Looking at the schedule, the safe way to make the playoffs is obviously to win out. But I can't see a set of circumstances where that happens. This team is psychologically beaten. They cannot win the close games or beat contenders. So that probably rules out wins over Tampa and NE. 10-7 is now the ceiling. And with the poor conference record, it probably won't be enough. If - and that's a big if - we could beat NE, and the Colts could beat NE in Indy, then theoretically we could still win the division - even with a loss to Tampa. But the way I am feeling at the moment, I wouldn't be too upset if we missed the playoffs and got a higher draft position to help strengthen a few obvious weaknesses. I simply don't see the point in limping into the playoffs and just making up the numbers. Better to re-load and go again next year with wide eyes open.

In the pre-game thread I said we needed Dabolls best game plan and good execution. I'd argue that we might have got Dabolls worst and the execution was poor. We laid a rotten egg. !@#$ I'm pisssed.

Really need Daboll to be at his best tonight - and for the offense to execute in tough conditions. Come on Bills!!

As you would be if you shagged your supermodel girlfriend and the best you could produce was this:

Any chance one of them was Suzy Kolber and she was wearing a short skirt?

Wow....Josh really gave it to that Colorado LB after rushing for the first down....here's hoping he gives some of that to Judon and co....

Is that guy trying to reduce the wind speed with a phone app?

Got to be honest and say that I do not have the same level of confidence in this team compared to last season and now without Tre it just makes it a bit worse - but I have a feeling we get the W tonight.

Not sure it beats my studio audience ticket to "The View" but I guess it's OK

Just wondering.....are the Cuomo's "in the hunt" for a playoff spot in the NSBEL (National Slimiest-Brothers-Ever League) ?

Is this the right thread to post material on the Cuomo Brothers scandal?

Memo to the perenially triggered - he will be back bigger and better than ever!

If it's anything like the "moderation" of the main board, where everything is considered sexist, mysoginist, racist, Trumpist and a whole bunch of other meaningless, overused tropes then please - stop the train so i can get the hell off!

A must-watch Australian documentary and the follow-up discussion featuring a special guest from the US media:

And just in case anyone thought that the scourge of CRT was exclusive to the USA - think again: https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/controversial-critical-race-theory-still-being-taught-in-nsw-classrooms/news-story/42b07f2071857f32762c997b8b43324d Controversial critical race theory still being taught in NSW classrooms Critical race theory, which claims to teach against racism, is still being taught in NSW classrooms despite being outlawed by the Senate The NSW Department of Education is continuing to list resources that promote the teaching of critical race theory in classrooms, despite the Australian Senate passing a resolution against the practice last June. On Tuesday, it was reported an official department web page hosting a range of so-called “anti-racism” resources for teachers had disappeared as part of an upgrade. However, The Daily Telegraph can reveal that despite concerns raised by state and federal education ministers the page has resurfaced and promotes organisations such as US-based Learning for Justice, whose homepage features an article advising teachers how to fight laws designed to stop the teaching of critical race theory. A number of state legislatures in the US have passed laws to stop such racially divisive doctrines, which categorise people by skin colour and teach that everyone is either an oppressor or oppressed. Learning for Justice also offers free lesson plans for teachers to promote so-called intersectional politics, which encourages people to see one another not as individuals but instead tells students “we all have multiple identity characteristics that make us who we are, and the intersection of these identities come together to create unique forms of privilege and oppression.” Bella d’Abrera, director of the Foundations of Western Civilisation program at the Institute of Public Affairs, said these types of classroom resources went far beyond the scope of addressing racism. “They are promoting radical ideologies such as identity politics and critical race theory which are dangerous and divisive, and which need to be kept out of Australia classrooms,” Dr d’Abrera said. Other lessons come courtesy of the Australian Human Rights Commission, which teaches Australia is a structurally racist nation and that is to blame for Indigenous disadvantage. The site also continues to feature the department’s own Racism No Way project, which has previously been criticised for promoting a “privilege for sale” game and telling students Australia is an inherently ­racist country. “These materials do the opposite to what they purport to do. They are not anti-racist, but rather racist because they teach children that they should not look beyond their superficial differences,” Dr d’Abrera said. “Children do not see colour but yet they are turned against each other by bureaucrats. This is unacceptable.” The focus on so called anti-racism comes as NSW’s education performance continues to decline. This year, the state’s year 9 students recorded their worst- ever NAPLAN reading performance, with one in 10 failing to meet basic national minimum standards. An Education Department spokesman said: “The department has an anti-racism policy, which commits the department to the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination in NSW government schools.”

Yes, provided you are a paid-up member of the lunatic left. One rule for some, goalpost-shifting rules for others.

What about our "can we at least get hands on the f****r" rate, where are we on that list?

Don't forget to grab your hat:

Never thought I would be high-fiving myself over Feliciano & Star returning to the practice field.

He hurt himself trying to chase after the guy who ran his blocked PAT attempt into the end zone

Worth a poll to confirm.

Now that Tre is on IR, is there a rule that allows us to pro-rata the remainder of his contract for this year (about $6-7m) and offer the same amount to another player (assuming you can even find someone close to being that good)?

The only fantasy is believing that he will go close to playing all 17 games

Further proof - if any was required - that there has never been a more kissed on the digit franchise in the history of team sports than the Pats.
