Bills-Dolphins for the AFC East next week.

I imagine that’ll get flexed to SNF.

I’ve been on the Philly is more lucky than great wagon all year. It’s caught up to them.

The defense is not good enough if the DL isn’t dominating. They’re making too many errors on O for the talent they have.

Is that fumble? LMAO. Pittsburgh season in a but shell

[jeebs9]

I just realized this looking at the standings. Denver Broncos are still in playoffs contention? LMAO.

I have to agree. It was easy to think that they were resilient. But it's a difference between being lucky and resilient. Could easily be 8-8 right now.

That's the one thing about building through the line and relying heavily on it. Especially defense. Their philosophy has been to go cheap with LBs and Safeties. Their defensive line was dominant last year so it covered up a lot. The defensive line isn't dominant, Slay and Bradberry is on decline, LBs have been banged up and underwhelming, Safeties have been okay at best.

Really makes me wish they won the SB last year when they had the chance.

If they ruin the Bucs playoff chances, lol. Probably not, but if Tampa is first 3.5 quarters of today level then maybe.

There’s a fine line between resilience and luck. I think everyone else just assumed they'll figure it out and getting out with these Ws was fine.

They’re running out of time to figure it out but I still don’t see how even if they end up the 5 seed, they don’t at least get to that next round.
