Bills were 0-2 at Home and 2-2 on the road in the 6 games vs Playoff Qualifiers. Both Bills wins were on the Road!
My takeaways:
Josh is not the reason Bills lost these games. Our D was a liability vs TEN, TAM 1st half and 1st NE game.
Bills played well enough to win in all but PIT loss
And a throwaway:
Buffalo Defense finished with 42 sacks, with 14 of them (1/3 of total for season) occurring in last 2 games vs Falcons and Jets. Getting better or weak opposition?
