Not looking like a Super Bowl team so far. Soft D and a one-dimensional offense. One is bad enough, but you can't win with both.

Is there a reason they're not running the ball? I don't see a loaded box or anything. Is it Dorsey addicted to sugar again?

Do NOT throw to Davis or MacKenzie unless they're wide open.

No pass rush. One on one matchups just dancing with your partner.

Mahomes is famous for those loopty loops in the backfield and almost always gets away.
Someone compared him to a frantic squirrel trying to escape a dog.

Imagine if we had a #2 receiver?
I had the same thought. Throw to Davis = incomplete. We also don't have a slot receiver.

Yeah, I dunno. Its an abnormal situation. Im not too worried about it that its worth me arguing about it.
On a side note, I ordered two division winner hats when they became available and they mailed them 1 day apart from each other. I just got the first one today so I am going to wear it for todays game 😃
It was catchable but it was a tough catch. It was a pretty bad throw.
Looked to me like a miscommunication about the route. Beasley faked twice; if he had faked just once, the ball would have been in his hands.

I don't understand your thought here- if the league didn't "contort" itself KC would have the bye and the home field throughout the playoffs. The change to KC is now if they have to meet the Bills it will be on a neutral field.
Cincy was complaining and didn't want the "contortion" because without the change Cincy would already be the Division winner and have home field advantage.
Ok, that's the flaw of my thinking. I didn't see that KC's win percentage with the extra victory and same number of defeats would be better than the Bills' win percentage. Apologies for not thinking this through myself and thanks for explaining.

The NFL will be at our back bc of the Hamlin sympathy and storyline. If we play well, we WILL get the calls. Play well and the Bills are already Super Bowl Champs!
Unless we play the Chiefs. The league (via the owners' vote) appear to want KC in the Super Bowl. Why else would they give them a first-round bye on a silver platter as they did? As the Bengals coach pointed out, the rule for canceled games was already in place. The league contorted itself to benefit KC, throwing the Bills and Bengals a bone with the neutral-site concession. I don't understand why people aren't more upset. The bye is what is important, not the homefield advantage. The bias is unmistakable.
If I'm missing something, please enlighten me.

It's crazy that KC never gets called for Holding. I still can't get over that leg sweep that Chris Jones had on Josh late in the 4th qt without a flag because the refs had money on the Chiefs
I used to dismiss conspiracy theories out of hand, but at this point, I think it's naïve to deny the corruption. It starts with the league noticing that SB/playoff ratings are much higher with certain teams playing, or that betting is much higher with some teams. Then it's just a matter of putting a thumb on the scale whenever they can, like ignoring their own rule to pretty much ensure KC a first-round bye. As for the refs, how easy it is to find at least one per game who is willing to throw a flag or not in exchange for some quiet deposits in an offshore account or whatever?
The irony is that this kind of corruption is pretty much the only thing that can kill the golden goose. So unbelievably stupid.

Alot of good that bye week did for Tennessee last year.
Well, it obviously doesn't guarantee subsequent victories. But it does guarantee a "victory" that week AND a week of rest watching rivals exhausting and injuring each other. That's a much bigger advantage than home field; I don't understand why people disagree. Adding an 8th playoff team and eliminating the bye for everyone is the only fair solution--and it has NO downsides. (KC fans will whine, but that's a plus in my book.) If the league doesn't adopt it, I'm ready to believe it's because they really do want the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

I didn't know myself but assumed area code since it was 3 digits and I was right
I assumed the 3 referred to Damar's number and the 51 to someone else, but it belongs to a backup linebacker.

It bothers me to give the Chiefs the first seed bye despite being beaten by two teams who wouldn't be given a chance for the top seed. Solve the bye problem and I'm on board. I posted a solution: eliminate the last wild card and have all surviving teams play in the first round.

The NFL's best option is to wait until Sunday and then decide. All 3 games KC vs Raiders, Patriots vs Bills and Ravens vs Bengals will all be done by 4:25 Sunday which gives the league plenty of time before the Sunday night game to make any last minute changes to the playoffs since the matchups will have to be done by the end of the SNF game. If the Chiefs, Bills and Bengals all win, then I think playing the Bills vs Bengals game becomes a must and will happen. There is too much on the line at that point to be a no contest or a coin flip. The other thing to look at is, both the Bills and Bengals beat the Chiefs this year so rewarding the Chiefs with the one seed without playing the game is insane
But you see the problem with scheduling a makeup Bills-Bengals game, right? Either they need to play two times in a week or, if the playoffs get pushed back and they play in the off week, all playoff teams get a bye and they don't. Either way, they're punished.
Since no solution is perfectly fair to the Bills, Bengals and Chiefs, why not eliminate their relative seeding altogether? If they meet, have them play in a neutral stadium. Determine their other opponents by coin flip. No bye for anyone; eliminate the third wild card. (Sorry, Fish.) KC might squawk that they won the most games, but they lost to both the Bills and Bengals, so that doesn't fly. The league has the same number of playoff games, so they shouldn't care. Minimum disruption, maximum fairness.

right but the bills and bengals are preparing for an extra week of play while the rest of the AFC has an off week. I know they only played for less that a qtr on Monday but they still traveled and prepped all week like a normal week and now they get to do it again while everyone else is resting.
Right, but any solution is going to be unfair to someone, and this one seems mild compared to the others we've heard.
Wouldn't it be ironic if they earned the top seed after this long, long season but didn't receive what they most need, a week of rest?

It feels as if the season is over. But I don’t think it has to be.
No, but how can the Bills play again this year? Would you be able to go all out, hit someone and be hit after what happened? I may be wrong, but it seems to me something broke. Other teams will be able to play, but I don't see the Bills out there doing any more than going through the motions.
But the very opposite could happen if Hamlin recovers enough to indicate he's ok. Then I can see the Bills players and coaches channeling all these powerful emotions into the game, and nothing would stop them from winning it all for Damar.

It's amazing how little I care about the rest of the season. If the Bills turned around and said our season is over, I would not care one bit. It's gonna be really tough to watch this team play football again.
I'm affected, too, and I wonder why I feel more emotional about this event than the countless other tragedies I read about all the time. Why this one? It's not just me and us; the whole country seems to be in distress.

Assuming we get a report on Damar today or tomorrow I could see us finishing the game Thursday and then the Bills Patriots/Ravens Bengals games moved to next Thursday.
This sounds like the best solution, especially if Hamlin is upgraded to stable condition before then and looks to be out of the woods. If he's not, I don't care what happens, and I suspect most Bills players will feel the same way.

Funny how Seattle has Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen....those were the two CB’s I wanted the Bills to draft.
Could have had either of them in the second round, and Breece Hall in the First round....just sayin’
Or Pickens and Woolen.

Everything I seem to look at, the Bills appear to have at least a slight edge, so I do expect them to win. But, I also expect a great, close, hard fought game. And I am very interested to finally see how these two teams match up against each other, not on paper, but on the field. It may come down to which team makes the fewest mistakes. Or, if they both play mistake free, then who has that one or two big plays over the other team.
From all I can gather and what I know about the Bills, I would say, objectively, the Bengals are a nightmare matchup for the Bills defense. Burrow's fast release negates our strong DL, and although I trust our LBs to take away the short game, their three excellent receivers will be a problem for the Bills weakened secondary. To be blunt, I don't see how the Bills can stop them.
On offense, I admire their DC's ability to be creative and to adjust on the fly. You don't see those qualities as much as you'd expect. And I'm worried that he will expose the Bills weak line and reliance on Diggs. If I stopped there, I'd say the Bengals win this game pretty easily.
But there's an X factor: We have a Hulk. The league has never seen a player like Josh Allen. I think he will will this team to victory no matter what the Bengals throw at him.

NFL Week #18 - Patriots* @ Bills - 1st half game thread
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
And Daboll before him. Before every call, he's asking himself, "Should I throw for 18 or run for four?" And he feels validated by every big throw Allen makes and so wants it again and again. Until the sacks and punts start piling up and they fall behind and, you guessed it, HAVE to throw. If I'm McDermott, I lay the law down: Run it or get fired. Nothing else will get through.
