Post comments about games not involving the Bills.

 

Go Bills!!!!!

[oldmanfan]

Where is our pregame thread?

[eball]

I’d really like to see Detroit or Seattle make it in over Green Bay.  Both of those teams had no expectations whatsoever (to the outside world) going into this season, and both have been feel-good stories this year.

 

Unfortunately, if Seattle wins early in the day Detroit will have “nothing” to play for (besides keeping GB out).  Still, I don’t think Campbell will let them play flat.

 

Should be a fun afternoon.

I'm looking forward to the Jets-Fins Waste Management Garbage QB Bowl

Tell me why I shouldn’t bet on Steelers?

You should.  I know I am 

[Locomark]

Best case outcomes for the Bills today: 

Bills Win of course

Jets beat Phins,

Ravens beat Cinci

Chargers beat Denver 

Seeding then are we get Steelers (if Steelers win) or Pats( if Steelers lose) and Cinci now gets Chargers, which is our easiest draw and Cinci’s toughest draw. Too bad Lamar is out.

Bengals in such a weird spot.  
 

Can probably beat the Ravens by going vanilla, given no Lamar, but still don’t want to lose that game and have a coin flip for where it’s played should they rematch..

 

Especially given it “sounds” like Lamar will play next weekend.

So Miami wins today and they're at Buffalo next week right? I really don't wanna play the Dolphins again. I mean if Tua is out then ok, but I'd rather have the steelers or Patriots

They’re about as mediocre as Cleveland. Cleveland has the better run game and SHOULD (though he’s kinda sucked so far) have the much better QB.

If the Bills can’t beat the Dolphins at home in the playoffs then they are not a very good team. I say “bring it on!”

I have resigned myself to accepting the reality that we are going to have to play--and beat--the Bengals AND Chiefs if we want to get to the SB.  Where the Philly Eagles will be waiting for us, and they are one hell of a good football team.

 

The good news is this is certainly possible.

 

The bad news it's a pretty heavy lift.

If Miami gets back Tua and the Ravens get back Lamar, that reinforces just how massive of a gift KC received.  
 

No easy WC games with the options for Division winners being Chargers, Ravens, Dolphins.  
 

Now if Lamar and/or Tua don’t play .. those teams are a joke.

I have to agree with your summary on the AFC side as I fully expect us to have to beat the other big dogs and personally I want us to. That eliminates any critics. I however have a gut feeling Philly will be an an early out team. Not sure why. I think they peaked at the wrong time.

If the Jets mange to knock Miami out of the playoffs I’m going to laugh. A lot.

[The Wiz]

Skylar Thompson vs Joe Flacco is "must see" TV. 🤣

 

Who scores more points, the defenses or the offenses?

Yo the Ravens aren’t playing Huntley, Dobbins or Andrews? 
 

The Bengals get an easy win and if this is an indication Lamar might not play, an easy win for them next week too. Meanwhile we might have to play Miami at full strength. 

[Low Positive]

Now that the Ravens are essentially conceding their game, I don’t really care as much about the outcome of the Bills game today. If we lose, we most likely host the Ravens without Lamar next week. If we win, it will most likely be the Fins with Tua. So for next week a loss is preferable but long term not so much because that means going back to Cincinnati and going to Arrowhead. Either way, it’s a bit of a lose-lose.

Cincy also gets Ravens home for the wildcard game if they win.

 

Lamar isn't playing again this season so cincy is getting to the divisional round with 2 weeks of Ravens B/C team.
