They should be well-rested since they didn't play last night. 😒

I guess if the game was rigged then it was Bill Belicek and Robert Kraft who agreed to allow two kick-off returns for TDs? Those damn officials!
I'm sure that the refs could have found a penalty one each, if they had wanted to. 😉

Yeah, we start with redundancy, but once you lose one ...

It’s a half win basically. Take a look at the giants winning percentage. They are 9-6-1, which comes out to 0.594.
9.5/16=0.59375
Edit: Remove that tie and they are 9-6, which would be 0.6
If they don't play the Bills-Bengals game, then as far as Chiefs vs. Bills for #1, how you count a skipped game (tie or no contest) wouldn't matter, regardless of what happens in Bills-Patriots and Chiefs-Raiders ...
Chiefs win% would be:
Win: 14-3 (14/17 = 0.824)
Loss: 13-4 (13/17 = 0.765)
Bills win% would be:
Win: 13-3 (13/16 = 0.813) or 13-3-1 (13.5/17 = 0.794)
Loss: 12-4 (12/16 = 0.750) or 12-4-1 (12.5/17 = 0.735)
So, the Chiefs would get the #1 seed unless they lose to the Raiders and the Bills beat the Patriots, irrespective of whether you count it as a tie or as no contest. In essence, it would count as loss by the Bills in the Bills-Bengals game for this purpose.
Unfortunately for the Bengals, in the case where the Bills and Chiefs both lose their final games, but the Bengals win theirs, the missed game would also count as a loss for them. They would miss the chance to take the #1 seed by beating the Bills. (Note: Bill-Bengals for #2 vs. #3 would come down to the third tie-breaker, common game win%, since they'd both have the same conference record in this scenario.)

I feel like Tage is a character on Warehouse 13. One of these days, Pete and Myka are going to show up looking for his artifact.

With all the tickets sold and stadiums booked, I find the odds infinitesimally small.
For the playoffs? They don't even know who's playing against whom, or when. I'm not talking about giving them this coming weekend off, but rather playing Bills/Bengals on a short week (if they'd prefer more rest before the playoffs) and then pushing off the first week of the playoffs.

And give every team except the Bills and Bengals a week to rest and recover. I don't see it happening.
They could schedule the makeup game for Thursday (1/12) and give the league the weekend off, so that the Bills and Bengals at least have 9 days (10, if you want to force their respective games to Sunday (1/22). Not perfectly fair, but at least it would reduce the benefit (plus, some say the week off makes it harder for the team with the bye to be sharp.)

Game should be cancelled. Shouldn’t even be a discussion. Emotions running high so somebody should have already made that call.
I hope the man is ok.
Just my opinion.
Took a while, but they finally made the right decision.

So ... he's done for the season, then?

Throwing to McKenzie with two DB's in the area ... not a good strategy, Josh.

The Sabres are relevant again.
Time for you to give us all an awesome Christmas present and resurrect those charts!
PS - Welcome back.
SDS has one on the front page. We'll see about the others ...

True, and I also seem to remember him being pulled off of Jack's line in the second half (I think).

Or an injury. He has 26 goals in 32 games He needs 24 goals in 50 games to get there. Really, an Injury, or the NHL doing something stupid like telling the refs to let clutching/grabbing/interference go......and he should get to 50.
Remember when Skinner has 26 goals in 37 games and didn't hit 40 until game 82? 😉

Freakin' Texans. Stop Mahommes in OT, only to fumble it away deep in their own end.

When was the last time 30+ games into a season the Sabres had more wins than loses?
Technically, they don't, right now. They're 15-14-2, so they've lost 16 and won 15. They're listed as W and L, but while W is all wins (Reg, OT, SO), L is only regulation wins.

In an unforgiving profession it must be nice as a coach to be in that spot. Not sure you could make the wrong decision there. Only the cruel hand of fate could turn you into a bum. Still would be fun to consider which scenario gave you the best chance of winning. I feel like it would be 99.2% vs. 99.1%.
There was one a couple of years ago where the back clearly tried not to score, but fell in, after which the other team scored to win it.
But, yeah, you're talking about a really small chance of missing a chip shot or a missed snap vs. the chance that the other team either drives for a winning touchdown or gets a tying field goal and then wins it in OT. Small in both cases, but the former is likely much smaller. Win % are both very high, but it's probably more like 99.9% vs. 99%.

That runner going down instead of scoring was fascinating. He was coached to do it, eh?
In good weather, that's the play. Fish couldn't stop the clock, Bills could run it down and walk off with a chip shot, instead of some really small chance that they tie the game had he scored there with time left. That said, with a snow-covered field, it made me a little more nervous, especially when he dropped a little early. Yeah, it was two yards, but ... again ... snow.

Trying to rank two different types of things is always tough.
If the season ended today and there was a Sabres MVP vote, it wouldn't be unanimous, and it would likely be close. That's all I need to know.

Scary that Tage could easily have had four points tonight. I'd have to watch really closely to see why he didn't get an assist on Cozen's EN. Then, he didn't actually try at the buzzer, but it seemed like he could have added another EN if he had really wanted to.

Second? Did I miss Gretzky coming out of retirement to take the first star?

The next test is Cincy. That Burrow kid seems to have some magic.
The next two games (Jets and Miami) are tests, too. Both teams can (and did) beat the Bills. Yeah, there were factors in each that were different than these games, but I'm certainly not taking either as a given.

Which outcome you wanted, Cincy vs. KC, depended a little on whether you think the Bills will "right the ship" and finish strong, like last year, or continue to stumble a bit as the find their game. Even in the latter case, though, it would have to be bad enough for the Bills to be on the cusp and it would have to come down to the Bills or Cincy. I'm going to take the outcome as a positive. Everything else was great, except the minor blip of Baltimore.

They almost came back against the Vikings, but another L for the Jets.
