Lines have Bills -3, Steelers -  3.5 and Jaguars - 3.5

 

Assumption that Ravens will sit starters?

 

I think the Ravens backups are probably good enough to beat the Steelers.

I don't want to be a whiner because the world has enough of those but this kind of thing bugs me.  Josh Allen was called for taunting vs Cincy for pointing at the Player he faked out as he scored...that was a 15 yard taunting penalty.  Yesterday Jaylen Warren did the same thing and gave the peace sign to him as he ran into the endzone and no penalty.   

 

It does not matter and means nothing but this kind of thing bugs me.

The simple fact is that the Dolphins roll inferior teams and look bad against good teams with competent coaching.  That does not guarantee a Bills win by any means, but in my mind the Bills are the superior team overall and have superior coaching.  The late season Dolphin swoon is a real thing.  If Allen is on his game next week, Bills win.  

Agree. These are both good teams but they have their flaws. The key is Allen. He’s the better QB and as he goes , so go the Bills. If he plays like he’s shown he can in the past, the Bills will win another AFCE crown. If he looks like he has the past couple of weeks, the Bills will be watching the playoffs from their couches.

Or has checked out.  After all the offseason BS,and stupid tweets, it's entirely possible he has.

 

I don’t buy that theory.  I’ve seen too many of his press conference and in game conversations on Mic’d up, practice video, etc.  Seems like he’s dialed in and pumping up the guys. But the vet rest recently and lack of production and snaps, you gotta figure he’s hurt more than letting on.

I have no respect for Miami whatsoever. Which is fine because I don't coach the Bills.

 

Miami are soft. They are injury plagued. They are frauds. Josh Allen owns them. ***** Miami.  

 

If Miami has something to play for, and they're playing us, the Grim Reaper may as well show up in Royal Blue carrying a folding table.

Wildly inconsistent officiating is the order of the day in the NFL, it seems.

Probably.  They have no reason to play them.  There is nothing for the Ravens to gain by winning this game.  The 1 seed is locked for them.  They may go preseason style where the starters play a few series just to keep them football acclimated but no shot they play the whole game.

I think Fangio focused the Miami D on the threat of Jackson running the ball. Make Lamar beat us through the air. The Dolphin Dline tried to contain Lamar, giving him more time to throw the ball.

 

I think the Bills need to be willing to run Allen early if Miami if they start the game coming after Josh.

They Can eliminate their arch rival in a critical game pittsburgh needs to win.

 

Pittsburgh has already beat them once this year and they had no answer in trying to cover George Pickens.  I imagine they would like to knock Pittsburgh out while they can.  I also think some of their players that are banged up will sit for sure but I do not believe Baltimore is going to punt on this game.

It bugs me even more that it was the same ref crew.  At least I think it was.  No damn consistency even with the same damn crew.

I hate this game for many reasons - 

I'm so tired of the constant pissing contest between bills and dolphins fans on Twitter 

 

I hate that our fate rests on beating the Dolphins (I don't care how many times we've beat them recently) 

 

I hate that our offense all of a sudden looks like they re hired Dorsey 

 

If we lose, it'll be very fitting for how this season has gone. 

 

We don't deserve to be in the playoffs if we can't beat the Dolphins 

 

Even if we do beat the Dolphins, my confidence in this offense lately is low. They've looked awful and don't know how far they'll get in the playoffs 

 

Sunday is my birthday and the bills could potentially ruin it

You have to weigh that vs injury risk.  Lamar gets hurt like every year.  Their RBs and defense also get hurt like every year. It aint worth it.

Thanks, I read it was the same crew from someone else.  I didn't actually look.

I had suspected that Diggs has been playing through an injury, for me this confirms it.

 

The week before he showed up on the injury report with a back injury he played 98% of the snaps and the week of the injury he played below 50% of the snaps.

 

He has progressively increased his snap count and I know this is an unpopular take, I thought he was getting a little more separation this last game.

 

Barring no setbacks he probably will get around 75% of the snaps this coming game and if the Bills win should be back to close to normal in about 3 weeks.

 

I do think he will play his best game since the injury against the Dolphins.

Injury risk is always there.  Not playing football with your most important players for two full weeks is a dicey thing.   Especially considering Jackson has been dreadful in the playoffs.
