Week 18: Jets at Bills - a W wins the AFC East!

[Mat68]

Keep featuring Singletary.  Offensively, take what the defense is giving.  Whether its run it 40 times or pass it 40.  Hopefully, some of the banged up guys can rest or get out early.

Im really hoping Ryan Bates wasn't too badly injured, hes been a big improvement of late.

What/when was his injury? I missed him coming out of the game?

It was at the very end of the game, he got bent backwards in a pile up on a Josh sneak. It looked bad but who knows.

Banged up Bills says more likely painful than serious but that’s just a (educated) guess

Hope nobody is sleeping on the Jets this week.  On PAPER, the Bills should run them out of the stadium but I always get a little concerned about teams getting up for a spoiler role ... especially divisional opponents ...

I mean I'm not sure how else their players are supposed to answer when asked about their motivation this week.

Would it be too much to ask them to go for a QB sneak on every 3rd/4th and 2?  😉

He could of said We are out of contention and I don't really give a rats ass about this game 😂😂😂 but that's frowned upon

Yeah, probably answering with ... "I'm just playing for my paycheck this week" probably wouldn't go over too well.  I'm sure a bunch of the Jets players will just be happy to get their awful season over with, but I'm sure a number of them are playing with motivation for (next year's team, free agency, contract incentives, etc.)

 

Just hoping the Bills keep the proper motivation for a home playoff game!!

strong OL and HOF RB will allow you to do that.

jeez. You can’t have everyone on the team as HOF. We have excellent players in most spots on D, most spots on O. Let’s toss in HOF RB and line. You can’t build a team with pro bowlers at each position.
 

beane decided we had to have a modern pass attack to win. Dah! We have that

I understand that. But in Buffalo playing outdoors you need a team that can run the ball when the weather dictates it. If I remember correctly even Allen said he hoped the new stadium would be a dome.

Gutsy move or rookie ignorance?  lol

Cool.  Doubt he signs that if they lost.

Zero chance this gets flexed to Saturday.

 

Expect the cheats to be playing on Saturday night... which gives BB the advantage of having an extra day to prepare for the playoffs.

This aged well..

This would be a great question for Beane. Why did you a build a team that struggles in bad weather? Even the Super Bowl era teams could run it down other teams throats when they had too. A strong OL and HOF RB will allow you to do that.

First I dont believe you need to build a team for bad weather.  Brady and Rodgers never had great power run games playing in New England and GB.

However that said, Its not as if he hasn't tried. Moss is a power runner. He drafted Ford. He extended Williams and drafted Brown.  Morse is the only lineman that is much better in pass protection than run blocking. Dawkins is adequate in both. Feliciano is better at run blocking. Hell you can go back to letting go of Spain,  who was an elite pass blocker but did nothing in the run game.

Speaking of clinching the AFCE vs the Jets. Who remembers this classic.

It is an odd game. I don't want our starters in for the 2nd half but if it is close the AFC East is on the line. Hopefully this game is over at half but this Bills team has problems putting teams away sometimes.
