If the Bills lose to a 41 year old QB on a bum knee they have no shot in the playoffs, or deserve the 2 seed. Take care of business and get a bye week. Meanwhile KC has a 2-week bye. And the Ravens will be gassed having to play week 18 to win their division. Relax Bills fan we got this.
Nobody sane would want to see another parade in KC. Those guys can wait another year. Round my parts I hear Vikings, Lions or Bills. Teams with loyal fan bases that have been around longer than the Baltimore Browns.
Hot takes only. I know there’s a pretty good Reddit thread pricing Elam ~ Douglas if not better when targeted in 2024, but TBD is bought dem hawt takes. We want hawt takes and hawt wings.
Allen doing it without a Hall of Fame: offensive coach (Reid), WR (Tyreek), TE (Kelce), C (Humphrey), DT (Jones), CB (McDuffie), K (Butker), is quite impressive.
One way to counter larger offensive personnel is playing larger defensive personnel. Milano in the mix at 4-3 LB, or even playing a 46 Defense or 50 front now is the time to strategize.
I want Milano to play LB in a base 4-3 defense vs a heavy personnel front we will likely encounter vs a team in the playoffs. Now is the time to experiment and try to dominate.
This is a great point. Playing in garbage conditions one week, in a dome the next shows how versatile this team is. Luckily for us some of our best offensive outputs have come in domes which is where the Super Bowl is played.
Bills defense is doing a heckuva job outside of 3rd and long. Recall we’ve learned not to give 10 yards of cushion in 20mph winds since Burrow and Chase lit us up with a ton of stop routes.
Carter, Hamlin, Rapp, Douglas and Milano should get plenty of work Sunday. Knock off the rust and get back to feasting. No reason our best defenders shouldn’t be on the field when the 2 seed and 2 weeks off are on the line.
With the high winds and inability to complete a pass beyond 10 yards at times in Buffalo I’m not sure we could have used this guy. He’s fast no doubt, but zone coverage mitigates his speed.
I watch other teams MLB and they hit harder. Bernard covers way more ground than most MLBs, but he’s on the smaller side. Nevertheless, more plays will come. I suspect in the playoffs he will make impact plays in every game - like we see from KC LBs.
I don’t read through these threads. Lots of hot takes. My thoughts are centered around winning. We’ve won with him at better clip than we’ve won without him.
Broncos beat the Chiefs backups next week. And we get them in 2 weeks. That said, lock up the 2 seed by beating the Jets Sunday, play the entire PS week 18.
