Week 16: Bills at Bears on Christmas Eve

[Shortchaz]

Mock the dolphins all week then turnaround and have to play a game in the actual cold, this sounds like a 9-3 game to me

This strikes me as a classic game that the Bills can blow through over confidence and looking ahead to Cincinnati the following week.   Sure hope not.   

Only fans look past opponents,

Tell us about your super bowl wins

They didn't even ask McD about Ike.

This is the most overblown statement in all of football. Teams don’t overlook their current opponent but because fans do they assume the players do

Not a wise idea unless you want Fields to have 200 yards rushing.

Agreed blitzing Fields is a really bad idea.

I said this elsewhere, but this game makes me nervous.
 

Matt Eberfluss, when with the colts, really knew how to game plan for our offense and shut us down. Today, they seemed to be very effective in slowing Hurts. I think he is an excellent defensive coach, and knows how to gameplan his opponents very well. Bears are always in every game.

I think they’ll use a 3 man rush with a delayed rush/spy like we saw vs KC. Sit back and play coverage, and let the horses up front go to work.

The Bills better get their "fundamentals" together this week against the Bears. Gonna see a heavy dose of Montgomery and Herbert.

I'm with you man for 2 reasons. 
1- that Miami game was anxiety. Great game fun to watch but anxiety 

2- I want them to get back in sync. Everyone has seen it. There is something different about this offense since halftime in Green Bay. 
that whole garbage about style

point means nothing. Good teams beat bad teams. I'd like The Bills to show they are not to be underestimated.

Early forecast is a high of 9 degrees with 25-35 mph winds. 

 

So basically similar to the Patriot game last year but with wind.

Every game going forward is a must win, and teams like the Bears will revel in playing the spoiler, this game against Chicago is gonna be a dog fight, as will all of our remaining games, the players know it the coaches know it, it will be a matter of which team makes the most plays/least number of mistakes. 
 

GO BILLS!!!

I feel like that is actually less windy than the pats game.  Didn't they have 45mph gusts?

 

Or is the suppose to be a consistent wind?

The Facts:

 

Bills are 11-3

Bills currently sit 1st in the AFC

Bills clinched playoff berth

1 win clinches the division and a home playoff game

3 wins clinches first round bye a the playoffs run through Orchard Park.

The opinion:

 

It starts as an early Christmas gift this year. The Bills are the better team and it isn’t even close. Historically McD teams keep guys like Fields in check. We should be solid on the back end and stout in the run game. Even an offensive sputter will get the job done, if they can improve the field position game and eliminate boneheaded special teams plays. 
 

Bills 30 Bears 19

I imagine we will give him the Lamar Jackson/ Zach Wilson treatment. Make him beat us with his arm and contain him in the pocket. Only thing with that is if he is nailing his throws it could be tough on us because it’s tough to get pressure with that Lamar defense.

I was talking the playoff game

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Bears coming off a shorter week is something to note as well. With back to back Saturday games, this is essentially a normal week for the Bills just accelerated by one day. The Bears have to cut out something, wether it a day off, install, practice, film, etc. 

 

Advantage, Buffalo.

100% Trap Game…..

 

Where I feel it’s a prove it game. Prove you’re disciplined, prove your ability to execute. Prove that you are the team you think you are!!!
