I've watched them a few times. 

 

If they had an average schedule, we'd be leading the division right now.  They're very good & improved, but not the team that they're being hyped as.  People are saying that the only losses they can see are against us & the Ravens. They're just not that kind of team yet. They could lose to just about anyone left on their schedule.

 

 

Guess we will find out over the next 6 weeks. They are 9-2 against mostly the same schedule they have left. You expect them to lose half those games. Doesn't make sense.

Statistically it makes absolutely perfect sense.

How so? They have gone 9-2 over 11 weeks but are going to go 3-3 over 6?

 

this also assuming the Bills win out or maybe lose one not to the Pats.

You have obviously not objectively watched them play. They may not be "that superbowl team" yet. They are a team that shows up every week and is capable of beating a soft schedule. Im not saying they wont lose but you are underrating what they are compared to their schedule.

They easily could have lost to the Jets this past week if the Jets had an average NFL QB. And the Jets might be the worst team in the league. Jets were within 1 score in the 4th quarter.

[Buffalo Ballin]

Bills win. Chiefs lose.

 

That's money, baby.

There should be some sort of regression to the mean. Of course there's a chance it won't happen, but it should happen.

 

Also, the universe seeks balance. Or something like that.

And? I never claimed they were some dominant team.

Regression to what subjective mean? 

[Big Turk]

Allen already has 28 TDs on the season. Only needs 12 more in 7 games to hit 40 again for the 6th year in a row to extend his record...

 

During his regular season career, he averages 2.41 TDs per game so if he simply hits that over the next 7 games he will end up with 17, giving him 45 for the year...

Because football gets tougher in December typically and they simply are not that good as of yet...

 

Maye is really good but I think he starts taking a little bit.

how do you know they aren’t that good yet? What evidence is there? Maye isn’t Tua, he has a strong arm. They also have a decent run game and decent defense.

Im happy but concerned which IMO is a rational take after what we saw today on D

 

There's nothing wrong with being concerned after a win but the word used was "miserable" and I agree there's something wrong with a person being miserable after a win.

The issue with Josh, at least for me, was how wild the swings were today. The huge splash plays were great. But it still didn’t seem like he was in any sort of rhythm. 

 

Yes and to your point, the 2 point conversion pass he emailed over Reggie Gilliam's head happened with 9 minutes left in the game.

 

It was a bizarrely great performance by Josh but one that I think a lot of people are having a hard time processing.

Watched them hash it out on the sideline (maybe after the next drive?)...which was mostly Dion up in Edwards' face and Edwards at first pushing a palm into Dion's shoulder to keep distance, repeatedly at first until Spencer Brown or someone else seemingly convincing Edwards to drop the hand and just let Dion vent it out. Was not nothing. 

 

I didn't hear anything bad and definitely didn't hear anything "thug" ish. Let's just retire that word. He wasn't groveling for media or fan forgiveness, for sure, but he was trying to give matter of fact answers that didn't deny his culpability. 

 

Everybody eats?? **ducks for cover

 

I don't have a problem with friction in the locker room.

 

Like I've been saying, you have (or should have) a room full of alphas... and a team without the occasional heated disagreement is a losing team.

Nobody should be held accountable for things they post in the game thread. I made some stupid comments about Josh today, but I was responding in the moment. I think those threads should be locked and hidden after the game is over.

 

If people are embarrassed or ashamed of anything they post in the game threads, they shouldn't post in the first place, IMO. About 5% of what's posted in those threads has any value... the rest is honestly pathetic which is why I stopped participating and reading them. It's like listening to WGR and having a lobotomy at the same time.

We should go all in on trading for Justin Jefferson next offseason. He obviously does not mesh at all with McCarthy and he’s definitely getting frustrated. 

 

McCarthy is being given a multi-week audition. If he fails, the Vikes are still gonna want to have Jefferson around to help develop their next QB prospect.

Look, he's been a disappointment this season. But "get this *****in clown outta the building"? For that interview? Where was the faux pas?

 

It was hard to hear but it sounded to me like Coleman was being patient, mature, and thoughtful in his replies. If the replies weren't satisfactory to some people it could be due to age and cultural differences... but the hatred he's getting is really disappointing to me.

I think they’re probably losing the bills and ravens games and will just hold onto the afc east but will lose their first playoff game if I had to guess 

 

if the bengals weeks were flipped and they got the likely game with burrow instead of us I think we’d have a good chance at stealing the division back

Yeah I don’t think they go far in playoffs. Division game at best. I guess it depends on who they play.

Also people here tell me that time is a flat circle.

Perhaps the Patriots will show that they're legit... I have no idea.

 

But until they actually win in December and in the playoffs, I'll remain skeptical.

Pats are obviously good. I just think buffalo has a higher ceiling 

[jayg]

Didn't notice it live but the Superfreak song after the Shavers touchdown was nice touch.

I think the pass he air mailed over gilliam's head was just that 

 

It's routine layup that Josh probably makes 98 or 99 times out of 100... Curry misses foul shots occasionally 

 

I never really watched the replay but I think it was all arm I don't think his feet mechanically were in the best spot for the throw... And that can make it sail

Obviously this is grain of salt type stuff for sure but a lot of the advanced metric type places have them at pretty much average.  DVOA they’re 17th, ELO they’re 14th,FPI they’re 14th.

 

im gonna take a look at the success rate of teams rated that low in those metrics late in the season out of curiosity but I think they’ll likely be the lowest rated 1 or 2 seed in recent history should they end up there..   Last year the top 6 teams by DVOA were Baltimore,philly,Detroit,gb,Buffalo,kc as an example so this stuff isn’t usually way off 

[Nihilarian]

Ten buffalo receivers targeted and nine caught passes, it was Hardman who missed his one target. Shavers tore it up 4 catches for 90 yards and Shakir one reception for -3.  Hardman made up for it with his return one KO return for 61 yards.

Looks like Chase might be suspended for THEIR game now, too.

 

The stars are really aligning for the Pats this season.

Let's see what happens when they met the Bills again in December and we will find out.
