Luckily for the Bills that while they are the 4th most unlucky team in the NFL, they play the 2nd most unlucky and 3rd most unlucky teams back to back in the Chargers and Pats. Not necessarily...Bills could be the 3rd seed and Dolphins the 7th seed.

Their D could cause issues if the Bills don't come out ready to play.

That means they would beat the Bills and cause us to likely miss the playoffs. Garbage take.

Poona did get it but it was due to Oliver forcing Stick to get away from him and basically walk right into Ford.

Bills have had half their defensive starters out for a few games this year. No excuses

Defense is good but can be had...they've allowed some high scoring games.

Also does this "projection" factor in the huge cap increase coming this off season? The NFL hasn't given them a number yet so they may not have anything other than the current cap which will be a lot lower...expecting a 20-30 million jump in the cap next year

And now the Lawrence shoulder injury today. That being said there is no excuse no matter what happened to ever go down 30-0 to a very mediocre TB team.

Buffalo does it in the regular season too...they actually wrote the book on how to defend him when he played in Buffalo his MVP year and they were housing teams like 45-10 for weeks leading up to our game and then the Bills held them to 257 yards of offense and 24 points and made Lamar look pretty ordinary. Titans widely credited the Bills game plan as their basis for the one they used in the playoffs to beat the Ravens that year.

You mean other than not being able to execute a simple handoff on the goalline when they are about to score on the first possession of the game?

Ravens will get bounced regardless. Playoff Lamar is very different from regular season Lamar and far worse

Bills clinch with a win and any combo of 2 losses in 5 games next week consisting of teams in the mix behind them. Believe it's the Steelers, Colts, Jags, Texans and Bengals. Really might only need 1 loss since Colts-Texans play each other the following week and one of those teams will lose in Week 18. Basically looks like the only thing in that scenario that keeps them out is both Pittsburgh and Cincy winning both of their games. Bills are out in that scenario.

Maybe the one we wanted to the most but it was also likely the least important in the grand scheme of things

98%...well depending on how other games go that week. Bills could clinch a playoff birth next week with a win and a Pittsburgh loss in Seattle and a Cincy loss in KC. Basically there are 5 games that matter next week and any combination of 2 teams losing and a Bills win clinches a playoff spot.

That's an absurd FG percentage. Over 96%?? Most kickers don't even have XP percentages that high! Yeah it's really maddening when Allen has one of the lowest turnover worthy play percentage in the NFL but has so many INTs...defenders are catching everything, then you watch other games and the same dude that made an amazing over the shoulder INT against Allen last week drops an easy one that looks like a punt. Yeah considering one miss can drop a kicker like 4% since they only have a finite number of kicks during a year and there is no difficulty rating involved it's not really meaningful overall... A missed 60 yard FG is not the same as a missed 35 yard FG but for all intents and purposes they are treated the same.

I just don't think Trevor Lawrence is as good as everyone wants to make him out to be and that's where the disconnect is. People credit Lawrence for being an elite QB when he is simply a good one. Also...it's better to fight the Jags love than the law...I tried to fight the law once, and the law won. 🤣

Eh, they have 5 wins by 20+ points, I wouldn't go that far and say "nothing" looks easy. The Fins, Jets and Cowboys games looked pretty easy. Not no more Billy.

As I posted up-thread, the Bills have been the 4th most unlucky team in the NFL this year...they are well overdue for some things to go their way in games . Last year the Bills were 7th luckiest team...not surprisingly they finished 13-3. 2021, they were the 2nd most unlucky team...not surprisingly they found themselves in almost the exact same scenario they are in this year...7-6 and had to fight hard down the stretch to make the playoffs at 11-6. In 2020, they again were the 3rd luckiest team and finished 13-3. Based on trends and how it seems to alternate we very well might have luck on our side again next year.

Not sure why people would even bother with the "should" anymore when literally 2/3 of the games that "should not" have gone the Bills way the past two weeks did and teams who "should" have lost won many times over the past 3-4 weeks. There are no "should" games at this time of year.

Bills typically play their best against better teams, which is a good sign. Bills are 3-1 against the Dolphins, Cowboys and Chiefs with 2 of the wins being blowouts and the one loss was in OT to a Philly team we had a big lead on for most of the game with their kicker making a preposterous FG under the conditions to send the game to OT.

You mean after taking a huge lead and then instead of trying to coast to an easy win, Allen wanted to put on a show and win 55-0? Let's not act like the game was even close for any other reason than the Bills were determined to not simply take a 27-10 win and cruise... Miami coming back was a direct result of the Bills refusing to play smart, safe football and continuously take needless chances with the football.

More like Dallas' FB couldn't hold onto a handoff... seriously WTF was that?

I suspect a game like last year's in Buffalo. They may hang for a bit but Bills pull away comfortably. Traditionally Allen plays the Pats pretty well.

Have you seen WR1 stats against the Bills D this year? One of the best in the league against #1 WRs

Tell them punks to bring it.
