Capaccio: Bills-Jaguars: Arrow Up/Arrow Down
‘The Bills really hurt themselves with dropped passes. Multiple players were culpable. And they often came on critical plays that either took away what should have been a first down or would’ve put them in a much more advantageous position to get one when they really needed it.’
One and done for the Bills
‘Like the Bills, the Jaguars decided to do everything to stop the run and make the other team’s quarterback beat them. Sadly, the Bills were unsuccessful. McCoy gutted it out with 75 yards on 19 carries and added another 44 yards in the receiving game, but a Bills passing game that was the worst in the NFL during the season was awful once again.’
Fans were the story this week
‘Aside from one misguided local columnist who seemed to be making the point that enjoying the Bills being back in the playoffs must mean you don’t care about a flailing city school system nor the threat of nuclear war, my sense is that fans young and old dug into the accomplishment for what it was. An end to the embarrassment of carrying around the longest postseason appearance drought in sports.’

Joe B: 7 observations from Buffalo Bills – Jacksonville Jaguars (1/7/18)
‘The Buffalo Bills had it all lined up. The Jaguars committed a terrible encroachment penalty on what would have been a field goal attempt which gave the Bills new life, and a 1st-and-goal opportunity from the one-yard line. The Bills had everything lined up and would have jumped out to a 7-0 lead, which, for this game, would have felt insurmountable based on how Jacksonville had been playing on offense. It was the ultimate swing play.’
Fans say this is just the beginning
‘Sunday began with hope, but ended on disappointing note.’

Pitoniak: Scoring drought prevents Bills from ending their playoff victory drought
‘In reality, though, Bortles didn’t beat the Bills; the Bills beat themselves. In the biggest game of his seven-year NFL career, Tyrod Taylor came up small. I don’t care if you have the Purple People Eaters, the Steel Curtain or the Monsters of the Midway playing defense for you, if you score just three points, you’re almost always going to lose.’
