This is when I start getting nervous - Easy wins.....

[Billsfan1972]

Been so long since the Bills controlled games start to finish.  The first three years with McD, yes some convincing wins, but more often then not, one score games.

 

Early this year much the same thing, and that was a concern.

 

Now however I can't help but think about the 2019 Ravens (and yes much can be blamed on Lamar not being tested) & that we are cruising like they were last year and wondering how we'll do in a close game.

 

Yes I know Josh & his fourth quarter stats......

 

Again a Bye would have been great (and yes sometimes that certainly affects the team), but last year we saw exactly how the Ravens reacted when pushed around (and folded) and there is trepidation that the Bills too need to be ready for a close game, which they haven't had since Arizona.

 

Heck this hasn't happened to the Bills since the early 90's.😜

The Fish and their defense should be a good test.

This isn't the same old Bills. These guys like to win.

We all as traumatized Bills fans need to re-learn something in the words of the gone too soon Connery...

[LeGOATski]

The Bills have been great in crunch time, have the most clutch QB, and are built to come back.

 

The Ravens were never built to come back. If they can't get a fast lead and then pound you into the ground, they usually struggle.

That is the thing.  Teams have tried to push us around during this stretch.  San Fran stuck out to me with how hard they were hitting and coming after us.  Even the Patriots came out swinging last night, but we didn't fold.

Not sure some of the teams we've had over the years did.

 

I remember Jim Kelly commenting on a Dick Jauron team that you could never tell by being in the locker room if they'd just won or lost.

There’s a HUGE difference between this Bills teams and last year’s Ravens team. That Ravens team was built to run the ball and keep their leads through running and using play action to their tight ends. They couldn’t come back if they got down multiple scores. This Bills teams has shown they can win the close games and they have a quarterback who can get the ball to his wide receivers. They can control the clock (I believe they lead the league in 10+ play drives) and can score quickly. On any given Sunday as they say any team can lose, but this is a different team than the one you are referencing 

[ProcessTruster]

I don't know, other than the Steelers, they haven't played a loaded team since the KC game.   We shall see.  If Phins get solid QB play Sunday, that will be a test.

It’s almost January, and the board isn’t filled with mock free agency and drafts. Life is good. Enjoy the ride and stop worrying about completely useless other ideas of who did what in past years. Live in the now. Let Baltimore worry about Lamar.

No doubt.

People are more afraid of the Bills breaking down than Balboa was of Clubber Lang while running in the sand.

Just remember,  as scary as Bal,Ten, KC seem, they're looking at Buffalo and are more scared. 

This team is the real deal Holyfield

I feel the same way. I always think ...if I die on this thing I’m going to feel like such an arse!

True story: I got on The Viper once, in mid 1980s, and had ridden it a few times already -- so when they asked you to check that the harness was tight around you and I was able to push mine up, I yelled and screamed at the ride operator and then the ride started.  I thought I was going to die.  I didn't lose my wallet or my life or anything.

Dick Jauron's "it's hard to win in the NFL" would beg to disagree.  Some like excuses for losing more than winning - it's easier not to put the work in and come up for reasons why you fail instead of putting in the hard work and winning for a change.

[BuffaloButt]

Other teams should be nervous against the Bills!
