and maybe the players feel this way also, the worse has happened expectations have been greatly diminished, not many think they gonna win this so maybe they come out calm, have  good game and play well

Buckle up, boys. It's going to be one of the most discouraging days in franchise history.

I am not worried about Tampa. They just won SB, they can handle one loss, no matter how bad...

We don't need a statement game.  We just need a W

Which RB will do the best today?  I'm thinking Brieda might be able to get some nice runs on the outside and get some catches out of the backfield.

I wonder what happened to those many posters who kept predicting 30 and 40 point blow-outs just one month ago.  

Are they the ones pouting and bowing to defeat before kick-off, calling for regime change, etc..

This will be tough without Tre, I would guess, but a bounce or two our way and we have a fighter's chance.   

 

Go Bills

I have the same calm. I think though because I am resigned to the wheels coming off our season like in the past. I hope I’m wrong. But after last weeks loss I don’t have much emotion for this week to expend. I’m really worried our players feel the same

I think you can sometimes can overthink a matchup to go round and round about what is best. There is a really obvious narrative that NOBODY can run against the Bucs and that it’s just best to just punt on the idea. Then  you throw in how putrid our own running game has been and you just figure, load the guns and throw it 60x. Go with our strength and try and out score them. That’s the thing looking you square in the face. That’s the plan that writes itself, set it and forget it and load up.

 
Im here to say…..If we play that way, we are going to get killed. I understand that the easiest thing to do is say, “we can’t run so don’t bother” IMO, the way we can actually win today is to figure out how we CAN run it against them. Tampa is fully expecting us to come out firing and showing them something else will get that defense on skates. If Tampa is just assuming they have the run stopped before the game, you can really mess them up by showing them it’s not the case. You might have to get creative.
 

Someone can let Daboll know, Run plays don’t have to be vanilla handoffs up the middle in a pile. Run to the ***** OUTSIDE! Use the QB. Run jet sweeps. Use some speed, hand it to Stevenson or McKenzie. Use multiple TEs and 6 linemen. Call a run game with interest. Show Tampa they don’t have 1/2 the game already taken care of by showing up. Make them devote assets to the other dimension and then put them away with the play action pass. You ARE NOT going to beat this team in a shootout. If you let them have a ton of possessions, they are going to beat you 99 times out of 100. The Bucs WANT us to throw it all day. Regardless of what the common thought is. The thing the Bucs don’t want, is a 17-13 game where every possession they have is ultra important because they might not get the ball back for 10 minutes. I know the thought is we can’t run it so don’t bother. Well we can’t run it right up the middle at Vita and these LBs..but there are ways we can. Get guys to the edge and use some of the speed we have. Use miss direction and creativity. Use extra lineman and for the love of god, use Josh.

I hope it's whoever is running in the 4th b.c we didn't run all game long and let Allen pass the ball.

i think the calm i am feeling stems from the worse that could have happened to me as a fan happened last Monday, an excruciating loss to the team i dislike the most and said team also took the division lead from us. Could not have drawn it up any more nightmarish than that for me, whatever happens now is just gravy or a pleasant surprise

Bills are going to loose. I don't have much optimism for this game.

Seriously.  I’ve stayed away from anything Bills related in the media this week, assuming it would be flooded with vomit.  I’ve been watching NFLN since 4am pst and it’s been nothing but bills hate.  I think they’ve touched on the Bills run d and 11 times, Brady owning Buffalo 3759 times and having no confidence in Josh Allen 6 times.  

Honestly, that’s fine by me. The Bills seem to play better with that underdog mentality/chip on their shoulder.

 

They really shouldn’t need any external motivation for today’s game anyway, but if the media doubting them all week gives them a bit extra motivation, I’ll take it.

No matter what happens, the sun will die out in a few billion years, turning the planet to ashes.

 

It's really not that big of a deal today.
