Ga boy Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Quote Bills win17-10. On a side note: here it is 9:15AM on Friday, and ESPN is all Cowboys. Bills do not exist. Hope they don't name a Cowboys coach later tonight since it will pre-empt all Sat pre-game coverage. Geez!!

The other side of the same coin are the trolls who are always willing to entertain fetishes of that nature.
Matt in KC Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Bills - win Houston - not quite win 23 - 22 ?

They're not one of the NFL darlings that routinely get calls. They have a porous defense. Josh Allen has faced a string of tough defenses. The Texans are not that. They are a team that can play well, but also is mercurial and throws out the occasional clunker. They lost big to the Broncos, for example. Especially if Fuller is out or unable to contribute beyond a decoy, which will become evident fairly quickly, they are not an offensive juggernaut. On balance, the Bills are probably the more talented team and they are better coached. It's not implausible that Buffalo wins. The Texans could also win, but a blowout Houston victory is not the most likely scenario and so it is not at all "just being realistic" to subscribe to that narrative.

They do not take electoral college into consideration. Trump lost the popular vote. In any event the Bills have been so healthy all season 538 has great data on them. But as they say, "any given Sunday", or Saturday 1
LewPort71 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Bills 23 Texans 21 I have never left ANY game early. No matter the score.
Like A Mofo Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Im calling it: This is Josh Allen's national moment where he shines and elevates his status: 19-28 255 and 3 TD Bills win 27-21 1

I would argue that they’re due for a big playoff performance. They beat NE and KC. Let’s not kid ourselves. 1
Bray Wyatt Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 One thing that I do like is that they hardly use Hyde in the passing game, so if they are running a screen (which we have struggled with) we will have a bit of a tip on that as Johnson will likely be in the game

How many games have the Bills not been close in down to the wire in their FIVE losses this year? You think you will be able to leave by the 4th quarter and make it sound like a blessing. Yeah that's rooting for the team and being realistic. Edited January 3, 2020 by Scott7975

There is no such thing as being “due” in this context at all. A total non issue. A Bills win would not be a true upset. I read your post about leaving the stadium early when the Bills get clobbered. Sounds like emotional self protection to me. 1

Or against NO on Year 1 of McDermont? It’s absolutely possible with the explosive offense they’re playing
Mat68 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Bill's 27 Texans 13. This game imo goes very similar to the Dallas game. On the first big stage Allen steps up and has his best game. Go Bills.
