Want: Bills over Lions; Expect: 49ers over Chiefs

Luckily, I'll be at the game this year! Go Bills! Last year, took kids to the tailgate but thankfully watched the "game" from home.

They scored right out the gate in the second half.
I think you have to put what you are saying in proper perspective. Yes it's true about not scoring in the four drives.
The Bills were up 14 points. The Tampa offense didn't feel scary or dynamic. The 14 point lead pretty much felt insurmountable so long as the Bills didn't turn over the ball. I was satisfied with the Bills killing the clock and not taking unnecessary chances. I absolutely wanted them to punt on the two 4th and short opportunities.
Ideally, you want to close out these games. At the same time, I was fine with not turning over the ball, punting , and seeing if Tampa could score two TDs. I really never felt like they would be successful. It got very scary but so many fluke things happened to get Tampa in that position. I doubt you see so many weird bounces, bad calls, or horrific penalties like that in a long time.
The Bills were at home, up 14 points, vs a pretty poor offense, and Baker Mayfield isn't exactly Mahomes.
Overall, I think the Bills offense was fine. They looked very good and different in a good way. Nice play calls, nice pace, diversity, and creative. Josh looked like Josh!!!
I usually look at the negative side of things when it comes to the Bills. This time I find myself strongly gravitating to the positive. This was the first time since the Miami game that I feel this offense just might be able to carry the team. That's exciting to this fan.
One of your better posts!! : ) I came away with very similar sentiments. Wasn't too worried at the end but also wasn't "loving it" - But we saw the emergence of some younger playmakers, including Shakir who I practically forgot existed, and Kincaid who I was expecting to catch fire with Knox out. And I think it's clear that this was viewed as more or less of a "must win" so we saw Josh's legs more (I think they want to save that for later tough games/playoffs if they can). And seeing the rhythm on offense was excellent and I'm sure we could have scored more if really needed. And I don't recall ever seeing so many "50/50" situations go against us//fluky crap. If the Bucs started that same long drive in the 4th 1,000 times, 75-80% of the time it would have stalled out completely or ended in a FG. Now we get a 1.5 week rest.

Let's be balanced in our assumptions - If every week is its own thing, that also means we could see the type of offense we expect. And maybe our defense struggles a bit. Who knows. But to assume NE will give us a lot of trouble because every week is different/any given Sunday, the same logic should apply to our offensive struggles - New week/new chance to get on track! Let's Go!! Go Bills!!
-
I am expecting a balanced, effective attack on offense carrying over from the end of last game (or at least one can hope!). In that setting, it's hard to pick just one player but my vote is Kincaid - 6 catches for 85-90 yards and 2 TDs!

You mean they are like every other team in the NFL where they don't always play the same every week and aren't robots?
Precisely.

Let's break down the 4-2 for a minute: One very high quality win (Miami); two solid wins (Washington, Vegas); one strange/ugly win (NYG); one "bad" loss (NYJ); and one understandable loss, perhaps, with lots of injuries (J-ville in England). Objectively, that looks reasonably good overall but with a lot of inconsistency. Makes you start to wonder things like "which team will show up this week?"; "are we doomed because of injuries?"; "what's the identity of the offense?". I personally remain cautiously optimistic and am trying to enjoy the ride . . . Go Bills!!

In the game thread I said he knee was down in the replay when they showed it and then went to commercials I thought after them we would have the ball but nothing
At the time, I thought he might have been down too and that we should've considered challenging it. Oh well. A win is a win but that was not a pleasant evening of football for Bills fans!

You are wrong. The last column that indicates the 54% is titled "No Playoffs".
I stand corrected, thanks. I hadn't clicked on one of the key links.

Interesting that this one only gives the Bills a 54% chance to make the playoffs. And shows both the Colts & Steelers w higher probability to get in.
I may be wrong about this but I think the 54% is the probability of winning the first round (every % in the table is the probability of winning in said round). So our chances of making the playoffs would be higher than that.

Hard to decide between AJE, Oliver, and Floyd. But I'll go with Big Ed this game.

If you put a couple Pop Tarts in the toaster, it is ill-advised to use your bare hands (fingers) to take them out. Trust me!!

Can't get dolphin to cook up here in Canada.
Damn you Skippy!!!!
I so pumped for tomorrow's season defining game that I decided to do the cooking today and concentrate on beveraging tomorrow.
I had two sizeable chunks of Red Tuna that I was going to smoke on the Big Green Egg but decided to grill them instead. Overcooked them a little -- not purple in the centre -- so I chopped sweet onions and celery and mixed the flaked up tuna with mayo and fresh ground pepper to make tuna salad for sandwiches tomorrow.
I did smoke two Pork Bellies and a Beef Tenderloin wrapped in a lb. of bacon. Worked out great!!! Sliced up the beef for more sandwiches. Also sliced up the "bacon" for BLTs tomorrow morning featuring garden tomatoes.
Steamed 2 lbs. mussels as well that I topped with a fish broth based sauce but it looks like the wife finished them off so none left for tomorrow's game.
The three dogs won out with the bacon and pork fat being mixed into their kibble.
What's on your menu for tomorrow?
My invite must have gotten lost in the mail . . . Maybe another time?!

Hard to say between DE and DT (up the middle is key, but also have great talent on the edge) - I'll go with Oliver (with Floyd and Bernard not far behind).
-
This is such a tough one to predict. I'm going with Bills 34 Phish 27 (with some of the 27 coming in quasi-garbage time in the 4th).

LOL. I shan’t do any of those things. I will admit that thread isn’t the best use of FH’s bandwidth.
I will also mention how much respect the Bills mafia deserve for their charitable efforts. Tua gave you a shoutout this week. The tables thing though should be left to The Hardy Boys though.
You sound like a decent-enough chap (lady?) - Thanks for your posts and may the better team win on Sunday!! Cheers.

Terrel Bernard was the best player on the field on either side of the ball yesterday.
I am not sure I could have ever imagined myself saying that, and I don't think we ever said that in all the years Tremaine Edmunds was here.
Bernard had an INT, 2 sacks, 2 TFLs, another TFL that was nullified by a defensive penalty, led the team in tackles and was pretty much everywhere yesterday.
I am honestly stunned that we may have another Milano playing next to Milano.
I said yesterday it's like having two Milano's - Never would have expected that!

Josh also threw it away once or twice - I was very happy to see that as well. Might have been his most patient, deliberate game to date.

It's not a 3rd for him - It's [our 3rd minus their 5th] for him.
