Correct.  The OP in this thread has a premise.  Maybe read it?

Kyle is the better Allen.  The Bills are 7-0 when he plays, 3-6 when he does not get to play.

Whatever James Harden thinks you’d be better served to think the opposite so I’m ok with your reply.  Guy is an idiot and plays the game the wrong way.

 

At least he'd be smart enough to win the game for the #2 seed in the playoffs. You on the other hand... piss poor take to intentionally give up a #2 seed my friend.

This is correct but if either of them lose the Bills clinch

If this scenario plays out:

 

Ravens beat Steelers, Jags beat Titans, Texans beat Colts.

 

with a win the Bills would be #2 and host the Texans

with a loss the Bills are #6 and travel to KC

 

Does anyone who actually watches football think that the Chiefs are a better team than the Texans?  They’re not.  The Texans, even in Buffalo, are a faaaaaaaaar greater threat.  In addition there would be a great scheduling advantage in the 2024 by finishing 2nd.
 

 The ONLY two reasons for playing starters would be some foolish pride over a division title.  That’s a hard pass.  And:

 

Concern about having to play the Ravens in the Divisional round instead of the AFCCG.  I can see this one but you’d probably have to play them at some point anyway.

Oh boy. Even if it plays out that we get in with a loss - going to KC and then Baltimore the next week is not the way. Let Baltimore and the Browns bloody themselves in the division round and hope that the AFCCG goes through Buffalo

 

Teams hosting the Chamionship games in the last 11 years are 16-6 and 29-13 since they went to 32 teams in 2002. Home field helps.

First of all I wrote plural because plural is possible.  Second, you got smart with me first.

 

 

Yeah dude, roll eyes.  I'm right.  It's not my fault you had a crap take and you wanna deflect.

If we’re dealing with the possible why not just declare the Bills Super Bowl winners right now?  Dude, don’t get so upset.  It was either a  misplaced s, a misunderstanding on playoff formatting, too many assumptions about game results or poor writing.  None of the above are worth getting twisted up in knots.  
 

I’m deflecting exactly nothing.  Standing by my take.  You’re reconstructing sentences from your posts.  Still dude….no big deal.

A lot of assumptions go along with your scenario…,

If the Buffalo Bills did what you have proposed, they would be the laughingstock of the entire sports world.

It is not a misplaced "s".  Would it make you feel better if I wrote "game(s)."  It's this simple... the two seed guarantees us a first round home game.  If we win it guarantees us a divisional round home game.  If we win that and the Ravens lose in the divisional game, it guarantees us a home AFCCG.  The 7th seed guarantees we play on the road for all the "game(s)" (feel better?)  This isn't rocket science dude.  Using an "s" there is not wrong because plural is possible.  Everyone knows playoffs are win or go home.  Nobody is confusing anything except you.

 

I'm not upset.  Your initial post could have used some tact though hence why I returned it.  You can stand by your take all you want but the Bills arent resting starters.  Too much at stake.  Home gameS are important.

100% of which will be known in advance of kickoff.  If it doesn't play out like that and the Bills need the win then of course.

The only scenario where the Bills rest the starters next week is if they are up 30 in the 4th quarter

 

Yes, but then I also agree with this:

I can see the point.  Resting allen if hurt makes sense.  We’d have no chance without him I reckon 

 

Barely beat NE without Josh showing up and that was with 3 TO’s in scoring territory. 

That isn’t going to happen on a regular basis for drive starting territory in the playoffs.

Would it help if you wrote it correctly instead of incorrectly?  Yes.

 

That is pretty much always the case.  See also “?” And it’s uses.

I wrote it correctly.  Maybe it would help if you actually argued the post instead of worrying about my correct usage of "games" and trying to take pot shots as if I am stupid.

Shirley, you can’t be serious.  Check with your 4th grade teacher.

Surely I am serious.  Maybe you should.  Winning the 2 seed means home games.  I wrote it again for you.  How about... winning the two seed means games are played at home.  Same meaning.  How about you dispute anything I actually said instead of going off on a tirade about how I write?

 

Now I am done with this conversation unless you want to talk football #######.

Has anyone got a red pen?
