Game thread: MNF Cincinnati at Jacksonville

[RG Murdock]

When you lose to the Pats, Jets, Bronco's, (Should have lost to Giants at home). Bills deserve nothing. If they win out, then they will have deserved respect.. If they lose to the beatable Chiefs, just a disgraceful season.

True. But does anyone else in the AFC really deserve anything this year either? Maybe the Ravens. But that’s all I’ve got.

Lawrence injury looked severe. Totally throws the #1 seed into the air.

I don’t agree.

 

We want Cinci to have hope for a playoff spot and parlay that into losses against teams ahead of us.

They still would have had hope because of who they play.  Now they are in a situation where they can steal the 7 seed.

 

The way they played tonight they are going to beat pittsburgh and cleveland.

Definitely not. He flopped and begged for the call.  It was pathetic. 

I think you’re watching with your Bills colored glasses on. Which I certainly understand.

Man, I really forgot how much I hated looking at all of the other teams & the math this far from the end of the season!

Geez are people complaining about the results of that game?

 

I really, really hate being happy about injuries, but tonight was the 2nd best result the Bills could have hoped for.

 

Lawrence's injury is another game changer. How many of those are we having this year? How much should we all truly appreciate our own QB?

 

I wish they would have tied after the Lawrence injury, but those are uncommon.

 

Guys, look at the Bengals schedule. Jake Browning at QB? They're losing at least 2 out of the remaining 5.

 

Now the Jags come into play. Suddenly it's very possible they lose 3 maybe even 4 of their remaining 5.

 

Hate injuries, but they happen...

This is typically where Collinsworth draws the blood from virgins to sacrifice at his mantle of Mahomes and they end up as the 1 seed at 12-5.

No. It just put two teams in the race that weren’t in there before.

Collinsworth can always invite a 16 year old into his studio.

My God does Zach Taylor have a punchable face. And those fang teeth make it that much more punchable.

What is with AFC startingQBs getting knocked out of games and possibly the season?   Jags are not going far without Lawrence.   Should have pounded the rock more but hindsight is 20/20

[LABILLBACKER]

At this rate the AFC will be devoid of quality qbs come playoff time.

It's pry short term if it's a sprained ankle.  A lot of pain to go through though.

Josh is employing the reverse Madden jinx, where all of the other QBs end up injured and he is the last man standing, with the Lombardi trophy when it’s all said and done.

It brings one team DOWN into the race is what it does while simultaneously knocking out their Franchise QB.

 

There isn't a single team with a losing record remaining on the Bengals schedule.

 

Stop being such a freaking Eeyore. It's tiresome.

 

Anything can always happen, but are you putting money on Jake Browning going 4-1?

 

Now suddenly next week's Jags vs Browns game almost doesn't matter to me as far as results go if Lawrence is out for the season.

It’s just a sprain.

what it does is keep all the teams even. A few are bound to shine through that. The Bills need to be one of them.  I’m not being a eeyore. I’m being realistic while you are being a homer.

No crap dude.... did you think any of us were looking at this through the lens of Buffalo losing 2 or more games????

 

Buffalo needs to win out or, at worst, lose 1.

 

All of us get that. Any of our playoff dialogue assumes that. I'm not being a homer because I'm literally looking at best results for Buffalo winning out OR losing 1.

 

And I will take a now 6-6 Jake Browning led Cincy win that generates an 8-4 CJ Beathard led Jags team with 5 games remaining.

 

Sheesh. It's still Football season, Buffalo has one of the best QBs in the NFL, and they're 1 1/2 games out of a playoff spot with 3 teams in front of them now without their Franchise QB.

 

I have an idea... try to have fun.
