If Josh sweeps Mahomes and Burrow on the road to take the 1 seed, their MVP advocates will be scrambling.

He’s also the all time number one NFL playoff passing leader, further testament to the fact he gets even better when the stakes are higher.

Why not just announce after the season like many fading HOFers do. He was an incredible player in his dpoy run but since then he’s always been too attention-seeking for his level of production imo. This press release is another example.

Cinci would be number 1 seed based on head to head sweep having won both games AT HOME while Bills had to play both KC and Cinci ON THE ROAD. I could see head to head result as a valid tie breaker where the win is a road win (Bills take down KC on the road) but it should not be used where the team merely holds serve at home. Should be scored like plus/minus in hockey.

yup at some point the players demand a house cleaning of the coaching staff and possibly the front office, not that Hackett had any chance of surviving.

Watching Trevor Lawrence the last several weeks I’m more thankful than ever that old Frank Gore got that first down late in 2020 and they somehow flubbed the tanking for Trevor. That would be one scary roster with a cheap Trevor Lawrence on it for three more years.

Bengals might be the overwhelming favorite next year since they have top players in many positions who have not been paid yet including QB. There is possible fatal flaw with the Bengals, in that Burrow does not sense the pass rush all that well. Hopefully the Bills can expose that next week and force more oline spending by the Bengals. Bills will be in a hang-on mode next year with Allen costing 45 and many key players at or beyond 30 costing a lot. Odds are not great that Diggs will remain a top 5 receiver in the year he turns 30 - staying in the top 10 will be an accomplishment at that age if you go by history. Not a lot of salary cap or draft capital to shore up weaknesses or get better with. We all loved the Von signing until week 10, but wth the injury that contract is hurting…a lot.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh…he’s not on the 53.

For as “bad” as Josh played this game, his arm still forced the bears into a soft shell D in a zero degrees wind storm, setting the stage for the RBs to rush for over 200 yds, 9 yards per. If that’s his bad game I’ll take it.

Trade was worth it! Hines

Tre is good again

Early in the year when Lawrence was still jaggy I thought the football gods were looking kindly on the Jets for not tanking for Trevor. But yes, yesterday showed they should have completed the tank. Ancient Frank Gore picked up a critical first down for them to complete the non-tank.

I personally love the shift from the Diggs centered O during this 5 game winning streak. If Josh was not so locked on Diggs we win and the Jets and v Minnesota. Now other threats are being developed for the final run.

Josh takes it with a road sweep of the top three opponents in the conference and the one seed.

It’s as important as 10+ designed Allen runs in the first half v the Bengals.

I think labeling this play the most embarrassing of all time is overstating it a tad. We have all seen this last play overhand lateral sequence thousands of times (one very famous one against the bills). However, this is the first time any one of us through thousands of plays has seen the overhand lateral picked off for a TD. It was perceived as a relatively low risk move.

I think Warner is being a little too humble when he said he did not have next level ability. I see a lot of Warner in Allen. Warner was the best of his era in terms of looking deep down field every play, keeping defenses terrorized. Allen is the best of his era.

I have done the calculation and what is mind numbing is that we could have an incredible stretch run of 7-1 to finish the season, and very easily if not likely be the three seed at 13-4. We could also forfeit the next three games and very likely be the three seed.

Diggs has not gone crazy in five games and the team has won all five with only one interception during the streak. I like the way they are trying to build up a non-Diggs offense for defenses to have to game plan around. Yards went to Gabe and the running backs v the Browns, McKenzie v Detroit, backs for patriots, Knox v the dolphins. I think they made a concerted effort to use Diggs as a decoy starting with the browns and it mainly worked.

Shady was involved in a bar fight when he played with the Bills but there were no weapons.

I was shocked at out dink and dunk Burrow’s passing game was against the Bucs. It looks they have acknowledged that Burrow is not great under pressure and takes way too many sacks and hence they are trying to build a quick passing game.

He looked rather lumbering when he was at Orchard Park earlier this year. Did not even recognize him.

I liked Sanchez gushing over Josh throws that look routine to us. Means something coming from a top 10 pick QB.

I think the Bucs are on streak of botched fake punt, interception, strip sack, fumble, on four possessions. In between they botched a 4th down stop with a defensive hold.

What were the odds when the announced the seemingly uninspired hire in January 2017, having finished a losing season and 17th consecutive non-playoff season.
