Why is it so hard for fans to admit reality?

Did the Bills get lucky? Sure, but who gives a $h*t, they won. I think it's obvious that the Bills are opposite the Dolphins. The Fins look awesome against bad teams, but can't beat teams over .500, the Bills have shown multiple times this year that they get up for the good teams. The good news is (bad news for Fish fans), you won't be playing bad teams in the playoffs. Just get there.

Skin of our teeth game imo, 

we executed poorly, Cook was not used in our passing game for some unknown reason, but we won, and when it comes down to it, the only stat column that counts is the win loss record…,  

 

We do have to do better, but us the players and anyone paying attention knows this,

 

GO BILLS!!!

The reality is we were lucky yesterday.  Josh was bad Josh until the last drive.  Cook had a pivotal fumble.  The defense let a guy with no experience in the league almost win the game for the Bolts.  The only guy that played really well was Oliver.  
 

Just admit they sucked yesterday and got lucky.  They won’t be that bad every game; I suspect they’ll squish the Fish like Josh always does.  But they sucked yesterday and have too many times this year against inferior competition and that’s why they’re in the position they’re in.

 

For all of the complaining that's done here about our receivers, they didn't have a single receiver on the field yesterday that was better than Diggs, Davis, Kincaid, or Shakir.  

 

We cry about our injuries, but they were without Bosa, Herbert, and Allen.

 

They fielded a JV offense at best.

 

That offense logged 273 yards, has more 1st-Downs than we had, and managed 33 minutes time-of-possession.

Josh played like crap yesterday.

 

Did he!? I’ve seen several people write this, and he wasn’t perfect yesterday, but I don’t think he played like crap.

 

He had a bad 1st quarter.

 

The final 3 quarter, Allen was 12/15 (80%), for 207 yards, including an incredible game-saving throw off his back foot to Shakir.

It's not about style points. This team hasn't scored more than 24 points in 9 of 15 games. The offense relies way too much on the big play to score. 

This is an absurd take.  This is a prime example of someone just whining to whine and manipulate info to confirm their bias.  You are lumping in Dorsey led offense (7 of those 9 were with him) with Brady led offense and they are not the same, but you’re doing it to exaggerate your bias.

The first 2 weeks when Brady took over they looked good. Since then they haven't looked that much better than when Dorsey was in charge. They struggled to score against KC and again last night.

You are doing something right when you lose the turn over battle 3-0 and still find a way to win. And the two fumbles gave the Chargers automatic FG’s with where they occurred. Not sure about the INT.

AMEN!

 

Having a -3 turnover ratio and winning by 2 is indeed lucky, and anyone who doesn't admit we got lucky is delusional. We simply cannot just hand the ball to the other team and expect to win a championship, period, ESPECIALLY at -3 in turnover ratio.

 

And so far no one has answered this despite a few people insisting it was lucky... what was lucky?  We outplayed them despite being on the referees naughty list and turning the ball over but nowhere in the game did we get "lucky."

KC has one of the best defenses in the NFL.  If you think an offense must score 30 every week against even the best defenses then you are delusional in your expectations.  
 

We went into KC against what was then the number 1 seed in the AFC, with the best QB and one of the best defenses in one of the toughest places to play and win a tough close game and scored 20…and somehow that’s not good enough for you?  LMAO, that’s just absurd.

Not if they are an AFC championship team. 

[The 9 Isles]

The way I see is that they were bound to have clunker of a game during this latest push to get into playoffs, at least it was to the Chargers and they still managed to pull it off, maybe they got it out of their system one last time. 
 

Maybe this was like sniffing smelling salts and 

refocused the whole squad. Maybe.

Guys on the pregame this morning praising Josh for the game winning drive. Guessing they didn’t read this thread lol.

I'm not so sure they figure it out. The offense has looked very vanilla all season. They last few weeks they have become a run first team that throws the deep ball. Where has the underneath passes gone or the throws across the middle gone. 

 

You aren't watching.  They throw underneath all game and to the middle quite a bit.  Just yesterdays game.... most passes inside 10 yards and most of those inside 5.  Most of the passes in the middle third of the field.

 

 

Again most of these passes underneath

 

 

Passes all over the field

 

 

A big chunk of passes to the middle

Who is this psa for exactly? 
 

Mind-boggling someone’s sitting at home on x-mas eve thinking “these message board guys are nuts! Do they even know we got lucky yesterday?!”

 

Firstly, why do you care what others think? Secondly, why do you think they’ll care about this?
