch those four games, and I believe that the Bills are in.

The way that I see it is this. This is a playoff game, with a distinct advantage. If the Bills can't win a game like this against a hobbled Miami team, then they can't win the playoffs. If they can't win in the playoffs, let's take the higher draft pick. In other words, I would rather lose this week than in the divisional round in two weeks.

As I posted in another thread, only 8 wildcard teams have won the SB since 1980. Winning three straight road games is a tough ask, especially for the Fins who would probably have to go to Arrowhead in the cold.

As far as I understand it, Nate Peterman is a whiteboard wizard. Essentially an extra coach in the QB room. It's what's kept him employed in the league and I expect that he'll be a great OC if he decides to get into coaching.

McDaniel left his best pass rusher out there in the 4th quarter of a blow-out loss, only to lose him for the season. He's like a kid playing with toy soldiers.

Only 7 Wildcard teams have won the Superbowl since 1980. I think that all coaches know how hard it is to win three straight road games, especially for Miami who would likely have to play three cold-weather games. I expect the Fins to bring it on Sunday.

If things were scripted, there is no way that Taylor Swift and the Chiefs are not playing “America’s Team” in the Super bowl.

Thank you so much for finding that. I see that referenced here all the time but I had no way of finding it. That is pure TBD gold right there, right up there with the Josh Allen draft night thread and some Dunkirk Don action. The secret is that some subset of all fan bases want the coach fired unless they are actively winning SBs. Also, the Fins are currently coming off of an embarrassing butt-kicking.

Jets cut Saffold from the PS too.

What's crazy is that he had over 1,000 yards rushing, almost 300 yards receiving, and 10 TDs just last year. Your mistake is believing that Joe Douglas is the GM of the NY Football Jets.

I'm surprised that they kept him that long.

Is there a requirement that every attempt at spring football has to have a team in Birmingham?

Andy Reid is not an elite coach?

I did too, but I just yelled them at the TV.

I keep that thread bookmarked.

With the amount of Steeler fans in Seattle today, I never want to hear about The 12s ever again.

Are we about to see MJ10?

I would be feeling so much better about this if I hadn’t seen the Pats beat the Broncos last week.

So no more merry-go-rounds?

I think McDermott might want the opening night starting DL to take the field for this one.

Joseph being inactive is surprising to me.

Up with people!

Not only that, but the Chargers had a new defensive play caller with no film. It took the Bills a quarter to figure out what the Chargers were doing.

Not the players. They celebrated beating the Broncos like they had won a playoff game. Zappe is playing to be the starter next year and Belichick would like nothing more than to win some meaningless games on his way out of the door to stick it to Kraft. Every single layer on that team is playing for a contract. I expect the Bills to get the Pats best effort.
