Feels like we are getting kicked in the nuts with this schedule. We've lost to one bad team this whole season (the Titans), the Bills have lost to the Jets, Broncos and Pats, as well as very average teams like the Bengals and Jacksonville. Yet if we lose tonight they win the division and if we win the reward is to play this nemesis of a team for us again next week :( It doesn't seem quite fair and honestly think the NFL need to look at balancing out schedules better, not sure why we can't just go to a 20 game season (scrapping the pointless pre-season_ where you play every single team in the conference and then play 3 cross conference games, do away with the divisions (personally sick to death of playing the Bills, Jets and pats twice a year). That way teams throughout the conference play more or less the same schedule, hell get rid of the cross conference games and it's totally fair.

Edit messed up, there are only 16 teams in each conference of course so if you want to keep the division for whatever reason, just have each team play everyone in the conference plus everyone in the division (home and away). That's 19 games in total, do away with 2 pre-seasons if you have to to make it happen. Much more fair.

Actually would be only 15 conference games. There are 16 AFC teams, but one of them the Dolphins can never play.

Someone help me understand last year's game when we beat the bills 21-19. I don't remember the specifics of that game (probably drunk)

what did we do last year to beat the bills? just looking at the box score is a head scratcher

Tua only threw it 18 times for 186 yards. we only ran the ball 17 times for 41 yards... and our top rusher was none other than chase edmunds ughh

Josh allen threw it 63 times lol holy ****

Every stat is heavily skewed in their favor... how the hell did we win?!

Bills had more than double our 1st downs
almost 500 yards to our 200 yards
they had double the time of posession!

I guess it was their 1 turnover. we had none.

This was the game where there was like a 30 degree temperture difference on the field on the benches for the two teams. The Bills melted.

They also had piss poor clock management at end of game when almost in FG range, clock expired while they tried to set up.

Right, and Allen made a bad throw at the end too. Miami only won that game because the Bills gave it away.

I'm hoping that tonight's game is decided long before time runs out! :UP:
 
I think I remember Iggy getting an INT to ice the game when we finally beat the Bills. Maybe I was hallucinating though.

Wasn't that against the Steelers? His lone highlight.

I don't think either of those statements is a foregone conclusion.

I have no idea if he would even be interested in taking a HC job where he would not also be GM, and have complete control of all things football. I would be surprised were that the case. It would, in reality, be a step down for him to be "merely" the HC.

Even if he considered it, age is also a factor. Does he really want to die watching game film?

Beyond that, he still needs 27 wins to pass Shula. Now in his Brady led hay day, that wouldn't have been such a big ask, but it could take 5 or 6 years at his current pace. Time is not on his side any more at 71 years old.

As to "coaching somewhere" in five minutes, like for a specific example?

Not sure how many teams would be standing in line to get an over the hill, inflexible, defensive minded HC who has done literally nothing since Brady and his Oline guru left. The few that are in line would surely be desperate bottom dwellers and have to basically be rebuilt from scratch.

Then there's the issue of what competent assistants would sign on for that kind of duty. There hasn't been any "new blood" in NE for years.

I heard a rumor that Washington will can Rivera & trade for Bill B

Pursuit of Bill Belichick by Josh Harris is in play

Would Harris insist on Belichick only coaching, or would he get full control?
