I'm surprisingly invested in this 2 point conversion attempt.

This board, man. It's like some people care more about being proved "right" about an argument from two years ago than actually seeing the team do well. If I were an Allen hater, I think it would be a lot more fun to just say "Boy am I glad my pre-draft analysis was wrong" and enjoy the 10-win season and playoff spot than walk around miserable all the time.

I agree the OP, but this comes with the territory of playing a winning team in their home stadium. We had our chances and didn't make the best of them. On to (hopefully) Houston.

God these game threads are maddening.

We want them to lose next week to TEN or for KC to win out.

Honestly, best case scenario for us is HOU losing today and TEN losing tomorrow. I think that locks HOU into the 4 seed and eliminates any chance of them jumping above KC.

Yes. HOU wins the division with a win today, a TEN loss to NO, or a win against TEN next week. TEN needs all three of those games to go their way.

Houston's defense is not good.

Well, I would hope that ANY passer having this kind of game would get crushed. Watson/Winston/Wilson has been terrible.

Man, Peleton really knows how to make a cringey commercial.

The NFL needs to burn the tape of this game.

This game is confirming that Houston is the team we want to draw. I've never seen a team look so bad while winning by a TD.

Quality run defense on display there.

Does Winston think he plays for Houston or something?

One of the announcers just said, and I quote, "You never want to start a game with a pick six." That's some high-level analysis there.

I want the Bills to draw Houston, but I live within driving distance of KC and would definitely go to a playoff game at Arrowhead.

I'm too busy enjoying our double-digit wins and upcoming playoff run to worry about what some dork on television thinks. If he likes Jamies Winston, that's great. I sincerely hope he enjoys rooting for Tampa Bay.

Well if we get to that point, it's either Baltimore or New England. Belichick is a master at torturing young QBs, coming up with things you haven't seen before, and taking moral liberties with sportsmanship. Also, there's New England playoff officiating. I'd rather have Baltimore. At least we know what we're getting and can prepare accordingly.

Is anybody really saying this? It's true that our roster doesn't have a lot of star power, but it has no weak links and is solid top-to-bottom with pretty good depth.

I was not excited about this hire at all, because honestly why would I have been? This franchise has had a revolving door of mediocre-to-bad coaches since Levy or maybe Wade Phillips. But McDermott has been great. It's easy to quibble with some of his gameday decisions, but the bottom line is that in all three seasons it feels like our team finishes with a record that's about two wins better than what the roster would indicate. We had no business making the playoffs in 2017 and I still don't fully understand how last year's team scraped together six wins. This year, we methodically beat everybody we were supposed to beat with no slip ups, won our share of tough games, and have a playoff berth clinched with two weeks left to go. He and Beane very clearly have this team turned around are doing it right.

Honestly this seems about right to me. The Bills are a good team, but they don't have a lot of high-end star power. They're mostly above-average across the board with no real weak links. You'd kind of expect this team to have a disproportionate number of wins vs. Pro Bowl selections.

What if the Bills were down 16-0? I wonder if Allen could bring us back from that sort of deficit.

Same here -- I'm on board with whatever this FO does.

This. Is. Awesome.

It would depend on the outcome of the other WC game. We go to BAL if the 3rd seed wins. We go to NE* if the 6th seed wins. *This assumes that NE remains the #2 seed, which probably won't happen after we beat them on Saturday.
