I wonder if the Bills have 12 wins.....will McD rest the critical guys like the Jets game last year.  If you want a run in the playoffs, best to heal those who can benefit as well as protect key guys (Like Allen and Diggs)  So, depending on seeding.......normally (not 2020), I would be rooting for best record so we would get max home games for the Bills Mafia.  But, in this season where the stadiums are really TV studios', a home game has less advantage imho.  So, resting the troops seems logical to me.

Homefield still has  the advantage of being home and not needing to travel. In the playoffs. The ability to rest is huge.

Man i hope Smoke comes back fully healthy this week and stays healthy for the rest of the season with him on the field JA and the offense could be even more unstoppable !! 

 

John Brown is such a big component to what this team needs on offense, with him out there the offense becomes super dynamic. I wouldn't mind seeing him come back against the Pats if he needs more time give it to him.

Feels like we're playing top 10 defenses every week how is that even mathematically possible in a 16 game season lol

Every time we receive a punt that gets downed inside the 5 yard line, I tell my son "That's okay -- it'll just be that much more impressive when we go 99 yards for a touchdown."  He rolls his eyes at that joke because I've driven it into the ground during his 22 years on this earth.  

 

Honestly, though, I kind of feel that way about our schedule this year.  Last year was a fun stroll through the tulip patch, but this year is a lot more impressive.

Been playing some heavy hitters and showing up. Here's a bit from Mike sando's weekly roundup on "The Athletic"

 

The Bills have a really good record against highly ranked defenses.

 

With the Bills facing the Steelers, I went through their games during Allen’s nearly three seasons as the starter to see how they’ve fared against top defenses in general. Each defense from 2018, 2019 and 2020 was ranked No. 1 through No. 32 in EPA per game, with games against Buffalo excluded from the calculations to avoid biasing the rankings.

The Allen-led Bills are 7-3 against top-five defenses over the past three seasons, including 4-0 this season after beating the Los Angeles Rams (No. 1), Steelers (No. 2), Miami Dolphins (No. 4) and San Francisco 49ers (No. 5). Allen had 14 touchdown passes with two interceptions and four total turnovers in those games. He averaged 8.9 yards per pass attempt, 0.39 EPA per attempt and 335 yards per game against those teams, with a 121.8 passer rating. After neither offense accomplished much in the first half Sunday, Allen completed 14 of 20 passes for 162 yards and two touchdowns to close out the Steelers, twice converting on longer than third-and-10.

I'm typically very cautious with any Bills-related optimism, HOWEVER...

I find it hard to believe that the Bills are going to lose to a Broncos team missing its top four cornerbacks and quarterbacked by the very up-and-down Drew Lock.

It's hard to look at the matchups -- Bills defense vs Broncos offense, Bills offense vs Broncos defense, McDermott vs Fangio -- and not think that they all favor Buffalo.

I know, I know...any given Sunday. But the Bills players know that a win on Saturday wins them the AFC East, and as such, they are going to be supremely motivated. They don't seem like the type to take any opponent lightly. The Bills are simply a better team than the Broncos in every facet, and I think they win handily.
