Shakir was wide open for what would have been two TDs. Josh never looked at him. Josh is a mess right now. Once again he lost track of the deep safety on that bad pick. That said, his running saved the game. 


The pick play with Davis, Allen started his progression to the left for whatever reason. No way he would have had time to go all the way over to Shakir in his progression in time.

 

Now, maybe he should have been going right to left, idk.

as it stands today the bills are lacking in players under contract on the defensive line and are stuck with a sunk cost in Miller.

 

they have to rebuild the entire unit it feels like.  Then they have an issue at safety.  

 

this is the wrong offseason to be wasting draft picks.  


Next season will likely be a mini-rebuild. I’m not sure fans realize that yet.

I have no faith this team can go to Miami and win next week.  Offense is downright pathetic 

 

the Bills tend to move the ball well in South Florida. and with Allen you never know and the D can be opportunistic.  I think the Bills have a better shot than i probably think as of tonight, and i also think the Ravens, even without extreme motivation will beat Pittsburgh. They don’t want to lose at home to anyone especially the Steelers.

The OLINE struggled all game today.  Run blocking, pass blocking, didn't matter.  If there are any reporters on here, how about asking the Bills why they continued to run in the middle of the line.  It wasn't there all game.  But time after time, it was tried.  

 

Credit goes to the Patriots.  They know how to defend Josh and the Bills.

I get that I veer positive, but it didn't seem like something anyone should have much of an issue with.

 

I can see where people may feel that Miami is the better team.  They have more skill player talent I feel - two very talented fast WR in Hill and Waddle, a lightening bug at RB in Achane.  They have significantly fewer offensive turnovers. They had the #2 scoring offense in the league going into this week.

 

The Bills were #5 on offense going into the week and again (going into the week) had the edge on defense, #4 to Miami #12.

 

What that means IMO is that they are both good teams who know how to win, and it’s going to come down to preparedness (including coaching) and “want to” - who wants it more? - on the day.

 

That said, what kind of fan doesn’t fancy their own team as the better one?  I certainly can’t call you too much for that.

Hope you’re right but there’s a big issue with our offense

It kills me to say this but I agree. This musical chairs OC situation has just not quite worked.  Josh doesn't look comfortable.  WR's can't get open.  Our so called #4 OL today played like #24.  The Brady uptick honeymoon might be over?

You should try it…might look good on you? 🤷‍♂️ 

 

How can I put this nicely?

 

You claim to be a Bills fan.  OUR TEAM WON TODAY!  It’s well known that the NFL is a “parity” league, and on any given Sunday, any team can lose…we lost to the Pats earlier this season.  In addition, this was a Division game against one of the greatest coaches in the game, bar none.

 

And yet your reaction to our win is:

”The Bills, at home, played an awful NFL team who started their 3rd string QB, was missing their #1 RB, #1 WR, #2 WR, missed 2 FGs and had a -3 turnover margin. The Bills won by 6…SIX points! 🤮

 

That’s right, a Vomit emoji.

 

Let’s just say I’m not interested in the opinion of “what looks good on me” from a so-called Bills fan whose reaction to a critical team win is a Vomit emoji, and leave it at that.

Have the Bills been blown out this season?

 

Miami has, a few times. Including against us.

 

I respect the Phins, but they're hurting right now. They just got embarrassed, lost their best LB (which I hate, btw), and likely won't have Waddle next week also.

 

I don't know. I feel like we lose perspective sometimes. Not that next week is guaranteed or even close to it, but we're so focused on our own struggles that we don't really see how common they are amongst our competitors.

Why do I feel worse than I thought I would after the two biggest games went our way? 


 

because we struggle in the most important area of current football and it used to make us feel so good.  Like no matter who we played we could beat anybody. 
 

because we are not the shinny new thing around that everyone is fired up about.  
 

because we win…but we don’t convince.

I second all of this!
 

The fans around here have turned into self entitled blow hards. Everyone demands perfection or the world is falling. For the last two weeks it’s been doom and gloom, the Bills will lose to a hockey stick, the Bills will lose to Bill Belichick and his four win team, down the line.
 

They can say what they want, this team shows up 110% in the big games against the “studs” of the NFL. After the Eagles game, the same folks would’ve killed for this situation and a shot at the division/2 seed. 

 

Here we are, 4 game win streak, 10-6…..Winner takes the AFC East. 


Go Bills!

That's fair. To be honest, I think we have the slightly better team due to the QB situation. I don't think there is much separation between the two teams. 

 

I think this game can truly go either way. There are things I like about the game and things I don't. I'll elaborate at another time. 

 

If I were giving odds I'd probably say 55% chance of Bills winning. That's not great odds but still slightly favorable. What odds do you think?

We have had two rough games on O but in last six weeks we have also seen the Eagles and Cowboys game that does show we can excel as passing and running games. We are also relatively healthy. Obviously if O that has played last couple weeks show up, we are done but we can beat the stinky fish. Let’s go Buffalo.

Right.  That “awful Pats team” has had I think 3 or 4 losses by more than 1 score….so of their 12 losses, 8 were by 7 points or less, and given a missed penalty or a bad bounce could easily have gone another way.  That includes one of the two times they played the vaunted Dolphins, who won by…..7 points.

 

Is our offense looking like a juggernaut right now?  Hell to the Noes.  I share the concerns several have expressed about Josh and Diggs.   But people were “sticking a fork” in the Bills back in mid-Nov when we fell to 5-5 with a loss to Denver.  So I’m personally just going to enjoy the ride that’s put us in position to play for the Division title next week.

 

Win or Go Home, Boys - it’s Playoffs!

I think that’s fair, actually.
