nice faith. I went from believing the Dallas and ravens were our only shot, to believing the dolphins could realistically lose out and not make playoffs at all. Tbf they have some bad injuries that I never count on. 3 on their line including the center and Hill was out like half the game. 
 

That was an epic collapse after being gifted 21 points. Maybe they should practice more football and less td celebrations. Their heads got too big. I hate Dolphins fans with a passion so I’m laughing my ass off today. 

 

I honestly stopped watching once the Dolphins went up by 2 scores thinking it was over. Over 2 hours after the game I just found out they lost.

 

Crazy.

 

But even when I stopped watching, I was pretty confident that Miami team would still find a way to lose 2 more. The Titans just handed the game to them up to that point.

 

Insanity.

 

Buffalo has this set up for them to make their run.

That’s the kind of loss that lingers … particularly the way that they were carrying on with the celebrations in the end zone when TDs were being “handed” to them …

 

You tell me they don’t win again this year I’ll believe it … however … I have very limited confidence in the Bills as well..

 

Will probably still go down to the last 2 mins of a week 18

I have a bit more confidence in the Bills than you do. Dallas is going to be tough I think but I think we get into a playoff like roll the rest of the way. This team is figuring it out.

I understand. We looked like crap for a long time this year. I gained confidence since Brady took over and our offense got back on track. Even in a Philly loss our O was great. I always believed if our O plays like that, that we can beat anybody.

I am certainly not predicting it, but the Jets seem to relish the role of spoiler at the moment. Zach Wilson is coming off of a good game. 

How awesome would Miami losing to NYJ be? 

If Miami loses to the Jets, that would initiate another late season free fall for Miami. If they fall to the Titans, Jets, Cowboys, Ravens, and Bills, they could miss the playoffs entirely

Are you guys (and a bunch of others) okay???

 

Do you need medication to recover from your shock?

 

Have we learned yet that it's not advisable to pencil in wins for teams across the NFL?

:lol: I was just going to find this post this morning and say my plate of crow is absolutely delicious. You were right my friend, and I was wrong. This makes me even more happy. An early Christmas present from the Titans. This opens the door to winning the division even at 10-7.

In some ways Miami are a bit like the Bills. If you let them they can bludgeon you. But if you can play keep away and drag them into a tight ball game they can find a way to give it to you. 

Miami was up 14 with 5 min left in the fourth, just scoring after a Tenn TO.

 

that was just a total fraudulent collapse imo

On WFAN this morning Boomer and Gio were talking about the AFC playoff picture. Both said watch out for Buffalo now. They said the best AFC playoff picture would be to replace the Steelers and Colts with the Bills and Broncos. They also mentioned the playoffs would be more exciting with Josh Allen playing in them as he is one of the most popular players in the league that fans enjoy watching play. No surprises from them but still it's nice to hear.

The following scenarios have the final game of the year being for the division:

 

Bills go 3-0, Dolphins go 0-3 (Bills 10-6, Dolphins 9-7)

Bills go 3-0, Dolphins go 1-2 (Bills 10-6, Dolphins 10-6)

Bills go 3-0, Dolphins go 2-1 (Bills 10-6, Dolphins 11-5)

 

Bills go 2-1, Dolphins go 0-3 (Bills 9-7, Dolphins 9-7)

Bills go 2-1, Dolphins go 1-2 (Bills 9-7, Dolphins 10-6)

 

Bills go 1-2, Dolphins go 0-3 (Bills 8-8, Dolphins 9-7)

So out of the 16 possible ways the next 3 games can go (ignoring ties), 6 would have the final game of the year being for the division. If you remove the possibility of the Dolphins going 3-0 and the Bills going 0-3 (which I think is pretty reasonable considering their schedules) 6 out of 9 possible scenarios involve the final game of the year being for the division. The only cases where it wouldn't would be:

Bills go 2-1, Dolphins go 2-1
Bills go 1-2, Dolphins go 1-2
Bills go 1-2, Dolphins go 2-1

It seems more likely than not to me that the final game of the year will be for the division (which I'm sure is what they envisioned when they crafted the schedule that way).

Football is a game of emotion and momentum. I’m always interested in what the teams will know at game time each week. This weekend will be interesting. There are three Saturday games, ALL of which have an impact on the Bills postseason chances, and they’ll obviously know the outcome of all three prior to taking the field late on Sunday.

Penalties are part of the game.  KC blew it Sunday.  Honestly Toney should have been called for illegal pick as well as he barreled into the defender that was going to cover Kelce like 10 yards downfield. Thats why Kelce was so open to begin with. The right guard was also too far off the line.  These guys just get away with ***** all the time.  Thats 3 things in that play.  Penalties are penalties.  The D also stopped them from gaining another yard on 3 straight downs.  KC only needed maybe 5 yards to try a fg.  They lost their cool and kept trying to pick up the 15 yards for a first down with deep plays.

One thing that is great about the NFL, is that there really is no tanking, and last night proved that.  Both the Giants and the Titans are pretty much done for the year but they both came out and beat teams that were fighting for their playoff lives.  If tanking exists, it’s at the front office level…players and coaches don’t tank.

Very true. The other thing that always amazes me is how the players interact with each other after the game. The idiotic fans can be getting in fist fights in the stands but the players all gather together to take pictures with their buddies and congratulate the opponent….except for Mahomes of course. 😉
