Former Pat* f&@! him

Obviously , but it’s not exactly an elephant in the room. That was my point. They’ll go as far as Josh can take them , just as in the past. Against a top team in a playoff situation that might mean whoever has the ball last wins.

Why? He will not return this year and everyone knows that. They’ve never had him in the playoffs and don’t now. You can’t lean on what you’ve never had to carry you. They will have to scheme up pressure , no different than any of their previous playoff experiences.

Cool.. Bryant back to PS if he clears , or maybe this is a good sign for J Phillips?

It was January of ‘94 vs … KC Chiefs. Joe Montana and Marcus Allen. Montana was knocked out in first half . Mike Ditka called the Bills “ boring” in the previous weeks postgame show and really heard it from the Buffalo fans . Good times

In short, the teams with the best Quarterbacks - Bills, Chiefs, Bengals - are not overhyped because they can win any game in most any situation. Most NFL games are not blowouts.

Kugler was fine. Sanchez was pretty awful, actually.

SF has a pretty good OL too. Ours needs reinforcements. Harder to do sacrificing all those picks. Probably would have taken more from the Bills to pull off as they’d assume Bills would be picking after SF. I totally get not doing that kind of a deal. Worked great for SF though.

Jets chances are now in the 25% range to get in. I agree they are likely toast at this point.

It’s an advantage to be sure, but not the be all end all. Plenty of teams have won SuperBowls without it. Only one team will get it , and I’m pretty sure the other teams won’t decide they may as well skip the playoffs this year. So much hand wringing over this topic around here. The fact is the Bills have it at the moment, but their remaining schedule doesn’t favor them being in that spot when week 18 concludes. Some fans seem to think they can’t win without it. Guess they’d rather skip the playoffs if the Bills aren’t the #1 seed.

They clearly didn’t see it that way. What can you do? When you’ve got a good roster other teams will poach players as the rules allow. Looks like Jones was down

The coaches felt that it was. Or they’d have to cut someone else. These things happen when you are a good team: you’re going to lose players. Injuries probably played a role. You’re talking about the edges of the roster here.

Agree. Unforced errors are huge. The Bucs are not a top team, but their unforced errors cost them a chance to beat the Bengals today. Josh can bail you out of a few, but too many and the game will get out of hand. Last nights defensive performance was sub par.

Not to compete. To win vs Super Bowl contenders ? Yes , absolutely. That’s todays NFL. Elite QBs making elite plays win you games.

That happened at end of MNF game vs Chiefs too. Cost them the game imo

The Bills could certainly lose to CIN, maybe even get blown out. Hasn’t happened yet this year but could.

True but I’d still like a shot at the 2 seed and take our chances if the Bills stumble .

Doing a great job of it too

We’ve taken enough daggers from Brady over the years.. he owes us a favor or two vs rivals.

Bucs are puking on their shoes after a pretty solid first half. Bills will have to earn this all on their own and they’ll have their work cut out for them.

No. As with the Bills and Josh Allen, the Chiefs have a QB that can win in most any situation. That’s the biggest difference in being a contender or not. Teams are not perfect and the season is long.

That hold was BS .. ticky tack that had zero to do with the play .. it was a sack or throwaway at that point Face mask was legit and should have been called

Looks like it’s going to be very cold and windy. Only 8 degrees for a high without windchill. 30 mph winds. Don’t love it, but have to go in and get the job done.

The difference in the game was most certainly Josh Allen, but the Dolphins are a good team. 2021 Bills weren’t exactly on fire offensively in December on their way to the playoffs.

I agree this came from the coach , but there’s nothing iffy about it. This isn’t college football either. You expect a routine kick to be made. You run the clock down and win the game; take many variables out of the equation and don’t give MIA an opportunity.
