While I admit some coaches like “bounty mentality” Belicheat may not be one to endorse it. 
 

but then again the goon Gronk did lay a bad hit on Tre.  
 

IMO You play Josh as normal. Sometimes playing safe turns out the wrong way. 

 

And let's not forget Woolfork taking out JP's knee.

Big news.

 

Bills clinch the #2 Seed next week with the following..

 

PIT Loss (vs IND)

TEN Loss (vs GB)

BUF Win (vs NE) 

 

We will know they results of the Steelers and Titans games before we go to bed on Sunday! 

 

Looking at Sunday's games I would say the odds are in the Bills favor when they play Monday night. GB is still trying to lock down the #1 seed and playing at Lambeau is a tough place to play. GB should win. The Steelers are struggling but it will still be a tough game for the Colts. I would say this is a toss up but the Colts winning would not shock me. I wouldn't even call it an upset at this point.

Lines this morning are GB -3.5, PIT -2.5, and BUF -7.  I think the chances of clinching the #2 seed this weekend are probably 50/50.  I think the Stillers are in a free-fall and Indy feels like the favorite.  Buffalo should win.  The game that is the most “iffy” is GB-TEN.  Could absolutely see TEN winning that one.

I will take my chances with Rodgers and company at Lambeau anytime especially a really strong GB team like this one.

Bills played the toughest schedule, lost to the Chiefs missing one of their key defensive pieces [MIlano] and Tremaine was also not 100%.  Titans game was an aberration  -- NFL disrupted schedules and rewarded the team that didn't follow the protocol.

Yes, but if it's cold and nasty, Henry is a granite bowling ball.

The Titans game started with Andre Roberts tipping a good pass by Josh into the hands of a Titans defender.

 

Andre is now WR6 or WR7 on the depth chart and won’t see the field besides returns.  The Titans will notice the difference if we play them.

TEN winning at GB makes no difference as long as Bills win, Colts beat Pitt and Browns beat Jets.

 

That’s  because Steelers play Browns in Wk 17 so one of those teams finish 12-4.  Bills win any 3 or 4 team tiebreaker at 12-4.

Going to be interesting to see how far we have come since the first game, I think Josh has made huge strides since that first game....  we were without Hyde. Milano got hurt early and Edmonds was hurt but played, and I think Wallace was banged up and Norman was out...  and pretty sure we lost John Brown during the game as well.  

 

   I mean Miami beat them...    don't beat ourselves its a win.

Except there's several scenarios where the Ravens wouldn't be the 7 seed.

 

If the Steelers win this weekend and the Bills win out the Colts are the 7.... or if the Jets some how beat the Browns this weekend the Ravens won't be the 7 seed(assuming they win out) 

That's true and we need to reevaluate going into the week, but if that ends up being the scenario, Baltimore needs to be out.

Hell freaking no. They are peaking and on a roll; the last thing you want to do is mess with that rhythm and momentum. 

 

We rested starters in Jets game last year, it makes sense this is a long season.   

But obviously this game means something to our playoff situation so we care about the W here.

Would be nice to get a huge lead and be able to rotate young players in 2nd half.

I like his take.  The NE Defense deliberately play light boxes to encourage other teams to run and to maximize their number of pass defenders.  They know they can't win a shoot out, so slow the game down, keep the score close, and keep the other offense predictable in down and distance.

 

If Daboll schemes up a way to throw on them and makes Cam chase the game, this could get real ugly. Gilmore's out, so this could be another "throw to Diggs until they stop it or don't, then throw to Beasly" sorta game.

Also the D is 4th in TO's(first in 4th quarter TO's) and 12th in sacks.... For where the D was at midseason, for them to get to middle of the road in the rankings at this point, shows that they have been playing like the top tier unit we remember.

Edelman may return for this game.

 

I kind of hope he does!  We've got to exorcise our 2 decades of demons, Edelman is certainly on that list

And if Smoke is healthy, the long ball is there as well.  Do the Pats have the DB's to guard Diggs, Beasly, Brown, Davis?...

Yea I'd agree. If Bills lock up the 2 seed this week give the Dolphins the game in week 17(or at least do everything possible to by benching the starters) so the Ravens don't get in. 

 

If the that happens I will watch Inside the NFL just to listen to Ray Lewis whine and complain about the Bills. He is as bad with Ravens as Irvin is discussing the Cowboys.

Winning the division, watching the Pats get eliminated from the playoffs, being favored to sweep them and give them their 1st losing record in decades - it's everything I thought it would be & more.

 

Weird to say in 2020 - but life is good.

Why didn't you get me a ticket?

 

Apologies. It was one of those group limo things where your limo driver also grills all the tailgating food going from Rochester to Orchard Park and I was tagging along with friends.

 

SO much booze consumed just on that 90 minute trip.

For the playoffs I hope they go with blue over white. I realize the Bills don't have a home uniform combo anymore since Kim ( I assume its her) wants them to have 5 different uniform combinations , but historically blue over white is the home look. That should be worn for all playoff home games. No all blue or all reds.
