    This makes sense on paper but this is the type of game we win almost every year to drop a little lower in the draft. This is the most committed to the tank we've ever been though so fingers crossed.

    You’re underrating the matchup aspect of it though. The Chargers are conceding the game by resting Herbert while the Broncos are playing for the 1 seed anyways.

    I think an experienced team would much rather go on the road to Jacksonville to play a first time head coach and Trevor Lawrence who is definitely an inferior QB to Maye even at this point.

    I think the Bills want to win and get that 6 seed and roll the dice against the Jaguars rather than playing the Patriots for the 3rd time.

    It's really a combination. Yes, some tank decisions to be sure, but also absolute ineptitude of the coach. Normal tank does not look like this. I mean you do not have to be losing by 21+ every game with the game out of reach in the 1st quarter. I don't even remember Jax losing that badly for Lawrence, and they were super committed. The Raiders are not losing that badly either and they are definitely committed and will actually succeed.

    This is really not normal. But I can definitely see instead of losing 5 games by 7-10 points, they lose 4 by 25, proving complete incompetence and then stupidly win one against the back-ups with preseason game plan by a point and ruin the draft spot.

    Jets only chance is a 2-3 TD game from the special teams. Last game in Bills stadium. 27-10 Bills

    Bills coach said it will be “business as usual” Sunday so people believe that’s his way of saying they won’t be sitting anyone

    Sounds like Breece Hall will not play. A couple did not practice reports (knee) but he got his 1K yards last week, he might just be heading to Cancun early

    It will snow in Buffalo over the next two days including on Sunday. If they don’t land a home playoff game, it’ll be the last game in that stadium.

    They also jump the Chargers in the seeding and avoid going to Foxborough in round one.

    The Jets that are out on the field on Sunday are going to be staring right at that clock waiting for the game to end. I don’t think they have much of a chance. Fingers crossed but everything points to the Bills having reasons to win.

    good riddance to that shithole stadium. too bad the governor Hochul is buying their oilman a stadium though, such BS

    lots of bad memories in that building. Some things stay the same. Here is our Jets getting screwed by the refs in 1993. That's a fumble by Thurman Thomas
