We play like garbage for an entire half and still get the win, I am thrilled. Too many people forget we lose this game every single time in the past. 

 

Including just last year, twice, to the Pats and the Jets.

Next week we may not see Josh against the Jets.  He hurt his right hand and had a right shoulder injury heading into the game.  If KC beats Pittsburgh on Christmas, the battle for the No. 1 seed is over.  If the Texans can beat the Ravens on Christmas as well, then the battle for the 2nd seed is over as well as all 3 teams chasing the Bills (Pitt, Hou and Balt) will be 10-6 and the Bills worst possible record would be 12-5.  This would lock up the 2nd seed and there would be no reason to play Josh.

 

 

IMO this is the only reason not to play Allen extensively against the Jets.  The difference between playing the divisional round in Baltimore or Pittsburgh versus Buffalo is to big not to go all out to win next Sunday.  Now if your scenario happens, Allen would still likely play in the first quarter just to keep his consecutive starts streak going.  He could throw a couple of quick short passes and hand the ball off then hit the bench.

You should be banned from posting for 2 days for such an obtuse post.

Where do these people come from?

"Our defense didn't do anything... except 3 turnovers and a TD." 😅

KC is going to lose at Pittsburgh on Christmas day.  Allen will be playing next Sunday and he will play well.

My take: The penalties at the end of the game were so ridiculous, I was actually cheering for Elam and the DBs to just PI every play until they ran out all 1:50 left on the clock on 1st and Goals.

I don't know how you can watch the end of that game and think anything other than "The refs are trying to keep this game close". It was egregious.

I'm not an NFL conspiracy theorist but I mean come on. Who had money on that game and badly needed the Pats TD? lol.

The bills were not covering before the touchdown so what difference did the TD make to gamblers?  Was it the over/under?

I am torn on this KC/Pitt game. If KC loses, then they play Denver in week 18 in a huge game. If Denver loses that one, there is a good chance we are the 2,

the broncos are out, and we play the bengals As the 7.

When the Bills are good and the Pats* are down, they are still a pain in the ass to beat at times.  
 

Note to Bills:  Never, EVER  wear those Uni’s again.  Same color /style as the 1960’s, 70’s, most of 80’s Patsies.  Terrible.  

We won and I hate the Pats*.  I always have since the days of Gino Capaletti, Babe Parelli, and Jim Nance.

I don't know because I don't gamble. I was making a joke.

 

Regardless, the officiating was horrific.

The Xmas prediction would be great, but if Pickens doesn't play for Pittsburgh I don't see them scoring enough.

 

Also, Tomlin is the perfect coach to play right into the KC game conservative approach that every team does and loses by 3 at the buzzer.

Yep. I would almost rather KC win.

 

Beat the jets, rest the starters week 18, and KC plays their backups the last week against Denver in which probably knocks out Cinci

[Special K]

The Pats lost to the Bills like the drought-era Bills would lose to the Pats sometimes.

 

They would look great in the first half, then just when you start to think "hey, they are finally going to beat them!!", they would make a few bone headed errors that the Pats would take advantage of.

 

The fumble, the backwards pass fumble, and the red zone interception were the boneheaded plays that the Bills took advantage of to win the game.

 

Love it that the Bills can now beat the Pats without playing their A game, or even their B or C game.

 

In your face Pats fans..... 

 

Go Bills!!!!!

I wasn't able to catch all of this one....at my family Christmas, and saw part of it. Glad we at least hung on for another W.

[Bills!Win!]

I would rather win 24-21 against the patriots than lose 44-42 against the rams

I think Denver is going to beat Cincinnati, and i still think the Broncos will be highly motivated to beat KC as well.

I feel like how chiefs fans must feel this year after a win.

I hope you are right, but I am worried.

That game is in Cincy, and burrow is playing great. The way the bengals look, I can’t even see the broncos getting within 2 TDs.
