I didn’t realize AVP had gotten so big. Sheesh. I got whiplash.

Kind of the opposite of the Mario Williams thread, I was hoping we would keep this one under 10 pages with the 2 seed locked up and all.

This is the best option.
We would have an offensive HC and need not worry about different OC's every season. Plus, the organization is familiar with him.
My big (and only) kick back is that while Brady seems to be a blooming OC and play caller, being the HC/CEO is a totally different job that requires a totally different skill set. I’m not confident hes been around long enough to develop a leadership skill set strong enough to be in charge of 50+ elite athletes, another 50+ support staff, and a billionaire boss.
For every Kyle Shanahan or Sean McVay there are dozens of Wade Philips, Leslie Fraziers, etc.

The Bengals looked average at best tonight. They are not the scary team that everyone is making them out to be.
I don’t think they’re particularly scary. I think they’re a very bad match up on a hot streak.-

I’ll scream it from the rooftops.
I DON’T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WOTH THE BENGALS.
We have done a poor job against that squad on a few occasions when that roster was much colder than it is now.
My next least favorite team is Baltimore. It’s not that they’re so good, just that both seem to be bad matchups for us right now.
After that I don’t really care.

I thought there was a 30/70 chance that Hyde was called up this week. Not super high but a reasonable maybe.
If they wanted him to coach they could just have him coach. One or two banged up players and he’s dressing. I’d like to see him get game speed reps in the event of an emergency.

AFC will have both Saturday matchups and early sunday
NFC will have later Sunday games and Monday
that’s why 2-3 AFC playoff teams are playing now today and Sunday night game is 2 of the NFC playoff teams.
My guess is:
Ravens and Bills games will be Saturday (sexier matchup will be the night game)
AFC 4vs5 will be Sunday 1pm
My quick $0.02Denver is all but guaranteed to be Sunday at 1pm.
Bengals will get a primetime showing. Any of the 8pm games
Dolphins could fall anywhere. I’d be a little surprised at an 8pm for that matching up. But either 4pm (Saturday/Sunday) or 1pm Sunday is where I’d put my money.
I definitely wouldn’t put my mortgage on Buffalo getting a Saturday game (regardless of opponent).

Dalvin has been tweeting about James getting paid a lot. Hopefully we don't have a hold out coming this offseason.
I haven’t followed it on Twitter but thaw tweet you linked seems to imply that there’s an extension already in the works and they’re waiting to ink the deal.-

Interesting what the pro bowl has become.
I think the Bills with 5 players total in the top 10, Josh the highest
rated at 4... <--- #4 if you can believe that.
Also interesting is no james cook and cole bishop showing up on special teams.

By my eye Mack Hollins is our best ST player by a giant margin. I get it, nobody pays attention to gunners across the league. But at the same time Hollins has been amazing in kick coverage for us and not getting any votes is a criminal. -
Jason Peters is a first ballot HOF LT. No idea how he isn’t on anybodies list.
Andre and Moulds were both better receivers than Stef. Shocked he’s on here twice.
No hate on Smerlas or Kyle, but Ted Washington deserves some love here.

I’m a very regular Reddit user. But when it comes to both football and hockey I’ve found Reddit to be the absolute worst place to discuss the Bills and Sabres.
Easily the worst takes by the most stubborn posters who clearly aren’t watching many if any games outside of their own teams, nor or they actually curious about anything at all.
Worth noting that the general hockey and NFL subreddits are better than the Bills and Sabres subs.
EDIT: To the OP. Paragraphs are your friend on message boards.

I think anything below 3 I tend to start to disagree with. 4 is a grey area. 5 would be waaaay too low IMO.
Power rankings are imperfect, is it a review? a look forward? record? all encompassing? trending?
Buffalo and Philly should be 1 and 2 at this point. Doesn't matter what order. Detroit can still live in the top 3 based on what they have done. But with injuries do you move them out? I don't put KC there. They just have not been good despite winning games.
I think Minnesota, KC, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and GB are a hodgepodge. I could flip flop them around depending on what I am looking at.-

If it's a legitimate high ankle sprain, it's going to be even worse on Wed. It takes a good week or two for it to loosen up
100%, playing on it twice in 4 days is crazy. I don't know how you don't sit him vs Houston.
If he had a full week between games I think he likely plays through it and I feel a bit less strongly about the whole thing.-

Their only chance is the one seed imo. Buffalo and other teams in the AFC are most likely not going to be shredded by injury
KC completely lucked out running into a super injured weak Miami team and injured bills team. Baltimore then thought they randomly had Dan Fouts at QB and their oc lost his mind....
Do you rest guys now and concede the one seed to buffalo? Idk
Or do you risk going for the one seed. Idk
Tough spot
I don't disagree, which to me makes me lean further into sitting Mahomes against Houston. You might beat Houston, who has nothing to play for, with Andy Reid and Wentz, but you will want your first ballot HoF QB ready for Pittsburgh and Denver. KC can drop one game but they can't drop 2.
KC can win all three if they go Wentz, Mahomes, Mahomes. I think they can drop 2 if they go Mahomes, (4 day, high ankle sprain) Mahomes, hobbled Mahomes. Give him 10 days rest then shoot him up to close out the next two before he gets another 14 days off.-

Agreed. I expect him to play. I think Reid needs to play the long game. Getting beat up by both Houston and Pittsburgh in 5 days wouldn't be great for them. I think they drop one of those games with Mahomes.
Baring any injuries vs Baltimore I think Pittsburgh has a great chance of beating KC at Heinz even with a 100% healthy Mahomes. Not a lock, but I would call them a close favorite.
Mahomes with a high ankle sprain on 4 days rest against TJ Watt in a hostile environment? I am sure KC isn't afraid of Pittsburgh, but I would worry about seriously hobbling Mahomes in the lead up to the playoffs.

Kansas is still a betting underdog, so it seems that Vegas knows he is not playing.

He does this phony injury crap every year.
It is stupid to play him this week. He has 6 days this week, which is likely fine, but the week after is a short week. He has 4 days. It will be tough to play on a high ankle sprain twice in 4 days without making it worse.
That is the kind of decision that could hobble Mahomes for their playoff run. He can likely manage every week. The extra 3 days are huge. Nearly double the recovery time.
If this were Allen I would be furious if we marched him out there. You are basically putting the Super Bowl at risk.-

He was 4 from 4 for 36 against Elam. Which isn't nothing, but it wasn't where he ate. He ate by Ben Johnson getting him matched up on linebackers - primarily Bernard who he destroyed.
He is actually decent in the dime role. That is the common denominator. When he was struggling early in the year he was playing nickel and then this week he was playing safety. I think when he is out there as a regular piece of the D teams can work out how the Bills are using him and then find a matchup they like against him. That's much harder when he is playing just in spots as a dime. And he has made some plays in that role.
I still think it is special teams that is giving him the nod in nickel. A bit of a reward for buying into the process. Which I don't hate at a high level.
But, when Taron was went down last week, Ingram was the call up and I thought played well in his limited snaps at the end of the game. Better than Taron did against Puka (via eye test).
In general there have been so many weird usages of players over the years. Constantly marching Lewis out there is one of them. I think Elam flashes in his limited snaps (not dressing him is insane to me). Amari Cooper at 45% this week seems wild. The unwillingness to put Dorian Williams back out there. I certainly trust the staff, overall they have been really good, but it seems so strange sometimes.-

Worked by who?LaPorta and St. Brown put up 304 yards between the 2 of them. He was mostly matched up with Tim Patrick and Williams
If anyone got worked it was Taron, no?
Cam Lewis was brutal…again.
I get it UB guy, work ethic, special teams, improved, process guy etc. but he is one of if not my least favorite player to see on the field for the defense. He gets targeted and abused constantly.
He was terrible to start the season, had a couple of games where he was decent and now he sucks again.

I'm sure Mahomes hurt his ankle. And I'm sure it's painful.
But we've seen this over exaggeration drama from him before... getting carried off the field by teammates, and then "miraculously" finding a way to play.
My guess is that he's questionable all week. But I will be shocked if he doesn't start on Sunday.
I generally agree, but they have a short week this week (Saturday/Houston) and follow it up with another short week (Wednesday/@Pittsburgh). If I am the Chiefs I am maybe more concerned with him playing injured twice in 4 days then I am with seedings and wins and losses.
Not even speaking as a Bills fan fighting for the 1 seed, I would rather give Mahomes 10 days rest. If he had a full week between games I would be much less bothered.-

He has been above average since he made that 61 yarder. The offense has been scoring a ton and he's been good on a lot of XP attempts and he got a 50 yarder for us.
I think part of it was that broken ankle that happened right before, but that's also part of being a kicker. So not a great excuse. But still a talking point.
If he hadn't missed the short one I might have let him have a go at that 66 yarder. But Bass missing two kicks in row, even though one was a bit of a hail mary, wasn't something I wouldn't want to risk. (plus field position.
EDIT: For reference he is 23/24 on XP and 9/11 since that FG vs Miami

Also, is this the week 18 game? That is still TBD.
I was just talking about this in bed last night with my GF. Week 18 Bills at Pats is maybe the most meaningless game on the calendar, it is likely to get flexed because it has absolutely zero implications.
The league will likely want Browns/Ravens, Chargers/Raiders, Bengals/Steelers, KC/Broncos, 49ers/Cardinals, and Seahawks/LAR on at the same time. A lot of moving parts for seedings and the wild card in there. -

But this is why the mvp is kinda a bs award in the first place. I argued Lamar deserved it last year because they killed teams so he didn’t have to stat pad. They also gave Gus Edwards like 15 one yard td runs. It’s why I said Allen would win MVP this year even if he had worse numbers because he would get more credit because they didn’t have Diggs anymore.
the Ravens defense is kinda bad this year. The Bengals have a terrible defense. It’s not Burrow’s fault they are losing and he’s playing qb as well as anyone.
I know it makes for good discussion and Bills fans really want Allen to get it (and he will). But it’s a pretty subjective award.
IMO It is partially because of Derrick Henry. He is a sure fire hall of famer who will end the season as his second best rushing season of his career. Sorta a similar reason why its tough to call Jalen Hurts the MVP when Saquan is the best player on the team right now.
I don't disagree with you. Lamar is having a killer year. Better than Allen'? I don't know. But I think part of it is a correction on last years MVP, part of it is Derrick Henry taking some shine, and part of it is the idea that Josh Allen is due.-

I had Bruce as 1 until about the middle of the season. The positional value of QB is too great. Bruce was ridiculous but for me, it’s Allen.
I agree here and I’m in the same timeline.
Josh is officially crossing the line from “awesome in his era” to even without a SB is a first ballot HoF player.
While Bruce is almost universally considered a top 5 pass rusher ever, and Allen isn’t a top 5 QB ever (yet) the positional importance at least gets him close if not above Bruce.
One Thing: Keon looked terrible yesterday

He was meh yesterday. I got called into work yesterday so didn't watch as closely as I normally would. But y big take away was that he wasn't put in great situations to succeed.
I certainly would have like him to hall one or two of those in. There was one pass on I believe a crosser I wish he would have pulled in. But other than that the rest were basically hail mary balls. But I was also impressed he was able to bring in that sideline ball he had no business catching. But Mitch pushed it too far out of bounds.
