I think really what people are trying to say here is that it's going to come down to our offense not turning the ball over, and our defense stopping the run.

FWIW, Watt is officially OUT for Sunday.

Just remember the Bills lost to dog ***** quarterbacks before. They are capable of losing again to a lousy quarterback.
Seriously. It's like everyone has forgotten that we lost to freaking Zach Wilson and Mac Jones this year.

McD was trying to win the game until he wasn’t.
The goal in mind was to run out the clock(for whatever reason) and seal the game. Ok, that obviously failed miserably. We did not accomplish that at all.
I listed the pays for everyone. Watch it again if you need to. McD starts out pretty gutsy. Omg, we’re doing it!
McD then closes his eyes and rolls up in a fetal position on the last set of plays.
Turns the ball over.
Then puts ALL of the pressure on the defense with a ton of time on the clock against a quick strike offense with a HOF WR.
What are you talking about? If Allen gets that first down on the final 4th and 1, the Bills would have run out the entire final 5:30 (or whatever it was) of clock, which would have been super impressive to me. He was that close to doing it.

on paper and what it looks like:
AFC:
Baltimore
Buffalo
Cleveland
Miami
KC
Houston
Pittsburgh
Jacksonville
NFC:
SF
Detroit
Dallas
Rams
Tampa
Phili
GB
In reality:
Cleveland
Buffalo
Baltimore
KC
the rest do not matter.
Cleveland is going to go hard against Baltimore and not on that, potentially beat them. That matchup reminds me of KC/Buffalo beating each other up beyond repair for the AFCC. Buffalo can beat Flacco, though.
KC is a seasoned playoff team.
Jacksonville?-

I'm with you on Cleveland, though a lot of folks on here will disagree.
I'm pushing for KC to beat Miami on Saturday, not just because I want a piece of KC at home in Buffalo, but also because that means Cleveland (assuming they win) will face Baltimore.

"This year is nothing like 2021. The schedule is much harder this year. No way they win out and make the playoffs this time."

I’m sure this has been asked and answered so forgive me, but now it’s:
Lose and we play Miami again next week.
Win and we host Pittsburgh.
Is that 100% now? Thanks
Yes...unless we tie tonight.

The latest is that Waddle has made significant progress as of today.
Also, Morse has an illness and is now questionable for Sunday.
smh…

But will he be available all the way at pick #32?

Just now, QB Bills said:
It's one of his few weaknesses for sure. But to be fair, guys like Murray and Cook have dropped easy dump off passes all season so I could see Allen's hesitation in throwing them.
Well, as long as we're being fair, just about everybody has been dropping passes this year, so it's hard to imagine him having great trust in anyone at this point.

Keep an extra guy in to block.
Give Josh time to carve up their bad secondary.
Then let Cook sneak out of the backfield for a few shots downfield
Josh missed Cook wide open on the sideline last week. Josh has hit that pass twice before one for a TD and one a dropped TD.
On the very first 3rd down play against the Chargers, Josh missed a wide open Murray out of the backfield, instead trying to cram it into a blanketed receiver, incomplete, punt.
Those dump off plays to wide open RBs are there, Josh just isn't seeing them or taking them, for whatever reason.

Based on the data, the DPI only happens very rarely,
KC is the beneficiary of DPI 6 times this year and only 3 times last year (last in league). Just to extend the data further back, in 2020 KC was called for DPI 17 times (#3) and beneficiary 4 times (T30) for a net of -13, while in 2021 KC was called for DPI 13 times (#3) and beneficiary 6 times (T27) for a net of -7.
Nice work. I'd also be interested to include defensive holding calls in there as well, since the two penalties basically only differ on whether the ball was in the air at the time of contact.

Aaron Rodgers (jokingly?) mentioned on MCAfee that if you look at the color schemes of the last 3 Super Bowls the Super Bowl logo colors match the colors of the teams that play in the game.
This year's are purple and red (Ravens/49ers?).
Of course, it's not exact, and you have to stretch a bit but hey! I know he was being sarcastic about people who say the NFL is scripted and said SB 59 better be Jet green and something else.
...and it's mostly purple, suggesting the Ravens will win...

Such an incredibly sad story. What a great thing for us and our favorite football club to have had such a great, strong female figure as a public leader. With any luck, she'll become that again, but chances don't seem great.

If all Kincaid got were "easy" catches without much YAC that kept getting us first downs, I'd be pretty happy.
Anything above that is gravy.

What I want to know is what happened to getting Cook the ball in the passing game. Our best offensive games since Brady took over was when Cook was getting the ball in the air. The last 2 games? Nothing.....nadda. They need to start utilizing him again. I know they tried to hit him on a wheel this week, and I actually think it was there if Josh had waited an extra beat to throw it, but I'm talking about the swings that were leveraging his speed to the sidelines, the play action fake then throw to him over the middle, etc. All of that seems to have disappeared in the last couple weeks. I think this would help drag some attention away from Diggs and maybe allow us to get him involved more. There is a lot more to say about Diggs and his "usage" but I don't want to get sidetracked here. But getting Cook back involved, especially against slower LBs, should be a priority.
Been wondering this as well. Hard to believe that Cook has all but disappeared from the passing game, even for simple dump offs.

Here's another thought to ponder, regardless your stance on McD....this team may never have a better chance to get to/win a superbowl in the coming years when you consider how wide open things are right now especially in the AFC as a whole.
Yes the Ravens look like a prohibitive favorite right now, but we've seen how different Lamar looks in the playoffs...after all even McD and a lot of this current roster already beat him there, albeit at home.
Chiefs defense is elite and more than good enough to carry them right now but you'll never see Mahomes and that offense look like this again. Veach will fix that in a major way in the offseason. And at least the Bills get them in Buffalo finally should that materialize later this month.
Other than those 2 teams I don't see anyone else that could possibly be in the way especially since I'm not a believer in the Browns/Flacco either despite beating up on some bad teams as of late.
The anxiety and tension among the Bills fanbase is going to be at an all time high leading up to Sunday Night, and will only grow exponentially should this team get into the playoffs again....to say it's now or never is an understatement.
There is still a possible scenario where the Bills get in as #6 and the Chiefs are #3...

I was thinking this as well. If conditions are really bad, there's an advantage to having Josh as a frequent running option as it puts more pressure on the defense.
