They have at Dallas in the middle game, at NO in the late game, and at Detroit in the early game. Only thing left for them to do on Thanksgiving is play the late game at home.

Back when McBeane got hired they interviewed Terry and asked him who is in charge. Terry said both men report to him. When it comes to practices, managing the game and everything that goes with the season McDermott is in charge since he is the HC. Beane can offer his advice/opinion, but McDermott has the final say. But the offseason stuff with the draft, FA, salary cap that is Beane responsibility. McDermott can offer his opinion, but Beane has the final say according to TP.

The four remaining teams still alive to win a Super Bowl... CIN, KC, PHIL, SF. The Bills play three of them on the road next year (CIN, KC, PHIL). Maybe the Bills get the opening primetime game again like they did last year at LAR. My guess is 5. SNF - Dallas at Buffalo MNF - Buffalo at Miami - at least I hope so. A night game at Miami means no sun. TNF - Jets at Buffalo SNF - Buffalo at CIN or KC MNF - Giants at Buffalo

Given our cap situation I think improvement will come mostly thru the draft. I don't expect the Bills to be players in FA this year. At least no big-time signings that move the needle. I would focus on the OL if I were Beane. The Bills need to do a much better job in pass protection and running the ball. A better stronger OL will help do that. Hopefully they get tougher as well. It was embarrassing watching the Bengals physically dominate on both sides of the ball. Von coming back should help the DL but we need to upgrade the OL.

If he does, then he ends up in Minnesota. I am sure Packers fans would love to see that

From the sounds of it the Bills won't be major players in FA. Have to hope Beane hits a HR in this upcoming draft.

If he can only do one thing this offseason, I hope it's the bolded part of your post. Need a better run game and to protect Josh better. Von coming back should improve our pass rush.

Breece Hall will also be back. The way he was going he was the favorite to win offensive rookie of the year.

The Jets have a good defense and some pieces on offense. Hope this doesn't happen as they will be a big problem for the rest of the division.

GB is asking for two 1st Rd picks. That is a lot to give up for a 40-year-old. Rumors are starting about Rodgers and the Jets.

For the record I don't think McDermott is getting fired. But if he did what makes you think the Bills go back to being lousy. The Bills job would be a very attractive job. One of the best QB's in the league, a winning team over these last 5 years. You have a new stadium in a few years. I don't know who they would hire. That would be up to Pegula/Beane assuming he also doesn't get fired. This is all meaningless anyway because McDermott isn't getting fired this offseason.

Nobody knows what would have happened if the Ravens score. If I remember correctly, it was 17-17 midway thru the 4th quarter. If they don't turn it over the Ravens at worst go up 20-17. The Ravens D held the Bengals to two first downs in the 2nd half. They were dominating the Bengals offense at that point. Who knows how it plays out, but the Bengals would have been in danger of losing. Give the Bengals D credit for making a big play and winning the game.

Baltimore has a great front office. They draft and develop their players well. When was the last time the Ravens were bad. As for Watson he missed a lot of time and only played towards the end of the season. With a full offseason, preseason and playing starting week 1 then we will see if he regains his old form. The Steelers are one of those teams that never stay down too long. Like the Ravens they have a good front office and are run well. The Bengals are the best in the division, but they will be challenged. The North is a very tough division.

Giants still have to sign Jones. He played well for them this year. He won't get Mahomes/Allen money, but he should get a nice contract.

I live here in NJ and the speculations/rumors with the NY media is the Jets are the favorite to get LJ if he doesn't resign with the Ravens. Have to see how it plays out. They also mention Rodgers, but I think that is wishful thinking with the fans/media. He would be better off staying in the NFC as opposed to having to deal with Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert, Lawrence. The only elite level QB in the NFC now is Hurts.

I don't think we would have beaten SF. Their defense against the Bills OL. Allen would be running for his life all game. The Bills defense trying to stop Deebo, CMC etc etc. Bad matchup for the Bills against the 49ers IMHO. The 49ers would do what the Bengals did and just out physical the Bills on both sides of the ball.

The Bengals will have to battle it out just to win the North. All 4 teams hate one another. If LJ resigns with the Ravens, then they can certainly beat the Bengals. They match up well with them. They almost beat them in CIN with a backup QB. Say what you want about Watson being a POS but if he regains his old form then he is a very good QB. Combine that with the Browns running game and their defense then they are another team that will give the Bengals a hard time. Battle of Ohio is usually a hard-fought game. While the Steelers are trying to build their team with Pickett, they still have a good defense. They can also give the Bengals a hard time. The games between these teams are not only physical but sometimes dirty. The rivalries in this division are more intense than the ones in the AFCE.

I think the Eagles beat them this weekend. My pick for the SB is Eagles vs Bengals.

Beane is the one who should be held accountable for the roster. He better address the lines this offseason especially the OL.

Beane and McDermott aren't going anywhere. Frazier should be gone. Dorsey probably gets another year.

They will probably win the division again but the Dolphins and Jets (if they get a QB) might challenge them. Road games at KC, CIN, PHIL will be tough. DAL at home will also be a challenge. I hope Beane addresses the lines on both sides of the ball. The Bills need to get tougher and more physical with the OL/DL. Watching the Bengals physically dominate the Bills at LOS was painful to watch.
