Why do we consider this "must win" mode? Pretty much that is how it goes in the NFL. They only play 17 games. They are all really important.

Thanks for sharing. It's tough to compare the impact of injuries across the NFL, so this is probably as good as it gets to achieving that. And yeah, losing your starting QB is way more impactful than any other position, so that makes sense. The other tough thing to quantify is players playing hurt. We've had plenty of hobbled players who suit up, but can't play to their normal level. Last year he was elite for sure. Not even a question. He was really, really good. This year he has regressed a bit.

I don't think you are allowed to say nice things about the coaches and staff. You have to call for them to be fired. You are only allowed to say nice things about Josh Allen. Maybe he gets a penalty here and there, but he is still a really good player. He was ELITE last year. One of the best in the NFL. He hasn't been as good this year, but he is still a good starter.

Moulds had talented receivers ahead of him and had to wait his turn. It's not even close to the same situation.

He is not the right type of nut job.

The Bengals have perhaps the worst defense in the NFL, have a record of 4 wins, 8 losses, and have a rusty QB who is still hobbled behind a below average offensive line. The Bills, an 8 win team, have the best running game in the NFL a a defense that has played pretty darn well the last few weeks. It's obvious the Bills should be favored, especially at home.

Maybe there is a front office change at some point. But they'll never let Allen go. It's also normal for teams, even with elite QBs, to have down years here and there as iterations of the teams age out and you have to have soft rebuilds.

Why wouldn't they be?

I think Jackson is already going into the downswing of his career. What makes him special are his legs. He is a good passer as well, but without the threat of his legs, which will become less and less special as the years pass, he just won't have the ability to get it done. That's how I see it. Allen will play his entire career in Buffalo.

Baltimore has significantly WORSE success in the postseason than the Bills. They can't even get past Buffalo, much less KC. Jackson plays significantly worse in the playoffs. He will never get past Allen, Mahomes, and Burrow to the superbowl. One or multiples of those QBs will always be there to get in the way.

Allen will be the only QB of those to go to or win a Superbowl.

Maybe the Bills already knew what needed to be done? It would be pretty lame of the NFL to wait for the Bills to just barely install a brand new field and then announce that it has to be torn out and redone.

I think offensive line play around the NFL is not as good as it was even just 10 years ago. There are very few dominant olines anymore in the NFL. The Bills had one last year, at least.

I'm sure the Bills can tweak anything with the field before it is all installed to be compliant.

Allen has not been as good avoiding sacks, and he is also the culprit for some of the sacks. But Dawkins hasn't been quite as good this year. He was awesome last year, and regressed a bit.
