Ya Digg?

Ahhhhh there it is!! The old “can’t expect to play like that and beat________” Boeing cliche that’s used in here all the time after a close win. Here’s the thing about close wins-it’s an absolute impossibility to play a flawless game and also have the game be close. All i keep reading all season is “the Bills got lucky that this didn’t happen” no they are winning some close games and losing some close ones. A big complaint on here is the Bills can’t win close games. Guess what, they won a close game yesterday. In case you have forgotten, the other team is also paid to play football too. i feel like you’re ignoring the responses being made to your posts-not one person has said they played a good game yesterday. They played an ugly game BUT THEY STILL WON. That is infinitely more important than whatever point you’re trying to make

Ok cool, I’ll play along-if Josh doesn’t inexplicably throw 3 int against the jets, if the defense stops Mac Jones on the last drive, if the Bills don’t have 12 men on the field against Denver, if the Bills aren’t part of an experiment against Jacksonville that Goodell admitted was a bad idea, if Elliot doesn’t make a 60 yarder in that rain and wind, those are all Bills wins. so take the Toney one if that makes you feel better

But this is the problem with your posts-you don’t have to care but you need to pay attention. Every team has ugly wins, every team plays inconsistently (it’s almost like the other team is also paid to play football). We complain that the Bills can’t win the close games, and then when they finally do we complain that they are inconsistent or “well they can’t play like this against __________” Just keep winning games, that’s all that matters

You know how not works around here-there are so many highlight watchers on here who take that as gospel for the other teams while simultaneously scrutinizing every detail about the Bills. I said this in another thread, every team that will end up in the playoffs this year has ugly wins, that’s not just a Bills thing. If you go back and look at the Chiefs games from last year, they are loaded with ugly wins-nobody cares though because they won the Super Bowl

and the winner for worst take in this thread goes too….

This is the epitome of “I only watch highlights of other teams but scrutinize everything the Bills do.” Saying no one wants to face them doesn’t mean they are going to the Super Bowl, but they won’t be an easy out. You’re just having an easy reaction to a tough win. Maybe that makes you feel better if they do lose in the playoffs, I don’t know, but every team that’s about to be in the playoffs has ugly wins on their resume. I’ll take an ugly win every day of the week-it’s the NFL, every team can win on any day

Many of you are missing the point. You’re right, he probably won’t get $15 million, but I doubt he even had the intention of actually getting that much. My guess is this is an early negotiating tactic by him and his agent-good chance this will get him more than what he would’ve gotten otherwise

Oh Gabe-just another disappointing performance. Was talking with a couple of friends and we were all really angry that Gabe really did nothing on that deep ball to him. Yes it was under thrown, but he didn’t fight to try and slow up to catch it or draw a PI. It barely landed behind him too, seemed like a really poor effort

Someone needs to explain to me how Purdy is even in the conversation. He’s not even the MVP of his own team (you might even make the argument he is third on his team behind CMC and Deebo) but he’s the favorite for league MVP?? How does that make sense?

Dude if you're 34 you are the epitome of millenial still living at home in your mom's basement. Clearly I struck a nerve with a joke - relax buddy. I know it's a big time today, everyone is tightly wound...didn't realize the meme would get you so bad. Take a xanax or whatever you need to calm down, enjoy the game, and Go Bills!

So the Bills get the AFCW at home the next 2 years, so there’s still a good chance at least 2 out of the next 3 played against the chiefs will be in Buffalo

It happened to the Lions a couple of years ago too. Right at the goal line to win the game. If I remember correctly they even were stopped from spiking the ball to stop the clock. Instead replay happened, they did a 10 second run off but since it was under 10 seconds left the game ended

Jake Browning won in overtime today, that doesn’t make him more clutch than Josh

McD I get, but explain why you don’t trust Josh. Dude averages 300 yards in the playoffs and had better than a 4-1 td to interception ratio. Not only that, but Josh has given the Bills the lead on his final possession 3 times this year in games they have lost…why isn’t there trust in Josh?

Don’t forget, he’s also the guy who a week or two later had a ridiculously stupid roughing the kicker penalty that almost cost the Bills another game…but yeah, can’t wait to see him out on the field 🤮🤮🤮

The guy also gets torched many games too-he can be fooled with a couple of double moves. Have some friends who are cowboys fans and to be honest they don’t really like the guy. Yes he gets turnovers but he gives up huge plays (very similar to Diggs). If he was a great corner, teams wouldn’t throw at him as much as they do

He’s worth more than “anything the Bills can get” why would you trade him when he’s at his absolute lowest value? He’s on a rookie contract, there’s no reason to trade him in the off-season for nothing, keep him, see if he has something, and then if you need to move on in training camp there is always an injury and teams are looking for guys-you’ll have more value then

Montrell Washington, Kyle Philips, Simi Fehoko, Cornell Powell, Joe Rees, Colin Johnson….all taken in the 5th round in the last couple of years. Ever heard of any of them? Me neither. But cool you named the one good 5th round receiver in the last several years

Hodgins has 17 catches this year and is buried on the depth chart of a team that has no receivers. I get it, people saw him score a couple of touchdowns last year, but he gets no YAC and wouldn’t be doing much of anything in Buffalo either. He’s not a valuable player

I have no idea if this is sarcastic or serious

It would send Sherfield way before Harty

Needs to apologize to the league?? That’s going a little too far. He’s going to get a fine this week, he will talk in his presser on Wednesday about it, say it was heat if the moment and try to walk things back, then everyone will move on. Guys get mad all the time. This is exactly why I disagree so much with people on here who say Josh NEEDS to get in his teammates faces. The yelling, tantrums, and outbursts don’t make a great leader. I’ll take how Josh handles things over an embarrassing meltdown any day

I hate this “yeah, but” thinking. The Bucs game argument is such an asinine, ridiculous argument to say the Bills were “gifted” the win because the guy didn’t turn around. Give me a break. As far as yesterday is concerned, outside of the one play everyone is talking about, the defense DID close out that game without “extreme levels of drama” if you wanted to call those gifted or lucky wins then fine, but then make sure you realize that every good team in the league also has 2-3 of those this season as well

It doesn’t have to always be mutually exclusive, both things can happen. Their pass rush was great AND the line played terribly
