UPDATED!!! Sunday Jan 5th Up to the minute NFL Playoff Picture and Scenarios

[Thrivefourfive]

The NFL wants to move as much of itself to Los Angeles it’s not even funny. New York is just going to be an address soon and a more centrally located meeting place.

The Rams was the only bad game they played and it was coming off that big Sunday night win that clinched the division.

They were smothering the Lions until later in the game up 35-14 when they went prevent to force them to chew clock, and the Pats had 14 points until the end of the game when Buffalo went prevent to force them to chew clock.

This whole narrative of the Bills D being awful lately is 100% horsespit.

would like an “I’m listening…continue” emoji

Comfort me. I worry that that rookie QB isn’t scared, and that there will be zero pass rush to consistently knock him on his ass. 

you act like a rookie qb, unfamiliar with playoff football, coming off throwing against 3rd stringers won’t potentially throw a few dumb ones that he can’t actually get away with

I'm a little concerned that Payton will have a good plan against our defense. Thinking we'll be able to get the win, but I think Denver will be a challenge.

Well I don’t think he’s scared , but I’ll play vs the inexperienced guy every time. He’s mobile , so if the Bills had a great rush it might be neutralized anyway. They’ll play a mobile QB differently than a pocket passer and that’s probably a good thing. I think we will have a good game plan and a decent weather day for Josh to do Josh Allen things . Not a cakewalk by any means but not a bad draw for round one.

McDermott will have a bunch of thlngs he hasn't seen.  Pre snap looks then change it out, etc. QB's can still look bad without getting sacked. Add in playoff noise and it could be difficult.

again, playoff teams tend not to be pushovers with trash at qb and terrible coaching 

 

no dominant playmakers on offense 

a rookie qb

theres not much more you can hope for in January.

last several seasons it’s been revealed either around the start of the 4th quarter of SNF or immediately after the game.

I didn’t get it right but I told you guys earlier they’ll lump the AFC early and the NFC late. 
 

Only thing I hate is that the ravens get to play the day before us. They didn’t screw the other 2 seed (eagles) like that

I’ll bet there was pressure from Prime to get Lamar game

Sunday at 1 PM!  Lets go!

Flying with my son across country for his first game in Buffalo (and my first since the Oilers), and excited for the weather forecast and timing. Had flights and great tickets last year for the snow postponed game and couldn’t get there. 
 

If you see us say hello. We will be the two guys in Bills gear cheering like crazy.

I like this a lot. I have no doubt a true competitor will thrive in an environment such as OP. I think the kid is a gamer. And his super great HC seems to love him. I think that’s powerful. I think Payton is no dummy. His receiver group is versatile. That Sutton is big and aggressive at the high point. The other guy is fast. 
 

I really like the way the ball comes off Bo Nix’s hand. I don’t know.. what is it?.. he plays like Billy Hoyle to me 

 

Knows exactly who he is and isn’t shy to go big. Him not getting knocked down is a major thing to me. To me it means Payton and Nix have free rein, and many many confusing DBs and a slow Milano isn’t going to stop the type of offense that’s taking Payton to the Hall of Fame

The issue with this is that CBS has a deal with the NFL and Nickelodeon that makes it very likely CBS will get the late afternoon slot.

 

CBS cannot have two back-to-back games so FOX is almost certainly getting the 1pm Sunday slot.

 

I think it's gonna be:
Chargers/Texans Sat 4:30p CBS

Broncos/Bills Sat 8:00p Prime

Commanders/Bucs Sun 1pm FOX

Packers/Eagles Sun 4:30p CBS

Steelers/Ravens Sun 8:20p NBC

Vikings or Lions/Rams Mon 8:20p ESPN

Welp…..it’s 1pm Sunday.  😂

I'm not making any predictions; just pointing out that this narrative about the Bills defense has gotten completely out of control.

Sign me up for that. Ideally Houston and PIT win but that seems highly unlikely both will

Woof that'd be nice but Steelers look like trash lately.

I think that slot is always AFC south. Bills got that slot 2019 season @ Houston
