Number19 posted:Been playing around with the playoff machine and after this week, there's no realistic path to the playoffs for Buffalo. Their most realistic path left is to win the division by winning one more game than the Dolphins down the stretch and then beating the Dolphins in Miami in Week 17. If you're looking for some reasons for faint hope: - they have a bye now, and could theoretically fine-tune the offense further post Dorsey-firing - they head to Arrowhead off the bye, with the Chiefs going there after SNF at Lambeau, so possible rest edge - that same week is Philly @ Dallas, and the following week is Dallas @ Buffalo. If Dallas wins vPhi there's the possibility of the letdown follow-up game. If Dallas loses there's the possibility of internal strife. Then it's two games in which they'll like be favored (@S.D, vN.E) before the finale versus Miami. Miami finishes the season with vDal, @Bal, vBuf, so they could be entering Week 18 on a two-game skid. Miami's other 3 games are @Was, vTen, and vNYJ. Any Given Sunday means going 2-1 is quite feasible. So the summary would be; - Buffalo splits @K.C. & vDal; - Buffalo wins @S.D. & vN.E.; - Miami drops at least 1 of @Was, vTen, vNYJ; - Miami loses both vDal & @Bal; - Week 18 is now a 'Buffalo clinches AFCE with a win'. Obviously you could move Miami's losses around, the main thing is that they lose 2 more games than Buffalo in the Week 13 - Week 17 stretch, with Buffalo winning a minimum of 2 of their own games in that same period. Agreed that to earn a WC spot they will need some help from underdogs in other games. They lose the H2H versus Denver, and the SoS down the stretch means Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Indy, Denver, and Houston all have a bunch of winnable games. But every single one of those teams has looked godawful at different points of the season, so 3+ of them falling flat on their face isn't too absurd a proposition. You want to know what is absurd? Buffalo is currently 6-6 with a +101 point differential. So their net record is 0 despite the +101 in points. In terms of W-L, they are behind 9 squads in the AFC. 6 of those 9 clubs are the 8-3 Jaguars, 7-4 Steelers, 7-4 Browns, 6-5 Colts, 6-5 Texans, and 6-5 Broncos. Those 6 clubs currently have a net record of +14 wins, and a point differential of only +30! It's a funny sport.

Their most realistic path left is to win the division by winning one more game than the Dolphins down the stretch and then beating the Dolphins in Miami in Week 17. I mean, their most realistic path is to go on a tear and finish 11-6. Likely? Not at all, but I don't think you'd have to worry too much about 3 other teams being at 11-6 or better for the wildcard race. Normally 10-7 is enough, but they are probably gonna lose every tiebreaker with already having 5 in conference losses. And they have head to head losses for tiebreakers involving Bengals, Broncos, or Jags - Broncos being the most likely problem since the Bengals probably won't get there and the Jags are likely not a wildcard team. Just checked, and Steelers/Browns/Texans/Colts all have only 3 conference losses so far, so they are all well ahead of the Bills for tiebreaker scenarios. And as I said, Broncos are beating them from the head-to-head result. So they have to claim a wildcard cleanly, since they aren't likely to win any tiebreaker. Maybe some weird 3-way tie result could let them in, but those are difficult to parse. Gully Foyle fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Nov 28, 2023 |

Meanwhile the Cowboys: 40 Giants 35 Football Team 32 Giants 35 Patriots 23 Rams 23 Panthers 20 Jets 3 Chargers -5 Eagles -12 Cardinals -32 49ers Wheras the Cowboys just butcher bad teams or get their lunch taken by the 49ers.

Sorry to correct some dude named twink on twitter or whovever he is but guys need to be coming open or at least making their breaks at the top of your QBs drop, not after he's reached the top, set to throw and then while he has to move off platform away from rushers. The offensive unit as a whole has been off schedule for the entire year. Bryce was told to slow his drop back because his receiver group is slow as poo poo and the route concepts are so slow developing. This offense has no tempo and no execution when someone does get open. It needed wholesale change.

The Bills have ways to make the playoffs, but they can’t do it on their own anymore. Simply winning out doesn’t guarantee them a spot. Someone else has to gently caress up along the way. The good news is there’s lots of teams who could easily gently caress it up. The bad news is that the Bills have a really hard schedule and are very likely to gently caress it up themselves. Such a strange team this year. I’m not a huge Bills fan or anything but they’ve been fun lately and they feel like the reverse Vikings from last year: they’re losing all the coin flips. What can you do? Any given Sunday and all that poo poo. Football is a weird sport with low sample sizes.

a neat cape posted:Somehow this is Herbert's fault. After calling out the correct protection. Having 1.5 seconds to throw the ball. Where no WRs turned around. While Ekeler ignored him and stayed on the right side. If it makes you feel better it's probably half Keenan Allen's fault. The defense can always send more rushers than you have blockers, and sometimes it's explicitly the quarterback's job to negate the free rusher by throwing quickly or evading. Herbert needed to do something to evade the free rusher he should see coming, and I don't think the answer was moving the back because then the free rusher would be coming from his blind side. Allen doesn't really help matters much by not getting off of the coverage, but six yards with that timing is rough. I'm 99% sure that the issue isn't Ekeler blowing the protection scheme, but if it was it's still Herbert's fault- call a loving timeout, don't just run the play.

He's got flaws (Like every NFL player). He holds onto the ball for too long and focuses in on Keenan way too often. Sometimes he'll go through progressions too fast before routes can develop. And you're right, they probably should have called a timeout there.

I think Mike Macdonald just called a defensive play that was designed to be hard to pick up. I mean they had Broderick Washington and 355 pound Michael Pierce dropping into coverage, it was definitely a deceptive design. I'm not sure what Herbie would have seen to cause him to call a timeout that's any different than what the Ravens normally show

The transcripts are getting at what I was thinking https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/what-chargers-said-loss-ravens-week-12-2023 quote:On the fourth-and-6 on the final offensive possession: I don't know if the solution is adding more blockers, against a package like that they've almost certainly got checks so they're bringing an extra guy for every guy you block.

Hamhandler posted:The transcripts are getting at what I was thinking yeah more blockers doesn't necessarily help, just the placement. two DTs are dropping out so now at least a center and a guard are kind of left with nothing to do. they're not magically gonna pull over on a CB blitz. its one of those where you need to move a TE/RB over if you want more blocking. otherwise you identify that guy as a blitzer and should have that WR's route open immediately. the problem just comes from when the DB blitzing would've been the one covering like the 3rd read or a longer route

I opened my NFL scores app at like 8:30pm to check how the game was going, saw the first Bears drive was like 15 plays, 10 minutes for 36 yards and no points, chuckled heartily and watched something else.
