Low Positive

It probably would have, but at the time it would have felt like the end of the season. The Bills would have been 6-7 and would have needed the Jags to completely collapse down the stretch to get in. As it turned out, the Jags did just that. What I remember is that the NYT simulator had the Bills at a 19% chance of making the playoffs after their OT loss in Philly going into the bye.

In 2023, the Bills were a Kadarius Toney toe away from missing the playoffs.

People are panicking in here today and the Bills didn’t even play.

Why is Cody a “former Buffalo Bill.” He’s played longer not in Buffalo than in Buffalo.

GM had nothing to do with it. That move was ALL Haslem

But they paid Purdy a lot of money. When he’s healthy, he’ll play.

49ers can't catch a break with the injuries.

Their fans are angry at DeCosta for taking a luxury pick at safety instead of investing in depth for the DL where they were really thin. I would say they are engaging in hindsight, but lord knows we do a lot of that around here.

It only feels that way because you read this board, where the BBFS flows like a mudslide and McDermott is the worst coach since Rich Kotite.

Usually a week 7 bye kinda sucks, but it worked out for them.

Do you remember 2021? When the Bills were in 2nd place when Mac Jones ripped off 7 straight wins while the Bills went 3-5? Or how about 2023, when the Dopphins led the division from week 5 until we beat them in week 18? Here is the mythical 13-second season, which all of TBD remembers as a runaway success until McDumbass pissed it away, just for reference. We've been in dogfights for the division before during this run, and we're likely in one this year too.

They'll lose at least one to Pittsburgh. They do pretty much every year, even when they are rolling and the Steelers have Kenny Pickett.

That's great defense, doncha know?

NFL Announcer: That was great defense! My eyes, almost every time: DPI

I always like to pretend that Ladd McConkey is from Eastern Europe and his name is actually Ladislav.

Fins gonna lose in the most heartbreaking way.

I hate John Hussy voice, even when he's calling PI on the Cowboys.

Because there is no moderator in this thread today, we've now said exactly that about every player who has made a play today in the 1:00 window.

Snoop Huntley, who is now in the game, is probably a better choice. That offense is designed around a mobile QB.

These threads are miserable without moderation.

Sure, but he didn't work in NE and they cut bait quickly. It's interesting what they did. It's now clear that last year was a cap-reset year to undo the mistakes Belichick made in his post-Brady tenure. Then they brought in the coach they were always going to hire and let him have all that cap space to play with.

Not only that, but they missed on a first-round QB and recovered from that mistake very quickly. That doesn't usually happen.

I mean, the Pats OL was the only line that didn't hold for 20 years, and then they suddenly starting holding in 2020. In an uncertain world, it's nice that something is back to normal.

This place is lousy with Pats fans today.

Sorry, gotta post this:
