According to the playoff prediction machines, the outcome of this game has virtually no impact on the Bills playoff chances. It would seem a KC win would help, but I think the fact we have the tiebreaker against KC makes a KC loss the same as a Chargers loss. Of course depending on all the games in the future, a particular outcome may turn out to matter, but you don't know it now.

It's good. My grandson Wyatt Joseph arrived this morning, and I feel very Zen-like. I'm like an alcoholic who thinks he can get by with one drink. We shall see.

We beat Miami. They were 1-0 in game 1.

I have been a Bills fan for over 50 years. I have dim memories of Jack Kemp, Billy Shaw and Cookie Gilchrist. I remember my Dad being furious for trading away Daryl Lamonica. I was in a bad marriage in 1981 when the Bills performed a miracle with a Hail Mary against the Pats and it cheered me up when I was in a really bad place. Joe Ferguson limping in San Diego. I remember it all. I have lived in Washington DC for 40 years. My daughter who is 32 and about to give us our first grandchild is an avid Bills fan even thought she grew up here. And my wife of 35 years (second time being the charm) is one too even though she is from down here too. And collectively we all remember the good and the bad since the 1990s, bickering Bills, four consecutive Super Bowls, the drought, etc., etc. I had season tix from 2002 until 2016. Bought Club Seats to help keep the team in Buffalo. Gave them up because of Rex Ryan. I just want to say that I don't think I can do this anymore. The pain of being a Bills fan is just too great. And being the Washington Generals to the Pats for over 20 years, and now again, is just too much. So I am passing the torch to you younger folks. I hope it goes better for you. I will try and focus on other pursuits. After all it is only a game, one the Bills have played very poorly for over 50 years . And even the Cubs and Red Sox finally one. It can happen to you. And I have enjoyed your company. It has been group therapy here for nearly 25 years. And to all the trolls and Pats fans on this board. If your intent was to make a long suffering Bills fan even more miserable, you have succeeded. Enjoy the good fortune you have, and the additional misery you have placed on others. I hope it makes you smile. Be careful out there! 🙂

They are awful

Into the wind, the punts are going 15 yards at most.

It is in the footnote/addendum.

Trying to avoid muffs?

Could be

Hyde I'd guess

Covid IR the same. That is what Duggar is on. He is not on the active roster

There would be four Division leaders with 8-4 records. Check the multi-team tiebreakers. Loss to Titans and win over Chiefs will only factor in once two other teams have been seeded one and two.

2!!!

TD!!!

Why would Chargers go for 2 when 1 gives them a two score lead? Clearly I do not understand analytics.

To quote Judge Chamberlain Haller-- "u on drugs?"

For Buffalo on a December evening, it looks practically balmy. Mac Jones has not played in this kind of weather, so I think this is just about perfect. 9 in the box and let him make plays.

Great article by Kelly. Captures this board to a tee.

BB is 63-75 without Brady, including 1-1 in the playoffs. This stuff about the next 10 years of Pats dominance while BB turns 80 is silly. Let's see how this season finishes first before BB and Mac are anointed the chosen ones. For now it is just a media meme.

Not until Wednesday. McDermott gave them 5 days off.

The Bills have infrequently had their A game this year. They are due. If they bring their A game, they win. Belichick has done a great job with the Pats this year, maybe his best coaching ever given his losing record without Brady. But watching the game carefully, the Pats are highly choreographed. Jones arm strength is average at best, and on the rare throws over 10 yards, he typically hits only when his man is wide open. Pats have not been thrown off their choreography in this 6 game winning streak. An early punch in the mouth and making them improvise will be the key.

Prediction-- winner of the AFCE will be the one seed. Really bold.🙂

Done.

Who could possibly look past this game? Winner almost certainly will win the Division, especially if Bills win.

Allen choke on a drumstick?
