I'm reminded of 2004 when the Bills played the Steelers B team at home..and lost, missing the playoffs.

You are quite correct. Another reminder Buffalo just can't have nice things. That was ugliness, squared.

The Chiefs aren't looking so hot as the season winds down.
The Eagles fans must be happy the way their season is going to end.

Steelers win, Eagles win, cowgirls lose, giants lose. What a wonderful Christmas season.

49er's looked sloppy at home to say the least. Lamar looked like the league MVP.

Eagles win looking lucky and ugly (again)

Cowgirls showed why that can't beat a good team on the road (again)

KC beginning to loose the air out of their ballon ?

matchups to watch this weekend ..........

Lions/Cowgirls - while Dallas is tough at home they've down so against mostly losing opponents

Dolphins/Ravens - possible pre-view of AFC championship ?

Bengals/Chiefs - can the Chiefs get back on track ?

a big shout out to the Brownies and the resurgence of Flaco, is there a team with more injuries right now playing as well ?

Good post, I agree. I'd love to see the Lyons win, but I think Dallas wins at home again. All three are must watch football if my two teams aren't playing.

Pretty sure cowgirls just stole a win there.

Tough to loose when you have the zebras on your team!

Yeah but Detroit failed on their 4th down TD attempt and could have made the FG to make it 7-6 instead of 7-3 earlier.

that game was highly entertaining, though on so many fronts there was unbelievable ineptitude, for what are to be two high seeded playoff teams

go for 2 pt conversion from the 7 yd line? wtf?

don't report properly for tackle eligible? wtf?

cowboys let lions march down the field unimpeded with 1:46 on the clock? wtf?

dak throws long and out of bounds on second down instead of eating clock? wtf?

wtf?

Eagles lose unbelievably to cards..Will have to settle for wild card as Dallas can beat Washington for the division.

It was total bullshit by the ref. The player reported eligible after Goff sent him over to report. The video shows him reporting to the ref. The ref later said the other tackle reported as eligible. The Lyons are screaming claiming the ref is lying and he made a game changing screw up. The Lyons successfully made the two point try and won the game only to have it stolen by the refs. Another reason to hire full time refs with a wholesale revision of the rules. NFL football is broken.

there was purposeful subterfuge on the lions' part in how the linemen reporting was done on that play, sending two linemen at the ref, with the non-ball catching guy saying he was eligible too... all this to fool the cowboys db's on that side. regarding WHO was actually eligible... this is clearly explained by mike florio ... https://youtu.be/IGa2d3BFMcI?si=Lt1prnr3Dke7wJBw

momentus, playoff berth changing call snafu without a doubt, but we cannot and must not pin it entirely on the ref in this case.... detroit had a big hand in this major fail, for which they pay a big price

This is what the NFL wants. Two AFC and four NFC teams on the outside still can possibly get into the playoffs. Most of the games in the final weekend have playoff implications.

Campbell notified the refs that this would be in the playbook, this wasn't a surprise to them. This was an obvious case of referee incompetence. I like Florio and watch PFT regularly, but he's often a pompous ass who gets it wrong as often as not. But, the big question to me after some reflection, why in the hell didn't Dan Campbell kick the extra point after the penalty?!? He's sure to go to overtime and has a 50/50 shot at victory. Nobody seems to be blaming the coach for a stupid decision after the penalty. Watching Florio right now and he says a revisit of the two point play is up next after the break. This means he got a lot of blowback on line for his stupid opinion and wants to reply.

Arguably the Marque Sunday nite game of the season this weekend. Bills win and they're the #2 seed, lose and they could potentially not make the playoffs ! crazy !!
