Sad but this is true. D is a fraud. But there is nothing to believe Mac Jones is any better than the other fraud QBs this defense has beaten.  Brady will destroy us by 30. And then we will pound the Pats after the Colts beat them up too. It will save McDermott job.

Fraud? Why because they threw the ball 3 times? BB even said if they had needed to they would have passed in the fourth quarter. They didn’t because they never trailed. Now could he be? Yes but the fraud went toe to toe with Dac and Tom Brady.. while he lost it wasn’t due to him. (Dac was the D, Brady was a Harris fumble literally going over the goal line )so those 2 QBs I would take over Allen (that’s an opinion)and well I’d definitely take both their Ds over the Bills.. especially Dallas when healthy. ( also an opinion) 

 

So fraud? Probably a bad term considering he has played well against better D’s than Allen has even seen this year. (Threw no fault of his) I’d say the fraud is the ranking of the Bills D.

He didn't go toe to toe w/ either Dak OR Brady.

Score wise shows that your wrong.. Dac scored then Mac scored.. Brady I will admit was off that game but again Mac kept the chains moving and got a game winning drive going.. just banged it off the upright. Lol  I mean if taking the lead with :53 Seconds left with a perfectly place 35 yard strike for a TD and scoring 29 points isn’t going toe to toe with Dac.. . then we’ll we will disagree.

Lose and the Bills are a lock for "in the hunt"

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

In the hunt!

 

Dread must win next week?

 

This team is good as evidence of today's game. Just take care of business against the teams we should beat. I still think the Bills beat the Patriots in New England though. Was always my feeling the two teams would split games winning on each teams home field.

[Big Blitz]

We're fine.

 

Just beat New England 

 

 

 

But.  This is what we need and more from Allen to play like that.  

 

No moral victories.  But I don't feel too bad about this loss.

[DisplacedBillsFan]

No. I’m upset that we even need to toy with this.

I haven't toyed with it yet but I am guessing as long as the Bills beat the Panthers next week they will be looking good. A lot of the teams right around the Bills play each other a bunch of times to end the season. Where as the Bills only play the Pats. There will be a lot of upcoming games where either team losing for the Bills is a good thing. Like just about every Ravens game to end the season.

I prefer 538's playoff odds machine.

Right now, we're at a 67% chance of making the playoffs.

Beat Carolina next week (I mean, we will, right?) and we're at 75%

Beat NE the week after, and all of a sudden it's 97%, with a 63% chance of winning the division.

One thing we can kiss goodbye after losing today: the first-round bye/best record. Even if we win the next two it's still a < 1.0 percent chance we do that.

So despite all the storm and stress of the last 6 days, not a whole helluva lot has changed. This is probably still a playoff time, and any road to the Super Bowl is looking like it goes straight through KC again.

Bills and Patriots game likely decides that. Patriots sweep us and I could see it going through New England. I think we beat them in the rematch though.

[Jeffbigalls]

New england will handle indy next week.

That game is our only real hope of winning the division. We have to win out and hope the Colts can knock off the Pats.

Not only "can" Indy win the game, I think Indy WILL win the game.

 

It will be a must-watch game for all Bills fans.

 

But as long as we take care of business against bad teams, we'll be OK.

 

If we beat NE as well, we're golden.
