Freddie's Dead

Congratulations again to Week 16's winner @Pine Barrens Mafia! This week, the Bills host the Cheats at Highmark. It's yet another WWII game for the Bills, as a win will keep them on track for the 2nd seed and an AFC East Division Championship (GO RAVENS, SQUISH THE FISH!!!!). I expect the Bills to come out strong at home, get ahead early and cruise to a relatively easy victory. Cheats - 13 Beews - 34 P.S. Last week, we were called out in another thread as a bunch of people who don't watch football, with typically 40-point winning margins. While this is clearly incorrect, feel free to post any 56-0 predictions, as we still owe these cheatin' pricks payback for running it up on us during the drought. Happy New Year!!! Past Winners Week 1 - @JaCrispy Week 2 - @Gary Marangi Week 3 - @Nelius Week 4 - @SoonerBillsFan Week 5 - @BeavercreekBillsFan Week 6 - @BuffaloBillies Week 7 - @mead107 Week 8 - @Gregg and @kkim0904 Week 9 - @BuffaloBillyG Week 10 - @Governor Week 11 - @Over 29 years of fanhood Week 12 - @frostbitmic Week 14 - @Gregg (two-time winner!) Week 15 - @Drew21PA Week 16 - @Pine Barrens Mafia

Yes, but they won't. Von has no business playing now. He's clearly still recovering from the injury. You don't come back from an ACL in less than a year. No idea why the Bills rushed him back.

The Charlie Murphy True Stories with Rick James are arguably the funniest sketches ever done on Chappelle. RIP Rick James, RIP Charlie Murphy.

F with the coin flip, suspension. Beat up (allegedly) your pregnant baby momma? Nothing to see here....

Buy - "I'm Rick" James Cook ",BIATCH!". Stock took a hit last week after fumbling caused a big selloff. Fundamentals remain solid, so this is a STRONG buy. Sell - Deonte "S"Harty. I recommend selling your whole position in this stock. It's a total dog, with bad fundamentals, and management with no clue how to turn it around. Take your lumps now, you'll thank me later. Hold - Khalil "Tupac" Shakir. Solid performer, consistent dividend, shows tremendous upside potential. A good stock to have in your portfolio.

Agreed, this season has been pretty rank.

Fahoo fores, dahoo fores, welcome playoffs come this way....

This is AWESOME!!! Ravens beat the Fish, we can win out to own the 2nd seed, and two home playoff games!!!

Great Angry Run by White. You want syrup with that pancake?

The Rrrrrayduhs!!!!!

Who's Donte Harty?

As the curator of the Predict the Score thread, the vast majority of the picks are not for 40-point Bills victories. The Chargers thread was unusual in that about 98% of the picks were for the Bills, and by comfortable margins. Most weeks it runs about 70-30 Bills, depending on the opposition, with margins usually within two scores. This week, I felt that the team had found a winning formula against Dallas, and would continue to build off that. Instead, the defense that held Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and co. to nearly no points, allowed Hockey and the Jets to control the ball and score 22. The offense that had rolled one of the best defenses in the NFL the previous week, allowed the Joey Bosa-less Chargers D to push them around for 4 quarters. Football is a week-to-week game, but I fully expected the Bills to take control of this one early and cruise to an easy victory against a team that was inferior in all phases. Oops. As far as to whether we watch football, I assure you we do. We saw the Chargers destroyed the previous week while the Bills rolled one of the best teams in football. We expected the Bills to roll one of the worst teams in football, but it didn't happen. To denigrate those of us who picked the Bills to win big in the Predict the Score thread is a cheap shot. I will never understand posters who seem to delight in putting down their fellow TBDers. It makes this board less fun.

Massive hold by the Fish at the point of attack. ***** you ref. *****.

Lamb gets painted, no call. ***** you ref.

Rooting for the Cowboys. I feel so dirty.

C'mon man, line up Bodork with Hopkins holding. It would be worth it for the laughs.

Many people would call that "forward progress", but not against the Bills. Shawn Nelson redux.

Congratulations to all who picked the Bills, well done! With the final score Bills 24, WVs 22, the winners are: Gold - @Pine Barrens Mafia, 24-21, for a total difference of -2 points (3 points deducted for getting the Bills score exactly). Silver (Tie) - @BuffaloBillyG, 27-23, and @Airseven 27-23, for a total difference of 4 points. Bronze - @Dr. K, 27-20, for a total difference of 5 points. See you all next week!

Anchorman reference to Sahn Diahgo, from the original German.

Sorry, I missed TB43, his sack was also huge.

I need a pacemaker....

Josh and Stef get their automatic game balls, Cook's automatic game ball is revoked. Tyler Bass "o-Matic" - Won the game with the most pressure kick of the season. Gabe "Welcome Back" Davis - The first TD was huge to break the goose egg. Ed Oliver - The sack at the end was huge, and secured the victory. WHO YA GOT?

Looks like Cook is in the doghouse again. For a guy that hasn't played in over a year.

As long as the third one is Josh Allen student body right.
