Weird and interesting scenario with too many ifs... but plausible ones: Let's say Buffalo beats NE and the Browns the following week and NE also loses to the Ravens. If that were to happen, the Eagles game would be completely and utterly meaningless as far as the division goes and (I'm pretty sure) the Bills will have already clinched a playoff spot. The final game vs. the Jets would then be a game you would have to win regardless of whether the Patriots were to lose against the Jets or Dolphins. This is all assuming the Patriots don't just lose out, which I don't think is a possibility. Do you rest your starters vs. the Eagles? It'd be a weird situation where you could rest your starters in the 2nd to last game of the season but would have to go into the final game viewing that as the start of the playoffs in a way.

Well yeah... obviously. And it's Stafford and Maye as his competition. JT doesn't really have a chance to win MVP at this point. Honestly, if the Bills win against NE this weekend and Josh has game where he plays better than May I think he may end up becoming the betting favorite.

Born in 1981. Started getting interested in football the year before our first Super Bowl run. So long ago... and I don't feel old.

1) Josh Allen 2) James Cook 3) Joey Bosa 4) Shaq Thompson 5) Christian Benford In that order

Why not?

This was a horrendous job handling what was such a blatant and obvious concussion by the league.

Tre has been pretty good this season. He was awesome last week.

Wonder if Grable steps in. A lot of the film guys see a future starter in him.

Guessing he's now our 4th outside CB, right? He'd been playing pretty much backup Safety all year with the ability to hop in as the slot and nickel CB. Now with Savage won't it just be a seamless transition to move him into Ingram's role? And isn't he better than Ingram? Sure seems like it to me. Ingram wasn't even active the last 3 games. And Darius Slay doesn't play Special Teams, Cam Lewis is a special teams ace. Plus, Darnell Savage was a pretty productive Packers DB who really just wasn't re-signed more for money issues than flat out not wanting him... sound familiar? So in the process of Slay refusing to report Beane upgrades our 4th CB and Safety depth while finding a possible future starter after this trial run. 4D chess by Beane

My buddy is a die hard Packers fan and said Savage was good for them up to 2023 before he left. So no, I don't think this is like Elam at all. If you listened to McDermott's Friday presser that's obvious. He clearly really wanted Ingram back on the team.

Forgive me. I don't know if anyone else in this forum is like me at this point and comes here as much (maybe more) for Bills news than discussion... but the fact that the other thread hasn't changed the title to acknowledge Slay ain't coming and we will now have an open roster spot that will not be filled by a player we've had on the team developing for years now because he was claimed by a Conference rival playoff contender is a little frustrating. if I'm alone, sue me.

As scary as the Bengals are (and they absolutely are), Beane and McDermott have constructed our D specifically to stop teams like this that are so pass heavy. Our back 7 have actually played awesome against the pass pretty consistently this year and with Shaq at MLB, I like our defensive chances against Burrow.

You disagree?
