Sammy Watkins' Rib

Problem is Lamar was undeserving last year. I do think he is deserving this year just as Allen is as well. But last year was a joke. If the Bills come out holding their best stuff back again I don’t see Allen having a good enough game to put Lamar out of reach. But I do think a handful of voters have already decided Allen is the MVP regardless of these final games do to Allen and the Bills having the two biggest wins of the regular season and better seeding the Ravens. We will have to hope those tow facts hold a lot of water come the end of the season voting.

I disagree strongly that Shakir’s production falls without Josh. I actually like think it is the opposite. Shakir is the kind of WR that probably actually has more production with lesser QB’s in systems more friendly to his style of play. I’d let Cook walk. Probably pay Rousseau.

man I wish Filthy Beast would come back. That poster was always good for laughs.

This is BS strategy in my opinion. you can’t have the coaching staff telling the players we are holding back on play calling strategy and expect the players to be locked in and playing at their highest level. then I guess we hope they flip a switch in the wild card round? Just hope it’s not Cincinnati coming to Orchard Park. Even if it is not Cincinnati, we’re looking at playing a team that’s been playing for their playoff lives for several weeks versus the bills who have been sleepwalking for three straight games. let’s let tomorrow’s game pass before we make that declaration. The Steelers need to win even more than the Chiefs and the games in Pittsburgh. then week 18 is likely a win or go home game for the Broncos hosting the Chiefs.

The Colts are a bad team. They are not winning three in a row no matter how easy their schedule is.

The chest pass to Knox was not a high degree of difficulty in itself. Many of us could probably make that pass. But what makes it so difficult / unique is doing that in actual live action on the run with a rush. That one also had some pretty good air distance travel too it as well. All the chest passes i have seen typically tend to be very short in air yards. Passes like that have only been seen a handful of times across the league. Josh's reaction after throwing the pass was also one of one. Just a shame it will be forgotten.

But all the advanced efficiency metrics favor Allen. Allen has a higher QBR and EPA. So it isn't even really true that Lamar has been the more efficient player. One of the other arguments you hear is that Lamar would have more rushing TD's if he didn't have Henry on his team. That is also false. For one, look at Lamar's entire career. He has never been a high volume rushing TD QB. Why would this year with or without Henry be any different? Second, James cook has the same amount of rushing TD's as Henry, they both have 13. So if the argument is Henry has stolen some rushing TD's from Lamar, why is the same not true for Allen?

Josh is going to blow away his QB career rushing TD record which is probably the only thing Cam has left to hold onto. Hurts will blow by it as well if his career doesn't flame out early like Cam's did.

Lebron is more a unicorn than Jordan was in terms of size and gifts and that is why McGrady compares Allen to Lebron. As others have said, no slight in being compared to Lebron. If Jordan is the best NBA player of all time, Lebron is #2 on most lists. Also remember, the careers of Carter and McGrady overlapped more with Lebron's career than with MJ's.

Bengals just need to beat the Browns this week and Broncos next week at home for it all to come down to the final week. Seems likely.

Bengals are getting the 7 seed. You can see it coming from a mile away. They will beat the Broncos at home next week which will guarantee meaningful week 18 games for the 7th seed . Chiefs will beat the Broncos and Bengals find a way to beat the Steelers. Colts win out. Their schedule is easy but Colts are not a good team so it will be difficult for them to take full advantage of an easy schedule. They lost both games to the Ravens by a combined 4 points.

Herbert is big, strong, has a rocket arm and good straight line speed. What he lacks is agility and vision. Those last two traits are perhaps the most underrated traits Allen has.

this play was so ridiculously good. Probably would’ve been Allen’s greatest highlight reel play of all time. But now it will mostly be forgotten forever.

Last year was bonkers in the AFC. Going into the weekend the Bills were anywhere from division champs and the two seed or out of the playoffs all together. Totally opposite this year. Bills clinch division with 5 games to go and the AFC playoff field could all be decided with two games to go with just the seeding to be sorted out.

Not having a dome only hurts Allen’s MVP chances but it actually helps the Bills ability to win most games.

Makes sense. Allen was harassed almost endlessly in the two game losing streak against the Ravens and Texans. Both those games would be entirely different if we played those teams again.

He'll finish his career with over 100 rushing TD's most likely which is absurd.

Just another Sunday.

He's still a really, really good coach in a lot of aspects. Let's not forget he broke the drought in his first year with a pretty poor roster. He's seemingly never had a bad secondary his entire career here. Always getting the maximum out of the players in the secondary. That said, he very well could be coaching for his job this postseason for other obvious reasons. But I would be surprised if he didn't land another head coaching job right away.

That was such a bizarre call. I guess when you are 12-1 and for now hold the tiebreaker over the Eagles for the one seed you have some leeway.

Okay.

I would not bank on a flag being thrown in that situation unless it is very, very obvious.

A lot of love for Brady but it is hard for me to forgive his blunder before the half when we had 3rd and goal from the 1. It's like the opposite of the week before when we maybe should not have run two consecutive tush push plays. Makes no sense. Last week from same distance we ran two push tush plays and got a TD. That's exactly what we needed at the end of the second half with time not being a factor but we didn't do it because...? I think we made the same mistake earlier in the year too and didn't come away with the TD. Until the NFL outlaws the tush push play, anytime you have 3rd and goal from the 1 the only plays calls should be consecutive tush push plays.

I do love all our RB's. Not only can they all run the ball well, they are even better receiving threats. It really opens everything up for Allen. Because when we come out in heavy personnel with a back or even two backs were are still very much capable of going down field through the air.

He didn't return to the game though. Their back up had to finish the game. Converted a huge 4th down too I think.
