It could be , but not guaranteed. One game is guaranteed where they play the entire division. Have to finish in same place within your division to get the others. The team is not specified - just the X place finisher. It’s just played out that way the last few years with Bills and KC.

Or at least until we find out either way. Agree with the premise though.

It was never confirmed to be season ending as far as I know.

I think they only didn’t pick a QB because they knew Whaley was a goner and most incoming GMs want to pick their own QB. By all accounts McD ran that draft.

They all specialize in offense , though not D. I agree it appears Dorsey is not a capable enough OC. Or maybe you just mean todays NFL requires an offensive HC to win big ? If so it’s a fair point .

You want to clean house and rebuild during the season ? Not how it works. Simple - don’t watch and you won’t see!

It’s really on the coaches to get it right. They’ve got enough pieces to make it work. We’ll see if they can be innovative or if they’re stubborn. Allen is the meal ticket.

I don’t think Mahomes has rings if he were in Buffalo. I do think if Reid had Allen in KC he’d still have won a couple Super Bowls with him , though. You need the coaching too.

Won’t happen until after the season. What do they do to right the ship ?

Expecting to hear the HC tell the media what he really thinks about what’s causing the team’s problems? Lol C’mon Man !

Kinda makes it sting a little more actually.

Maybe. Won’t know for another month. If he’s not ramped up by December , he’s done.

Not happening in season , so why discuss ? McD / staff need to do one thing : get aggressive. Josh Allen is the reason you’ve won games. They’ve dialed him down, not up and that’s a bad move. Their best defense is a good offense.

No

The Bills have a terrible offensive scheme / design . They need to turn Allen loose. More Allen, more explosiveness, less wasted run plays. He’s their meal ticket. Is it too much to expect to stop Mac Jones and NE?

Yup. You’re job is to get the ball carrier down on the ground. You’re not always in a position to make a form tackle. Very dumb idea.

Exactly as it has been the last couple years. Just hasn’t played out that way.

I don’t claim to be a sports scientist or anything like it, but sure I can see Etienne and the Jags being closer to acclimated after almost 10 days. The Bills weren’t going to be able to do that . This was discussed heavily before the game and I’m simply repeating the information reported at the time. The good news is these games only come up every 5-8 years or something like that. You can probably get someone to cite any study to match ones opinion. Why not look it up for yourself if you’re curious. I don’t know what studies they used or how many other teams they talked to. It seems many teams have gone about it the same way , so take it for what it’s worth.

The sports science on this says if you can’t get there a couple weeks early to acclimate to the time change , then go as late as possible. A few days won’t make a significant difference.

Lots of voices calling for Allen to run a lot less the last couple years. Now the Bills offense is there , and voices are calling for Allen to run more. Isn’t this what they all wanted , to extend Allen’s career etc. ? It seems like the threat of Allen running opened up more opportunities in the passing game. If Josh running is what it takes to win just a single Super Bowl title , I’m all for it.

Game coming up vs Tampa as well, interestingly enough

The TE should have caught it, period. Not a perfect throw but hit him in the hands and a catch NFL players make routinely.

Don’t know if he was or wasn’t. Didn’t notice him making any plays. Seems to still be a work in progress. Can’t say I focused on him specifically in any way though.

Haven’t noticed him yet. Hopefully he can ramp it up with spot duty for the next month or so.

If you’re actually a fan of the team that got the W, yes. He’s not.
