Low Positive

Since the Bills are not playing on Sunday, watch the Bengals vs. Pats game. Ja'Marr Chase is suspended, so you get to see what Tee HIggins looks like as a #1 without the best WR in the game drawing double coverage across from him. Flacco, depending on his shoulder, is more than capable of getting him the ball. I he doesn't show out in a must-win game, it will be very telling.

Everyone seems to forget that the Carolina game existed.

This should be the case, but the Bills' effort can wax and wane from week to week. They will need to bring it for the rest of the season. That is on the coaches to keep them focused. They can't control injuries or other variables like officiating and weather, but they can control their own effort level and focus. I mean, I still have no idea WTF happened in Miami.

Why are the Jags, who are in a fight for a playoff spot, releasing players?

Starting Thursday night, the Bills will begin a run of games against teams playing for their season. They will need to match that playoff-like intensity. Also, if they win Thursday night, their position for at least a WC spot is really strong. It's all in front of them, if they can meet the challenge.

I think tomorrow’s injury report is actually more telling for a Thursday game. If I were a coach, I would limit exposure for guys with any nicks during the short week. The install meetings are much more important than the actual practices.

Yes, they can miss. In fact, it is not even unlikely, based on records and tiebreakers. But I do not believe that they will. There is a real chance that Denver will collapse. They have problems on offense, regardless of the team they play. People chalk yesterday up to the Chiefs defense, but they struggled to score on the Raiders last week.

One of these teams believes their season is not yet over. The other doesn't have that belief.

Probably a future Patriot, what with all their cap space and need at WR. I hope he destroys that franchise from the inside, as he is wont to do.

Dak is sure playing like an MVP...

The Texans got something for Mechie, and his production over two seasons was even less than Keon’s. But because the was a high second rounder, teams still were willing to give up a late rounder to see if there was anything there. So, the Bills will get a sixth or a seventh for Keon if they want to trade him in March.

Miles Davis? Some say he’s cool, but I say he really blows.

The RtP call that the Bills benefited from was really soft.

I've watched that fumble a bunch of times. He doesn't just drop it or let it go through his hands. The gunner tackles him around his arms and pulls his right arm off of the ball. That's in his defense. But what is VERY clear is that he should have called for a fair catch. Two gunners were bearing down on him behind his blockers.

Imagine how mad you would be about those kick returns if you were a Bucs fan. There would be at least 3 threads on here about it.

The Bucs punted 4 times yesterday. Now, one of them resulted in pinning the Bills deep and the resulting INT, and another of them was a Hardman fumble and a TD, but the D did force 4 punts.

Everybody watched them beat the Chiefs yesterday because the Bills weren't on at the same time, and it was the national game. But a lot of people here boycott Thursday Night Football, so they missed the Broncos' EPIC 10-7 win over the Raiders the week before, when Nix went 16-28, 150, 1TD, 2INTs. Against the Raiders. At home. The fact is that there are no teams without critical weaknesses that deserve being labeled a "beast" this year.

I have no idea what will happen, but the Texans needed a last-second FG to beat the Titans yesterday. So there is that.

It's clearer from the other view (Endzone), but watch how Josh flinches to fake a WR screen to Shakir. That froze the DL, and got Cook free. The Bills also passed some from Josh under center. Josh is not the best at playaction fake handoffs, but this was such a tendency breaker that it worked anyway. This is a first down after the Bucs scored to take the 26-21 lead.

It depends on what defenses do. If they drop back into the 2-deep shells, then run it at them. If they pack the box, like the Bucs did yesterday, throw it downfield.

You guys don't watch enough AFC North football. There is almost no chance that the Ravens beat Pittsburgh twice. They couldn't do it when they had Lamar, and the Steelers were starting a combination of Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph. They lost to them in Pittsburgh last year with Russell Wilson. The best Baltimore has been able to manage since 2020 has been a split. Lets look at the remaining schedules. Balt: Jets Bengals (Thanksgiving Night) Steelers @Bengals Pats @Packers @Steelers Pitt @Bears Bills @Ravens Dolphins @Lions @Browns Ravens That division will probably come down to a week 18 game in Pittsburgh.

Both. It's windy in the East and Great Lakes today/tonight.

You can do a line dance after every INT. You can even do a choreographed roller coaster TD celebration that took a whole week of practice to plan. But you can't hump the camo.

Williams humping the camo cost his team a point.

And they are at a disadvantage because both JAX and BUF have the tiebreaker over them so they have to finish ahead of both of those teams to make it.They're in a tough spot.
