Brady has almost run more plays with motion in 2 weeks than Dorsey did all season.

Yes, the scheme is identical, because you can’t realistically install a brand new scheme mid season. But the playcalling is light years better.

Assuming the Bills win out:

- 12-5, 4-2 AFC East, 7-5 AFC

AFC East

- If Miami won all OTHER remaining games, they would win the division. If Miami lost 1 OTHER game, Buffalo takes the division , head to head tiebreaker.

Wild Card

Denver / Cincy are 1 back, game in hand, with H2H tiebreaker. If Houston catches Jacksonville, they lose H2H there. If Cleveland or Pittsburgh are there at the end, they’d likely win on conference record tiebreaks.

The answer is yes, they can still win out and not get in, but it’s not very likely that would happen. Would take some amazing runs from some not great teams and backup QBs.

That being said, they don’t control their own destiny as of today.

There are no such things as contracts without cap hits.

Although it gets complicated, as a general rule, any guaranteed money in the deal will hit your cap eventually. There are lots of ways to shift things around to dictate WHEN that is, but it will always hit.

Non-guaranteed money hits the cap in the year it’s paid. This is the money that ‘disappears’ if the player is released.

Wild card is going to be tough to get because of the conference losses already.

They have a chance to turn it around, but tough sledding.

"Fire Dorsey with literally zero replacement options? "

The current QB coach, Joe Brady, has more time as an NFL OC than Dorsey does today.

There are options.

Played tons of man at Florida, but the Bills run base nickel, and tons of zone.

He just hasn’t made enough progress picking up the zone scheme here.
