Keep Beasley.

Give Allen protection and he will be more than fine.

Some is his own doing.  Josh loves to hold that ball.

Are the Jets going to tank? Obviously, they should, but whether they will or not is an open question.

 

Jets: 4-12

Houston: 4-12

Giants: 4-12

Carolina: 5-11

 

Presently, the Jets are slated for 4th overall, but if they win and everyone else loses I think they drop to 6th. If they lose, they stay at 4 with the slight possibility of moving up (the Giants could conceivably beat Washington, who also should strive to lose). They already have the seventh pick (from Seattle). If I'm the Jets, I'm treating the 2022 draft as a bonanza and ensuring that the Giants aren't ahead in the draft order (the Giants currently have the #5 and #8 pick). 

 

I know, I know - coaches always try to win. But it's dumb in this instance. This season is a lost cause.

Joe Burrow not playing Sunday. Bengals likely resting other starters as well.

 

Three seed looking increasingly likely.

Interesting synopsis; makes sense.

not that i'm for dodging teams or anything, but i think i would much rather have to play in tenn round 2 as opposed to heading right into arrowhead again.

Totally. KC is supremely battle tested in the playoffs.

right. sorta cowardly on my end, but i would like for them to have as many chances to be eliminated as possible until we have to go there. lol.

 

3 seed locks us into arrowhead most likely where the 4 seed means another chance at tenn. i like that matchup better, even with henry back.

A battle of the backup QBs in that game with Baker out too, so it's a toss up.

Holy crap, 30 years! I was at that game! A mere 5th grader, hooked for life as a Bills fan. Bills over Jets.

You DO NOT want to see the Colts in Round 1 under any circumstance. Worst AFC matchup for the Bills.

 

Go Jets! (I'm serious). Bills need to lose this game now.

 

Going on the road to face the Pats or Bengals >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Staying at home to face the Colts.

 

Avoid. The. Colts.

Ridiculous.

I don't care, if we get matched up with the Colts then bring it. I'm confident the Bills would come into that matchup determined and ready to settle a score.

If the Bills are a Super Bowl championship caliber team then they will have to go thru these teams anyway. Colts, Titans, Bengals, Chiefs, Packers, Bucs, Rams or whoever just bring it. I don't care who the Bills play. Its going to be a tough game no matter what. Going to have to win 4 very tough games starting WC weekend so I can't wait to see how the Bills do.

Awful take.  The last thing this Bills team needs is another loss to a POS team like the Jets, no matter the circumstances.  Keep the winning culture going.

It's a brutal matchup because the Colts "run-first, grind the clock, and control the game" mentality/philosophy in a 1-game do-or-die scenario is scary for a Pass-First Offense that puts so much pressure on its QB. The physicality of the Colts in a 1-game playoff can force the opposing QB (in this case, Josh) to press and make mistakes. Then once the Colts get ahead of the sticks, it's game over. They just run, run, pass when they need to, stay on the field, eat up clock, etc.

 

I've seen it first hand with the 2007 and 2011 Giants under Tom Coughlin who had the same philosophy. They were built to upset Passing teams in the postseason.

 

You DO NOT want to see the Colts in Round 1 under any circumstance. The Bills are better off losing in Week 18 to the Jets.

You haven't actually watched Carson Wentz play much lately, have you?

Considering his low sack % against the percent he faces pressure, it is more appropriately described as "going through his progressions"

He threw for 57 yards against the Pats!  That's a Tyrod game.

Agree w/ the sentiment that we should focus on reloading both lines this off-season.

 

But also would not mind drafting a twitchy waterbug burner type WR in rounds 3-5 to compete w/ McKenzie & Stevenson and eventually help replace Beasley. 
 

Give Davis all Sanders’ reps/snaps.
