I thought 10-3 would feel better...

[Andy1]

We have the best strength of victory in the league and have played one of the toughest schedules. I like where we are at. We all know what this team can do when the offense is on. They are winning games in other ways now. Just keep winning is all that matters.

Same.

Glad we are 10-3 but the way we are winning does not feel satisfying at all.

 

Dropping passes, missing tackles, numerous holding penalties… just not what you want to see as we get closer to the playoffs.

None of this will fly or be sustainable once the playoffs start and everyone raises their level of play 5x.  We won't have the regular season luxury of missing tackles, committing penalties or dropping balls.

Does it feel any better now after Tua's 10-28 meltdown vs. a somewhat average Chargers team? Hard to win in this league, extremely hard to string 4 in a row together

Nothing really changed from last year. Its Chiefs, Bills, and Bengals at the top again.

Always annoying Baltimore still hanging out too. Agreed, will shake out roughly the same as least year

So when the playoffs start, everyone is able to raise their level of play 5x, except the Bills? Who have beaten nearly every single team in current playoff standings? And who will possibly have the number 1 seed?

 

Everyone is going to be better in the playoffs, except us?

 

Your post literally doesn’t make sense.

None of us have ever watched all 20 games that led to a particular teams super bowl. I bet if you did, you would find games like today. Just look at the rams game by game results from last year.

The 2012 or so Patriots broke a lot of brains. That run when it seemed like they were hanging 50 every week was the extreme outlier, but I think some still expect to see that from the Bills. There is no single dominant team anymore and there hasn't been for awhile.

What did the Bills do?  5 straight punts vs. NYJ and then when they could have closed out the game looked lost.

 

This is the final result, in order, of every Chiefs offensive possession starting from 3:30 left in the 2nd quarter:

 

Interception

Interception

Kneeldown to end the 1st half

Punt

Punt

Touchdown

Punt

Interception

Watching CMC, thinking if the Bills had gotten him they be unstoppable this year. A great RB and a deadly passing game be a top 5 O of all time.  Mind you 10-3 isn’t shabby.. lol

10-3 with all our injuries and this team could still be 13-0 and Buffalo hasn't looked like themselves since KC week so just imagine how good this team can really be

Ken Dorsey is still developing as an OC. He will improve if given time and learning that weather prevents certain concepts / play calls.

It's absolutely adorable so many fans think we can win playoff games like we won today. We will get destroyed if we can't run the ball nor protect our qb. 

 

Nobody cares about the doom and gloom angle. Some realize every week is self contained and the game plan is to do what's need to win that game. Not do what's needed to win a playoff game 4-6 weeks from now. 

 

 

[ExiledInIllinois]

Because of the 3 ways they lost.  Really Bills could be 13-0 at very best luck... Or 12-1.  Yeah... They did steal Ravens game, so swap one of the loses with that one.

10-3 feels really good to me. Just win baby

After beating the Jets today the Bills are 10-3 and in the lead in the AFCE and sitting as the #1 seed in the AFC.  If you had taken a poll here at the start of the season and asked if we would take those stats heading into week 15 of the season, I think it would be 80/20 in favor of it.

 

Recognizing the Bills are sitting in a very good position right now, why does it feel like this has been a really rough season?

 

Maybe it's the constant parade of injuries?  The bad loses to the Phins, Jets, and Vikings?  Maybe the fact that we haven't seen the Bills' offense find that gear that they ended the season in last season?  Or maybe it's because the Bills have left themselves no room for error going forward if they want to win the division and the #1 seed?

 

I'm not complaining about where the BIlls are sitting at right now, I just imagined 10-3 would feel a whole lot better than it does. 

 

 

The number 1 reason you feel this way is because the record was expected. You expect them to handle everyone in their way. You expect Josh Allen to dominate every snap.

 

The season is a grind. This season has been the toughest that I can remember. Tough schedule and a target on the Bills back. Plus all the injuries. It’s been tough. 

 

 

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

I'm thinking 3-10 would be better to complain about, but 10-3?

 

doesn't feel right?

 

 

10-3?

 

unlike the OP and those that agreed with him, I feel damn good about 10-3.

 

 

doesn't feel right, 🤣

Why did you use the jinx of saying losses to phins twice?  Now I gotta unjinx them. 
 

Abracadabra. Chupacabra.  Retatta. 
 

 

 

 

Oh, no....not the dreaded Retatta!

[KHAN]

Dopamine is a hell of a drug. Those 41-17 games where Josh throws for 400yds and 4 TD's provide a feeling of euphoria that these close hard fought games don't.

 

We need a fix man!!!!!

Inigo, you’ll feel a lot better after we punish the Fish in a cold, blistery Saturday night game.

Thanks to both of you for your well reasoned and valuable contributions to the conversation.   You've made 12 year old's everywhere proud.

It was nice to watch Tua fall apart last night.  He was 10/28 on pass attempts, not even 40%.  He couldn't hit anything.  Having that game in hand vs the Phins does brighten the outlook a bit.  Now the Bills just need to take care of business on Saturday.
