I’m rooting for a tie.

I wouldnt hate that but it would render our tiebreaker with the Ravens null and void unless we tied... but I would take it...  seriously wondering which is the better option now dammit... I gotta think but my wife is in the bathroom...

so the tie break is null and void unless they’re tied? That’s how it works all the time.

That alone tells you how big of a deal it is.

Not really.

The Bills are pretty far and away the best side in the NFL at the moment.  They may not lose a game this season.

That works, assuming you mean right thru the Stupor Bowl.

Entering the playoffs 16-0? Terrifying.

Indeed, regular season and playoff is where I was drifting.

Truly.  As the only way they cancel a game is if something horrific happens (like a Damar Hamlin type event).

Ehh, no.

There's a good argument to be made that they're the best team in the league through Week 3. 

But this is the NFL. Every team is flawed.

The Bills are there at the top with a handful of other teams. But no team is far and away the best.

Are you a Bills fan?  No and I mean no self respecting Bills fan would utter such a statement. Hi my name is inky.  I enjoy walks on the beach, spending time with my dog and jinxing the ever love outta my most beloved, cherished probably more than my own family team, the Buffalo Bills.

After what Detroit did to the Ravens on Monday night, they get my vote for top of the heap.

I'd like to see what the Bills can do to the Lions in February.

That’s a very impressive team.

Where are their flaws?

Goff is limited, I guess. That’s not really a flaw, though. He’s plenty good enough to take that team to a title game.

When I think of the Bills, I think of a very well-coached team with great fundamentals.

When I think of the Dolphins, I think of a very dynamic, high risk/high reward offense, but the fundamentals are lacking.

When I think of the Lions, I think at least offensively they blend the best of those:  Good coaching and fundamentals, but not risk averse.  Campbell likes to roll the dice.  They would certainly be a challenge for the Bills but I still would like to see a Bills-Lions Super Bowl.

I loved watching the shots before and at the beginning of the game with Lamar laughing, not warming up much, and just chill in with his chain gang.  Like this is just a stroll in the park. Sure, showed on the field.  Body language was poor.

Lamar Jackson, 21 of 27, 288yrds, 3tds, 35 more rushing. Josh Allen 22 of 28, 218yrds, 3tds, 25 more rushing yards. 

Other than the coded language in here, he was excellent against the Lions.

Wadr, Jackson wasn't excellent Sunday night.  He was Romo.  Great stats, but had a critical fumble on 4th down in the red zone and got outscored 17-7 in the 4th while taking about 4 sacks in the 4th (and 7 total).  The only reason they even got the 7 points in the 4th is the Lions inexplicably couldn't tackle on 3rd and a million on a little dump off.

It'll be interesting to see how their game vs the Chefs plays out this weekend.  The cool thing is one of them will, barring a very unlikely tie, be 1-3 at the end of the game.  The scary thing is one of them will be 2-2 and thinking they've righted their ship moving forward.

I didn’t catch all of the game but I did see that 4th down fumble. That one sums up my view of him. It was the same way in the playoff game last year. He had a solid game overall, but the couple early mistakes put his team in an early hole they could never escape.

His defense gave up 31 points on their own. Lamar Jackson isn't the problem in Baltimore anymore than Allen is in Buffalo.

When you are talking about the best of the best, these are the kind of things that separate one guy from the next.

Yup.

And, if you truly ARE the MVP of the entire league, aren't THOSE the moments you're supposed to have a huge 4th Q; rather than have it in a game you're already killing the other team?

[JujuFish]

If we didn't already have Josh, I'd love to have Lamar on the team. He's one of my favorite players to watch when he's not playing Buffalo.

He definitely was that for me. Unfortunately, his fans and national media supporters, who are constantly taking swings at Josh, make it extremely difficult to do so now.  
 

There is a very specific narrative with some members of the national media who bend over backwards to laud Lamar with praise while slighting Josh at every turn.  
 

I hate that social media and the sports screamers (normally referred to as talker) but in this case, all they do is scream, have made it impossible to support your guy without disrespecting all other players.

Yeah, the Ravens fanbase has quickly become one of my least favorites. The national media doesn't bother me, though. I think you might be reading too much into that.

They have that amusing, non self aware segment - as I'm sure Bills Mafia does - who are apt to say things like (super Maryland accent): "Yeah, I love Lamar, man, but there was something about Flacco that I just love more ... just something I can't put my finger on ... . Man, I miss that guy."
