And we were hearing Mac Jones was the next Brady when the Bills played him in the playoffs.

Yes. They will play them in the season finale. Anyone remember what happened in Brady's last year in the season finale against a really bad Fitzpatrick led Dolphins team?

Yeah the very thought that something like that could happen is ridiculous. It would be like a 9-3 Dolphins team a couple of years ago losing to a team like the Will Levis led Titans.

I think this issue and can happen for a variety of reasons. One criticism of Beane is that a lot of his free agent DT aquisitions have not been good. However, I saw a list of the top 10 DTs in the league (sorry...don't remember who put it out) this year and 2 Beane free agent pickups made the list: Poona Ford and Tim Settle. If they played here, like they're playing now, they would have been amazing signings.

See? I KNEW it was a good idea to drop that game to the Falcons.

Except their losses are to the Raiders (yes, the Raiders) and the Steelers when they turned the ball over 5 times. I would say they HAVE tripped up, but did it early. What they haven't done is lost toss up games against good teams (Bills and Tampa in Tampa come to mind). I've also heard how awful it is that the Bills could lose to a team like Atlanta and the Patriots beat them by 1.

Agreed. Should've clarified. I meant they would run the table in the playoff as the 7 seed. If that happens, the only way the Bills would play them before the AFC championship would be if the Bills are the 1 or the 2. If the Bills are NOT the 1 or 2...but both teams advance to the Championship, the game would be in Buffalo. Could you imagine a 6 vs 7 in the championship? If there were a year it would happen, this is it.

Didn't anyone tell him he's supposed to at least play a half before retiring and walking away from the Bills?

What I find interesting is KC is often predicted to be the 7 seed. I don't think many would be surprised if they ran the table if they are in. If that happens, unless they win the division, the Bills would host the AFC championship if they make it that far.

Am I the only one whose favorite thing is when the Bills ruin a franchise? I'm thinking comeback Oilers...Bellichick and the perfect game...and now it seems like the Steelers. I just love it.

Agreed. If Bosa gives us a team friendly deal because he loves the culture, great. But particularly these one year deals are signed by the player so they can use it to get a bigger contract the next year. That's the trap. At this age, he's great as a one year rental but would not be great on a multi-year deal. What they need to do is go out and find the NEXT Bosa...a player who is great and a free agent...but whose recent history means they sign for less and will work on a prove it deal.

How will you feel if Patriots lose tonight? Seems far fetched...but who would've thought the Broncos Commanders game would go to overtime. Also heard something about Pats having O-line injuries. Also, I think the chances of winning the division are better than they were this time of year 2 years ago.

Yeah, it's one of those things though. The defense was historically bad early in the season but has improved. Now? Just held Baltimore to 14, so may not be as dreadful as we think. Oh put Davies in. Just have him in the backfield with a guitar singing "He's a well respected man about town, doing the best things so conservatively." The defense will be so confused and entranced that the rest of the offense will run wild...like some kind of Apeman.

I think we already passed it to CJ Stroud and Jayden Daniels.

Not only how other teams struggle (I would add the Chiefs through 3 quarters), but also how good some of these "bad" teams can be. I saw much on hear about there was no way we were going to lose to lowly Houston particularly with Davis Mills. Well, the Texans are 6-2 over their last 8 and the offense has been playing better with Mills. Yes...the Bills looked bad...but the Texans are not an awful team.
