Night game Sunday: Man, you don’t want to draw the Bills in the playoffs.

 

Quote

The Bills have allowed just 14.3 points per game in their recent 5-2 run, and they showed Sunday night they’re going to be tough for any team to beat. Stout run defense and a heck of a secondary, led by White, will keep them in most games.

 

Quote

Regular-season appearances on “Sunday Night Football,” prior to last night, in the 13-year history of the NBC series:

Pittsburgh, 30.
Buffalo, 1.

I was looking up stats for another thread and came across the fact that the much maligned Bills run defense has moved to #10.

 

That means the Defense is top 10 in ypg, ppg, passing ypg, rush ypg, and turnovers.  Didn't keep digging but they are every bit as good as advertised!

That last tidbit is one of my youngest brother's biggest pet peeves. He hates the Steelers more than I do even.

As many as it takes.  Respect is earned each and every week and right now, our Bills are deserving of all the praise they're giving us.  We are currently facing a gauntlet of games in which we have been underdogs (Cowboys, Raven, Steelers, Pats) and have came out on top on two our of the three so far.  Most of the media and so called experts were predicting us to lose all four of these.  Man, do you not like the recognition and respect that we're getting right now?

Me personally I don’t like it. I like being the underdog and not being hyped up. I like the real Bills fans on here, more popular we become the more bandwagon fans jump on and make the rest of us look bad. Nothing sickens me more than Patriot and now Raven and Chief fans bragging how great their team is and you know they weren’t fans during the tougher years. And I like the fact this team plays with a chip on their shoulder that nobody outside of bills mafia believes in them. With that said it surely doesn’t upset me to see the team get some love.

Add sacks to that.

Until the Bills do it (though now the high water mark is 200?) consistently.

I couldn't agree more.  I've got the same mentality.  I love hearing about all the doubt amongst the Bills' organization and I love being the underdog, because it makes a win must sweeter and the win just feels bigger than it actually is.  At the same time, I do love it when hearing the Bills getting respect.

[Coach Tuesday]

I mean that's great and all, but King admitted in the preseason that he's not interested in covering the Bills anymore because they lack relevance as an organization (it was in one of his PFT columns in August), and he has barely mentioned them all season.  Now, on the heels of the most exciting moment the franchise and its fans have had in 20 years, his feature story is a sit-down with Mike McCarthy.

 

I used to like Peter King.  I really miss Dr. Z.  Albert Breer is the best read out there right now.

How many times do we have to view a silly and irrelevant gif in a posting?

Fitzy threw for 300 yards against the Bills.  So did Dak.  Want to guess what happened?  Yards don't matter.  Wins do.

[billsfan89]

The Bills have earned every inch of respect from the national media. This 4 game stretch they are 3 games into is almost as tough as any 4 games any team could play. The Bills play 2 of the top 4 teams in the league one home and one away (Baltimore and NE) and they play 2 tough respectable borderline teams away (Cowboys and Steelers.) They hung tough with one of the best teams if not the best team (thus far) in the league in Baltimore and beat 2 pretty decent teams on the road one handily. 

 

These past 3 games have proven the Bills are a legit good team and the fact that the Bills are still in the running for the division and a bye proves that.

I enjoy being the underdog as much as the next guy, however, we deserve the recognition. There's no such things as quiet double digit wins. We are in the spotlight now because we EARNED IT. Enjoy it.
