Looks like a sack to me too.

I have more interest in overall Tackle For Loss numbers anyway.

You're not rooting for the Bills?

With a win against the Chargers, the situation is much better for the Patriots if the Bills win.

The Pats get the highest seed left. #7 Bills win, they automatically go to Denver, they you get the winner of #4 Houston or #5 Stillers. Sounds like you like Houston or Stillers better in R2? I'd rather Houston won and went to Denver and beat them then the AFCCG is here. I mean, the Bills could win in Denver, but I kinda doubt it. I'd rather have Houston in the AFCCG than the Bills.

Because Houston and Pittsburgh are much easier opponents than Jacksonville.

If the Bills lose the Patriots play the Jags.

If the Bills win the Patriots play either the Steelers or the Texans.

Only one of those three that I see as much better for the Patriots is the Steelers.

I also like that because I see it as part of the best narrative arc for the Patriots, after we get past the Chargers beating the Steelers and then the Bills would provide redemption and revenge for two of our three loses. I’d like to take away those boasting rights from their fans. That would leave only the Raiders loss unavenged, and their fans don’t matter, they have nothing else to boast about.

When it comes to the Bills, I kinda feel like I did about the Ravens; happy when they are eliminated. I know the whole chokers rep, but they have been battle tested, and they aren't going to fold vs the Pats. They might vs anyone else, but the Pats, they'll be confident in the game plan... they know the opponent. I'd like to host the AFCCG, so whatever that road lead them is what I am rooting for.

It would a very tough game no doubt, but I think if we get to the AFCC that will be our opponent.
I think Jax is a tough test, won't be easy but see the Bills winning.
Buff beats Denver easily in the divisional rd.

 

[TheRainMaker]

I have a bad feeling Buffalo is going hand the keys over to Cook and he goes off in the postseason ala Terrell Davis 1997. I see Allen doing the Elway just making plays when he absolutely has to. On the other hand, their defense sucks and that plan will get tossed aside if a team like Jacksonville gets a lead quickly. The NE fluke isn't going to happen again.

Nothing will shock me as you could make a case for every playoff team winning and losing.

Pittsburgh, absolutely. Houston, I’m not so sure. And I just can’t see the Steelers emerging from that matchup.

Jax is just as good as Houston on D, and they are miles ahead of them on O.

Either way, I'd rather face these 2 teams than Jax.

Jax has a very good D, but they aren't as good as Houston.
Their rush Ds are very similar, Jax 86 yards a game, Houston 94, but Houston's pass D is significantly better.
Houston 184 yds/game, Jax 218, and Houston is much better at rushing the passer, and they don't blitz as much.
Houston 47 sacks, Jax 32.
Stats aside, I've watched both teams this year, and the eye test says Houston is in a different league.
Jax good D, Houston great D.
