This Bills team might be the best ever. Numbers don't lie. But they need to finish.

Being #1 in point differential and #1 in yardage differential is super impressive.

 

But great teams are consistently great.  We're not.  That's the part that scares me.  We beat the Pats convincingly in New England and the Chiefs in Arrowhead, but lost to the hapless Jags.  

 

We're often super-great but, sometimes, we're just plain bad.  

 

I guess the good news is this:  we're capable of beating any other playoff team.  I think we have a 50-50 chance - or better - against anyone.

Unless this team wins a Super Bowl there's no way I'm putting them ahead of the 1990 or 1991 Bills

I see Brandon Beane & Sean McDermott were not fired this morning

27th in allowing Rushing TD

15th against the Run

 

They have been manhandled by teams with a good to great Rushing attack.   They got to fix that to be successful.

On offense, they have to fix their Redzone offense.  It has been very average.

According to Pro Football Reference, we've scored the 3rd most points of ANY team in the league!! 3rd guys, 3rd!

 

What the hell are any of you complaining about?!? What more do you want?!?

 

While I'm at it, we're #1 in points against too! 

 

IMO,  any complainer is a dumb@$$!

 

Phew, that felt good!

[TheFunPolice]

It's funny... they win games by double digits a lot yet it feels like they're playing sloppy a lot of the time. 

 

Imagine if they played a close to perfect game?

Bills are actually tied for 11th, though I agree there are a large number of teams with less than 19 given up.

Some of this is a result of how tough they are to throw on too.

They remind me of the colts team that finally won a ring with Peyton. Their defense played their best in the playoffs especially against the run.  They were a smaller fast defense that was really good against the pass but struggled against the run all season.  Hopefully they can make the same type of run. 

That is a good comparison.

Disagree...they couldn't stop the run...so teams kept running and they were successful.....Harris had 3 TD,  Taylor had 5 TDs,  Henry had 3 TDs...Even Fournette had that big TD right down the middle and the Patriots ran for 250 yards on the MNF game

[FilthyBeast]

This team still concerns me with how woefully inconsistent they are and only a blind homer would say Allen has been good the last few weeks.

 

Against a team with a remotely competent QB/offense we lose yesterday and really have to wonder what it is about this team at home sometimes that they seem disinterested and play some of their worst football possible.

What did NE do in rematch?  And yes we got lit up by Colts in TOT yds and for 5 TDs.  TEN and NE are in the playoffs and we will have a chance to face both.  With our DL and LBs healthy I like our chances. Neither QB scares me so Bills can play 4-3 or Big Nickel on run downs.

 

Please note that some top running teams - CLE, IND, BAL missed the playoffs and they were ranked 2, 3, 4 in the league running the ball.

You need to be able to run, but it's a passing league. The best qbs usually win the big games.

They're waiting for the season to end...for the Bills.

No they don't. They simply just have to play well on offense and the teams won't be able to run the ball because we will be scoring every drive and not punting.

Bills are 6th in the NFL in rush yards. News flash for the people who claim we can't run.

John Madden tribute/reference?

Honestly no it's just a fact, this team is good enough to beat any of the other teams in the NFL, but they've also clearly shown us that they can also find a way to lose to any team as well, so they simply have to just go out there and do it.
