Yup, the Waddle drop was the one chance to make this a game. It was a small chance but that was the chance.

The chance is gone. This isn't the Chargers. The Bills know how to finish.

Assuming this game heads that way, five of the six 2-7 games have been complete blowouts. Who would’ve thunk?

When your QB is this bad one drop doesn't mean a thing.

Everyone. Who cares though? It makes regular season more fun and we get extra games. SF/Sea was good for a half.

Holy shit. If you have 1.4m available to bet do you really need to do this to try to win 11k?
If you’re a professional gambler; it would not be unusual at all to have a bankroll at least that large. You can’t make money from nothing. I have no idea if this was a pro or not. Maybe not if he had that much money at DK and was still able to get such a large bet down (although it’s really not as large as it looks - it’s an $11k bet, not $1.4M). I’d love to know more about where this person’s money came from. It’s fun to think that he may have accumulated it over time by making “safe” bets like this.

The amount of playoff stats some of these QBs will accumulate by facing a 7th seed tomato can at home instead of having a bye will be insane.
Yeah, the two seed is almost always very good, and I think the seventh will be really Bad most years. Maybe once in a a while you’ll have a good team that had a lot of injuries.

I love that the Dolphins did the little ball spinny celebration after that first down. Like... you converted a 3rd and 3 down 14 points in the first quarter.

The risk/reward sounds so out of whack it reads like somebody wanted to dry clean some drug dough ASAP. They may have splainin' to do.
How does winning 10k help you launder 1.4 mil? You still lack a way of explaining where the 1.4 came from.

Yeah, my guess, if real, is that this dude wanted to make a quick $11K that he would then use to make a more aggressive play. His problem is that he employed this strategy with a choking franchise and bad coach. You could have gotten -10000 after bills went up 14-0. That is when you do it. Miami has no chance in this game.

Ref should have said, "Buffalo is challenging the ruling on the field that that was an incomplete pass, and now someone from NY is in my ear telling me it was a good catch. First down, Buffalo." But gotta get the commercials in.

My guess is byy the time the feds get the AML data from the casino the $1.4 M has been washed starched and folded and turned into chips or a cashiers check.
Even moving beyond the metaphor, that’s not really how money laundering works.

Doubly so when it goes frickin’ viral, eh?
