Thanks, Jim!

I hate this as the 1st game for the new OC. The Jets have been Josh's kryptonite.

Really only since Dorsey was calling the plays. Saleh has said that the Bills offense is predictable. Maybe we'll be less so today? 

[CNYfan]

Big, big game.  Can't wait.    Go BIlls!!!

With Burrow & Watson done for the season, a Conference win today ups our playoff odds to around 50/50.

GIT-R-DONE!

 

Yeah that for sure made our chances more likely.  The Bills need to do their part.  LFG!!!!

At this point, I think I suffer from battered fan syndrome.  Bills lose in excruciating fashion, leave me for dead.  Then emotionally you rebuild the *****, maybe things will change and they won't hurt you, especially before a holiday, but then they knock you down all over again and all that pain and frustration returns.  I'll watch, but with a helmet and flak jacket on. 🙂

If they don’t score at least 3 TDs, fire McClappy at 7:30pm.

Was interested to see how the 2021-22 season stacked up to this one in terms of record. That was another interesting year before the bills turned on the afterburners at the end of the year and make it to the afc championship. Through week 11 we were 6-4. Thereafter we went 1-2 to make it 7-6 before we won out all the way to the championship. 
 

obviously records are not an indication of anything other than wins and losses, but this team has done it in the past and CAN do it again. Although the hill is harder to climb this time around, a Josh Allen led team getting hot at the right time can easily start stacking wins. Let’s start today. Go Bills!!

That team had a really good performance in a loss to Tom Brady and the Bucs and a really easy stretch of games to end the year. They also struggled in some of those easy games, but everyone on TBD seems to forget the Atlanta snow game which might have had a different outcome if Matt Ryan knew where the goal line was. It will be a much steeper hill to climb this time.

That Atlanta snow game was UGLY.

 

Here's the thing though. This season is proving if you can stay alive anything is possible. It's not who you're about to play it's when you are about to play them.

 

Case in point, we just recently played the Bengals. When we had them, they still had Burrow and were in the midst of a hot streak. If we played them in 2 weeks...likely a whole different ballgame, no?

 

So let's see what happens. Yes the next 2 after today are tough tasks on paper. But what does it look like if say, the Eagles lose Hurts this week? Or the Chiefs lose Mahomes? And no, I'm not saying that's the only hope or wishing injury for the Bills benefit. But as we see this year more than perhaps ever...things happen and circumstances change. One week at a time and the longer you're above water the better odds of making the playoffs....and then it's back to everyone being 0-0. 

[BBFL]

Make or break for us here… Going into this game our season looks like this:

 

 

 

Let’s hope we get a win today, a resounding one would be better, and get this year back on track as we hit the hardest part of our schedule before and after the bye-week. 
 

Let’s get rid of this Josh:

 

 

And get this Josh back on the regular…

 

 

 

Some may say he’s the only reason we’ve lost some games the past years but he is also the only reason we’ve been winning games, a lot of them, for a while…

 

 

Let’s go Buffalo!

Don’t forget your cup for that end of game kick in the balls.

I know the Jets have a great defense, but I swear if we lose to a Zach Wilson led team a third time in four outings Sean McDermott should be covered in tar and feathers and have hot wing sauce poured on his nether regions at the 50 yard line.

The problem isn't with the defense stopping Wilson.  We'll likely hold them under 20 points - the problem is with us scoring MORE THAN 20 points.  That's been the problem all year.  Injury riddled Defense does OK (except for last minute 13 seconds-esque drives in like 5 games), but the offense stalls or turns ball over; if we score a couple field goals more than we did, we win 3 out of those 5 loses.   Even if most of our drives end in FGs that's OK - If we get 2 TDs and 5 field goals we win in the range of 29-20.   Allen will need a couple games to get moving.   Maybe soon we'll be back to the Dorsey Offensive Prowess by then....  (And screw Dorsey for leaving!!  He grew up in Buffalo as a Bills Fan; as one of us - how do you leave 'Your' team, with how great our offense was????
