I think in these last few games the opposing defenses will have a slight advantage... They can probably eliminate preparation for designed QB runs and anything that would put Josh at unnecessary risk. We still should win, but there is the factor of us being careful vs. our "nothing to lose" opponents.
True also for the Pats****...this season is a loss for them, so it's all about next year. No desire to put Maye at risk for a big injury that could sideline him for most of next year as well.

That’s about the only thing close.
In reality, the only QB who is slightly close is Elway. Big, tough, athletic, accurate, excellent decision making skills.
I agree with this (Elway, not the Cylon).
Elway was a special player and athlete that brought a ton to the table that no other QB had until then. I think the main difference between him and Josh is that Josh is a better and more effective runner. But it's hard to say if Elway would be that way if he played now...back then, I imagine most QBs didn't want to run as much because of the terrible beating they would take.

I always liked the Bledsoe / mcgahee pitch myself.
but I agree, the Bills should do BOTH of those plays, mainly to keep defenses honest we when do want to sneak it. It will make those snowplows easier
Almost sounded like Don Criqui had some money on the Seahawks in that game the way he announced that play.

We usually don't have a RB lined up that far behind JA. He's much closer in order to give him a push. If we lined up with someone further back like that, it would probably be a giveaway...(not that it wouldn't work anyway)...

Yep - I enjoyed his posts. Not sure if he's been posting, but I haven't seen anything in quite awhile.
I imagine like most Pats**** fans, once they started sucking he stopped paying attention to football.

I feel like someone just needs to tell me the most likely playoff seedings in the AFC after this. I'm too confused.

Why are people afraid of other teams?
Probably because they've watched this Bills defense the past couple of weeks.

I think he's also been setting up deeper as the year goes on, to take advantage of the leeway that officials are giving the Tackles.
Seems that way, but weren't the officials supposed to be coming down on that this year?

Dion is great, but I think a lot of this has to do with Allen. Teams can’t rush him like you would most QBs. The DE needs to keep contain, and if he dives inside, Allen escapes. I think it’s all part of a plan
Seriously. It's like Dion and the Bills are just begging the DE to dip inside and lose contain. Josh will take that any day of the week.

I think there is some merit in those arguments, but I agree there is still reason to be concerned about the Bills' D. It is much more of an issue versus some teams, less of an issue versus most teams. For instance, should Buffalo make it to the Super Bowl and Philadelphia is the NFC opponent, I think Saquon Barkley could be a real headache for the Bills.
I agree, but I'll also admit I was equally worried about the Lions runners. I mean, the Lions have one of the best running games in the league with that two-headed monster of theirs. But the Bills bottled them up from the start, and fortunately the Bills jumped out to a big enough lead that they somehow felt the need to abandon the run game.
I honestly have no idea if the Bills defense is pretty good or absolute trash, or somewhere in between.
That's why I'm looking forward to seeing how they do against a below-average offense. If they truly are trash, the Pats**** might give us headaches. If not, then we should see a dominating performance overall.

Will this be the week we learn what this Bills defense is really about?
Hearing a lot about how the last two weeks are unsustainable for the Bills D, especially when you get into the playoffs. Also hearing about how the last two weeks weren't necessarily an accurate picture of the defense, since it was against a Rams offense playing a perfect game and operating at an elite level, and a Lions team that was playing largely from behind.
Not sure I buy that. I have my concerns.
This week the defense should have no problems against a below average Pats**** offense. But we also know that we split with them last year against a terrible QB, and both games against them were close. It should still be a Bills win—but how close it is really depends on the Bills defense. Are they really as bad as we've seen over the past couple of weeks? Or was it really just the context of those two games?
We'll see...

Holy crap, that was hilarious.

Did you hate the Steve Grogan/Tony Eason Pats? That's where they are right now.
?
Those Pats went to the Super Bowl, didn't they? Sure, they got spanked like a child by the Bears, but it's not like they were terrible.

Great point. Might be a move with more foresight. Maybe Spencer isn’t playing this week in their minds?Not really. Bills usually carry 9 OL on the active roster, and before this move they only had 8. Brown is fine.

Smoot is playing well. Toohill is pretty average. Maybe they want to get Solomon a few more snaps...

FWIW, Brown mentioned after the game that it was his neck, not a stinger, and nothing serious.
-
As soon as I saw him lining up from the right hash mark, I thought we might be in trouble.

That should have been a flag. The Lion hit Taron before the ball travelled 10 yards and got to him. I know it was bang, bang and that is hard for the officials to see, but definitely should have been a flag.
I'm not clear on the rules here...I thought the kicking team can make contact with opposing players before the ball travels 10 yards, but they can't make contact with the ball until it travels 10 yards. At least, that was the old rule...do the rules now state otherwise?

The Lions had 14 points with 3:00 left in the 3rd quarter. That’s something.
Ended up with 42. Good heavens.

Is Spencer Brown playing? ...guess I coulda looked it up, but I worry about him shaking the dust off. I'd feel more comfortable with VanD.
You do know he played last week and did fine, right?

"I'd love to be proven wrong" comments after cowardly Bills declarations should get one banned.
Agreed. It's the easiest and laziest position in a discussion. Take the negative side—if it happens, you get to be proven right, if it doesn't, you get to be happy about it.

12/22/24 GAMEDAY Week 15 Bills vs Patriots* Game day Thread
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Yep. Bills need to take care of business at home these next two games, which would guarantee the #2 seed. Then the last game of the season is either for the #1 seed (if the Chiefs lose) or for resting the starters.
Can’t let up today or next week.
