Even tackling early is being let go if it’s a “bang bang play”. Even if it makes the reception impossible because the DB was there early.

Winter night game. Gonna be a cold one.

Maybe true in rugby, but in football these guys are decked from head to toe in body armor and seem to lack basic self preservation.

Seems like a bad injury waiting to happen. Allen had been in the middle of a few of those and it makes me hold my breath.

It’s possible that at the end of the year the Bills will have beaten every AFC playoff team (splitting with the Dolphin and Jets). That would be pretty wild.

That doesn’t sound right. For example in the way you’ve set things up, a team with a 90% chance to win any given game would have a 100% chance of losing after 10 games (which obviously isn’t right). I think you are looking for the chance the team loses at least one game, which is one minus the chance the team wins all of the games. So 1 - 0.9^5 for 5 remaining games. Or about 40% chance you lose at least one game.

Bills schedule (like the circumstances surrounding when and where we play), the strength of schedule, and injuries have been ridiculous this year. If we can keep the #1 seed through all of that, it will have been a great accomplishment.

Bills are going to blow these guys out. The defense is way healthier. The offense was at the peak of their funk against the Jets too. They seem to have figured some things out and are taking a more measured and balanced approach now.

Allen isn’t gonna win it because the coaches are playing a lot more conservatively now once the Bills get up. Much more running and eating the clock when we get up 2 scores. At the beginning of the year Allen was still taking shots down the field in those scenarios and running up the score. I also think the defense is getting healthy and gonna lock it down in December. He just isn’t going to need to throw it all over the place for the Bills to win. If Hurts wins, it will be a team win. He’s a system QB for sure. Allen, Mahomes, and many other QBs are asked to do a lot more (even Lamar with a similar style).

I’ll still love Boyd forever

Bills seem to have changed their philosophy after the Vikings game (probably an edict from McDermott). Bills win that game if they just take the points.

Bengals D has been good. I would have taken the points. Hasn’t really been a shootout.

Why do the teams we need to lose keep playing garbage backup QBs? Also, Tua is so incredible how he can will a 12 yard slant into a 75 yard TD. That is why he’s MVP.

I can only remember 2 and they were both very recent. I’d bring back Saffold with the understanding that he might end up depth and not the starter.

If it’s true, then he’s never getting another call in his favor. Should have asked Jerry Hughes before calling out the refs publicly like this.

If you watch him run and jog after plays he has a really awkward stride. Maybe that’s just how he runs, but it doesn’t look right to me.

Look at his drops. Look at the number of interceptions when he’s targeted. He has those volume numbers because of the style of offense the Bills play. Eye test tells me his ankle is still hurt and he can’t get separation.

Our offensive line stunk in pass protection the whole game. Free rushers right off the snap (which led to a strip sack). Interior of the line got the job done in run blocking and that made the difference. WRs were also pretty pedestrian outside of Diggs (which is what Cosell said). We just happen to have the best player in the NFL, Josh Allen, which covered up for those deficiencies.

Our offensive line is terrible, so he has to help block. I think it’s really that simple.

I think Elam isn’t a great tackler, and the Bills knew the Pats were going to test that. This turned out to be correct, Pats players even said in postgame that the goal was to force Bills to tackle the Pats skill players. I think it was just a matchup thing. If we were playing a team with speed at receiver I bet he’d be out there.

Team is learning to close out games and not do stupid crap to let the other team back in it. Kind of boring to watch sometimes.

Phillips just didn’t want to run anymore, lol. Buddy, the game is over. Don’t kill yourself out there.

Look at that fat man run

One busted play, otherwise the Pats have done nothing all day.

I think they should have gone for it there. They are down 3 scores.
