The 2019 NFL Season thread

Boy the Panthers threw this game away against the Skins
Their remaining games look to be more L's and will not break .500 this season

The 49ers @ Ravens was a solid game during nasty weather
I don't think the Bills will have an answer for stopping them next week

[MartyS (Gromit)]

Well that does it for the Eagles, it's just pathetic and demoralizing for them to lose to Miami....

The Texans upset the Patriots 28-22 
The Bills are now just 1 game behind them in the AFC East

[RVR II]

For the first time in 12 years, the Buffalo Bills will be playing football on Sunday night. 

The NFL has announced that the Bills' game against the Steelers in Week 15 has been flexed out of the afternoon slot and into "Sunday Night Football." The game, which will be played in Pittsburgh, was previously scheduled to kickoff at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, but will now kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.

Chiefs and Packers both won and leading their divisions. Both wins helped greatly by terrible play/turnovers by their opponents.

Chiefs have Patriots up next.

This is freaking hilarious, 7 year old girl rants about how bad the Eagles are playing this year:

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera was fired today!

I'm in total disbelief as I never saw this coming.. He was a proven winner and I don't think he was the problem.. We just needed to get rid of Cam Newton and rebuild

[ihavemyreasons]

Yeah, Ron Rivera makes no sense to me. Betting he won't have much trouble finding his next job.

Welp I found out this afternoon I have to work Amazon Sunday at my post office for the next 3 weeks 
BUT I will be allowed to bring in my Digital rabbit-ears antenna I bought years ago from Radio Shack and my 13" HDTV and speaker bar so I will get to at least watch the game being broadcast nationwide on CBS while working so I Hope my 9-3 Bills can somehow pull out the victory over the 10-2 Ravens in Buffalo

It was a defensive battle but the Bills came up short. .
On to Pittsburgh

Buffalo Bills playoff picture is pretty clear: Just win once and they're in

ORCHARD PARK – All the Buffalo Bills needed to do Sunday afternoon was take care of their own business against Baltimore, and they would have been celebrating their entrance into the NFL playoffs Sunday night.

Four things needed to occur for the Bills to earn their second postseason berth in the last 20 years, but second in the three years that Sean McDermott has been the head coach.

Three of the four dominoes tumbled just right, the exception being Buffalo's 24-17 loss to the Ravens at New Era Field.

Houston lost to Denver, Oakland lost to Tennessee, and Indianapolis lost to Tampa Bay. It would have been the perfect storm for Buffalo, that is until Marcus Peters broke up Josh Allen's fourth-down pass over the middle from the Ravens 16 with 1:03 left to play to secure Baltimore's victory which, by the way, enabled it to clinch its own playoff berth.

Although they let a chance slip away, all the Bills need to do is win one of their last three games to clinch a berth. Cut and dried.

Buffalo continues to hold the first AFC wild-card spot with its 9-4 record, followed closely by the Pittsburgh Steelers who beat Arizona Sunday. Also 8-5 are the Titans and Texans who are now tied atop the AFC South.

Should the Bills go into Pittsburgh Sunday night and win on national TV, they're in. If not, they have another chance on Saturday, Dec. 21 at New England. If they lose again, they would carry a three-game losing streak into the season finale at home against the Jets. Not ideal, but hope would still abound.

Whether they would need to win that game remains unknown at this point because other teams could stumble on the way to the finish line and nine wins might be good enough.

The Steelers host the Bills but then close on the road at the Jets and Ravens. A Pittsburgh sweep is not out of the question, though, because by the time it plays Baltimore, the Ravens could have the No. 1 overall seed locked up and might rest some starters.

The Titans and Texans have two enormous showdowns in the final three weeks that will decide who wins the AFC South. In between in Week 16, the Titans host New Orleans while the Texans are at Tampa Bay.

All that said, the only thing that matters is Buffalo holds its own destiny in its hands, and one more win gets the job done.

Buffalo Bills playoff picture is pretty clear: Just win once and they're in

Pretty impressive after so many years

So the Patriots were caught spying AGAIN..
This time on the 1-12 Bengals

No wonder they've lost the last 2 games 

[RVR II]

So I requested to come in later in the morning on Monday so I could watch the Bills @ Steelers Sunday Night Football game on Dec. 15 and it was Approved!

I doubt I'll be able to get Next Saturday evening Dec. 21 off for the Bills @ Patriots game starting at 4:30pm as that will be the busiest weekend before Christmas so I'll just have to bring in my digital antenna rabbit-ears and 13" HDTV and watch the first half of the game at work
