Mayo playing to win! He's probably going to win and then get fired tomorrow. -

Was so happy to see White was active today. Really want him to play and play well. He is the 2nd best QB on this team. -

Was thinking the same thing. But I don't think so. That's what a contract is for. I guess there may be a way to amend it, but I'm not sure. Just glad he got it fast and can sit down. We need that guy to find the fountain of youth for the next 5-6 weeks. -

May the young guys show well and everyone come out healthy! GO BILLS! -
I think that whenever someone mentions a team trying to lose on purpose, they are talking about the organization as a whole......specifically the front office. No player is going to play this game trying to lose. Why would players, especially at the bottom of the roster whose position these new high draft picks are going to be coming for, want to lose on purpose? No....it is the responsibility of the GM to make sure the game day roster is put in the best position to achieve the vision of the organization with the guys that are playing actively trying to win. The interesting part in their case is the coaching staff. If they are on thin ice and know they aren't likely to come back, they may be super aggressive and do everything they can to win. However, in some cases if a staff knows they are safe, they may toe the company line and punt from the offensive 35 on 4th and a foot. They could be a wild card tomorrow. But yeah....the players that are playing are definitely going to do everything they can to win. The front office can make decisions going into the game that make that much more difficult.

Power rankings mean nothing at this point. It's all about what happens in the Playoffs. As Bills fans with Josh Allen at QB, this is how it should be until we win a Super Bowl. Doesn't matter if people think we are the best team in Week 3 or Week 18 heading into the Playoffs. It's making sure we win the last game before the offseason that matters. Sure, the season is fun and all, but until we get this monkey off our back and win one, I will never pay attention to power rankings. Do I think we can win the Super Bowl this season? Yes, but it will take an absolutely perfect run and our best football because there are more talented teams. But I will forever believe we have the best QB on the planet and that he can overcome some of that lack of talent. But, it's going to take every player on offense, and especially defense, to play their best football in the postseason. It will also take the head coach and his staff finally making the correct decisions in crucial moments to win as well.

If Mike White plays, he is going to show better that Trubisky has in his limited action and there will be calls for him to be the backup. No doubt in my mind that I would rather have White backing up Allen than Trubisky. He didn't win when we played him and Milano almost broke him in half, but he earned my respect that day.

12/29/24 GAMEDAY Week 17 Bills vs Jets Post Game Thread
sven233 replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Happens all the time. When I was younger, I had a pretty good arm. Not college or pro level by any means, but I could toss the ball about 60 yards. It literally took a running start and everything I had to get the ball out that far. I watch Allen, and I just can't figure out how he does what he does. I mean, there are so many times, during just about every game, that Allen will uncork a ball that goes 40-50 yards in the air and it looks like he just flicks his wrist to do it. It's so effortless and not only does the ball travel that far, but it does so on a freaking line. And even on the short ones, the ball just screams out of his hand and gets out there so fast. I know pro QBs all have superior arm talent in some way shape or form. You don't get to the NFL without it. But you watch these other QBs throw an out and then you watch Allen throw an out and it is just different. I will never get tired of watching our guy throw a football. Crazy stuff. -

I haven't watched the All 22 yet, but I thought watching Milano yesterday that he got better as the game went along and it was noticeable. I thought early in the game he was playing pretty much how he has been since coming back.....a little slow to process and a step slow to react. However, I thought as the game went along yesterday, he seemed to be better. Looked like he was firing a little quicker and was out of place much less. Again, I haven't watched the film yet to confirm this assessment, but I came away encouraged by the end of the game. Now, is that just because the Jets phoned it in when the game got out of hand? Maybe. I hope not, though. -

And that's kharma..... Do the unselfish thing and give Cook the TD and then make a highlight play to cap Allen's season...... And I feel great for Coleman there. Hopefully that gives him some confidence heading into the Playoffs. -

For all we know, Allen deferred to Cook there. That is something Allen has done in the past and will do again. It's why players love him. He could have easily called his own number and he didn't. Class act. -

Such an unselfish play by Allen. Congrats to Cook as well. -

One of Von's best reps of the year. He's been solid this season, but we are going to need a lot more of that in the Playoffs. -

Milano still looks like he's hesitating and playing a step slow. I love the player, but Williams might be the better option to start come the Playoffs. -

12-0 and it feels like it should be 24-0. Just not finishing on offense and while the defense is pitching a shutout, it's not like they have been dominant. A couple of key turnovers have us still in control on the scoreboard, but it's not like the Jets haven't moved the ball. Have a lot to get better at in the second half. Now, I do want to say that you can tell we don't have our full playbook in. They are definitely holding things back for the Playoffs. There is not much jet or orbit motions, no designed QB runs, etc. Obviously, I agree with doing this as our only objective in this game should be to win it and stay healthy. I realize there are a lot of people out there that think we should have just gone all out these last couple weeks and let Allen continue to pile up stats for his MVP case, but at what cost do you want to do that? Look, I want Allen to win the MVP as much as anyone, but we can't help the way the schedule fell and what we are/aren't playing for and how much we have to press to win these last few games. As soon as the one seed vanished, so did our need to keep the pedal on the floor on offense. THe offense will look much different come the Playoffs. Go back and watch the Lions game just to see how much different this offense was in that game. They were going all out in that game and everything was on the table. Compare that to what our offense is calling now and it is basically a shell of what we will be running in a couple weeks. -

Allen not getting much help. Big plays all day getting negated by penalties (legit or not) and drops like that. Someone has to step up and make a play. This game should basically be over by now. -

Yup.... And when a team finally figures out all they have to do is run it consistently and pass on occasion, and the turnovers dry up, they have no answers. THis defense will be our downfall in the Playoffs once again. -

Big Phil out there like "Screw that, I ain't running nowhere"! HA! Great play by Groot and Phillips to finish it off. -
I don't know..... If I'm the Jets and know that I am out of the race, I am not playing anyone that is remotely banged up or at risk for re-injury or perhaps making a current injury worse. I mean, there is literally nothing to gain for them by winning this game. Why risk some of your better players if you don't have to? This would be the perfect chance to get a look at some younger guys or players that have kind of been buried on the depth chart get a look. I mean, they have little chance of winning regardless, but as an organization, winning this game only hurts your draft position at this point. To me, when you have no shot at the Playoffs, you have to make every decision with the bigger picture in mind, not just a specific game. But, that's just me. They can do what they want.

I wish Coleman wasn't so easy to find on this list......unless he was much higher and on the other side of the chart. Ugh..... He is who he is. Can't separate consistently, but can make the contested catches on occasion. He's a fun guy to have around, but just as I felt about him in the draft, my mind hasn't changed. I don't think he will ever be a WR1. Still going to need that guy. Honestly, I wish he could be our 4th guy. WR1, WR2, Shakir (Slot), Coleman, Hollins, Samuel (eventually replaced). But, with the investment made in him, we better hope he becomes at least a serviceable WR2 which I think would be his ceiling. I just wish Beane would realize our best chance to win big is putting explosive weapons around Allen and not just count on Allen to elevate everyone else's play.
-
Yeah.....Samuel and Hamlin aren't playing for sure. But I wouldn't mind seeing what it looks like with Rapp and Bishop starting if there is a chance of it.
