Many of the Bills fans you see are not travelers but locals to that area of the country who are connected to buffalo.

Bellichrck ….I don’t view him as GOAT. he rode a QB. He also hasn’t had success off his coaching tree. since he hasn’t succeeded post brady with QB. I expect them to draft a QB in the draft.

Another interesting stat continues… Steelers and Rams both went 5-1 in division and made the playoffs. Since 33 teams this is > 95% chance of playoffs if 5-2 in division. the % could be higher if they didn’t start with final week division games and have div winners rest starters and lose and end up not being 5-1. only about 5 teams went 5-1 and missed playoffs since this division format started.

Its interesting to see one score games and good and bad seasons explained. over the past few seasons Vikings have bern known for many one score games. 2023 was no different going 6-8. That's 14 out of 17 games. That's not factoring in their QB rotation. Tennessee also had a bunch of one score games going 5-7. Denver 8-9 this year, had a bad season last year in one score games. This season, as with most teams, thry were near 500 going 5-4. Buffalo went 6-6. All loses were 1 score . Baltimore also had all loses in one score losses going 4-4. Dan Francisco went 1-3. Only Cincy game was a 2 score loss. They also had the fewest. Dallas went 3-2 in theirs. Pittsburgh on the other hand went 9-2 , Philadelphia went 8-4. This could signal a drop off next year. Houston went 7-3., Cleveland 6-2. on the flip side…Charges went 3-8, Saints 3-6.

I looked at one weather forecast system …thats where my sources was. others might have difference but 7 days out still is unreliable

I think Fields is decent enough/ above replacement that if he changes teams he might have better success. in my season prediction thread I had bears as a WC team. They had I think 3 two score 4 th quarter leads they lost ( lions, browns, another team) and a4th quarter tie ( saints). They win one of those games, yeasterdays bears-packers coukd have been a winner gets WC game

Potential playoff rematches next year….. eagles-rams- packers all play each other coeboys-lions-bucs-49ers pkay each other packer-49ers, lions-rams, eagles-bucs in AFC bills-ravens-Texans-chiefs play each other fins-browns chiefs play Steelers and browns fins-Texans Super Bowl bills-lions fins-packers bills/fins-49ers/Rams cowboys/eagles-Browns/ravens/steelers cowboys-texans ravens-Bucs lions/packers-texans bucs-chiefs 49ers-chiefs

Look what it’s rates are on April 7 th and 8th….$765+ taxes

Lake effect bands may push snow to the far south towns with NW winds so not much in OP. KC — partly cloudy temps around 20 at game time TB — could be a rainy game temps in 60s DAL- dome DET- dome HOU— dome

The FG would have been 53+ yards…that's not a gimmie snd thry likely talked to bass on making FGs and his distance. If he said I’m a little sore and I don’t think I can kick 50+ today affects the call.

I get the play…you make the 1st it’s kneel downs and you win. A punt might mean the ball moves 17 yards down the field. They were also up by 7. they got the ball and wanted to burn the clock.

2024 and 2025 positional Afc west at afc east 2026 divisional match up so kc at buffalo the schedule cycle runs through 2025. starting in 2026 they could switch team pairs in positional games so right now buf- Mia is a pair and kc-LAC is a pair. Switching pairs could change hime/ road pattern. In 2009 they switched team pairs in the nfc west which resulted in buffalo playing st Seattle in 2004, then in buffalo 2008 and 2012, at seattle in 2026, at buffalo in 2020, at Seattle in 2024. there also has bern some talk in changing structure like going to just one conference of 16 teams and then only conf winner gets bye and thrn teams may play more teams in conference just once a year.

It alternate 2023 placement nfc at afc 2024 afc at nfc 2025 afc at nfc 2026 nfc at afc

bills win Super Bowl…it’s likely hosting jets. I don’t see any playoff rematches occurring in that game. 49ers and Chiefs home games on 425 or national TV. Lions game rematch on Turkey day?would they move it to nbc though? I wouldn’t be surprised if Seattle and Rams games on consecutive weeks with one on Thursday night.

Monday night must be a 4 vs 5 match up because the schedule opponents is set after Sunday nights game where the MNF winner plays on Sunday. 2/7 and 3/6 winners determine 4/5 opponent. Monday night winner WILL play on Sunday the next weekend it was eagles at bucs or browns at Texans. Given abc did the Texans they probably wanted the nfc game.

Updated the playoff order but it’s based on when they exit the playoffs by weekend then sort within.

Atlanta fired coach…

Should Bills fans thank the Titans… they beat the Fins in dramatic fashion ( Levi’s QB) today beating Jags ( Tannehill qb)

The first pick…the play before was an uncalled mugging. Likely mean a TD. The second pick on 4th down not a big deal. Cook TD drop cost 7 the turnover on sack cost 3. this could have been 38-14

Interesting to see what happens in the QB market. Chicago and Arizona trade Fields and Murray respectively? Who is a QB away that might trade for them? Giants, Pats, Falcons, Broncos? who drafts a QB high in round 1 ? Bears, Pats, Commanders, Cardinals, Giants?

1 Carolina ( traded to Chicago ) 2 Washington 3 New England 4 Arizona 5 LA chargers 6 NY Giants 7 Tennessee 8 Atlanta 9 Chicago 10 NY Jets 11 Minnesota 12-13 Denver/Las Vegas ( coin flip) 14 New Orleans 15 Indianapolis 16 Seattle 17 Jacksonville 18 Cincinnati teams are sorted by worse record/ worse strength of schedule/ coin flip 19-24 Wild card losers 25-28 Division losers 29-30 Conference losers 31 Super Bowl loser 32 Super Bowl winner The playoff team order as of right now… 19 Green Bay 20 Tampa bay 21 Houston 22 LA Rams 23 Pittsburgh 24 Miami 25 Buffalo 26/27 Philadelphia / Kansas City ( coin flip if exit same weekend ) 28 Cleveland 29 Dallas 30 Detroit 31 San Francisco 32 Baltimore the above teams grouped have same record. Those picks orders rotate by draft New Orleans pick high in thst group will drop to the bottom in that group in round 2. to be determined ( traded pick) Cleveland pick —> Houston Houston pick —> Arizona

Head coach changes Panthers fired Reich Chargers fired Staley vegas fired coach— HIRED PIERCE ( had interim title) Belicheat leaving Pats ??? —HIRED MAYO Commanders fired Rivera Atlanta fired coach Vrabel out as head coach in Tenn. —HIRED Bengals OC Callahan Dallas keeps McCarthy ( short rope, first coach fired?) —- Pete Carroll in Seattle is stepping aside and being an advisor. —Tomlin is not under contract after next season. Could he step away/ take a break Alabama has a HC vacancy….the cicada flew off sfter 17 years. HIRE— Jerod Mayo hired by Patriots

I don’t recall…are you part of fire coach threads?

Colts have the tiebreaker because colts beat Texans earlier in the year. game tied colts in 1st jax tie/ win they get division.

You could go with a rotating 8 team division. you play H-H against each for 14 games with 2 byes Round 1 division winner gets a bye. Then 2-7, 3-6,4-5 play each other in round 2 of playoffs round 2 is top team and 3 survivors round 3 is quarterfinals in a bracket where 2 division teams won’t meet again until Super Bowl round 4 semifinals round 5 Super Bowl
