The one thing that scares me about Buffalo is they run one of the most vanilla offenses in the league partly by design because the receivers are awful. A team like Houston is a bad matchup. I could see Denver being the same. McDermott will punt in stupid situations cause he’s still a defensive minded coach.

I agree. There are a ton of bad match-ups for the Bills. Don't trust their coaches or their D at all, but Allen and Cook are significantly better than their AFC playoff counterparts.

Brady will open up Allen running a lot more in the playoffs which should help the passing game but this Bills team has multiple fatal flaws. I think their more likely to lose in the WC round then they are to win the AFC. The defense remains a mess for the 1st half of each game and can't get off the field on third down. A first round matchup with Jaxville (which seems likely especially if they lose to Philly this week) would be extremely difficult. The WR core is as bad as I can ever remember it with Allen, it's got Shakir and then a bunch of guys who should be on practice squads. Kincaid can't stay healthy and their trying pretty much anyone at WR at this point (Cooks, Hardman etc).

Defensively they need to get Oliver back because that interior run D is atrocious. McDermott has done a good job with second half adjustments but it's hard to feel great about them against any offense save for maybe Pittsburgh. Buffalo really needs to find away to get the 5 seed an play at Pitt. Wont be an easy game by any stretch but preferable to at the Jags or Rd 3 with the Pats.

Refs getting Texans across the finish line.

normally I'd be mad but I'm fully in Raiders tank mode so phluck it.

This game is drunk. The Ravens have missed about 3 picks and I dont know how many sacks. I also have no idea what Johm Harbaugh is doing with Derrick Henry. Hes absolutely destroying the Pats and he didn't play him that entire last drive for absolutely no reason. Coaching malpractice.

I have a feeling Harbaugh is gone after this season

Vintage Flowers. Laughing in post game handshakes too. What a clown.

Dude has no knowledge of time and score. Upon catching that crossing route pass you sprint towards the sideline, not waste time and put the ball a risk doing whatever the hell he was trying to do there.

Game of the year in the NFL this coming Sunday.

Raiders - Giants at 4:05.

Winner (meaning Loser) pretty much secures 1st pick in draft.

NFL just sold the rights to CSPAN3.

My two favorite football teams have now lost 17 games in a row.

I don't know about that. Even if the Raiders lose to NYG the week 18 game is vs the DGAF Chiefs who are down to a 3rd string QB. I could totally see KC pulling on Vegas what the Bills did to NE in Week 18 last year.

I'm almost here, but coaching? That said, I think I'd least like to play the Bills in the AFC playoffs. Most people are lined up favoring all the shiny new toys, nope

Too bad for you the Ravens did their classic Ravens choke last night. If Denver got to host the Patriots in the playoffs Denver wins easy. That stadium is a house of horrors for New England.

The two QBs who have knocked Buffalo out the last 5 yrs won't be in the playoffs. If not now, when. No excuses.

Harbaugh stated after the game that they were doing a possession by possession rotation at back with Mitchell so that is why Henry wasn’t in the game. Seems pretty ridiculous your best offensive weapon without Jackson sits 50% of the time. I’d be furious as a Ravens fan.

Makes absolutely zero sense. This like Buffalo playing TY Johnson in the last drive vs Cle. You gotta be kidding me with that answer. It's also not accurate because he missed the drive after the TD and then on the drive where Flowers fumbled he still wasn't in.

Would Michigan take him on, or would collateral Harbaugh stench be a non-starter?

Looks like a top 10 QB in the league so far.

The Niners are going to steal the one seed in the NFC. They’ll beat Seattle.

Colts d is horrific. I think San Fran has had like 1 3rd down all game.

Possible but they just don't get pressure on the QB. Only sixteen sacks this year. That will eventually be their undoing. Admittedly very good offense though. Seven of their ten wins to date are against the weakest teams in the NFL.

Colts defense is the worst I’ve seen this year. They’re good at nothing.

Was playing against Kittle and the Niners kicker in the fantasy semi-finals so I had to watch that mess. I feel like 8 people from this board and three Giant wind sock puppets in the secondary would have put up more of a fight. Kittle going down saved me along with signing the Colts kicker last second.

It was straight up malpractice. Stunning to see it live.
