Buffalo Bills Divisional: (3) Baltimore at (2) Buffalo; Sunday 1/19 @ 6:30 PM ET, CBS

Rather win.

Why?

 

[misterchainsaw]

The process is not smooth under White. Two procedural penalties on his first drive lol.

 

[SabresFan26]

Why?

a pick or two difference isn’t going to change the needle for NE. It’s also a down draft. It would say something that our back ups beat their starters and it’d be the most wins in our programs history.

These guys work hard every week. I’d like to see them rewarded.

And the two worst plays of the day were actually starters (Rapp and Bass)

 

[Zman5778]

If Samuel doesn't get tripped up there, he may have went the distance. He had a caravan of blockers.

When the extra points were from the 2 yard line (meaning a 19 yard kick), misses were extraordinarily rare.

Now, the make rate is somewhere around 95%.

Keep in mind the NFL moved back the line of scrimmage for extra points back to the 15 some years ago - which is about a 32 yard field goal. League average is generally around 94% from that range.

Bass is 59/64 now, so below average (92.1%), but not significantly so, and he's still pretty solidly above average for his career (96.3%)

Gotcha’, thanks gents!

I'm not worried about a player that the Pats would pick at #1 per se. I'm worried about them getting the #1 pick and trading it to a QB-desperate team for a HAUL of picks that will jumpstart their rebuild. They've already seemingly got their QB.....I don't want them surrounding said QB with a ton of talent.

He's way too easy to tackle. $11 million dead cap to walk away next year so he'll probably be back, unfortunately.

Yeah, he ain't going anywhere next year.....so I hope he spends the offseason getting right.

Surely the Bucs won't blow their season by losing to the Saints at home?? 19-13 Saints in the 3rd, though the Falcons are also tied with Carolina 24-24 and would have to win to send Tampa home.

Bryce Young is starting to make some plays, Panthers are driving. Falcons might definitely blow this as well.

Would be cool to see Young put it together.

I one hundred percent get what you’re saying and completely understand. I just also promised myself to root for my teams to win instead of tank/lose like the Sabres as we’ve seen how that worked out.

Young really found himself, usually doesn't work out that way. Penix looks good too.

 

[12ozPapa]

Milton looks damn good.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Milton looks damn good.

vs 2/3 stringers

 

[NotABadPeriod]

The best thing that could come out of this game is convincing the Patriots to keep Mayo.

 

[SundherDome]

I still really like Elam, I wish they would just let him play man and run zone around him

 

[12ozPapa]

vs 2/3 stringers

True, but still looks good. If I’m a Pats fan, I’d be happy.

 

[SabresFan26]

vs 2/3 stringers

We have had multiple starters in all game.

 

[Zman5778]

vs 2/3 stringers

And a VERY vanilla defense.

But that said, his BIG question coming out of UT was his accuracy. He's made every single available throw and done so accurately. I've been impressed....even against a nothing defense.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

If they score a TD on this drive, it better be to a receiver who hasn't count one yet.

 

[BuiltTagonTough]

How many f***ing times can you mention the Bills playing Kansas City and if we’re good enough?

There’s got to be ONE other storyline.

 

[SabresFan26]

This is like watching the drought era Bills. We would’ve punted there though.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

It would be hilarious if we get a few first downs, get under 2 minutes, and then go to victory formation while losing.

Talk about sticking it to New England.

This is literally like preseason football. Boring.

Cue the bad special teams play by Smiley. Huge return.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

If Mike White leads a 2 minute drill TD here, I have no idea how I will react. Probably would just be in shock.

 

[Zman5778]

Even better: score the TD, go for 2......and just spike the ball into the ground.
