Tua is already expressing some doubts himself that he will ever be the same player he was prior to the injury. It would be a pass for me. His best bet is to return to school and prove he is healthy so he can be a top 3 pick next year imo, but if someone is going to take him in the 1st Round in 2020 then it is hard to say no to that guaranteed $$$. I can see the Raiders taking him and they will have multiple picks before the Bills anyway.
Ah, the Matt Barkley approach. Look where he's at now. LOL

I'd say even 2nd round is absolutely take him..... tell me, where is the downside? The QB position trumps every other position by a large margin. If Allen flames out or gets hurt you have a guy with big potential behind him.
We have more pressing needs then to take a QB that high. And Allen won't flame out. He grows each week and still hasn't hit his ceiling yet

Maybe if we were selecting him as Mr. Irrelevant because he's just that, irrelevant.

The following is a really pessimistic outlook but given the Bills' history I don't think we can say its totally impossible. I think even if the Bills lose to the steelers and pats they probably still beat the jets.
So my question as a life long disappointed Bills' fan is can the Bills still make the playoffs if they lose the next 3? Just curious as I think that happening has to be less than my chances of winning Mega Millions.
It all boils down to 3 teams. Steelers, Texans, and Titans. Texans or Titans will win their division. We hold the tie-breaker over the Titans, but they could still finish with 10 wins, so it won't matter. If Titans win their division and we tie with the Texans, i'm not sure who gets in. I'm not looking it up.

I agree. I am trying (and succeeding) to keep my hands off, but all these playoff threads make me incredibly uncomfortable as a fan.
One game at a time. Just freakin' beat Pittsburgh.
I'm with you. That's why I said in my opening thread that i'm usually saying take it one game at a time. But sometimes it's hard not to look ahead. As a fan, our minds are always on "what if" mode.

I've been saying this all along. That's the game that the Pats have over us.

Oh, well damn. Alright, well yeah maybe Fitz can pull one of his ass for us then. Anyways, it's still a possibility so that's what I'm hoping for as well.
Who knows. I think Fitz would love nothing more than to play a part in de-throning the Pats as AFC East champs.
Remember Fitz, we gave you your first big contract. Please help us out. You need to be our Dalton this year.

If the bills win this week and lose to the pats you rest starters week 17. Otherwise you play them until the end. Simple as that.
Don't forget, the Pats knocked out JA during the first meeting. Not saying that'll happen again, but we should use caution when playing cheaters.

Could happen, but won't happen. Don't forget that the Phins have to go to Gillette. I'd feel a lot better about this if they were playing in Miami.

Not sure if this is being discussed, so please mod or lock as necessary.
As we all know, this is the game that if the Bills win, we're in. With that said, does that mean we can't do worse than the #5 seed? If the Pats win this week, then winning the division will be even more difficult. Obviously we would need to win out and the Pats would have to lose out in order for us to claim that division title, but that may be a pipe dream. As much as I would love for us to beat the Pats in their own backyard, I think it would be smarter to limit our starters for the final two weeks to provide a little extra rest and provide somewhat of a bye week for the starters. I see both sides of the spectrum though. Sometimes, that first round bye is beneficial for obvious reasons with resting the entire team and getting extra time studying your opponent (in our case it wouldn't be a bye but something similar to a bye with resting starters). But in other situations, I know that building momentum during the final weeks of the season is usually a good recipe for making a strong push into the playoffs. I know some of you will say "take it one week at a time, let's focus on this game first." Shoot I'm usually one of those guys that says that, but I just want to gauge where everyone's thoughts are on this potential scenario and what you would do as the Coach of this team during the final two weeks if us and the Pats win this week.
[I'm sorry, I know it's not identical, but we had 2 playoff scenario threads started at the same time, so I did merge]

Exactly. Bojo is a mixed bag because there are times in which he shocks you and rocks one, but punter is the last position you'd want a "mixed bag" from on an NFL roster. You don't want some kind of huge disparity per punt. That 65 yarder is great, but the 33 yarder is more harmful than that 65 yarder is helpful.
You could argue kicker and QB are in the discussion, but it's only natural that a kicker is going to miss a few and a QB is going to have an off day. There's no reason to accept off days from a punter.
Well said!

Yup. You would much rather have a P who kicks two 45 yarders than a 60 and a 30.
Man, a 45 yard punt would be music to my ears the way he's been all year. I'm tired of him giving opposing teams a short field. Thank God for our defense to bail him out most of the time.

Yeah, I thought Bojo had his clown shoes on again, and Roberts was subpar on returns, but Hauschka nailed all three including a fairly long one when we needed him and needed him to regain confidence, and our coverage was good all day, so that's a B.
It still baffles me how Bojo made this team

I would call Borjorques a "mixed bag" rather than atrocious. He had some good punts (67, 52 yds), some average punts (41, 43 yds) and some sucky punts (29, 33, 35 yds)
Of course, the sucky punts didn't help us.
I can't remember, but more than likely, those two good punts were with the wind at this back. I could be wrong.

Kelly, I have a lot of respect for you, but this is a very bad take. It's not just time, it's time and space.
First, here is what Josh's throwing motion looks like when he has "plenty of time" (and space). This is a deep TD throw to Brown. Look at his hip relative to his knee and foot:
Here is Josh's throw to Brown. You can see the Ravens are bringing the heat, including a guy who just beat Singletary and a delayed blitzer. That's not Josh's usual throwing platform, and if he took his usual step one of the Ravens may well hit his arm, so he wisely didn't.
Here's the throw to Foster. There is no pocket, and while Spain is between Josh and the rushers, he's being pushed into Josh's lap.
Here's the throw to Knox. Again, Josh is still on his feet, but barely. Bodies all around, and he's hit a split second after he throws:
Here's the 2nd overthrow to Brown. This is after Josh weaves his way through three bodies (one of whom literally upends Morse) and escapes from the pocket:
To the rest, Knox didn't "decide not to block" Judon, Judon just beat him to the outside and Knox stuck with him, trying to force him deep and past Josh, but he lost again. Any plan that has Knox on Judon is just a Bad Plan - but that's because Judon is an exceptional player, not because Knox can't block or doesn't try.
While the drops we see as drops weren't contested catches, neither were they easy grabs (in part because of the duress Josh was under).
Were there things our offense could have done differently and better, Yes, but to talk as though these are "self inflicted wounds" or "unforced errors" - I can't even. The Baltimore D deserves props, Man. They're good, and they did force errors.
Damn, good captures! Seeing this definitely makes you feel better about Josh Allen. Give him time and a clean pocket equals big time success for him. The Ravens D Line was insane that game and our O Line was constantly getting beat. JA had little to no time at all during most of this game.

Sorry OP but that offense gets a D as does the ST. Our defense has carried the remaining 66% of this team on their backs all year long.
No way does the ST get a D for that game. The punter was atrocious, yes, but Money Haushka was money that game. He's been unreliable lately and I was afraid to match him up against Tucker, but he proved that he's still valuable. And it's not like we allowed them to break for any long punt or kick off returns. We held them in check. One thing I was frustrated with is Roberts. I know he's hungry and wants to take one to the house, but for goodness sake, if you catch it in the endzone, just put your knee down and let your offense start on the 25 instead of the 20 or worse and avoid injuries. At worst, ST was average as a whole.

Well, here's my thing. Through most of the season, Brown has been our #1 WR. And when the game is on the line, you go to your #1. Right now, that's still Brown.
The last two games, Brown has all but disappeared while Beasley has been great at times and also has bobbled and dropped balls and let a ball bounce off his thigh for a pick. He's been taking a step recently, it appears, as Brown has been being taken out of it more, but he missed a key catch Sunday. So maybe you have a point, but it's at best arguable.
The bottom line, if Brown wants to make his case for "Smoke is Dangerous" in the pro-bowl voting, he has to show up when it counts. He has to get with his coaches or dial up his friend Larry Fitzgerald and figure out how to make those plays when the game is on the line, because contested catch or not, that's what the #1 guy does. He had a similar non-catch where the ball hit his hands and may or may not have been deflected in the Browns game for what would have been a key 3rd down conversion.
Brown makes a point that the Ravens got away with a lot of pass interference in this snippet
I grant this is one clip of a longer interview and could be out of context, but when a true #1 fails to haul in catch on the goalline that hits his hands, the only thing to say is "I have to find a way to make that play"
Brown was blanketed all game, and yes, Beasley had a couple of costly drops, but I still feel that he would've been the surer target in this particular scenario. Especially since we utilize him a lot during 3rd down situations and has great success with that. I do get your point with Brown being our #1 and he wants to be the #1, so he needs to show that he can be that guy on a consistent basis. His next two match ups will be just as tough going against Fitzpatrick and Gilmore, so it's time for him to step up and prove himself. He has the speed to blow by both guys, so I do believe that he and Josh will be dialing up a game plan this Sunday to prove his worth.

The Ravens, in the 6 games prior to ours, were allowing a whole 13.2 ppg on opponents' offense.
We scored 17, which is the same number of points the SF 49ers (who happen to have the #2 scoring offense in the NFL this season), managed to hang on the Poe-birds.
We were in position to tie the game on the final play, if a ball delivered well enough to hit the receivers hands was hauled in.
Let me reprise that: We scored more than the Raven's 6 game average, matched the output of the best-scoring NFC team against them, and brought it to the final play of the game, despite our QB playing the 2nd half on a taped-up sprained ankle and under constant duress, dropped balls, missed throws etc.
I think to call that a "C", is fairly tough grading.
All great points. We definitely showed that we can hang with anyone in the league. I've got a feeling that teams will fear us in January.

Great post. I felt terrible after the game. Still not thrilled, but I'm getting better. The fact that we were so close to tying the game and going into Overtime against the best team in the League, I am starting to come around.
Still would have liked the win, though......
Still blows my mind that we didn't draw up a play for Beasley on that final play. With that close to the goal, Beasley makes all the sense in the world cuz he finds ways to get open. And it's still hard to swallow the fact that if we would've won that game, winning the division would've been completely in our control. It can still be done, but it'll be much harder. Or we should've just beaten Cleveland. Either way, let's just get to double digit wins and get into the playoffs. We will build on our losses and if we wind up playing a team for a second or third time in the playoffs, we'll be much tougher and more prepared.

At the end of the day, we just need to create more turnovers. I'm not concerned about defensive TDs. Sure it helps, but turnovers in general ultimately leads to winning games.

For me, i'd have to say Jalen Ramsey. I'm still bitter on how he took shots at almost every QB in the NFL last season, including ours. I just don't like his cocky attitude and how he feels that he's the greatest. By all means, he's good, but not humble at all.
3 minutes ago, Iron Maiden said:I think Aaron Rodgers is a full blown diva....not crazy about him.....Travis Kelce is also full of himself....I was reading a few seasons ago how he was absolutely flipping out on people calling him baby Gronk...lol...
I feel the same way about Aaron Rodgers. When thinking about this question, he definitely came to mind as one of the top ones on my dislike list. Definitely a great QB, just can't stand that "diva" attitude as you mentioned.

Very true on all points! Barkley had the potential to be special too. That's why I was happy to have him because of how he played prior to his Senior year.
We need the Deion Sanders meme along with that
