Thanks, you've just the set the stage for our next "instant classic" soul crushing loss, that will obviously come to be known as the "17 and 2" game. 

 

I hope you're happy. 😂

 

If Josh Allen walks off the field with a lead or even a tie at the very end...and the Bills ultimately lose,  McDermott should be canned on the spot.  Not allowed to fly back on their Delta charter.

The Bills should be at full-strength. 

 

Knox should be back, Fournette still has call-up availability, and there are no other injuries on offense. 

 

On defense, Rapp should be back, Dane not sure with 3 DNP's the week before, but possibly back, Elam has sat out his 4 weeks if you want it, another week for Rousseau to get healthier. 

 

I expect a great effort out of the Bills. 

 

 

 

People still talking about Fournette as if he is part of this team?  Might as well be talking about Eli Ankou.

I wonder who made the run calls on first down in OT against the Eagles.  I have a feeling it was McDermott.  

 

We're are soo screwed with McDermott, its no wonder we haven't won an OT game in years.

 

Has there been a coach with a worse record in OT than McD?  It's the costanza factor, the team would be better off doing the exact opposite of whatever MCD's instinct is.  We all knew that the Bills lost in Philly the second they tied it in the 4th.  McD can't win late, can't win in OT, and can't win the biggest games.  I don't see what can possibly change since he seems immune to learning

Yep, I just knew Josh and Gabe would miss a wide open game winning TD...  Damn you McD!!!

Well I guess the point is everyone is available to McDermott and the staff. 

 

The big 3 injuries were White, Milano and Daquan. 

 

Douglas has replaced White (84 PFF overall to 68 PFF overall). 

 

So we are down D. Jones and Matt Milano for this game, and that's it. 

 

Joseph is grading at a 37 PFF overall and Daquan at a 90 PFF overall, so that's not been close to a full replacement, at least by their grading.

The implication here being that for the Bills to win a game that they had a 2 score lead in that it definitively requires heroics by Josh Allen, not wise coaching, not a big play on D, not the bravery to take a shot downfield with 30 seconds left.  You absolve the coach of any responsibility whatsoever.

That's the understatement of the year.

 

@ Chiefs

@ Chargers
PATRIOTS
@ Dolphins

 

We're flirting with having a losing season.

 

If we beat the Chiefs, I'm feeling good.   I like the match-up w/ Dallas, especially at home.  Chargers & Pats should be W's, unless we continue to lose games that there is no way we should lose (possible, but unlikely imo).  

 

And if we're heading into that final week on a run and needing the win to make the playoffs, that's all we can ask. Obviously, we can beat Miami - we usually do.  It will be a tough game, but they could be resting starters at that point too.

One thing to note about the percentages on the NYT tool is that when you select the Bills to win out, it only calculates odds for those results. It isn't "smart" in that it doesn't assume any data you don't give it. 

So if you have the Bills win out they have 11 wins to everybody else in the leagues 10 or less. Once you start mapping the other games the Bills playoff chances start to drop drastically.

There is never a game in which players execute the offense perfectly.  Well wait Allen and company's win in the playoffs against NE comes close.  But over all it's an insane expectation.  The FACT is that the Bills offense played great against the Eagles.  That loss as with many others can be laid at the feet of questionable coaching decisions.

Remember in the preseason when one of the bobbleheads on TV predicted the bills would be 8-9 and we all lost our minds? Good times, man

I remember Steve Tasker predicting them to go all the way.. because of "all the talent on the roster"

 

"Talent" ha ha.
