You state this as if matters in any way. PFF is a clown show at best.

You have to laugh at all the nervous Nellie's on 2BD for the Colts game. First, the idea that last years playoff loss will motivate the Colts in any special way is silly. BOTH teams will be motivated because this is a big game with playoff implications. Second, the idea that the Bills got lucky to beat the Colts in the playoffs last year is BS. Buffalo led 14 - 10 at half; 17 - 10 at the end of the 3rd quarter; 24 - 10 early in the 4th quarter and 27 - 17 midway through the 4th quarter. The Bills never trailed in the 2nd half. Third, Rivers played a great game against the Buffalo D last year in the playoffs. He threw for over 300 yards, two TD's and had no TO's. It would be a long shot for Wentz to play as ell as Rivers did. Fourth, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at Bills "fans" claiming that the Wentz game against Buffalo in 2019 will have anything to do with this upcoming game. Hell, Wentz has regressed as a QB since that game and Allen has gotten much better.

Last years playoff game will have zero impact on this game. Both Indy & the Bills should be motivated to win now that we're in the playoff hunt stretch. And I fear an accurate, patient QB like Rivers more then I do Wentz. Sure, it will be a tough game but I see the Bills taking it by 7 - 10 points.

There is a big difference between this O - line with Brown at Tackle and Williams at guard then with Williams at tackle and Ford at guard. .

On the 15 yard TD sweep by Breida watch Brown pancake the LB. It's impressive from both a physical and athletic standpoint.

Does anyone luck out in having their interceptions dropped as much Mahomes? That's two tonight.

All you need to unleash Allen and that WR group is a little time to throw the ball. Brown is playing great and Williams is a much better guard then tackle. And I'll say it - Brown was a home run pick in the 3rd round.

I don't understand you saying it was driven by the defense? Sure they've played great but the Bills are producing huge yardage eclipsing 300 yards in every game so far. I think the issue is that even when moving the ball at will and rolling up yardage and points the Bills offense seems off. This IMO is due to a below average O-line that introduces a sense of chaos on a lot of the pass plays and RB's that are not able to make teams pay for how they're defensing us. That big TD run by Motor on the 2nd play of the Miami game should have been repeated multiple times. Instead, our run game is more apt to lose yardage then gain yardage on any given play. And let's be honest we all fear 3rd and 1.

It wasn't very important for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. Hell, home field really didn't matter for them either. IF the Bill's catch fire and finish say 13 - 4 or 12 - 5 and lock up the 2nd seed that will mean two home games and a road trip for the championship game - just like last season. Wasn't it as recently as 2019 that the Ravens had the bye and home field advantage and lost their first game of the layoffs?

Looking at the full picture here's what I see: * Four of the five Bills wins have been blowouts with margins of victory huge by NFL standards (18, 22, 35 & 40 points). * Their 5th win ended up being by a comfortable 15 point margin against a team that has won back back to games since including a big upset over the Ravens. * Two of the Bill's losses were by 3 points with the Bill's offense having the ball in their opponents territory with a real chance to tie the game & force OT or win the game outright. * Their 3rd loss was by one score against a likely playoff team in Pittsburgh. The difference in this game was a blocked punt TD by the Steelers. The Bills led this game at half by 10 points. * The Bills have not trailed at halftime in any game this season. The Bills have out gained their opponents in every game this season.

It's not abut justifying the Bills loss but placing it into proper perspective.

Thank goodness we have the tiebreaker with Miami then.

So did the Dolphins. But you're looking at the losses with the belief that the Bills are a better team then the Ravens and so their loss was more surprising. I also share this belief but to a neutral person who doesn't root for the Bills or Ravens the loss to the Jaguars and the Ravens loss to Miami look equally bad and unexpected. Just like when I saw that Denver led Dallas in the 4th 30 - 0 I almost fell out of my chair.

I believe he was referring to the fact that you said Miami was clearly better then the Jaguars yet Jacksonville beat them head to head. My rankings of stinkeroo looses this year: 1) Ravens lose to the Dolphins by 2 scores 2) The Jets beat the Titans with Henry 3) The Bills self destruct in Jacksonville 4) The Broncos take a 30 - 0 lead on Dallas early in the 4th quarter in Dallas

They are? They're both 2 - 7 and Jacksonville beat Miami. And the Bills lost by 3 while the Ravens lost by 12. Now don't get me wrong - the Bills loss was terrible but it was NOT the worst loss of the season. IMO tonight's loss by the Ravens was. And I would argue that Denver destroying Dallas at home was pretty bad to.

Even the refs couldn't get Baltimore over the hump when the Ravens forgot to cover a receiver.

Yea this game puts the Bills loss into perspective a bit. IMO the Raven loss tonight to Miami was worse then the Bills loss to Jacksonville. The Ravens just lost by two scores and didn't score a TD until less then 5 minutes were left in the game. And unlike the Bills, who haven't been blown out this season, the Ravens were crushed by the Bengals.

My goodness NFL officiating is corrupt.

Why is Aikman rooting for the Ravens?

And we did figure it out late in the 3rd quarter and scored 23 points and moved up and down the field.

Yep. The AFC is wide open.

So we have a ticky tacky holding call on Miami that essentially dooms any chance that they will score the TD. Then they don't throw a flag on a pretty obvious PI the next play. Good old NFL officiating.

The difference in O-line performance is striking.

I think we hammer them if we only commit one PF and not five. I get that you're going to get holding calls and illegal motion calls. But when you go well over 100 yards in penalties AND are minus two in TO's you will lose most games against anyone. BTW those PF penalties led directly to at east 3 Jaguar points and probably robbed the Bills of two FG's. If we don't have so many PF's we win this game like we beat the Jets at NY last year (18 - 10; didn't score a TD).

This is an astonishing stat from the D&C: ‘When Allen hands off to Devin Singletary or Zack Moss, the results have generally been less than inspiring. The Bills have 22 runs of at least 10 yards this season, and Singletary and Moss have just nine combined, while Allen has 12 and Mitchell Trubisky one.’ When you think of how defenses are playing us the fact that Moss & Sngeterry have only broke 9 runs of at least 10 yards combined over 8 games is depressing. I would argue that there have been some 5 - 8 yard runs that should have gone for more then 10 yards as there were holes open. Our RB's rarely break tackles, make defenders miss or accelerate away from LB's.
