Actually,  Aspirin is fine chewed. It is meant to be chewed. However chewed or swallowed causes my heart to go into overload. In fact today I had cinnamon in my Oatmeal this morning which contains salicylates just like Aspirin so my heart goes into "check mode" as I call it and tries to beat faster on my upper ventricles thus throwing things off. My point is this, life is too short to go on and on about a lost football game. There are important things in life like family and friends. Then there are things that really dont matter, like football. Dont run yourself into a grave over this man. Not worth it. 

Hope you're well.

 

No worries here.  I've got plenty of non-football good stuff going on.  I'm having a blast.  The Bills aren't ruining my days.  With this being a football forum, that's the topic of choice.

Realistically, the Jags are 1-0, KC 0-1, and I should pick the Jaguars. I can't do it. I still see the AFC as belonging to the Chiefs, and their starting at 0-2 is better for the Bills in the long run.

Same with the Bengals. They are the Bills' Achilles Heel. They need to lose early and lose often.

 

It's not even a question.  KC and Cincy can't possibly lose enough games.  I will root against them every week unless/until they are eliminated from the playoffs (which won't happen).

● Pittsburgh Steelers @ LV Raiders
● Philadelphia Eagles @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers - we play both Hmmm
● LA Rams @ Cincinnati Bengals

I picked Baltimore over Indy because the further away from winning their division Cincinnati is, IMO, the better for the Bills.

Both Cleveland and Tennessee look beatable right now. I threw a dart. I am curious what others think.

Both Tampa and Philadelphia are 2-0, and the Bills play both. For strength of schedule, it will matter who the Bills beat. If they beat both, does SofS matter?

Disagree.  As you said, Indy isn't going to win their division.  They're also not going to take a Wild Card spot.  Baltimore could take either, as could the Bills.  A Ravens loss helps the Bills in seeding if both clinch division or both clinch wild cards.

Disagree again.  Cleveland more likely to make playoffs.  AFCS is garbage outside Jacksonville

The Jets host the Chiefs the week after this, I want them to beat the Pats (who I don't worry about) and think that they have a chance against K.C.

NY Giants @ San Fransisco 49ers  - Jints (SoS)

Indianapolis Colts @ Baltimore Ravens  - Dolts (They won't be anything should they sneak into the playoffs; Crows might be dangerous in the playoffs)
Tennessee Titans @ Cleveland Browns - Keebler Elves (See Dolts - Crows)
Atlanta Falcons @ Detroit Lions - Whomever helps SoS more
New Orleans Saints @ Green Bay Packers -  See Flakes - Lions
Houston Texans @ Jacksonville Jaguars  - Texasses
Denver Broncos @ Miami Dolphins  - Donkeys
LA Chargers @ Minnesota Vikings  - Vikes
NE Patriots @ NY Jets  - Cheats (Bills can go 2-0 vs them)
Buffalo Bills @ Washington Commanders  - Da Bills
Carolina Panthers @ Seattle Seahawks  - See Flakes - Lions
Dallas Cowboys @ Arizona Cardinals - Pokes (SoS)
Chicago Bears @ KC Chiefs  - Da Disfunctional Bears
Pittsburgh Steelers @ LV Raiders  - The Las Vegas Football Raiders (Said in his best Chris Berman voice)
Philadelphia Eagles @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers  - Iggles (SoS)
LA Rams @ Cincinnati Bengals  - Lambs (Can't ever root for the Zebras)

 

And respectfully, disagree w/ B-Man, want the Jest hungry going into KC and the Chefs overlooking them.  That's how upsets of the Chefs are cooked up.

This week, I am the only one that thinks Indianapolis over Baltimore is better for the Bills.
@devnull is the only one that thinks Tennessee over Cleveland is better for the Bills.
Much dissent over the Patriots vs Jets game (although on further review, I think flaming meteor is the right call).

I think those are the disagreements.

I can never bring myself to root for the *Patriots.

If you look at it as hoping their opponent loses rather than they win, it becomes more palatable and isn't actually rooting for them.

 

Thought that's another game that it probably should be Osama we're all rooting for.

The only two teams I can't ever root for are the Dolphins and *Patriots (so it was flaming meteor last week). As such, I'll be rooting for the Jets today.

I still have this question: For strength of schedule, it will matter who the Bills beat. If two teams are playing each other (NFCE), and the Bills beat them all, does SofS matter?

The Jets aren't doing anything in the AFCE, that is between Buffalo and Miami. Therefore, since Buffalo is going for the #1 seed,  keeping KC as far from #1 (it is about time Mahomes played an away playoff game) as possible is in the Bills best interest.

I probably should have said Steelers over Texans to keep the Bengals as far away from the division title as possible, but I am also looking at that division beating each other up and being a sh*t-show. 🙂
