Commanders 4-13 in 2023. Clean house and bring in a new HC and GM and draft a QB. Looks like they might be playing for a trip to the Super Bowl next week.

You're missing the most important part: their incompetent owner sold the team and the new guy has just as many playoff wins in two years as Snyder did in 25 years of owning the team.

Wash. like the Bengals were fortunate that a generational QB (Daniels) was available in the draft, very fortunate the Bears drafted Williams and not Daniels.

Success begins at the top. Wagner and Luvu both FA pickups were 2nd team All Pro this season at linebacker.

I haven’t followed Detroit that closely but 17 players on IR? That’s a lot to overcome and it appears it caught up with their defense yesterday. I’m not sure the Commanders win was all that surprising. Am I wrong?
 
It's going to be an interesting 4th quarter. Baltimore is gaining its momentum and I'm a little disappointed with Buffalo's offense in the second half.

These are supposed to be the top 2 candidates for MVP and neither HC trusts their QB instead Balt. running the football and Buffalo nothing but 5 yd. passes.

They are the top 2 MVP candidates (although I believe Henry & Barkley should be in the discussion) and 2 of the 4 best WB’s in the game. Based on the weather conditions I believe each team is doing what they feel gives them the best chance at a W.

Like I said they don't trust their QB's esp. Buffalo. Get near the goal line and Allen is a rb instead of a QB.

Thats absolutely ridiculous.

Im guessing the first thing Buffalo & KC will say is “at least we don’t have to face the Bengals.”

Why is it, if Buffalo trusted Allen why not let him throw the football, would NE reign in Brady like that. Fortunate the game did not go to OT. Stafford threw for over 300 yds. today weather didn't stop him.

Stafford is a great qb, played a really good game but also had 5 sacks for 33 lost yards, 2 fumbles losing 1. Unfortunately his team lost.

Allen had 2 td’s, who cares if they are rushing or passing? The ball is in Allen’s hands. Allen had zero turnovers and took 1 sack for a 1 yard loss. Most importantly Allen & the Bills got the W.

LAR wr Puka dropped a sure 1st down pass and Bal te Andrews dropped a two point tying conversion pass. Both great all pro players. Do you think both teams would love to have those plays back and have their qb’s rush for a first down or successful 2 pt conversion?

Allen is physically the most imposing & talented QB since John Elway. He can most definitely throw the ball all over the field. His receivers are Amari ‘on the wrong side of 30’ Cooper, a rookie, a 2nd year guy, a vet te Knox, a 2nd year Te Kincaid & rb Cook. All solid players but none are all pros.

Today’s two games were both in bad weather. The only WB not to throw a int or out the ball on the deck…..Josh Allen.

Lamar drove Ravens down the field in the last 3 minutes. Fact is Buffalo did not trust Allen throwing the football and it almost bit them in the a**. An MVP candidate should be able to throw for more than 127 yds. in a playoff game the weather was bad but it wasn't a blizzard.

Think your correct. Burrow-head stadium will be filled and loud, but fans will be very thankful it is the Bill's and not the Bengals they face.

Yea, one td run was a tush push. Let’s throw the ball, great fantasy stat builder.

Maybe the Rams, Ravens & Lions have trusted their QB’s a bit less, the turnovers cost them W’s.

The 8 QB’s who played this weekend, only 1 had zero int’s and fumbles - Josh Allen.

Nonsense. This is how the Bills game plan today. Once they got up by 11 at half they tried to grind Baltimore down. Sure it almost didn't work but the Bills won and they're in the AFC Championship game. I suspect that Joe Brady will have a very different game plan against KC, weather permitting. When the Bills have needed Allen to be Superman he's come through. When they don't they play the game like this one.

The idea that the Bills don't trust Allen to throw the ball is 100% wrong. Allen is money in the playoffs with 31 total TD's and only 6 turnovers.

As for MVP, Allen is clearly the guy. Who expected this from Buffalo? Most of the national NFL media people were saying the Bills would be lucky to make the playoffs and many picked both Miami & the Jets to finish ahead of the Bills in the Division. The Bills had ONE all pro and that was Allen on the 2nd team. The Ravens had 9 all pro's on the 1st or 2nd team.
