As of right now, the Ravens only have one game left against a team with a winning record (Bengals). If they can get healthy and find some consistency they could end up with an impressive record. Of course two of those teams with losing records are division rivals so their W/L record doesn't really matter as much, they will show up to play.

Same with NFC West, just hoping Niners can anihilate everyone in there path the rest of year, and please no injury's.
The last 10 years injury's are so prolific, and free agency, I remember when a team was a team for 3-4 years before major changes where made, now it's almost weekly with trades and injury's.
They use to practice all summer, sometimes 2 a days and injury's where less than now because they don't practice enough in the off season as a team.

The new concussion protocols can drop a team in its tracks. If a QB gets his bell rung like Tua, he will be pulled from the game even if it's the playoffs. But don't worry @marpow , that kind of stuff only happens to the Jets.

I think the Ravens can easily make some noise in the playoffs.

My Bills are in a situation. I don't think Allen will play Sunday. It would be foolish to risk any delay in his recovery for one game against an NFC opponent. Cleveland and Detroit (Thanksgiving) follow. With or without Allen, they need to go 2-1 in these 3 games. Unlike the press, I don't think any of them are cake walks. Not even Detroit. Hey, the Bills lost to Jacksonville last year. And you never know what Cleveland team you're gonna get. If this team is as good as everyone says, they should easily be able to manage going 2-1 in this stretch. They need the defensive guys to heal up and get T. White back on the field.

There is an interesting dynamic between the Bills and Vikings if Allen doesn't start. Once upon a time, Case Keenum (the current Bills backup QB) was the starting QB in Minnesota . During that time he threw to Stefon Diggs, among others . The two of them connected for the Minnesota Miracle to beat the Saints in the 2017-18 playoffs. Diggs has also caught passes from Kirk Cousins for a couple of seasons

Unlike most backup QBs, Keenum wasn't signed while he was a free agent after being released, the Bills deliberately traded for him. According to the coach "he's here for a reason". You cant help but wonder if at least some of that decision wasn't based on the history between Diggs and Keenum.

With the draft picks the Vikings got for Diggs, they drafted Justin Jefferson, who now leads the NFL in receiving yards.

Both teams benefitted from that trade.

As always, it is a game of attrition. Another thing that makes Brady so valuable is his durability over the years. Plus the Pats had really good backup QB's during the few times he was out.

Ok. Josh Allen.
Hurt on Sunday
Evaluated on Monday
On Tuesday his availability given as day to day, Did Not Practice
On Wednesday he is day to day, DNP
On Thursday he is day to day. DNP
Of Friday he is "hour to hour", Limited Practice.
On Sunday He dresses. 3rd string QB Barkley is inactive. Only Allen and Keenum are available.

Dressing does not mean he'll start, But my guess is he will. Or is it more smoke and mirrors.

I hope this doesn't blow up in their face.

Vikings vs Bills. 30-30 as I write this. You Bills fans, how could your hearts hold out through this one?

The loss to KC in the playoffs last year and now today. How does stuff like this happen to one team?

The Unbelievables -

Bills - Vikings going to OT. Incredible

Unbelievable Number 2. Lions Win. ON THE ROAD !!! Da Bears lose at home

 

[cbmmm3]

Dang. Would have loved to See Josh and the Bills win this game. I did tell y'all in preseason to watch out for the Vikes ( I also said the Steelers - hey - Im batting .500 )

Still think the Bills will be in the Super Bowl. Perhaps with a reply of this game ?

Dolphins and Bucs back to leading their division's! Good day in NFL land.

 

[JohnN]

WOW! Game of the year.

Always was a Vikings fan.

Not game of the year! Too many turnovers and a terrible call by the ref to get to overtime.

The good thing about an early game is it gets the suspense over for the day. I was pretty comfy with the start to Chiefs vs Jags. Then I had my doubts but it all worked out from my perspective. Yet again Mahomes & Chiefs cranking out new record breaking stats.

It was up to the Bills & Vikings for the real suspense & excitement so far today. I agree with you about the Bills & Super Bowl. Even if they have never won one, just lost 4 altogether. I think I'm right. A Super Bowl match up with the Chiefs would be epic!

How many yards did the Bills defense give up today? Superbowl? Chiefs can't play the Bills in the Superbowl.

True enough. Forgive me I was echoing FOX sports.

The Bills seem to be a star crossed team. There is still a long way to go, however.

Every year somebody’s got to lose the AFC championship game. Bills-Chiefs would be a real barn burner, however. Mr. and Mrs. Sonik would have to make sure the defibrillator was working prior to game time.

That's why we watch every week. There are no sure things.

Pinch me, I dreamt GB beat Dallas....No way!
Well I guess even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while
Look out for Detroit, 2 game winning streak...they may run the table!

They seem to let up or play down to certain teams. But the Bills are still very good & entertaining to watch!
