I think that's all that will matter for winning the division? They don't go up 23-9 in their gsmes and lose, at least not lately... Bills taking a lead and then usually letting the other team make a game of it is not teally a gameplan for long term success IMO. As far as Tua, yeah, way too early, but so far he's looking "clean", as some would say. Where Allen at times still looks "messy". Of course he’s looking clean the defense and special teams doing all the work , let’s see what happens when he actually has to get dirty
Greg S Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Just now, Putin said: I just can’t imagine Allen having the same numbers as Tua in the last 3 games and Bills winning a single game , Exactly. Allen is the main reason the Bills are winning. Tua is just managing the game. He hasn't ****ed up but he hasn't been a difference maker either. Granted he has only played a couple of games.

We all know this to be true, I thought... i.e. Steelers are not winning the SB. ok so they are 7-3 against a schedule thats yielded 7 out of 10 opponents at 6-3 or better. that makes it even more impressive.
Royale with Cheese Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 15 minutes ago, Gene1973 said: McDermott said he didn't think that was going to be the Hail Mary play... He assumed there were two more plays, kinda like how last week Pete Carroll expected the Bills to run more. That's face palm type coaching... That's due to the Bills defense more than anything. It doesn't matter. It's not like Hopkins was running solo down the field. They had 3 guys bracketing him and Hopkins out jumped them all. That's not coaching, that's Tre White, Micah Hyde and Poyer getting out jumped. For someone that has a lot of poor predictions, you always seem to be firm on your future ones. 6 minutes ago, Gene1973 said: No, it isn't. Record alone is not the full story.

Gene, it Parcell's wrong?
Putin Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 6 minutes ago, Gene1973 said: Yeah, I mean we still need to see if he can do that. I'm not crowning him anything. I just think as a team, the Dolphins are rising and the Bills are a bit up and down. Up and down yes but what about all the injuries that we have on defense and OL and if not for a miracle we’d be 8-2 , If we can get healthy come playoffs this team will be playing in the AFC championship game !! GO Bills !!
K-9 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 15 hours ago, High Football IQ said: I was starting to feel really good about this teamagain after last week but this loss yesterday was a very Billsy type of debacle that will be talked about for years to come unless this team somehow wins a SB this year which is very unlikely. Therefore any optimism i had has become morose and I feel somewhat empty knowing this team is on borrowed time in terms of their current division lead and even making the playoffs this year as a wildcard may be asking too much given this teams glaring deficiencies on both sides of the ball. The term for this moroseness is “fair weather fan”, the likes of which are a dime a dozen. So take a number. 1

I just think as a team, the Dolphins are rising and the Bills are a bit up and down. what's up with this guy? he wasn't here last week ( lets hear the excuse) when the bills won, was he. no, but he makes his rounds now after a loss. talking ***** about the bills and how they'll lose the division to the fins. some fan right here folks. pretty adamant about it as well. like, if the fins do win the division he will be all up in everybody's face about it, gloating. because that's what a true bills fan does. constantly putting the team and coaches down and showing up after a loss, talking *****. here's to hoping the bills win the division, because that's what a true bills fans does, hope for the best for their team unlike this cat here they call, gene. add another great quote by this awesome bills fan they call, gene. 5 minutes ago, Gene1973 said: Yeah, that part is impressive.

I mean, we won't be figuring anything out here, the Bills and Dolphins will be doing that. It just looks like the Dolphins will at some point pass the Bills in the next 3 games and that is all she wrote IMO. "all she wrote"....these next 3 games haven't happened. So how in the hell is this in the past tense? Parcell's statement is a firm black and white statement. It's either you agree or don't....there is no half truth here.

Miami has: at Broncos at Jets Bengals KC NE at Raiders at Bills The next 3 are favorable but look at the last 4 games. I wouldn't call that easy. As for the Bills they have Chargers at SF Steelers at Broncos at NE Dolphins Both teams have really tough games vs KC and Pitt respectively. Miami may have a slightly easier schedule but I think it will come down to week 17 and that game is in Buffalo
GoBills808 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 @Gene1973 I would like to propose a wager on this Bills/Dolphins thing you're obsessing over
GoBills808 Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 1 minute ago, Gene1973 said: I said "it looks like to me". My goodness... I only "gamble" with stocks. You seem pretty sure of yourself and the Dolphins. I'll give you 3.5/1 that the Bills finish regular season with a better record than the fish. Deal?

I put my phone on the passenger seat of my car and took off with no destination in mind. I hit the power on my radio, probably out of pure habit and instantly shut it off as sports talk blared through the speakers. I was in shock. I was upset. A familiar feeling I've experienced for ar least 13 years overtook my body, My beloved Bills just lost another "Billsy" game and I was upset about it! After feelings of pure joy and euphoria for about 2.5 minutes , these feelings suddenly attacked me! A funny thing happened though, the last 14 years of being 18+ and expecting that Billsy loss hangover, I wake up still feeling great about my Beloved Bills, in November!! They were a fluke play away from beating a very good team. They overcame adversity with the Covid situation, with a rough 2nd half , but still took the lead with 35 seconds remaining! I wake up realizing this team is for real Played another very good team close for 60 minutes Yes they took the L but through 10 games ,a 7-3 record, they proved they're the real deal and legit SB contenders , in my eyes.. I felt much better about this loss tan I did the New England win. We played better against a much better opponent, and should have won but for a miracle. For me, it was easy to take. In contrast, we probably should have lost against NE, played much more poorly, and NE is TERRIBLE this year. Shows you the value, or lack thereof, of wins and losses in assessing if a team is good or bad.

The fish have roughly 20% chance of winning the AFCE if I'm reading it right. I'm giving you slightly worse odds because you seem so sure of yourself and your Dolphins. I thought for sure you'd be all over this wager. 1
Stank_Nasty Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Gene1973 said: I think the only fans who don't think the Dolphins are charging are Bills fans of a certain persuasion? Most talking heads, whom many are ex-players, see it like I do. It's also an opinion? #MYGOODNESS saying that and saying they are more likely than not, gonna win the division are different things. they are coming on. but i've seen this topic come up plenty of times this week on tv and the end of the convo almost always ends with some form of "bills are still the favorites but the fins are coming".... so no, i think you're making that up to fit a narrative. you've seen one or 2 people say that and twisted it into "everyone agrees with me". sorry, not true.
