You can argue they are making the AFCCG, I don't see it. I just want them to beat the Bengals next week. If they can.

I give it a little better than 50/50 he clears and ends up on the Bills PS. Lots of teams are done for the year. The playoff teams have their lineups.

Flacco is having himself an unbelievable swan song. Wins against the Jags, Bears, Texans and now Jets. Lost to the Raiders. He needs to keep it up for the Bengals next week. He is beating all the also-rans! He will get stomped in the divisional round of the playoffs.

Or the Bills cruise to a 31-13 victory.

I don't compare it to the Bills. I would imagine Payton gave Wilson his shot. That seemed to fail so it's on to Plan B, getting rid of Wilson. I truly believe that's where they are and where they go from here is not worked out at all.

Yes.

We were mainly talking about next season. I also don't see the Broncos beating the Raiders in Las Vegas.

Raiders win out. Bills beat NE. Steelers beat Ravens. Chiefs lose out. Those are 6 games, the result is: Chiefs miss the playoffs. Am I doing this right?

Most likely this is their plan. After Sunday they know it's playoff time. Waiving a guy gets easier too because most of the teams are finished for the year and increases the odds of getting that guy to the PS. I don't see this as a big issue.

I'm not totally sure it's an all-out tank. It may depend on what Peyton's evaluation of players on the offensive side of the ball. It's the other reason to bench Wilson. He will get a look at how Stidham runs the offense and how they look with him. The second part has to be who is the future at QB for them. He could try to sign a guy like Cousins with a small cap hit in 2024 but Cousins is the only "decent" QB on the market as of now. Cousins could have a choice as to where he goes. Stidham is signed for 2024 and maybe he just gets a Jake Browning or someone to compete and he waits on QB. They will have a chance at some of the 2nd tier rookies. Personally, if I was him, I would keep the D intact and completely redo the O this season. Question on the O is, reach for the QB now or rebuild a cheaper O with the plan to get the QB later. I don't think with the cap situation he will have that he can do both. We all will know which path he is going in March especially if a couple of the big money guys on the O get traded.

We will see. It's Garoppolo money. Daniel Jones just got $92M guaranteed.

Bills currently have 10 DL, when Jones comes back one of them go "somewhere".

I'm not a huge college fan so it depends on how many quality QBs are going to be drafted in the Top 10-12. Your teams are the ones probably too far away to get one. So I kind of agree with you. Denver will eat $68M in cap. A team trading for him would have him for 2 years with a total cost of $54M. He has no dead cap after that so a team could move on after 2 years. I can see someone doing that.

That is Wilson post June hit. Broncos would need to carry $85M until they can split it after June 1st. If they are truly doing that, they are tanking in 2024. They would need to release and/or trade a good amount of their big money players. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/denver-broncos/russell-wilson-9885/

It would be nice for Elam (and other backups) to get snaps in the 4th quarter. If the starters can get a big lead, they get some rest. Nice incentive to spank BB's Pats early!

They are very good against the run. 3.2 yard per carry is a good stat. Sure a lot better than Denver at 5.1.

Agree. If the Bills can run the ball at all with some production, they can control the game and Josh should have time to throw. NE has a great D, but they are in the bottom third of the league in sacks.

As I mentioned earlier, NE is the best, by far in the league, against the run. How the Bills and Brady handle this will be key.

He was limping pretty bad when he came off the field Saturday. I don't believe he returned. Ankle sprains for WR are not good. We'll see if he is practicing or not this week.

I just looked up the current Bills PS players elevation stats. Norman - 3 times. Next time he has to be signed to the 53. Isabella - 2 times. Ingram - 1 time. Fournette - 1 time. https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/transactions/_/name/buf/buffalo-bills

Weather (I know, a far way off) looks cloudy and the 30s. Probably average wind. Typical Buffalo winter weather. As for some X's and O's, curious how Brady will consider the Bills run game. Patriots are best in the league against the run. Can't abandon the run but need to find a way to get production. Could be a key to the game. Shutting down the Patriots run game and then pressuring Zappe is my "I'm a fan and don't know crap) gameplan. Sure would be nice to see the Bills Special Teams come and play a decent game.

Pegula and his team said that was the #1 priority for the new stadium. FWIW.

My hope is Ty Johnson is back ASAP. I like his fit with the OL blocking. It would be great to see him back with the Bills next season. Not sure if Justin Shorter is being considered right now for the 53. I am leaning for him to be WR6, but someone has to go. It seems he is either activated or they shut him down for the year to save his rookie contract status. If he is activated, I guess they would have to waive a tackle and hope he slides to the PS. It's getting to the time of the year that PS "elevations" could come into play if needed. Does anyone have a list of current PS players and how many times they have been elevated?

First off, to all the "Bills fans" who are pointing out how bad the Bills are for only winning by 2 points against the Chargers I just have this to say: How about being fans this week of the Saints, Bengals, Colts, Texans, Vikings, Jaguars, Cowboys, Broncos, Chiefs and 49ers? All teams fighting for post season positioning and all coming off loses. Our Buffalo Bills won their game! Bills are home against a big division rival. They will not take this game lightly. If they lose it's on them but all they need to do is win. By any score. My hope is to send BB home with a crushing loss, but I'll take any win. Go Bills!

What is going on with the Chiefs IMO is frustration due to their belief they were the NE Patriots replacement in the AFC. They believed (and others too) that they will continue to be the top team every season. They are a good team and could even win more SBs, but they are not the 2001-2019 NE Patriots. Neither is any other team in the NFL. Mahomes, Reed and the Chiefs are a good combination but no matter what anyone says, it's hard to keep winning in the NFL year after year. Not just talent wise and physically, but mentally too. The NE Patriots (with Brady) was an anomaly. Parity is the norm in the NFL and that's why what happened this weekend happened. I believe that there is a lot of disgruntled Buffalo Bills fans on this board who would look at their team a little differently if they understood that. I truly believe the NE Patriots "Dynasty" hurt football for the average fan. Forget it, it's over and let's get back to what football was before that team from Boston existed. Many teams each year will have a chance for the SB, but only 1 will get it.
