Of those nine scenarios, zero of them would result in the Bills making the playoffs

 

Dilly dilly? 

Well we either need Baltimore to lose (Everyone chose Baltimore) or we need LA and TENN to lose (Everyone picked LA). So yes, because of 2 unanimous decisions (kiss of death?) none of them let us in.

Dolphins OC Clyde Christensen said former OL coach and friend Chris Foerster is "doing well" and "working on his life" after resigning earlier this season. A video surfaced on social media of Foerster snorting a powdery white substance. He left the team soon after.

No matter what happens Sunday, this was a nice bonus for Bills fans, the fact that on New Years’ Eve, there’s a meaningful game that the Bills are involved in. For those of us who forecast four or five wins for Sean McDermott’s first team, it is certainly a surprise that the Bills could finish with nine wins for just the second time in the playoff drought, the others being 2004 and 2014. If the Bills beat Miami, but things around the league don’t go Buffalo’s way, there will be obvious disappointment in the immediate aftermath, but there should also be hope that the Bills are on their way back to respectability and relevance, two attributes that have been sadly lacking with this franchise for far too long. As for this game, one thing Bills fans should not do is get overconfident. After all, they are the Bills. My sense is that the Dolphins won’t play well and Buffalo will win, but it’s certainly possible that Adam Gase’s guys, who have had a disappointing season on the heels of making the playoffs in his first year as coach, could rise up and ruin the day for all of western New York. The Bills need to be sharp, and take care of their own business. MY PICK: Bills 24, Dolphins 20.

It hasn’t happened all too often in Bills team history that a single player has led the team in rushing and receptions in the same season. But this season LeSean McCoy looks like he’s going to become just the fifth players in team annals to lead the team in both rushing yards and receptions in a single season.
 
McCoy has been the team’s top pass catcher almost all season, and that combined with his typical rushing exploits will make him the first Bills player since Fred Jackson in 2014 to lead in both categories. Charles Clay is 14 receptions behind him so there’s virtually no chance of anyone catching up to McCoy.
 
Bills, Leading Team in Rush Yards & Receptions – All-Time
Player Year Rush Yds Receptions
Keith Lincoln 1967 601 41
Joe Cribbs 1983 1,131 57
Greg Bell 1985 883 58
Fred Jackson 2014 525 66
LeSean McCoy 2017 1,128 57

Please..somebody tell me Miller is finally going to start over the weakest link (Ducasse).

Why?  Anyone who has been watching Ducasse over the past couple months sees that he has played well.  Much better than Miller that is for sure.  Hell, even PFF has him graded as slightly above average for the year

I haven't missed a down all year and usually watch a second time to key in on the trenches..just watching live doesn't serve justice.In my mind,he doesn't belong on a NFL roster.We will draft a G in the draft..it's a must...just like drafting a lb to replace a horrible Alexander is.

Prediction: Bills over Dolphins
- To me, the question isn’t about the Bills going down to Miami to win this game. I think they are going to be so fired up and completely focused on handling their business that they won’t let the moment get to them. That’s just the feeling I get from this team in talking with them day in and day out. This is a Dolphins team that they should beat, and as long as they don’t let Kenyan Drake dominate the game, they should be able to go into Hard Rock Stadium and leave with a victory — perhaps even in an impressive fashion, too. The question, though, is about whether or not they’ll get the help they need to put an end to the playoff drought that everyone that follows the team knows about, talks about, and discusses basically anytime this team is brought up. In that regard, I don’t know if I like their odds. The Baltimore Ravens have a 5-2 record at home, and their opponents — Cincinnati — is 2-5 on the road. And if they don’t get that game to go in their favor, it seems like an awfully tough challenge to get both the Tennessee Titans and the Los Angeles Chargers to lose a game that means everything to them at home. Between the hours of 4:25 and 8:00 pm, Bills fans are going to experience something they haven’t in a long, long time — the gripping pains of scoreboard watching in the final week of the season, with three likely-to-be-close games. However, I don’t think they’ll have to worry about the Bills being up for this game. They know the stakes, and I think we’re going to see a big effort from them on Sunday.

Prisco would pick the Browns to win if we were playing them. He hates Buffalo.

He's the only CBS "Expert" to pick Miami.
