SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Congrats to the team on what feels like a foregone conclusion to us but the first of many hard fought goals for them. Also, 5 out of 6 years in the postseason for McBeane and company. An accomplishment in a parity league. Remember when this used to be big news? 7 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) 5 out of 6 years is truly impressive. 1 more Bills win or Dolphins loss and the Division should be ours for the 3rd season in a row.

Jerome007 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I sure hope they keep on winning to clinch #1 seed and beat KC in Buffalo. But if somehow they can't get that #1 spot, then I'd rest Josh, Diggs, etc. as much as possible, without making them rusty. Like play them half the game then rest them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills fan since 87 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Remember when just making the playoffs was the dream? Crazy how our world has shifted. Thank you Josh Allen! 3 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 What a time to be alive...it's hard to believe we almost take it for granted now making the playoffs every year when just a few years ago we would have been dreaming to have a run like this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 When they made the playoffs with a miracle from Andy Dalton, I’ll admit that I shed a tear. I sat on the floor of my own living room and just needed a moment. Then I ran outside like a moron, with neighbors likely wondering WTF was happening since it was late and at the time I lived in Virginia. It was something incredible. Yesterday, I spent 3 hours reading how pretty much everything on our team sucks except for Allen as we quietly walked into the playoffs for the 4th year in a row. Oh how times have changed. Expectations are enormous. We aren’t the lovable losers anymore and in fact I’m starting to see a lot of “we are so sick of hearing about Josh Allen…” from fans of other teams. In the words of the early 90’s Bills returning to the SB - “We’re back. Deal with it America.” 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose to Cincinnati it would have literally no impact to lose again the last game so you might as well rest everyone. I’m making the assumption they will have clinched the division prior to that of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 All the talk about how were not a good team and may not even make the playoffs and fast forward a couple weeks we’re three up in the division with three to play lol as comfortable of a division lead as we’ve ever had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think either can beat us in a playoff game in Highmark personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I missed that they be 4-2 in the Division. If they can somehow win out against the Raiders, Bengals, Dolphins and Bills they might deserve it. Lets just get our 1 win to lock it down over the next 3 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Josh Allen! I remember those years. "If the Bills win all three of their games, and teams X, Y, and Z, lose all their games, and Tom Brady contracts an STD, and California falls into the ocean, so those teams no longer exist, and a hurricane wipes out the entire state of Florida, so those teams are gone, we can sneak into the playoffs as the #6 seed."

Yeah the metric for success used to be playing at least one game in December without being mathematically eliminated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
