According to you, that is. ⛈️ Let's dig deeper into what I said and your response. Your sarcasm is screaming out the page. How do you think Allen played? Did you see consistent WR separation? Has it been an issue this season? Even Diggs is on the discussion now. That's pretty concerning. Agree? OC sucks? I didn't imply that. Is it daur to say that there's more tape on his style and play calling. Maybe teams are looking at his tendencies and making adjustments. The offensive pass game certainly isn't clicking like it can. You can elaborate on why or why not. I'm just pointing out a valid concern here. Obviously, you don't want to discuss it. Joe Marino has been discussing it for weeks now. So take his word not mine. The Pats have one of the best run defenses in the league. As a result, I didn't think the Bills would be as successful running the ball. Not sure how that is a crazy thought. The Cowboy game really doesn't equate to success vs NE. Lastly, this Bills team just seems a little off this year. Inconsistent from game to game quarter to quarter. I think that's a fair statement. That inconsistency can lead to a wide range of results. My eyes just don't see a SB team here. Of course, you disagree and I respect that. My opinion isn't fact nor do I portray it as fact. Nevertheless, I will be pumped watching the Bills next week. Huge game!!! 1 Quote
Thrivefourfive Posted January 1 Posted January 1 So not only does Colinsworth talk-laugh on TV, but he sits at home and giggles watching Nathaniel Mullins. This guy has literally nothing left to say on TV. It was a nice run CC80(?), but 40 years of commentary has earned you your at home giggling chair and no longer a headset in a booth. Quote

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! Yeah, it’s bizarre. Hard to believe it’s the same fanbase that suffered thru: 2000-2016 and Dick “it’s hard to win in the NFL” Jauron. 1 1 Quote
newcam2012 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 8 minutes ago, Beck Water said: 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. Win or go home makes me nervous. Quote
juno999 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Bills won and Fish lost. The two most important things today. Yeah the Bills did not look good on offense today but they made enough plays and won. The Patriots are actually pretty good on defense and division games are usually pretty tough. So I'll take the win and hope Allen plays better against the Fish. 2 2 Quote

And that another 9-7 team, the Rams, are firmly in the playoff mix while the Bills at 10-6 may not make it? I mean, we have no one to blame but ourselves, but 1 Quote

Green Lightning Posted January 1 Posted January 1 1 hour ago, Beck Water said: 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. If you lose the vomit emoji, he's gotta valid point. 18 minutes ago, dma0034 said: Collingsworth just said Jordan Love is a better deep passer than Aaron Rodgers...... Consider the source... Quote
Another Fan Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Even if NE was 0-15 I will never take beating them for granted.... That being said I'm 50/50 on next week after today's result. I am nervous already thinking about next weeks game 1 Quote
Success Posted January 1 Posted January 1 1 hour ago, newcam2012 said: 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? I'd probably give 70%. They're more banged up than we are right now - if Waddle tries to come back next week, he won't be as effective (imo). A high ankle sprain is at least a few weeks for a WR. Losing Chubb really hurts them against our run. I generally give Allen a big edge over Tua - but JA does seem off. Not sure if it's the shoulder. The Bills fought hard to get this opportunity, and eeked out a few nailbiters. Even I thought that things looked very bleak after the Philly loss. Miami hasn't really had that kind of journey to get here. I see a little psychological edge there. But it's a division game, and it's away. It certainly won't shock me if we lose. Miami's a good team. 2 Quote

I didn't hear his name during the broadcast *shrugs* 5 hours ago, Luka said: 5 drops and 3 big misses on deep passes... I honestly didn't see an issue with the play calling for the most part. I think most level headed people can admit Josh and his receivers played poorly today. the 91 yard Bomb was Just a tad long ACKKK that would have been so sweet 5 hours ago, Inigo Montoya said: My thoughts (worth what you pay for them) 1. An ugly win is better than an ugly loss 2. Josh always rises to the occasion vs the Phins, might be a good launch game into the playoffs 3. If the Bills run anything other than the tush-push on 3rd and 1, they should beat Joe Brady with a stick 4. Von sitting today in favor of Epenesa was the right call. He needs to sit next week too. 5. Douglas is going to get a fat contract in the off season 6. It's crazy the Bills are looking at clinching the #2 seed after where they were after the Broncos fiasco 7. Will this season end up being the most unlikely of Bills' Super Bowls? as will Leonard Floyd. 2 Great FA signings this year. I wish they were locked up for longer here in WNY 2 Quote
