I thought 10-3 would feel better...

In winter conditions, it sure as heck could be.

Especially with Tuas weak arm throwing into that wind. INT waiting to happen!

Along with beating the division leaders of the AFC and one of the wild card teams, we've also played all those teams along with another AFC Wild card team and a Division leader in the NFC. Our schedule this year is ***** tough.

Yep. If those 4 SB Bills teams in the 90's were battle-tested from the regular season, they might've won a ring.

[Chaos]

Another issue, is the the sting of 13 seconds last year, makes Bills fans more than any other sports fans realize, it always possible for the team to steal defeat from the jaws of Victory. Makes it painful to watch all of these close games.

It’s because the bills have enough talent to win every game like they did weeks 1 & 2 yet they barely win games against inferior opponents 

The coaching has left a lot to be desired.  Yesterday, when we needed to close out the game the offense did not deliver. It required the defense to do so. 

The OL has been terrible.  They are not giving the same protection that Josh got in the early games. 

The AFC East is pretty good and tough to play

 

The reason many of us don't feel the "Happiness" of the win, it is because the expectation on this team is much higher. We want to blow out every team! Go Bills!

[Donuts and Doritos]

D. Looks Fantastic. Offense doesn't. 2 TDs, tons of dropped passes, O-Line either allowing pressures or holding, not executing at an elite level. They don't look scary enough on O to contend & that is the difference. Sure they got by Jets, but how are you feeling with that performance on offense against Phins, Cinci or KC? It's not good enough (Davis, Mackenzie, Knox, whole O-line w/ Dawkins getting honorable mention)

In what way? They have lost 3 times by a total of 8 points and in all 3 games have given the game away to some degree or another. Two of them in ridiculous ways. 

 

They have played one of the toughest schedules in the NFL and have beaten the 3 other divisional leaders in the AFC.

 

And done so missing numerous starters many weeks.

 

If anything, THIS should be the team we are most proud of. Faced adversity, have largely overcome it all.

 

The bold print is why…I just don’t feel championship teams play like that- especially when you have double digit leads…That reeks of this franchise’s history of snagging defeat from the jaws of victory…

This team has a chance, but they are just not playing all that well.

Yeah, all they’re doing is winning

[Awwufelloff]

The Chiefs had trouble with the Broncos. I'm more worried about Bengals than any team TBH.

[Pete]

Would you rather be 4-12?

You should watch more football then. Pretty much every team has games like that.

 

KC almost choked against Denver after being up 27-0 and held on for dear life to win 34-28.

It's because the Chiefs are right on us, the Bengals are 1-game behind, and our offense is scoring about 25 ppg now. 

 

Defense and the running game are going to have to step up, because I don't see many answers in this Bills passing game with Spencer Brown a turnstile, and Gabe Davis only running the comeback sideline route. 

 

People who don't want Allen to run, we'd be at 18 points per game without his ability. 

[John from Riverside]

An alternate point of view it used to be even though the bills had great records whenever they would lose they would get blown out. We have lost games this year by a combined eight points. Let that sink in eight points.

Part of me still feels like this team is fools gold…hopefully I’m wrong…

Im frustrated with this team as well, but I feel the exact opposite…

 

I think we’re much better than we’ve shown. 
 

There are some shortcomings, but every team has them .. Even with the injuries, the defense is loaded with talent, and we have the most talented QB in the league, with an elite WR1 and solid supporting cast (OL, WR, RB, TE).  

When you have the QB, with those ingredients, it’s up to coaching and execution.. because we have Super Bowl talent. 
 

So far, especially on offense, the coaching and execution has been poor. 

[NoHuddleKelly12]

The mighty chieftains played to a one-score W against the sorry sack punchline Broncos today…the Broncos scored more points on them than they’d scored against anyone else all season, IIRC. Just a little comp perspective, is all.

They look kinda similar to the last few games of the regular season last year...anyone remember that Falcons game?

I do. That was a really uneven game.

 

However, the Bills had been showing signs up to that point of really starting to click on offense, and they still ran the ball effectively against Atlanta in spite of Allen's poor showing. 

[MJS]

Feels good to me!

[ChicagoRic]

10-3 Feels great to me.  As I alluded to in a previous post, the last 6 weeks (now 7 weeks) since the bye have been tough for a variety of reasons.

 

1) 3 back to back 2 INT games.  The good news is that we are no longer seeing forced balls to the middle of the field. 

2) Josh Allen has been playing with in injured throwing elbow for the since the end of first Jets game and 5 weeks since then.  The good news is that it is slowly getting better.

3) There was a span of a few weeks where flu, injury, and 77 inches of snow severely disrupted the amount of practice time that Allen in particular and the team in general was able to get in.  The good news is that time is over. 

4) Allen didn't get the bounce back game I was hoping for today because quite frankly, the weather sucked.  The good news is we still beat a very good Jets team. 

 

The Bills are in every game.  The games they have lost have generally been down to the wire.  Both Cincy and Miami have lost uglier this year. 

 

Looks forward to the Miami game.

And the Broncos Defense has been dominating and were at home and Mahomes & KC put up 34 points.  Wilson had his best game of the season and at home.

 

The Broncos have lost 8 one score games, they're snake bit.

 

The Bills struggled mightily at home in a revenge game against another scrub QB.

 

The Bills are 10-3.  I'm happy with the record, not how they're winning games.

Feels good to me.  Taking a snap inThe end zone vs the Vikings and 11-2 would feel better

I feel like you need to win some close games in a season for whenever the playoffs hit you don’t want your team to wilt under pressure
