KC struggled to get past the rebuilding Panthers at home.

The Steelers aren’t looking too good against Garrett Gilbert at the moment.

I really believe that #1 seed is going to be there for the taking for us.

What a major bummer that we could have multiple home playoff dates, and not be able to attend.

It's a friggin joke. A poopl ou ad if teams are letting a relatively small portion if fans in...it's outside for Christ sake.

I didn't say admit 72,000+ either .... maybe 10 - 15k.

Not like 10-15k is gonna affect the game at all though & give the home team an advantage

The NFC West is the best division in football.

I’m a Leafs season ticket holder, and they sent me a survey last week - asking us if we would want to attend games, if we would want to have less tix per game but more games, etc.

NFL is probably different, but for NHL I really wonder how many fans would prefer to watch at home for the upcoming season.

I may have missed a game, but by my count the combined record of teams they played before the Bills is something like 14-25....maybe College teams then,, lol?

cbs top (four) headlines during PIT/DAL omitted the Bills win over the NFC West-leading, previously 6-1 Seattle Seahawks led by Allen's 400+yd. passing day

just a little note

I don’t understand it. The Seahawks were 6-1 coming into this game as the number one ranked offense. It’s clear that’s how you win in this league week in week out.

The Bills beat them by 10 by putting up 44 points.

STATEMENT WIN!!!

For some possibly it matters what Division when only 2 of 7 games were against those teams, right?

It’s gotta be weird to sit in a stadium or arena at only 20% (or less) capacity

I think I’d rather just watch at home

The Bills will not get any respect until they win a playoff game.

Just accept it.

Both teams will have issues in the playoffs unless they get better play from their defenses

Don’t win too many games in the playoffs giving up points like that

That portion I agree with.
And I give the Bill's credit for sure.
My take was that the Seahowks did not look like the best team in the toughest division...Offensively nor Defensively. Wilson normally escapes pressure and makes D's pay for playing with an aggressive approach. I did not see that today.
Good on the Bills...fun game to watch.

Four turnovers.

If I’m a Seattle fan, I am telling myself that it was an aberration and it doesn’t reflect Seattle’s true nature.

Hard to say how many of them were the Bills being good vs. the Seahawks being bad.

I’m still exactly where I was on week 1: the Bills are going to win the division easily, but it won’t mean poop unless they win a playoff round.

Today was pretty franking good, though. I thought they were going to lose by 10.

For sure! And you should.
But that is just a different issue than what my post was about.

Wilson was pressured and knocked down the most of any QB all year long this week.

It’s how you beat them. The Cardinals did it to them too and caused Wilson to have 3 turnovers.

But the Seahawks are going to score and score a lot.

There aren’t many teams that can score like they can.

Edit: AND I add out score the number one scoring team in the league.

Wilson is putting up numbers that haven’t been seen since Manning in 2013 and possibly Brady in 2007

I watched the 2013 Broncos score 40 points a game and get steamrolled in Super Bowl 48. Ironically enough to the Legion of Boom in Seattle to Mr. Wilson himself.

The Seahawks will be lucky to get to the Super Bowl this year with that defence.
