It doesn't matter who the Texans QB is with that defense.  It's that defense that wins for the Texans.  Playing them at home, in prime time makes it harder.

I agree. I’m not all that high on Stroud anyway. It certainly doesn’t offset getting the Bengals without Burrow and Chase.

Chargers @ Chiefs* I don't think KC plays the Rams this year. 

 

Yeah I saw LA and just thought Rams.

 

As far as I'm concerned Chargers are the San Diego Chargers!

I know Terry won't make a change but there is a good chance Tomlin will be available. He's never had a losing season and when he did have a legit QB (Ben) he got past Brady and Manning and won a Super Bowl. Speculation with the media here in the NYC area is the Giants will be very interested if he does leave Pittsburgh.

 

So you want another guy that should have been fired years back.  As read in a number of places, the game may have passed Tomlin by.  Even when he had Big Ben, he only won SB one time.  Excluding Allen's rookie year, McD has never had a losing season either when he had a legit QB so why would Tomlin be an upgrade? 

 

I'd keep McD forever if my only other choice was Tomlin!

Tomlin is just McD all over again. Same philosophies, same issues hiring coordinators, heck they were even teammates on the same college team.

 

If/when we move away from McD we need a major change. Either a hot shot young OC, or a more aggressively-minded coach like Vrabel.

I do think Tomlin and the Steelers part ways, and I don't see McDermott getting fired so he won't be the Bills next HC. But Tomlin will be unemployed for about 5 seconds before landing another HC job unless he wants to take a year off.

Bills are currently 4.5 point favorites going in to this game. That seems....kind of high. 

 

I look at both rosters and do not see much of a difference right now.

I believe the line opened at 6 or 5.5 so it seems the money is coming in on the Bengals if it's at 4.5

4.5 is the line going into the Patriots game from what I saw. 

 

The Bills definitely should not be favored that high. If at all

I thought you were talking about the Bengals game not the Pats game. The Bills shouldn't be favored by that much in NE and maybe shouldn't be favored at all.

It is a loooong season, interested to see what the Bills have planned to beat the Pats now it is crunch time. Should be pretty familiar with Mc Daniel's offense.

I  do agree on the first part.

 

Second part not so sure that Tomlin isn't considered damaged goods at this point.  Seems teams all want the new shiny OC innovators and Tomlin (or McD) doesn't fit that mold.  The one exception being the Raiders.

Only reason the Bills lost to NE the first time was because they came out flat and had 3 turnovers. 
 

The Bills will win that game this time. Just don’t play sloppy and it’s an easy win.

The Bills haven't had a game yet this season where they didn't play sloppy for at least a half.

[BuffaloBillyG]

After last night, the Patriots can clinch the division, in their house, by beating Buffalo. They will be there with purpose.

 

In fact, I read today that the only way the Bills can win the division, is to win out and have the Pats lose to with Miami or the Jets.

 

The pathways are getting mighty narrow.

[Buffalo716]

I'm still convinced we will beat them when it actually matters 

 

These are professionals the bills wake up for stuff like this and they are battle tested

 

  Josh Allen lives for this like he's not rolling over for anybody and he knows with a down AFC this is a good chance for him

When will we learn? Don't look ahead to any team or game. The focus is this week, and only this week.

[L Ron Burgundy]

Problem is they play hard.  We don't necessarily.   We try and play smart.  But also like ballerinas.   Smart ballerinas.   They have an extra week of prep.  Not good.  I get if we lose this one.  Hoping we see them in the playoffs.

[PauleeeWalnuts]

Can we get through the Bengals first? Burrow smoked the Ravens, and we don’t play well against them
