BillsFan4 Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 I can’t sleep. I’m still too excited about the win!

ALF Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 I'm thankful we did not play against a healthy Big Ben with AB and Bell . We are over due for a break to say the least.

Just now, ALF said: I'm thankful we did not play against a healthy Big Ben with AB and Bell . We are over due for a break to say the least. Well free agency happens every year... and the bills have basically shut out every qb they’ve played this season.... but whatever I guess. 2

It's a ***** situation for Tomlin but he's clearly doing the best he can with what he's got so his job is safe and maybe this year they'll look at getting someone to come up behind Big Ben(that'd be an ironic twist). 2

I agree, It would be in the Steelers best interest to start looking for Big Bens replacement IMO. Tua perhaps
Mark Vader Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 We are in the playoffs! Yes, it was an ugly win. Who cares?! This team believes in itself, and what the coaching staff is preaching, and they are not finished nor are they satisfied with where they are at. The Bills are going to continue to fight and reach their main goal. What a great feeling this is. Making the playoffs with still more time to go in the regular season. At the start of the year, I thought this team had the capability of making the playoffs, but seeing it come to fruition has been incredible. GO BILLS!!! 3 1
njbuff Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Finally won a game in Pittsburgh. Only the second time EVER in the regular season.

He entered the season on the hot seat and has helped navigate his team to legit playoff contention." Repeating a terrible narrative does not make it true. Edited December 16, 2019 by Warcodered 2
Coach Tuesday Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Anyone else think Collinsworth is still walking around his house muttering to his dog that they should throw the ball to Washington? 3 7
entropyrules Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 I am a typical pessimistic Bills fan having watched them from their inception (oh god 70 yrs old - where did the time go - was a 13 year old with those end zone passes where you got to stand in that space behind the goal end line in the old war memorial for the Chargers championship game). I will admit I didn't think they would beat Pitt at home but that victory got me so juiced I couldn't sleep....I think these guys in spite of that "weirdly wait until the fourth quarter to show up offense" can do some damage in the playoffs. 3

John in Jax Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Great win, glad they won....but let's be honest, they only won because Pitt had a 4th stringer at QB. Most of the time, the Duck was just throwin' them up, and hoping his guy came down with it.

At the start of the year, I thought this team had the capability of making the playoffs, but seeing it come to fruition has been incredible. GO BILLS!!! Absolutely! Right or wrong, a lot of people were dreading this stretch...Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and New England*. The Bills have weathered the storm nicely and are coming together/peaking at the right time and the D has turned it up a notch. Earliest playoff clinch since 1991...let that sink in everyone. Many on this board have never gotten the pleasure of experiencing that until now. Enjoy it...hopefully, this is the start of the new normal. Although they lost to the Ravens, that was the first time in a long time that I actually started looking forward to playing the Cheats* again. It's payback time on the national stage again, boys and girls. Let's finish off this revenge tour in style and head for bigger and better things in January! GO BILLS!!! 5

mannc Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) It’s forgotten now, and it ended up not hurting us, but what about that phantom facemask penalty called on Milano (or was it Edmunds?)? Maybe the worst call I’ve ever seen—and that’s saying a lot. Edited December 16, 2019 by mannc

I'm tired of waiting till the 4th qtr for this offense to show up. This is not sustainable. 1
