Was this a meaningful late season win?

[T-Bomb]

Or did the Bills just catch the Chiefs right before they switch to their rookie QB?

 

This win was a good illustration of the only type of win Taylor can produce.  The defense HAS to show up, and he has to be playing either a bad QB, or a QB that is having a bad day or is in a slump.  Either way, he can only consistently win games where he doesn't have to go off and produce much of anything other than a handful of plays to RB's & TE's with a few token throws to wideouts and a couple dozen rushing yards.

 

The number of sub 200 yard passing games that he has leading to wins must be some type of NFL record

 

It's a good bet this is not the type of situation he will find himself in next week unless the defense knocks Brady out early and Taylor gets to face off against Hoyer.

Any win is a good win at this point.  Most wrote this game off is a lose but a win against SD.  So, we are back to a chance for playoffs.  Fall to the Pats twice and beat the colts and phins twice, could be enough.

all wins are good wins.   road wins are especially good wins

not as much as it would have been had McD not had a temporary lapse of sanity. 

 

We're still on the bottom side of the WC  #1 runner up of the runner ups

5 passing attempts in the 2nd half are why we don’t produce passing yards. I thought we took our foot off the pedal in the second half. Offense went conservative. 

 

I think it was  was a great win. On the road against a good team. The Chiefs haven’t lost at home. Alex Smith struggles vs cover 2 defense and We did a great job stopping the run.

Was it meaningful?  Of course.  It kept them solidly in position for the playoffs.

So are you saying Tyrod wins the game at the Chargers?  Really?

 

I think not.

[Royale with Cheese]

A good win for the stat column.

But at the same time, the Chiefs are a pretty bad team so who is currently on a worse downward spiral than we were.   We weren’t that much of a better team on the field so I’m not looking at the victory as impressive or anything.

So now victories only count when they're impressive?

[BuffaloBaumer]

Chiefs are bad, I mean bad. Losers of 5 out of last 6 and most recently Giants and Bills...yikes

That's not what I said at all.  Is that really how you took it?

I guess I would ask why it matters whether you deem a win as impressive or not.  Some wins are ugly.  Some aren't.

Who knows? I think it would have been a LOT closer. Do you really think we would have had as many turnovers?

[Beast]

Right now it is, so yes.

I specifically put in the first sentence that it's a good win for the stat column.

 

[bigduke6]

does this win mean anything?   sure,  for the few who believe in the playoffs!!!!

 

for those who see the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl,  nope,  just another draft position lost.

 

the percentages are against the Bills right now for making the playoffs.

bills kept running the ball when the Chiefs had 8 in the box..........got to throw in those situations....not kill shady with loss after loss.  Dennison at fault here.

[nucci]

A win that puts the Bills in wild card spot....so I would say yes....unless many here don't want to make the playoffs again

[ProcessTheTrust]

In our fan world, most of us picked LAC as a win and KC as a loss. It was a nice recovery to stop the bleeding. And now we host the Pats. Welp....
