Reading the column about Shavers TD and 13 players scored TD's and comment from Allen "We’ve got another week to try to get one more" makes me think they will try and get someone else. But who is left other than a lineman?? So could see if they get close to goal line, trying some pass to lineman?? The only other guys left is Reggie Gilliam and Davidson, but believe he's used up his 3 callups? I suppose there's always Trubisky

It would be interesting to check how many of these posts only predicted 7 to 9 wins, but now saying if Bills don't win SB, they should fire McD.

I've been called an eternal optimist by most of my friends and family. I know this is going to be an interesting year. We've lost so many good (and bad) players, many people feel like this is sort of a rebuilding year, and there are several more questions than answers going into this season. That said, I'm still gonna go with 13 wins,
with the 4 losses coming to: @Ravens, @Texans, @Seahawks, and @Patriots in the last game of the season, as Buffalo has already clinched the division and the #1 seed, so they will rest the starters.
Can't help it. it's in my blood.... 13-4
GO BILLS!
You could be pretty darn close

Yes i believe that the D line will be a priority this draft and as usual Beane will bring in some late round finds for the back end of the D i feel the offense is pretty much set and they will bring back some of those signed for 1 year but it's been apparent that the D is the weakness on this team .
But try telling that to some here they would rather fire McD and start all over again rather than build from here while continuing to win while doing it .
Makes little to NO sense at all !!
The Bills have had believe the 2nd best record in the league the past 5 years, 4 years in a row the #2 seed. Looking at it statistically the odds of them replacing McD and even being close to as good is very low as just little room to improve but a lot of room to get worse.

McDermott isn't getting fired even if we got blown out in the wild card round. So, I hope your fingers don't hurt from typing all that. Because it was a waste of time
8 hours ago, Big Blitz said:I’m sorry but there is way more pressure on John Harbaugh than what were the low expectations of McD, this team, and its remade defense minus Milano coming in.
Agree, It would be interesting to go back and see, did Cowherd even predict the Bills to make the playoffs, believe he did? I do recall many in the media did not have them making it. This year the only problem McD has is the team has over achieved. This was a retool year. They were a bit lucky in that 3 teams they played this year who were supposed to be good were terrible, Jets, Dolphins, and 49r's so that gave them 5 pretty easy wins which helped. But they really weren't expected to be this good so really doubtful he is even close to getting fired.
I do think the defense will get a pretty substantial makeover particularly on the line. Groot will be back along with Oliver and probably AJ along with carter and Soliman. But see them bringing in the best edge rusher available and maybe also a true 1 nose DT

I could be wrong but I don't think the nature of the 17th game has been finalized as of yet. No guarantee that it will be Philly.
No it is Eagles at Buffalo is set. It will always be against the team in the same position in the standing and the division chosen isa the one that you played against 2 seasons prior so for 2025 would be the 2023 NFC division which was the east. This year we played Detroit on the road so mean we get the 9th home game for 2025. But is possible it's an international game, can't rule that out totally. Though maybe playing one in 2023 rules us out??

NOT CORRECT
BUF at PHilly next year using the same formula
17 game format playing alternating nfc placement game
2021 host east
2022 at west
2023 host south
2024 at north
2026 at east
2027 host west
2028 at south
2029 host north
over %8 years, 2 full division meetings of home and road, and H and R against each placement games
this balances it out just like with placement games in afc
2021 all south, north, at west
2022 all north, south at west,
2023 all west , south, at north
2024 all south, west, at north
2025 all north, west at south
2026 all west , north, at south
2027-2032 cycle would repeat
over 6 years you have 2 full divisions( H and R) , 2H and 2R placement
if/ when they go to 18 games they could change things around placement games
Think you're looking at 2026?? For some reason 2025 was skipped. We played the "odd" one off NFC game this year at Detroit on the road, so next year Bills get the 9th home game so game would be in buffalo.
Looking at that think they are all off by one row?? What that should have stated was 2025 host East, 2026 at west, 2027 host south, 2028 at north. But that doesn't make sense either as then a repeat every 4 years. in 2021 we hosted NFC west Dallas and in 2022 we went to NFC west Rams. Could 2025 be some one off thing, or after 4 years they flip so for 2025 Bills will have two years in a row with 9 away games?? But in 2028 and 2029 will have 9 home games two years in a row.
Well am certain playing Eagles, where??

In Coleman's defense the first drop was a scramble drill sideline coming back to the ball drop that was probably 25 yards downfield and the second was an RPO slant that looked like a bad drop but on replay one of the defenders actually tipped it and it was wobbling kind of funny. Both hit him in the hands so they were drops but not easy catches.
True to often you read posts here, "it hit him in the hands" so that's a bad drop regardless of how hard of a catch it really was.

I think they will let Allen start, play one series and hand the ball off a few times. The only downside I do see is likely they start Mitch, what if he were to get hurt, they'd then have to bring Josh back in, believe in Q4 you can play your 3rd QB who's not officially part of the active roster?? (that rule has changed so many times not certain what it is these days) Would they make the 3rd string QB active just to be safe and short change a roster spot someplace else, maybe Cook sits?

Even though Babich and McD have worked together a long time i feel last years D was much better when McD was calling it ! I think Babich has a lot more to learn he isn't close to what the Bills need in that position .
Or maybe it was because McD was calling a defense including Hyde, Poyer, White, & Milano. The defense certainly was rebuilt more this year than offense.
Do think most FA signings and high draft picks will be on the defensive side

JA17, per the usual
Rousseau
Oliver
Cooper
Allen didn't have great stats today, but was a good part due to all the drops. Coleman and Shakir each had 2 I think, Cooper 1. If I recall Coleman also had a great catch called back on penalty?

easy answer - KC@Denver. Even if KC is playing backups, Denver will need the win to make the playoffs
6 hours ago, TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th said:But then you essentially give kansas city the ability to pick and choose who makes the playoffs. If they see Cincinnati waiting in the wings they may intentionally let Denver win.
Agree that's not the the game to pick as then the other games potentially become meaningless. If Vikes win today the Saturday night game would be a good choice as no other game impacted by it.
Could see the Bills playing Saturday only because don't see another game where the single game alone determines anything. So might as well put a good draw in the other Saturday game and could set that up for the following Saturday the Bills play so they get an extra day of rest out of it. Or they pick some other game with teams that draw well, but have no playoff implications

True but to create a post stating the coach should be fired for winning the game is rather stupid regardless of the ramifications. Even if the coach is trying to lose, the players want to win as some (like the coach) have no idea if they will even be playing in the NFL ever again.

My God Bishop was bad today. Wrong angles in run support. Late to recognise plays in the short passing game. Beaten for the Conkin TD. He is a loooong way off ready.
I never thought I'd say this.... we need Damar Hamlin back.
4 minutes ago, No_Matter_What said:Yeah I just had the same comment in post game thread. Bishop's play is the only negative today. Unfortunately, he is not getting better so far.
He made some good hits, think the problem is he's better suited for strong safety. Maybe they could trade Rapp and sign a free agent FS??
On other hand many players make marked improvement from year 1 to year 2 so who knows?? When you factor in he missed most of training camp, it could just as easily happen. As McD said early on, safety in the Bills defense takes time to learn.

The Giants’ victory today was a fireable offense for Daboll — totally selfish, and I mean that. It calls to mind the Jets beating the Rams in 2020, which caused them to lose Trevor Lawrence for Zach Wilson.
Are the Patriots a smarter organization than the Giants?Yes he should have went out and coached to lose! Brilliant idea!!

Woa Tua is inactive today. They had an outside chance of getting in but that probably kills it for sure.
Is Richardson also inactive? Read there was a good chance he would be??

No, best finish was 14-2 and 13-3 with Jags and Titans unless someone prior to NFL merger.
Kind of funny Jags and Titans lately can't even get 13 wins between them!

San Francisco did it one of their SB years with Montana.
No but the OP's point was we should have been 16-1 along with KC and since we beat them we'd have had the #1 seed. So my question was if both Bills and KC, has that ever happened before where 2 teams in same season finished with one loss. I'll accept in the "old days" 2 teams finish 13-1 or more recent 15-1, Hell I'll even go way back ad say 11-1. Has any of these scenarios ever happened?

Most likely scenario….Denver beats KC’s backups and clinch the 7th.
Second most likely……Denver loses to KC and the Colts win tomorrow against the Giants then at home against the Jaguars to clinch 7th.
Third most likely…..Denver loses to KC, the Colts drop a game, and the Fish beat the Browns and Jets to clinch the 7th spot.
4th most likely…..Denver loses to KC, the Colts and Fish drop 1 and the Bengals beat the Steelers to clinch the 7th.
Steelers have alot of incentive to win next week too, if they lose and Chargers win, appears Chargers would get 5th seed and game at Houston, and Steelers go to Balt, or possibly Buffalo (if Bills lose last 2). Chargers play at Vegas and Raiders would probably just as soon lose to get better draft pick. If Denver won and Pitt loses, maybe even drop to 7th so Steeler's will want to win.

Has there ever been teams with only one loss in a season, I'm guessing no.

Recall reading an article after last season talking about Bernard and it said he made many flash plays that got him in the spotlight, made player of the week if I recall, but also had many mistakes, over pursues, etc. Article I read recently kind of stated the same.
So this year getting all of the same minus the flash plays.

Imo there is no second round if we draw Bengals in the wildcard
We need to get out of the 2seed at all costs
So if Chargers and Bronco's win this week, Bengals are out. Even assuming Bengals beat Denver, they still need ot be Pitt following week and Bronco;s have to lose to KC who will likely be resting many. Plus I think Indy needs to lose one of last two and they play Giants, and Jax, if they win both they'd make it over Bengals
On the other hand dropping out of 2 seed could likely mean a 2nd round game at Balt.
I'd add too if Bengals are such a scary match, KC may feel the same so little incentive for them to beat Denver week 18. Let Denver win and knock out Bengals.
Now that the 53 is set, predict the Bills win total
in The Stadium Wall

Yes the offense has been good, but not the defense and that was biggest reason many didn't think the team would do that well this year with all the changes in personal mainly on the defensive side. Fire McD and highly likely the team will be worse off
