Nextmanup Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 What would be great, if it happens, is a blowout lead at halftime, resulting in Josh and other key players (DIGGS) sitting out the second half, getting rest, and avoiding injury going into the real playoff game against the BENGALS. Miami is crippled; we will win this game, just a question of how easily. Quote

There have been too many ‘squeak by’ victories even if the point differential doesn’t seem to show it. When you play a team as decimated as Miami, don't let them hang around. I'd like to have a relaxing Sunday afternoon and yes want to see the offence really roll. Yes I get "Any Given Sunday", but time to flex some muscles. Quote

The kind of win where other teams watch and media say, "damn, the Bills are firing on all cylinders." With a 13 point spread, I want the offense, defense, and coaching to preach being aggressive and putting this game away early. A Dominating Win to me has to be 14+ in this situation. A Dominating Win would look like: 3+ sacks 2 or more turnovers 250+ yards for Allen No fumbles or interceptions thrown 100+ rushing yards 7+ points in the 3rd quarter Up by 14 or more entering the 4th quarter Piling it on at the start of the 4th Seeing to it that key starters are out of the game halfway through the 4th. This is the kind of game I expect if Buffalo wants to compete and let other teams know that the Bills always circle the wagons! Time for a thorough, complete, and dominating win heading to the Divisional Round! Bills 34 Dolphins 10 We need one? Nah. Not even close. Do they kick us out of the playoffs if we only win by a bit? Do we play on the road the next game? It'd be nice. It'd help us and them relax a bit earlier in the game. But it's not anything we need. Quote
North Buffalo Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Just win and move on... hope their last game is their best! Quote

The next three weeks after will be much tougher tests so if we play just ok and win and will be thrilled with the hope we show up the next month after We need to use this game to remember how to fire on all cylinders. We haven't done that in about 8 or 9 games now. I've lost count. The remainder of the season goes like this: Bengals, Chiefs, Eagles. Probably the 3 best teams in the league right now. Anything less than Josh and company firing on all cylinders = Bills loss in any of those. 1 1 Quote

Royale with Cheese Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 I am thinking about putting some big money down on this for the Bills to cover. Quote
Max Fischer Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Nope. Just need to win by one (and no injuries). Quote
Billsfan1972 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 And who is the team everyone is pointing to as the most complete team right now? The team that has been the most dominating the last 6 weeks. It's SF 49'ers Their only issue is they expect the clock to strike midnight on Cinderella (Purdy). Yes a game like the Pittsburgh game where we can complain afterwards about the defence allowing Pickett 324 yards passing and the usual "Bend Don't Break".😉 Quote
DieHardFan Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Dominate in the 1st Half, lead by 21+, then sit the starters. Less wear and tear and avoid injuries. Quote
Billsfan1972 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Okay let's compromise. We don't need one, but will be very upsetting (and this place will be losing their minds) if the Bills don't dominate. Quote

Teams don't usually do that in playoff games. Josh played all the snaps in the blowout over NE last year and Stafford played the whole game during the WC blowout over the Cards. Quote
MJS Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Why? If anything, we need a horrible win where the Bills look weak and exposed. Maybe our next opponent will underestimate us. Quote
HOUSE Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Case Keenum going to light em up in the 4th Quote
zow2 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 I'd agree with the just win mentality and not worry about style points. People sometimes forget it's NFL football playoffs. Miami has a whole bunch of other guys not named Skylar and those players are pretty good. It's a team game. What if Miami gets the kickoff, drives, takes 7 and a half minutes off the clock and goes up 7-0. The narrative about the whole game will change. So anyway, just win the game and move on. Quote

That happens and "Knives Out" on the Defense. Another Zach Wilson performance? Quote
Scott7975 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Just win and no injuries. Thats all I care about. Quote
Don Otreply Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 What we need is a win, in the Super Bowl, just sayin. GO BILLS!!! Quote
