Its a three man race right now and its going to be a photo finish but FilthyBeast, Gene, and newcam are all bringing their A game this morning.  

that is the positivity trifecta.

Anyone else read some posts this week and start to think there are Bills fans who just started following this team last year? Bandwagon fans are brutal.

Ahhh, thanks, my ignore list was missing Gene. Attention to detail strikes again.

Bills win in lopsided fashion I'm feeling good.

For me this is an absolute must win game which determines everything from Coaching, to players, and management.  Winning for this game is the only thing which matters.  It doesn't matter if it's a close game it'll be the deciding factor in whether or not we are an elite force in the AFC.  If not there's to many question marks and variables to really know what could've been.  My feeling is that it will determine whether or not we make the playoffs.  We lose this and we might as well just say next season, check the tapes, trust the process, and build back better with a middle of the road pick.

I was at that game, and my god it was bad.  I went with two pats fans from college (good guys!) and we had seats in the Mark Kuelsow club.  I was drunk and chanting "You don't know what you're doing" to Skeletor like a British soccer fan.

 

And that team roster...Derek Fine? Xavier Omon? Holy hell. What a mess.  That was a Drought team if there ever was one.

Buffalo actually ran it until they had to pass it. Once they went down by 2 scores, they threw it on 24 of their last 30 plays.

I want to knock these Chowda heads blocks off and send them back to Bahston with a black eye and a few missing teeth.

Poor Trent.  If anybody needed a safety blanket for a TE, it was him.  Instead he had the hybrid TE/FB stylings of Derek Fine and Derek Schouman.

Right?  Please, they are ridiculous!

 

...and for the record I've been a fan of John Allan since they drafted him in 2016.

I agree if will "feel" like you said.  But the reality is the division and the ultimate goals for this team are not lost with a loss today.  That goes for the Pats also.

 

Lets say we lose today and the Bills lose next week to TB.  With 4 games to go they would be 2 games down in the AFC East.   But they have a game against NE, so they would obviously have to win that......basically they would most likely win out in that scenario because the other three games are home games against weak opponents.  And if the Pats lose 1 other game (Indy/at Miami, etc) the Bills could still take the division.   I get the psyche of the team/fans if they lose but it would not be the end of the season even though it would feel that way.

 

Having said all that, just win this damn game!

Question if the Bills win tonight. Right now NE is the #1 seed. If Buffalo wins tonight does that make them the #2 or #3 seed? The Titans would be ahead of the Bills obviously but are the Bills in front of the Ravens? I know they would be in front of the Chiefs.

 

It's 2 with a W, 7 with a L.

He’s on the covid list. Until/unless he comes off, he is officially “Out”

That’s my thought but still as of yesterday it’s reported like he could play. Seems by now they would report it as out or did not make the trip.

These are YOUR New England Patriots at about 11:30 tonight.

Go Bills!

It's so unfortunate.  I get the insecurity that we all have, but geez louise.  The lowest point of the season for me was listening to the Colts game and hearing E-Wood mention how quiet the stadium was.....it was still first half!  The fanbase can't seem to take a punch this year.  I hope we can bring the juice tonight!

The more I re-read your post and look at the percentages you posted the more insane the whole post is.   Thanks for giving me a chuckle this morning.

 

Bro,  I hope to be as drunk by game time as you already appear to be now. 🤣

 

I actually understood this post.

 

But, of course, I'm already drunk. Does that count?

I really want to see "MJ10" sacked and hit all game long

 

Im way to fired up for 11am

Happy to see that you started your pregaming early. That’s one heck of a post.

Yep. If the Bills win tonight a lot will go away. Then come back if the Pats win the next meeting. 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

My prediction for this game is based on the intensity/focus levels the bills will have

 

If the bills come out with the intensity and focus they had against the Chiefs, the bills win this game by 10+ points

 

If the bills have zero intensity and or let little mistakes rattle them I expect a game similar to the colts game
