To be clear and I understand your point let me ask you this. If I have a 200 yard race against a cheetah it is a 50/50 result because there are only 2 possible outcomes mathmatically. Am I correct? 

 

Yes. Either it catches you and kills you quickly, or it catches you and plays with you for a while before killing you.

 

It's about 50/50 which of those happens.

Nah, cheetahs are smallish and can't be expending the energy to play with their food. They kill quick. It's the bigger cats like the lions and tigers (and even a leopard now and then) that'll play with ya.

 

newcam2012 is right, the odds are more like 70/30.

Nobody in the history of the nfl has had the will of JA17 asides from maybe a couple players, like Brady and ray Lewis. 

he has the competitive will that Jordan had.

 

I think he’s going to go scorched earth against the bengals.

If the Bills lose and/or Josh has a terrible game, I'm not coming to TBD for the rest of the week.

They have a very good chance of beating Bridgewater and the Fins this week to set up a potential playoff berth for themselves as crazy as it sounds. If they beat the Fins then it's win and in for them against us.

 

This is so weird, but deep down I hope the Pats win to help keep the Fish out of the play-offs. Then again, all for naught as the Pats will loose next week in Buffalo.

I learned this years ago on this site.  This place becomes a Cuisinart.

Mahommes has it too

That has always been a wise policy.  It has, however, become almost as unbearable after wins.

I'm kind of amazed at some of the national media I'm hearing. I'm hearing a lot of Bengals predictions. Pretty much every soundbite I hear as to why the Bills won't make the super Bowl applies to them: they've won ugly the past few weeks. They've beat up on bad teams with the NFC South looking like a dumpster fire.

 

Am I missing something? Because I get that Burrow throws a pretty ball and Jamar Chase is hell on wheels. Is there some facet of their team we haven't seen. I know their receivers are good but I don't know if they are better than Hill, Waddle and Gisecki. Burrow is great but he's not as mobile as Mahommes and can be sacked. Their D is ok to good but the Ravens, Jets and Patriots is better. 

 

What am I not getting? 

In general, there is way too much respect being paid to the Bengals.  They have managed to beat the weaker teams on their schedule, not always impressively, and other than their signature win against the Chiefs have lost to the better teams.  (They beat Miami without Tua) Their QB and WRs are elite, but Burrow can be gotten to, and their offense can be controlled.  It may be a tight game, but a double digit Bills win would not surprise me.  The Bills are the better team.

I love that the Bengals are the ones getting all the talk leading up to this game. The Bills are very good at playing with a chip on their shoulders.

Will those shoulder ‘chips’ be included in this week’s injury update? 😉

This is one of his only “weaknesses” - he struggles a bit with flooded zone coverages.  Bills march up pretty well on defense against the Bengals.

Chris Simms tell us how you feel.

Any of the Pats, Jets, Fins or Titans/Jags could get the last wildcard spot as of now...

 

Should set up for a pretty wild finish.

Tre hasn't been terrible...he made quite a few pass breakups against the Fins.

We really do not know what'll happen when the Rat faces some real adversity. He's such a wiener that I could see him pout for a little while though.

I normally like Chris Simms, but I don't know what he's eating or smoking this week. 

 

First we have the Bills won't be able to run _at all_ against the Bengals with DJ Reader - despite the fact that KC ran for 138 yds with Reader playing 73% of the snaps.  Then we have "Bengals will play a lot of man because Diggs is the only Bills receiver who can get open against man" despite the fact that McKenzie has had big games when teams try to man him up..

 

Now we have "throw at whoever is covered by 27" despite 1) the Bills play a lot of zone 2) QB currently have a 53.6% completion % against White

Yeah, I am not sure about that...Baldy did a break down where he showed Tre in excellent coverage and making plays on the ball numerous times against the Fins. Called him "Tangled up with Tre"...he is mostly just missing consistency right now, which will come as he gets more and more reps, I think.

The best MNF ever is the 1974 season opener, Bills vs. Raiders.  Best game I ever saw at Rich Stadium.
