We’re undefeated under McDermott after a bye.  That’s no good?

That performance against GB is not what I want to see rd 2 against Cinci no. Don't overthink it, nobody wants to see that kinda performance in a playoff game

Good to know some of you have written off the team if Poyer is hurt.   You make me sick 😫 #fakefans

You said McD’s bye weeks, not week.  We were sluggish in the 2nd half yesterday I’ll grant that.  What other post bye week wins were you referencing?   I know you weren’t referencing one of the losses, since there are none.

The Fact he is a Backup is the main reason.  they have Williams and Hamilton as starters.  SO yeah send a 2nd that will get him away.

He’s a backup who has played 100% of defensive snaps in every game?

It's been pointed out several times we've won sloppy games coming off the bye. It's a trend, I'd like to not come out flat after a bye is all.

 

Being 6-0 off byes doesn't mean we couldn't lose a playoff game if we played like last night

Team has definitely come out of byes looking sloppy before.

 

Last year after the bye, we started to lose every other game for several weeks.

 

We played 1 good half against the Dolphins off the bye and won (sound familiar?) and then lost 9-6 to the Jags the following week.

 

The year before,  it was the cruel "Hail Murray" that preceded our Bye week.

 

Came out of it with a sloppy 27-17 win over the Chargers (hey, that sounds familiar too)

 

But unlike last season, we snapped out of it immediately, with dominating wins over SF on prime time, followed by a nice win over the Steelers, and then annihilated the Broncos. Pats and Dolphins in very similar fashion to how we started this season.

I recall Miami at home in 2019 the Bills had to crawl their way back to victory after being sluggish for most of the game… 2020 against the Chargers at home was also a pretty mediocre game all around…. Same goes for last year against Miami. Their offense was sluggish for much of that day(Think it was 3-0 at HT) so it’s been a somewhat common theme post BYE the Bills under McD aren’t at their best and eek out victories. 

 

This was brought up on WGR this morning, actually. We have a lot of rust.

It’s equally realistic to Ronnie Lot via time machine so why not speculate?

I guess?  Personally not a fan of the trash responses suggesting Old Retired Guys either but was hoping for some serious discussion

 

So perhaps “better than suggesting Ronnie Lott” is a bit low as a bar

Obv we want it, but God it makes me nervous after seeing us under mcds bye weeks, and Tennessee s 2nd round exit last year.

 

Mcd has to identify what the problem I'd asap. I understand letting guys bodies heal up, but if a soft week of practice is the issue than they need to crank it back up

 

Uhh...you know we are 6-0 after bye weeks under McD?

If we win a sloppy game off a bye in the play will you be pissed?

If by "eeking" out victories you mean winning by 10, 15 and 10 the last 3 post bye week games while never trailing at any point in any of those games then sure...most teams fans would take that every time, but I guess we just can't be happy unless we score 40 points every week and get shutouts on D.

Losing both safeties is big, big trouble. Hamlin has been encouraging, but JJ is out of his element (not sure why Joe B. spent so much time hyping him). I have to imagine S joins RB at the top of their trade deadline priorities.

That's my thought. When Tre comes back, Benford will be plugged into the starting lineup at FS. 

I really like what Benford has showed so far at corner. I’m a bit confused without a training camp that he’s immediately better at S than Hamlin or JJ. Just a lot to expect.

We didn’t win by enough!   You see you’re focusing on the outcome, the win.  What you need to be looking at is how we played.  We got run all over, some would even say the Packers dominated us.  Clearly something has to change so we can win each down, to heck with the final score!

Johnathan Abram is definitely getting traded.  Hard hitter.  Would we be upgrade to Hamlin and Johnson.

He’s not a good coverage guy and don’t see him as upgrade.

And we've looked sloppy in the past 3 years minimum, it's been covered.

 

Our performances against GB, MIA, LAC have not been the types of games you want to have in a playoff game, especially the 2nd rd

What if we play great but lose?  Would that be better?

No but if a sloppy game costs us a playoff game we have no business losing it will.

 

What is hard to understand about, we've looked sloppy off of byes, and whatever us causing it should be addressed? Of all the things game to disagree with this seems like the most dumb. Clean it up

And yet we won by 10,15 and 10 and never trailed at any point in those games.  Not sure why people can't just be happy with easy double digit wins.  Other teams fanbases get those like once or twice a year if they are lucky.
