I really don't feel like typing out each game. That would take me a lot of time and my hands don't work so well. If I have to, to prove it then I will but I don't think I need to. I use playoff machine, not the NYT one. I've ran at least 3 scenarios the Bills don't get in at 10-7 and all 3 were realistic. It really isn't that hard to see 3 other teams making 10 wins when 7 other teams can technically do so. The Bills have pretty much no tie breakers against any of them accept for maybe a head to head against the raiders. That head to head didn't even matter a week ago as tie breakers put the Raiders ahead of us due to conference record and multiway tie stuff. Our conference record is what is really killing us in the 10 win scenario.

The 2023 NFL schedule has undergone two changes for Week 13, the league announced on Tuesday. The Denver Broncos at Houston Texans game in Week 13 on Sunday, Dec. 3, previously scheduled for 4:05pm ET on CBS, has been flexed and will now kickoff at 1:00pm ET. The television broadcast for the Broncos-Texans contest remains on CBS. As a result of that change, the Week 13 Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers contest has been flexed from its 1:00pm ET spot and will now kickoff at 4:05pm ET. The Panthers-Buccaneers contest also remains on CBS. No other Week 13 games were affected by the changes, per the league announcement.

Exactly. Not enough people understand that. Bills dont even control their own destiny winning out. That scenario is unlikely but there are at least two scenarios where that is the case. People talking like losing 2 games is no problem.

What's realistic is enough teams have the same or better record than us if we went 10-7 and keep us out of the playoffs. There are many scenarios where that can happen.

There isn't anything unrealistic. You just want to believe the Bills can skate in at 10-7. Thats tough to do this year. Cleveland has a stout defense and a good run game. They only need to win 3 games to get to 10-7.

Thats no excuse. You can't use it and then complain about people caring about it. You using it is exactly the same reason people care about it. Allen is a god here. Football is a huge part of the Buffalo communities lives. That Buffalo community extends all over. Even different countries. So what? Lamar is a god to you. You defend him like he is your brother. The media does dog crap on Allen and hold him more accountable than other QBs. Commercials have nothing to do with sports media.

Because different things can happen in different games. We beat KC in the regular season the last two years. Did it matter in the post season? I get your point but the playoffs are just a different beast.

Who said anything about different players in different roles? I said he rotated the talent that was on the bench. Everyone saw the field and was involved. Even the practice squad running back.

It's not just about ... but that guy was open. It's about making an offense that fits the talent you have on the team. Josh was struggling with this offense. The players were struggling with this offense. The talent was not utilized. Coaching was not making the mistakes go away. But hey a guy was open. There is a lot more to it then that. Dorsey ran a generic offense designed to just have plays that had answers. Plays that are run against any defense and not an actual gameplan to exploit a specific teams weakness. He didn't run plays that actually schemed anything. It relied on the players always making the right decision and have precision. There isn't room for errors. He had no idea what to do with half the players on this team. He ran motion just to run motion and did so sparingly. He had no mix of the run to pass game. Sure, he ran the ball but never a surprise. It was run run run run run until it was stopped and then back to pass pass pass pass. Joe B came in and constantly rotated through our offensive players on the bench. He simplified things down for Josh to have easy button plays. He used motion a lot. More than anytime Dorsey has. Not only that but that motion had purpose. It identified coverage and also cleared spots for receivers to be. We used the middle of the field quite a bit. Something we didn't do much of before. He had a run and pass game mixture to keep the defense guessing instead of just going one or the other. He had a plan against a team and embarrassed them. He ran plays to setup future plays. He ran plays that made the defense defend everything. Something Dorsey has not been able to do against the Jets. McD made a comment and said something along the lines of "I could hear all the chatter of the offensive staff communicating and adjusting throughout the game." You don't make that comment unless it's something that hadn't normally happened. Sorry, it might not seem like much but it obviously was. It isn't just about "that guy was open" on the still shot.

Right... because when anyone says anything about Lamar Jackson nobody brings up "bErt He gOtz aN mVpS"

He was a stud against the Jets and played well against Denver too. I dunno, I don't really watch all that deeply too much but the dude has been making plays. I agree, the d should be able to make a game winning drive stop. Outside of that they have played very well. I just can't fault a D that keeps the team in the game for 3/4 of football the offense did nothing. Especially with as many turnovers and 3 and outs this offense has had.

Did they at least try an offensive players only meeting first?

Oh noes!! They fired the wrong guy!!! It wasn't the coordinator. It was the execution!!!

100%. This is the stuff I have been saying all year. You too. We have been on the same page. Seen this on MSN... Brady said he had a specific, but simple plan, for his quarterback. “I just wanted him to be Josh Allen,” Brady told reporters Monday night. “The fun, the excitement that he kind of plays with — like I feed off of it. At the end of the day, man, this is a game we’re supposed to have fun. I have a ton of fun coaching, I know our guys have a lot of fun playing. . . . Not that he wasn’t having fun before, but I think you saw it a little bit last night. I think the guys obviously fed off of it as well.” Brady, who was the offensive coordinator for LSU in 2019, is just getting used to the NFL. He spent two years with the Carolina Panthers, then moved to Buffalo as the QBs coach last season. Now, he’s the interim offensive coordinator and the Bills have new-found life in the playoff race. Brady kept the Bills offense in the shotgun for the first 18 snaps. Then he began calling more play action, with Allen under center. It all worked. The 32 points represented Buffalo’s most in a game since they beat Miami, 48-20, win over Miam Oct. 8. Conversely, the Jets haven’t allowed so many points since early December, 2021. Brady’s first game, and the offense in general, pleased McDermott. “I think more than anything, the intangibles of the offense started to show up in the second half. McDermott said, acknowledging the team’s “effort” and “unselfish play.” “And I think that to me is the biggest step that I saw (Sunday).” he said.

Schoop on wgr which I was only listening to because I was going to drs appointment…. “this is the toughest game the Bills have played since Super Bowl 28. The Eagles really intimidate me” I don’t think so schoop. im more worried about KC defense honestly. They cover well and their pass rush is beast. Philly has los passes and rush push.

I don't think 10 wins is enough. Not without some serious help. Pitts and Houston only need 4 wins to hit that mark just like us. Cleveland only needs 3. 4 other teams would need 5 wins. Some of them will get there. I dont know if 3 will but some of them will.

I dont have time to read all this now but plan to tomorrow. Its not so much the shotgun runs for me. Its how they were doing it. Also its shotgun pistol formation from the half yard line. That should never happen IMO.

It's a style alright.

We can with good gameplan, good coaching, and good Josh.

Holy crap no flag. Im actually shocked.

His knee mighta been down to boot might be sack really. Definitely grounding if not

How is that not grounding?

Heres a free extra 15 yards to help ya out
