For as bad as some think the Bills are...they lead the NFL in point differential by quite a bit

[BuffaloRebound]

Bills beat the Pats this week and we’re right in line for the 2 or 3 seed.  Kind of amazing when you consider an 0-5 record in 1 score games.

Agree...but that is not good come playoff time...a lot of those are one score games where the team with the ball last has a chance to win.

It's not just the Bills that are underestimated on here week to week.  How many times did we read that the Colts suck or the Pats suck or that the whole AFC sucks.  Good teams lose games as well.  Bucs got shut out last night.  We will hear about how they suck.  This is all nonsense.

I saw that while looking at the standings last night and it got me thinking: has the number 1 point differential team over the entire season ever missed the playoffs?

One would be that anyone not cleared by the original start time for the game would be ineligible to play.

if that was the policy they wouldn’t move the game to Tuesday….

moving the game is under the guise of protecting players from being infected from an active outbreak where people have not shown as positive yet but they expect them to over the upcoming days.  If it was to help teams get players back they wouldn't have forced Denver to play with no QB last year.

there was no vaccine last year.  they moved this weeks games so teams can get guys back on the roster, not to protect players.  They aren't even testing vaccinated players anymore.

 

Baker out--huge bonus for the Raiders.

If that's truly it, it doesn't really make sense then because it goes against everything they have publicly stated for the past year and a half.

 

Baker and Keenum out, who is their backup.  Mullens starting...while he hasn't always played great, he is capable of winning in a single game...he played fairly well against the Bills last year and threw for over 300 yards and 3 TDs.  Also had a 300+ yard game against the Giants and a near 300 yard game against the Packers last year.

they announced the no testing change a few days ago.

If Cleveland wins tonight it would be a minor miracle while fielding a team of replacement players. Plus their remaining schedule after tonight  is brutal and they might not win another game...Packers, Ravens, Bengals.

Exactly why it's irrelevant like I said

Many think the team isn't good and yet we lead the NFL with a +151 point differential, 11 more than the second place Patriots and 47 more than the 3rd place Cowboys.

 

It's hard to reconcile these two things.

 

 

 

It's crazy that the difference between the 7th seed (bills) and the 1 seed (kc) is 2 games. And then you have a bunch of teams "in the hunt" at 7 or 8 wins. I can't remember a year where there were so many teams with such similar records in the afc

It's the most teams ever with 6 or more wins at this stage of the season coming into this week's games...I think they said it was 24 teams. Unfortunately they seem to be stacked in the AFC with the NFC only having about 3 or 4 really good teams and then a bunch of mediocre ones. Bills would be a shoe in for the playoffs there.
