If the Texans didn't drop a couple of easy interceptions, you might be thinking otherwise.

Well, so much for that.

I can see why the penalty was called, even though it sucks for the Lions. That's just how it goes. There really is no excuse for the way they defended the final play.

Chicago won't be interested in getting rid of Cutler. He's really starting to settle down in that offense.

Schwartz's defense crumped in the big key games last year just as much as Rex's defense has this year.

So much awesome.

Big week...everything on the line...playoffs at stake...everyone on the edge of their seats... I'm expecting them to lay an egg, as usual.

Are there many scenarios where we get in if we lose to KC but beat Houston?

Not really, since we play #6 and #7 the next two weeks, so we can change that in a hurry. Unfortunately, we probably won't.

Sorry if this was asked elsewhere and I missed it... When the Bills took over for the final drive, there was the pass to Woods which came close to a first down. It was called a first down on the field. I was livid because the Bills seemed like they were milling around rather than getting ready to snap the ball quickly, but after more than 10-12 seconds ran off the clock, there was a stoppage so the refs could review the play to see if he really got the first down, and it was reversed. However, we didn't get any of that time back. Why is that? It seems like if the refs want to review a play, they should decide right away, or if they don't, at least put the time back on the clock to the end of the previous play. Were we penalized because the refs took that long to decide that they wanted to review the spot/first down call?

1. I learned that Edelman and Lewis really are that important to the Pats***. I had my doubts. I thought they would be fine with Gronk and Amendola and the others, but it was clear even before Amendola went out that they were struggling. If Amendola is out for any significant period of time, they are in some trouble. 2. I learned that the Pats*** offensive line is a bigger problem than I realized. Again, I had my doubts. I didn't think the Bills DL would dominate they way they did, which is kinda sad to say, actually. The Broncos defense must be licking their chops. 3. I love McKelvin's heart, but I learned he should never return another punt again. It's been said enough times already. Problem is, I don't know who should. Definitely not Moore. Maybe Woods? 4. I learned that Hogan is actually pretty good as a third receiver. I just wish he would fall forward instead of sideways when he has the ball. 5. Speaking of sideways, the power sweep for the TD was a thing of beauty. However, I learned that someone actually has to tell our offensive coordinator that it's a bad idea to run sideways on a power sweep when all you need is six inches straight ahead. 6. I learned once and for all that we absolutely have to re-sign Glenn, after learning once and for all that Seantrel Henderson is a huge liability. I had my suspicions that we might let Glenn walk and move Seantrel over to the left side and let Kujo take over on the right. Please, don't do it. 7. I learned that I no longer understand anything about NFL rules.

Kevin @KevinMassare The Bills are 89% likely to make the playoffs if they can beat NE/KC next week. Crazy stat according to Sports Club Stats.

Personally, I see us playing a perfect first half and go up on them by 21. Then in the second half, with a chance to go up even more, we commit a critical turnover, and the Pats*** turn around and score, which leads to a snowballing series of second half failures until the Pats*** take the lead with less than two minutes left. Then, with one last chance, the Bills offense turns into the Three Stooges and can't get a single first down to lose it. Whew, that feels better.

I wish there was a way we could take away Brady.

I am nearly at that point myself. Shame, because I do want to support the business.

Have to give him credit for the two SB wins over Belicheck, but I may never get over the Bledsoe "naked bootleg" call that basically lost the game against the Pats***. Quite possibly the worst play call I have ever seen in my life.

The Pats*** offense did just fine last week without Edelman or Lewis.

Of course, the Pats*** are the #2 passing offense...

I always thought of her as "Nicole Kidman lite".

In other news, we're the #2 rushing offense in the league right now.

Those were not the words of a happy man.

Sitting in the #6 spot with 7 games to play, the Bills are in position to control their own destiny and capture a playoff spot. We all know how that's turned out before, but will 2015 somehow be different? I think most of us would agree the next three games will probably determine the Bills fate. Maybe not so much the Pats*** game, but certainly the KC and Houston games. It's time to put up or shut up. So, what do you think will happen? Where will the Bills be sitting at the end of the day on December 6th?

Enjoy it while ya got it. Next week will be very different.

Amazing how we keep getting sucked back into it like this.
