Mullens apparently no rocket scientist

No, I suspect the real Jake Browning is going to show himself today or soon enough. Joe Burrow is one of the top QBs in the game, as evidenced by his actual resume.

Is that what the NYT playoff predictor indicates? Curious how much our playoff odds increase if Detroit wins versus the Jets. Last I knew, we have an equal chance of getting in the playoffs as a wild card v division winner. Of Miami’s remaining games, Jets is the easiest. For Denver, Detroit is the hardest. Hence my thought that if we want to get ahead of Denver, they really need to lose today. On the hand, there’s a couple other chances of Miami losing beyond tomorrow.

Was looking at today’s matchups. Agree w you about Steelers being a mess, like the Colts in that one. Everyone saying Bengals have been hot, although I think Browning’s going to have a tough go of it against his ex-team and a tough Minnesota D. Mullens coming in for Min should be an upgrade, relative to Dobbs. Think Cincy getting beat is one of our better chances for help, this weekend. We will see…

Totally would be. Some friends and I will be at the game. Their “fans” would be ready to puke.

When the books want the Bills to lose, makes me nervous. ”The Buffalo Bills were consensus 2-point favorites over the visiting Cowboys in the weekend's marquee game. FanDuel reported Thursday that the Cowboys-Bills game was setting up to the one most popular with bettors of the season. "We are in another unusual position where a Cowboys cover would actually be a big win for the book, as an ever-growing liability continues to come in on the Bills," a FanDuel representative said in a company release. Sportsbook PointsBet also has reported a surge of betting interest on the Bills to win the Super Bowl. Since Nov. 27, the Bills had attracted more bets and more money in PointsBet's odds to win the Super Bowl than any other team.”

I’d be a little surprised if Hill doesn’t play this weekend, all things considered, but if there were a game for the Dolphins to let him heal, this would be it. Agree that to win the division or take the #1 seed, they need to beat both the Ravens and us. If they lose to the Jets, the Ravens still have to beat the Jags and 49ers too, so the Dolphins would have a chance to still catch them.

We can win our next three games, and they can lose their next three games. As long as they beat us, they will win the division. If playing Hill this week jeopardizes his chance of playing against us or in the playoffs, they might be smarter to let him heal up.

If IR’d, my understanding is he’d have to miss four games, but then could return, even if that’s not until playoffs. If put on IR and Bills don’t make playoffs, then very well could be it for him on the field with the Bills.

Agree, want at least that. Would really like if we’ve at least clinched a playoff berth, but those chances are probably very low if impossible.

Dolphins could literally take the next three games off, and still win the division by just beating us. Crazy every time I consider that. We just gotta keep winning at this point.

In order to synch up with the TBD laugh emoji, I actually had my dentist remove all of my teeth and shaved my head.

Chiefs are currently 3-1 in their division, Broncos 2-2. If they end up tied, it’s very unlikely the Chiefs will have lost to both Raiders and Chargers.

Please put the Dolphins’ 70 to shame tonight.

Yep, half of our chance is the divisional element. If we win this week, I expect our odds to take a very nice jump.

I’ll be surprised if he’s not fired by tomorrow morning.

So ESPN has the Raiders at 99.2% chance of winning. Meanwhile, Dolphins were at 99.7% against the Titans the other night, and still lost. To put Miami’s loss into further perspective.

If I’m following your spreadsheet, starting sample is top 50 punters by total yards? So he’d be “7th” for inside 20 percentage, compared against that cohort?

Let me break down my question for you - What is your source for that being top 10 all time? Link?

OP - You mentioned being sick as well. Do you have a relation to the Cowboys somehow?

Where are you getting that? He’s 18th in the league around that percentage, this season alone. So are the other 17 punters ahead of him punting at a top 10 all time level this year too?

Yep, of the non-Bills games, that’s the most important for us, in my opinion.

Aside from Bills winning, if at least four of those other things happen, we should be pleased.

Hate when weather is a factor, although I suspect it will help us more given we’re more accustomed and I think we have a better running attack than Dallas.

Sorry, I was looking ahead to next season on this question. I think you gotta play things out with the guys you have at this point, including Rapp. Next year is where their secondary needs an overhaul, in my opinion.
