If you're playing law or averages - they're currently averaging 1 loss in 13 games. Losing 2 out of the 4 games - with the Browns and the coming off the rails Texans being 2 of those 4 games? I don't know how you can think it's not that unlikely. On top of that, we'd have to go 4-0. Is it impossible that it could happen? No. But is it even close to likely? I don't see it.

Even if we beat Detroit, it's still very slim. Chiefs have Browns, Texans (coming off beating the Jags by a field goal and a loss to the Titans), Steelers, and Broncos. They've lost once all season. Expecting them to lose half of their last four games seems pretty unlikely.

I mean, obviously. With a 2 game lead and only 4 games left - the odds that we're getting the 1 seed from Kansas City is EXTREMELY small. So in my mind, the question is really "would you take a guaranteed route to the AFC Championship game?". Of course.

This is a wild take. To the point where I was honestly puzzled that things didn't look better after Halftime. Teams being successful offensively in the first quarter or half and then having issues in the 2nd half, allowing us to re-take the lead and/or steamroll is pretty much the norm with this team.

All it takes is having a Hall of Fame Quarterback who is playing one of the best games of his entire career and lining up not one, but two Elite WR's - who are making unreal highlight reel grabs.

Saying Puka Nacua is "not that good" is absolutely ludicrous. In just a season and a half of NFL Football, he's accounted for 2,318 yards and 10 TD's. The guy was an All Pro last season as a Rookie. His 162 yards against us wasn't his highest or even his 2nd highest Receiving total in a single game in that only a year and a half of play. He's one of the best WR's in Football. Should we have fared better against him and made adjustments? Yes. But if you weren't concerned about him heading into this game and believe he's "not that good" - you must not pay much attention to the NFL outside of Buffalo Bills football.

True that he doesn't see the field as a Boundary CB unless there's an injury to Benford or Douglas as they're better players. But I don't think it's as "simple as that". When Douglas went down today - Ja'Marcus Ingram got the call. And Ingram has consistently taken more snaps than Elam coming off the bench. They don't think much of him as a player. They made an investment in him, has little to no trade value, and on average your Outside CB4 isn't going to be all that great to begin with. So for those reasons they've kept him around. But him not seeing the field is more than just he's not as good as Benford and Douglas. I'm not convinced that Elam is going to Start. He'll be active. But I think Ingram has surpassed him on the Depth Chart. And not just bc he plays Special Teams. He gets more off the bench Defensive snaps as well when they're both active.

The Timeout was inexcusable. No reason to do that. I didn't like the push call to begin with. At the Goal Line, you do that for a yard or less. Anything over that and you're pushing your luck there. The Accepted Penalty I don't see as egregious as everyone else. They weren't going to go for a Long Field Goal from there. They would have gone for it. With Ingram on either Nacua or Kupp and with the way their Offense was going and our Defense was, they'd have made the 4th and 7 just like they got 12 on 3rd and then converted from 4th and 5. The biggest coaching blunder was the push on a yard plus from the Goal Line and calling the timeout when it was unsuccessful. Yes, that was awful. Everything else was on terrible Secondary and Linebacker play and poor execution from the Special Teams on the Blocked Punt. If not for that Blocked Punt, Josh's MVP level play would have won the game - even with everything else going as it had.

Mack Hollins definitely outplaying his 2.6m deal.

I am so sick and tired of watching DB's let their man go for the person behind them. They are CONSISTENTLY finding the spot in between being let go and the next man coming up.

I think there's something to the Big Nickel thing. Which is why he got some work at Linebacker. I don't think he's usurped Nicholas Morrow though. I believe if he made a full time change to Linebacker, they'd have said LB Lewis Cine has been elevated.

2022 1st Round Pick of the Minnesota Vikings. Suffered a Compound Fracture in Week 4 of his Rookie year. Was released by the Vikings on August 27th of this year. Was originally announced to sign with the Jets Practice Squad, but changed his mind and signed with us. An interesting reclamation project. Must have looked pretty decent in Practice as i'd have assumed Kareem Jackson would be called up before him.

Yes, it's his first. I would have figured Kareem Jackson would get the call up first with his years of experience as a Starter on multiple different teams. Speaks well to how Lewis Cine has taken to the Defense since being signed. It would have been interesting if we signed Micah Hyde sooner to see if he'd have been called up instead or if they still went with Cine. I've been of the belief that Hyde is more of a player coach and that it's quite possible that they'd call up Cine or Jackson before him if they need to call up a Safety. This doesn't really answer that question as Hyde obviously isn't ready to go straight into the lineup this quickly.

You don't have to be a Doctor to know that if you have Neck Fusion surgery and miss multiple games when you return to recurring Stingers in the repaired Neck that your neck isn't in great shape. You don't have to do a physical to look at someone in front of a camera to see that someones lost weight. Even Dion Dawkins said he looked like he lost a lot of weight and was telling him he's gotta "get some burgers in him or something". It's possible that he starts conditioning and after a few weeks he'll be in game shape to be called upon if there's an injury. But with McDermott saying "not much" when asked about what his role will be and Hyde saying he has to adapt to his new role - with the shape he's in, it doesn't seem to me right now that this is much more than a player coach role and possibly getting him a ring. I'm not saying he definitively won't see the field. But the idea that he definitively will and will play a large role seems far off to me right now. But by all means, go ahead and treat this like you did Christian Kirksey's Practice Squad signing and balk at the idea that it might not be as big of a thing as you see it as.

I really don't think you're going to see him on the field. Reading between the lines of McDermott's presser and Hyde's presser, juxtaposed with his physical condition - I feel like this is just a move to roster him, possibly get him a ring for his service to the team, provide the team with some more morale in the locker room, and leadership on the sideline. His neck is not in playable shape. As one of the Twitter Doctor's have pointed out, getting stingers post Fusion surgery is GG's. He also looks to have lost a lot of weight since last season. It doesn't look like he's stayed in playing shape in the practically a year since being away from the squad. As i've said earlier - it really wouldn't shock me if you saw Kareem Jackson or Lewis Cine elevated before him if we need Safety help.

I think that's all it is. I would be shocked if he saw the field. Even if they need to elevate someone because of injury - it wouldn't surprise me if that person was Kareem Jackson or Lewis Cine first as they've been practicing with the team all season and Micah Hyde is coming off the couch having not been in a Football building for close to a year. Ultimately, I see this as simply putting him on the sidelines and the locker room as a Leader while they chase a ring and give him a ring.

Whatever happened, it CLEARLY wasn't what the headline is leading people to believe. There's absolutely no way that if it was what it was framed as that the Bills fan in question would get out in one piece.

This is a move to put someone who was integral to the teams growth on the sideline for a run and to put a locker room leader back in the locker room to bring even more morale for that run. Simple as that. If you think this is a move to replace Damar Hamlin in the Starting Lineup - I think you're setting yourself up for a disappointment.

My immediate thought is that this is either a lie caused to stir outrage and funding or a misunderstanding. I can easily see a situation where, passing each other on the stairs, a drunk person stumbled and bumped into the kid and they took a small spill. But even that as an accident would lead to people being like "wtf are you doing?". But as others have said, there's ZERO chance that a child is tumbling down stairs after being outright shoved and that Bills fan isn't attacked by multiple fans. I'm not a confrontational person. But best believe if I saw an adult fan shove a child down the stairs, i'm getting into it with that person. And I definitely wouldn't be the only one. The fact that it seems they were shoved down the stairs, nothing else happened, and they just left? That doesn't remotely add up. Especially when there doesn't seem to be any corroborating stories from others in the section.

Jon Gruden in a Bills Jersey is a weird sight. He was pretty close with his prediction.

He pancaked his guy so badly on Josh's last TD run. Single handedly opened that up for him. Looked like a damn pile driver.
