Let them Keep doubting Allen and downplaying his abilities. The Bills have beaten the Chiefs at Arrowhead two of the last 3 times we’re a few seconds and some questionable defensive strategy away from winning all 3. Meanwhile the Bengals were down 17-3 at Tampa ( who promptly turned the ball over 4 times in the second half to lose ) and nearly fell to the Patriots on Sunday. Yet those teams are talked up as unstoppable. The anti Bills and anti Allen bias has resurfaced, but I believe that will serve to motivate Josh even more.

I get it, it’s a simple play that should be executed cleanly most of the time, but bad snaps do happen. Watching , I was definitely more tense before that play than watching Josh miss a 5 yard pass he should make in his sleep. There’s just no point lamenting each missed play in a loss. Teams lose games and all that matters is the next one. The Bills have a great opportunity and control their own destiny.

It’s fine if an NFL record is meaningless to you. Doesn’t make it any less real. Well, no one. Just as NFL fans don’t care much about records in swimming, cricket or curling. Probably not , anyways.

I’ve always liked his commentary and analysis. Interesting how varied opinions can be.

FA crop of RB’s is pretty good this coming offseason. That could keep Singletary’s deal very reasonable so I agree with your assessment. As for Hines I thought his deal was fairly expensive but not sure.

No, it doesn’t change it. What they want doesn’t matter though. It’s all about money.

And there is one reason for that, and one reason only : money. Covered stadium costs far more to build so they will build the cheaper stadium.

Yes , winning two games vs three games is a pretty big advantage. One thing is guaranteed, though ;last years results mean zero to this years results.

Yeah looks like 40% chance of rain at 8 pm. Hope it’s a bit off and we have a dry game.

Yeah it’s determined by where each team finishes in their division. This can lead to repeat matchups and long stretches between others.

True. Last AFC title game in BUF was January 1994. Bills are in great shape with Josh, but you can’t just pencil these things in every season.

Tickets are refundable if game isn’t needed. Some may want to have the proverbial bird in hand ..

A win vs Bengals could drive prices upward as well. Best to wait at this point regardless.

It will be a Bengals ball schmoozing fest. Go with the Bills radio feed or the regular MNF Westwood One feed over the TV audio.

At this point I’d say best to wait until closer to game . Just a guess but seems that’s been the best way in the past.

Agree. It’s about matchups and the Bills matchup better with New England. Miami is capable of keeping it close and can score quickly with those WRs. Tua is what he is , but he’s better than Jones.

They seem to be lately , as well as the Eagles.

The context is as follows : first 5 years in the league. Allen also did not have targets the likes of Kelce, Hill etc. It was Kelvin Benjamin, Robert Foster, Duke Williams etc. The record is what it states, not a projection of Mahomes stats.

No , the stat is not misleading. It’s EXACTLY what it says it is. Stats do not come with asterisks and/ or projections on what other players would have done if a. b. or c. happened. Mahomes was assigned the backup role by his coaches. If they thought he would break records as a rookie he would have played. There is no way to know what he would have/ might have done.

Or if they could complete a 5 yard TD pass Vs MIA , or convert a chip shot FG, or Davis hangs on to a TD catch, or if they could beat the Jets with Wilson at QB… etc etc see how easy this is ? You could do this for any team unless they go undefeated. No team plays their best for 17 games and other teams in the league have good players that make plays from time to time. You can’t pin it on any one loss when none were blowouts. They all count the same in the standings. The Bills have a great shot to earn the #1 overall seed and home field thought on their own. They don’t need to rely on other teams to do this for them. That’s a great situation to be in with just 2 weeks remaining.

Thought Hackett was godawful when he was here. 15 games and it was probably overdue.

No . Have to win out unless Chiefs lose this week .

I doubt it. I think he goes where he has a quality QB in place .

I’ve seen speculation by NFL media types that this could happen. It’s very possible depending how their end of season plays out imo. Of course it wouldn’t be reported as such by the team. It would be Bill has decided to “ step aside “ into an advisory role etc etc. would not be reported as a firing. Perhaps a “ retirement from coaching” or something to that effect. It’s pretty clear - even to those of us who can’t stand him- that the Patriot way was Tom Brady. Belichick has reverted to his pre Brady winning percentage.

Bills are 2 seed I believe
