Einstein Posted January 4 Posted January 4 (edited) Any given Sunday, yada yada, but it’s looking like Division title or bust. Obviously we all know that the only way the Bills get in with a loss is if Pitt or Jacksonville lose. Well, a couple pieces of news today: 1) Ravens (playing Pitt) announced they are making Lamar Jackson inactive. In addition to this, the Ravens reporters on Twitter expect many more starters to sit out or see very little action. 2) The Titans (playing Jax) have 15 people on their injury report. That’s nearly 30% of the roster. The Titans are terrible as it is - they can’t afford any players to be injured. . Edited January 4 by Einstein 2 1 Quote

Augie Posted January 4 Posted January 4 If we played the Jags AT HOME, our REAL home (rather than their second home), this is probably a moot point. Screw the NFL. 7 2 5 1 Quote

That being said, doesn't matter...Bills will know what is at take by game time because have been flexed to the night game and the other 2 will have finished before kickoff. And even if one of those other teams lose, Bills are coming for the 2 seed and divisional title, so I don't think the outcome of those games matter much to how the Bills are preparing for this game. 1 2 Quote

If you’re a player, you’re hurt, you’re on a 5-11 team… are you pushing to play in a meaningless final game? 🤷🏻♂️ 1 1 Quote
Beast Posted January 4 Posted January 4 It’s not looking like anything. The Steelers and Jaguars both could lose. Get back to me Sunday evening. 3 1 Quote
Drew21PA Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Yeah I hate this week!!! it’s been horrible I can’t stop trying to find news and find what’s going to happen lol i can’t get a read on this game. I feel we haven’t played our best the last couple weeks but people feel we have played horribly I see us playing good defenses and their “super bowls” against us and we have played through adversity in those games and are ultimately 4-0 in the last 4 soooooo i just hate j don’t trust McDermott anymore - 2 years ago I knew we would win now? This year? just a stressful week 1 2 Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I'd argue Huntley is better than any of the Steelers' QBs and he has playoff football experience. I think Ravens win with their backups! 2 Quote

I think Ravens win with their backups! Hope you’re right! Question though: Who is he throwing too? Zay Flowers has a calf injury and hasn’t practiced the last two days. Doubt Beckham plays. Maybe he hands off a ton? Quote
stevestojan Posted January 4 Posted January 4 The only thing keeping me sane is that we will know what we need by kickoff. And if it’s win and in, or lose and go home, i will need a ***** horse tranquilizer. I just hope the morons I make fun of for doing so are able to meet the team at the airport after winning the AFCE. 3 Quote

Yeah cause that's the reason they won't make the AFC championship game. How about the losses to the Pats and Broncos? 1 2 Quote

I think Ravens win with their backups! It's possible but I truly think the Ravens may want to lose to try to knock out the dangerous Bills' team. 1 Quote
Chuck Schick Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I actually prefer that Lamar is inactive, vs him starting and playing a few series then going to the bench. Give Hundley all the reps in practice, he will be motivated to show what he’s got. I’d take him over Mason Rudolph 4 Quote
Drew21PA Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Pittsburgh ain’t losing to back ips and jags won’t lose to trash titans no way we have to win or go home 1 Quote
SoonerBillsFan Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Bottom line we have to win. The offense is playing like crap, so we need the #2 seed. Quote

ngbills Posted January 4 Posted January 4 I have accepted that the playoffs are pointless if the Bills can't win this Sunday. So I expect a victory and playoff success, anything less is a failed season. They lose on Sunday I want a restructure of the coaching staff and some major roster changes. 2 1 1 Quote
UKBillFan Posted January 4 Posted January 4 8 minutes ago, Augie said: Every little bit matters, and THAT is a real part of our season. Do you disagree??? It’s not just the defeat but who the Bills lost to injury in London as well. Plus the inherent unfairness that the Jags had a week head start despite the game being designated as Bills at home. But the Ravens have lost more than one this year. So have the Dolphins. It’s a killer but there have been other dreadful defeats… arguably all of them but Philadelphia… which could now come back to haunt them. Quote

Would our chances be better with a REAL home game? I think only an idiot would say no. Every game matters. 1 Quote

It's a weird year, and both are division rivalries. And both Pitt & Jax are pretty middlin' teams. 2 Quote
