What I find funny is you go to Miami boards and they are all talking about how they are about to lose the division becuase - as they say - they are paper tigers and they know it.
they will lose out
Drew, it still stuns me that even though their team is 10-4 and have the Bills coming up at home the Bills live absolutely, positively rent free in their heads.
Forgive me, but their stress over the Bills is like nectar or ambrosia to me. It's just so good and if the Bills take care of their own business we get to so wonderfully enjoy this everyday for the next 10 days leading up to the glory of Dolphins week with the hopes of the division still being on the line.
Man, it has already been like Christmas since they lost to the Titans.
Go Bills!

Is there a night game the last Sunday of the season? As I recall they set up the timing of games so no one gets an advantage in knowing what they need to do to get in. But my memory could be fading. 😀
Yes, there should be.
Detroit and Green Bay last year, btw.

If the Bills lose to an inferior team (Chargers or Pats) yet again, then I won't sweat not making the playoffs. In my view they would totally not deserve a berth and would be a fraudulent good team.
If they beat those two clubs, and lose to Miami in a defacto playoff game...and still not get in then so be it. The early losses sunk them and it would always be "what could have been"
Zow, this is the take. I concur.
BTW, if we get to the final game of the season and win, BUT Miami goes 2-0 over the next two weeks with wins over Baltimore and Dallas, guess what...they deserved the division then. Nothing we can do about it after the fact.

Well…it seems like I can get it. I may have to test it out first with the early game, but it allowed the search and it allowed me to save the game to my stuff.

Go out to a local watering hole man …. Have an adult beverage, bond with like minded fans … enjoy life my friend
personally, I don’t mind paying (I do, but whatever) either for an antenna (lost my last one) or for peacock premium plus (briefly).I have a young child, though, and I really don’t want to drag her out to a bar at close to her beer time to watch her Bills.

okay, just wanted to quickly point out something
(1) apparently peacock has a wild card game this year. i didn't even realize that until reading this thread.
(2) lots of people are recommending to buy peacock for the Bills game and then cancel right afterwards.
if you buy peacock today, your month subscription would cover the wild-card game (which very well may involve the Bills). wild card weekend is Jan 13-15.
i'd illegally stream both, but if you're going to buy peacock, then NO, don't cancel it right after Saturday.
Thank you, Harry. Do you need to buy premium plus ($11.99) to get the game or will the base subscription ($5.99) cover it?
-
Well as it turns out I only pay for premium not premium plus (jerks) so I don’t get wgrz, but I do get nbc sports, nbc now, etc.
the question now being, will I still get the game or do I have to pay for premium plus (jerks again)?

I am one of those few people who just plain had a peacock subscription before all of this that I kind of forgot about.
So...this is probably not the weekend that I am canceling.

This is going to be a major get right game for Gabe Davis— guarantee it. I think we will see the passing game go nuts.
Boy, Miyagi…8 receptions for 161 yards and a td in his last five games and 6 for 105 and a td were against Philly, which means he has 8 more receptions the last five games than Debbie Reynolds who died in 2016.
I hope you are right for the playoff push.
Go Bills!

Or the Dolphins could go 0-3 and we win the division
Agreed, but I referenced the Dolphins first in my post. If they go 2-0 (granted, that’s tough) the East is there’s. Heck, even they just go 1-2 with a loss to us does it to give us the division.
Bills/Miami is coming close to almost being assured to be flexed.
-
The Bills need this game badly…no, not just the win.
I thinking they badly need just a calm, 74 degrees, dry and climate controlled environment for the first time since…man, when was the last ideal or perfect weather game this team had?
I’m sure it would be a nice change for the players.

I don’t know how we won two in a row when we didn’t practice on our bye week.
Thank you, Cheese. That’s hilarious.

Agree... WE should have beaten Denver at home, NE, Eagles and the Jets on the road. The next two games may be easy but they have to go and compete and then hope for one loss from the Dolphins against the Cowboys or the Ravens.....Then that final game of teh season will be so meaningful.
Ganesh, crazy when you think that it is not impossible or even ridiculous to think that two out of the three teams in front of us (Colts, Bengals, Texans) can finish 11-6.
We could be the first 11 win team to miss the playoffs since…man, was it the Patriots who finished in second in the East and out the year Brady got injured 2008? I think so.
Edit: our team wins so much, but their history is that they just simply don’t treat each game as precious.
Minnesota last year, Jets last year and this year, Denver, Jags 2 years ago and this year, first Miami game last year.
Victory is there and then it just seems like, “meh, whatever. Long season.”

Was thinking today that the Bills early season injuries were a sort of blessing. They had many games to matriculate in the backups and they played like Matt who today? Beane did his job and got us a big body to replace Jones and Douglas to replace Tre. Dodson stepped up as well.
very respectfully, jag, I just can’t get there. Not when you lose an all pro difference making LB, a former all pro CB who was finally “back” and a space eating defensive lineman.
please know, I know exactly what you mean, but it is just we are still on the outside looking in and as of now just 5-5 (after two straight wins) since losing our guys in London.
Go Bills. -
We need the chiefs so badly, just in case Miami doesn’t lose until we play them.
we need them against the Bengals.
the colts could run the table, and the Bengals could, too, if they upend a chiefs’ team they are pretty good at upending.
crazy…I don’t want it to be the case, but for the first time I am considering that 11-6 may not get us in.

Before this weekend's games which includes three pivotal Saturday games, give me your 7 playoff teams in the AFC and their seedings.
Here is what I came up with using the ESPN Playoff Machine
1. Ravens 13-4 ( Finish 3-1 Beat Jags, Dolphins, Steelers. Lose to the 49ers)
2. Chiefs 11-6 (Finish 3-1 Beat Patriots, Raiders, Chargers. Lose to the Bengals)
3. Jaguars 11-6 (Finish 3-1 Beat the Bucs, Panthers, Titans. Lose to the Ravens)
4. Bills 10-7 (Finish 3-1 Beat the Chargers, Patriots, Dolphins. Lose to the Cowboys)
5. Broncos 11-6 (Finish 4-0 Beat Lions, Patriots, Raiders, Chargers)
6. Bengals 11-6 (Finish 4-0 Beat Vikings, Steelers, Chiefs, Browns)
7. Browns 10-7 (Finish 2-2 Beat the Bears, Jets. Lose to the Texans and Bengals)
Missing Out
Colts 9-8 (Finish 2-2. Lose to the Steelers and Texans. Beat the Raiders and Falcons)
Steelers 8-9 (Finish 1-3. Lose to the Benglas, Seahawks, Ravens. Beat the Colts)
Texans 10-7 (Finish 3-1. Lose to the Titans (Road). Beat the Browns, Titans (Home), Colts)
Dolphins 10-7 (Finish 1-3. Lose to the Ravens, Cowboys, Bills. Beat the Jets)
Initial thoughts.
1. Seems unlikely both the Bengals and Broncos will win out. I do think the Broncos have a good shot of winning out. For the Bengals, probably more realistic to have them finish 3-1 with a loss to the Chiefs or even 2-2 with losses to the Chiefs and Browns. In either scenario if I plug those results in and leave everything else the same Miami takes the 7th seed and the Bengals miss the playoffs.
2. If I leave everything the same but have the Bills beat the Cowboys but lose to the Dolphins, then the Bills miss the playoffs.
Thank you for the effort, Sammy, and I think there is a lot of good stuff in the above.
Let's all be clear, though, on how razor thin this is, because I believe if only one game in the Dolphins schedule is different, let's say they upset the Ravens, then the Bills go from division champion to all the way out of the playoffs.
We need to stack wins, and we need pretty much all of them, just in case.

I never wanted to believe it, but an Achilles is one of the worst injuries in the NFL, and he may have sunsetted from the NFL. I’m not quick to throw out a previous all pro, but how many catastrophic injuries can he survive?Guns, I try to be optimistic, but boy...and I am sorry to be that guy...it is just whether he can comeback and we all hope that he does but at what cost?
It is the fact that this is a hobbled guy that has a fairly large impact on your cap.
If you were to sign him or he was a young guy on a 3-4 million per deal, sure.
However, I believe he is $16 million plus on next year's cap and we are underwater already.
Are we going to bonus or frontload because we believe he is here long term? (sarcasm)
Again, I am sorry, but this is such a tough one.
Go Bills, but God bless Tre.

The more I think about the Douglas trade the more I like it.
Saves us from a gigantic hole at CB next year and was a good Tre replacement mid season.
Chan can you imagine? Honestly can you imagine if we did not have him?
Boy.

We have Douglas for one year because after '24 I think he is going to get pretty big money.
If Tre is gone and we have room maybe we pay.
I like him a lot.

Kenneth Davis in The Comeback Game.
Honestly, had a couple and one may have gone for about 30, if memory serves. I was there.*
(* BS you weren't there!**)
(** I have the best excuse that I was there and stayed. I was in a box and had almost limitless food. You couldn't get me to leave even if my parents (RIP) were having sex at the 50 yard line.***)
(*** They didn't. That is is just referenced for veracity purposes and suggesting that they did do it there is off the table.****)
(**** They might have done it on a table before. I was not there every time. I was just the result of once.)
Leonard Floyd - I appreciate you.

Leonard Floyd, I appreciate you, too.
Unfortunately, mrags, you are correct.
I don't even think we are going to be able to keep AJ. with our cap situation being as bad as it is.
So, we'll lose AJ and we'll lose Floyd, but due to the cap hit at least we get to keep Von...
