Sammy Watkins' Rib

New thread name is still confusing. It says “Josh in a boot after Panthers game” Did Josh leave two consecutive games in a boot?

Only if it causes them to not get the number one seed in my opinion. But it looks like even with him missing that game they’ll still get the number one seed. So I don’t see it coming into play.

My question would be is there more standing in the upper decks when the defenses are on the field and on third down particularly? I would think sitting with the offense is on the field is fine and actually beneficial and preferred. Would make for a quieter stadium. But when the defense is on the field I think it would be awkward trying to be loud while sitting. But I suppose maybe being loud up in the 300 level really isn’t going to reach the field anyways. So maybe it doesn’t matter up there. We were in section 109 for the Halloween game against Miami and I’d say we stood about 90% of the time. I felt that was OK because it gave us just enough time to rest our legs.

I get your negativity but at the same time I think it is foolish and premature to read too much into the losses and assume the Bills cannot compete. They've competed all season with the exception of one game against the Colts. Five one score games and they are 0-5. It's not ideal but it's also just really bad luck IMO. Hell, they could have gone 2-3 in those five games which is still a losing record and that would have put them as the #1 seed in the conference currently. So how bad are they actually compared to the rest of the AFC? Yeah it sucks they are 0-5 but half glass full mentality tells me they are bound to start winning some of those close games. And at worst, they are in fact competitive in all these games so it doesn't make much sense to write them off.

Not sure. but I thought all players were tested weekly and the unvaccinated were tested more often.

I thought the NFL is supposed to stop testing vaccinated players? Let’s hope Allen and most of our key players are vaccinated.

The tiebreak situation could get really weird. Bills beat the patriots and Miami wins out then Miami is seeded higher than the patriots no matter what else happens in the AFC. it gets weird because Miami could be in a situation at 10-7 where they are the 7th seed on conference record, SOV and common game tiebreakers. New England may have much better tie breakers over Miami in all those categories but they would all be thrown out because the division tie breaker would be used first to eliminate New England.

That would work but if the Titans lose two and the Colts win out the Colts take the division. That scenario it’s fairly likely as I agree the Titans likely lose to the 49ers this week. And I could see them losing to Miami. Houston is unlikely but they did lose to them a few weeks ago so who knows.

Only way the patriots get knocked out of the playoffs as if Miami does in fact win out. It could happen but odds are against it. Patriots have a very strong conference record so even if they lose to the bills and the dolphins and drop to seven losses on the year they should win all tiebreakers. The only tiebreaker they would lose would be against Miami because of the division sweep. But if Miami drops a game to the Saints or Titans that would be a non-factor. Would love to see this happen though for sure. The number two seed looks very unlikely. That’ll go either to the Titans or the Colts. Both own tiebreakers over the bills. I don’t see the Colts losing another game. So they may end up with the number two seed if the Titans end up dropping the next two games.

Allen would have to finish the last three games 3-0 and with 12 total TD's to have a chance to win it. Even then I could see it going to Taylor, Rodgers or Brady. I would probably have those three as the favorites to win it in that order. Allen would be fourth. But finishing with 47 total TD's and winning the division could be enough. Anytime in the next three games would be a great time for Allen to put up his first 6 TD game but the next game would be the best time. For rushing TD's and yards simply don't mean as much as passing TD's and yards. I don't agree with it but it's just the reality of the situation.

That would make for a dirty left hand. I missed the first half so I didn't see this play. Kind of reminds me of the Bills final play against the Patriots. That DB made a great play leaving Beasley to help on Davis. If Allen could have held the DB covering Beasley just for another fraction of a second the ball would have gotten to Davis. Not sure if Davis catches it but it would have at least gotten to him and he would have had a chance at it.

it’s the key to running a billion dollar business.

Josh has Josh to score on the ground.

Harbaugh decides to go for two against Aaron Rodgers with 40 seconds left and it only would have been a 1 point game? That is idiotic. oh well. Helps the Bills.

we don’t look like a different team. We just haven’t pulled out close games. Which is really just an anomaly. It would also be an anomaly if we were 5-0 in all the one score games. Eventually the Bills will regress to the mean which is a positive in our case because it would mean more wins.

Oh okay. That makes sense.

Is that illegal? I really don't follow this stuff. Didn't look that dirty. He just gave him a shove with his forearms and gloves. Maybe looked worst because Gore fell through the ropes.

our lines on both sides were dominated. How we have lost most our games this year

New England’s run defense stiffens up 3 plays too late now.

Have the Bills run a QB sneak since the Titans game? I can’t recall one. Kind of dumb if so. Need to run a few to get the good mojo back.

It was 4th and goal from the 8 or 10? Those are some pretty bad odds to get a TD. That’s a tough spot to be in. And if you don’t get it they are not backed all the way up to the goal line

Seems like Barkley is made of glass . And when he is on the field he is a JAG. what has Barkley done even when heathy? Nothing. He is a JAG. And his injury history in the NFL is concerning.

No I mean Stafford. Lol. Is there another GOAT?

Blocked punt for a TD. There goes my teaser this week! Loving it though so far.

Eh, I’m kind of terrified of the Colts if they make it in. I do like our chances though if we can make it in but just between the few that are guaranteed to be in now I could see it being the Cheifs.
