Yeah this team don’t want no damn redemption
i was so ready to be rooting for a top 10 pick last week
now i've got to psyche myself up to watch ravens steelers with excruciatingly annoying stakes
which mediocre team will win the chance to get fucked by the bills at home in the wildcard round
which mediocre team will win an annoyingly middle of the road draft slot
find out (probably) on primetime wk 18

No dk or tj watt, we should be able to beat them with huntley but id rather have lamar for sure. He need the reps for the playoffs
No dk nor tj watt. We assssssss if we lose
Adding Darnell Washington and his broken arm into the mix. He's a significant loss for an Arthur Smith led offense.
The literal exact opposite, actually.
The crazy thing is that if the Bills lose to the Eagles (possible) then the Bills could be the 7 seed and it would be either Chargers or Houston (or even Jaguars if things get very crazy).
unfortunately, i'm not sure either owner is making HC decisions based on a win/loss next week
ultimately being petty to protect TJ Watt may have ruined their season
would be incredibly ironic
What they do with tj watt?

They may have Watt no way to know yet
Fellas. Astounding that I have to say this out loud. We gave Derrick Henry, the guy with the 21st most rush attempts and counting, the most carries he's seen in his 10 year career. He clearly should have had the final totes the week prior. But turning what is a qualifiable outlier into a replicable week-to-week game plan, and therefore the basis of benching Lamar for Huntley, is among the biggest mental lapses I've seen this year. In a perfect world, Henry sees the ball 20-30 times with a healthy YPC, and Huntley is relied upon for capable game-managing and 3rd down conversions.
But we're playing Pittsburgh. In Pittsburgh. Short-handed as they are, it's far from a gimme under the best of circumstances. Even now, it's closer to a 50-50. Treating it as an opportunity for Lamar to become healthier specifically for a postseason that is as unlikely to happen as it's likely to happen, is as mind-numbing as it sounds. Depending on Lamar's health, we'll be one of the healthier teams entering the final week with something to play for.
Are we slated for a deep post-season run? No. But the teams coming to the dance hall are arguably beatable. Personally, I couldn't care less about the drop in draft positioning. The 4 of 4 players who are the betting favorites for DRoY were selected were picked after the 26th. Last year's DRoY was selected 19th. Would be fun to consider the possibilities of the earlier prospects, but the talent will be there. I'm hoping only a SuperBowl run saves John Harbaugh at this point, and if we make it to the big dance, would be hard to complain. Look, it's the holidays, we were just given the biggest, unlikely set of gifts we could've hoped for, and the mood here reeks of devastation. Free to do whatever you want, I'm genuinely relived with the outcome and am praying for us to make the postseason. A decade from now, during the inevitable down seasons when we're praying to be praying for the playoffs, I'll at least look back and know that I didn't take any of this for granted.
