I actually think the opposite I could see this team being lax and putting forth a mediocre effort if they go into the game knowing they are in regardless If their backs are against the wall, I think they come out ready to roll 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimmer323i Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This game coming up sorta gives me nostalgic feeling like the Kelly and marino days…. Buffalo vs Miami last game of the season for the division and playoffs it doesn’t really get much better than this… 50 minutes ago, Buffalo Super Fan said: The Buffalo Bills will win the AFC East Division Sunday night the Bills defense is better than the Miami Dolphins in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo Our defense is playing lights out considering all the injuries we’ve had on that side of the ball…. I’m pretty confident that will continue Sunday night in Miami…. Doesn’t look like Waddle is gonna play… We double Hill get pressure on Tua and we should walk away with the W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Sooooo, anyone else just hitting refresh here and scouring the internet for clues about this game like we’re Scooby freaking Do trying to solve a mystery? As if some giant news (major injury, house fire, etc) wouldn’t be tweeted by Schefter immediately? As much as life is short, I could do without the next two days. Go Ravens Go Titans Go ACE inhibitor Go bills. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Costa Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 2 hours ago, BigDingus said: Nick Wright actually made a point I agree with today (among many I disagree with). He said if the Steelers lose Saturday, he expects the Bills will play significantly better Sunday knowing they're only playing for seeding. But if Steelers win, the Bills having 24 hours digesting the added pressure will make them come out tight & play worse. Leadership isn't as strong this year, and McDermott's voice may not be connecting like it once was. I also just believe Josh absorbs all the stress & chatter fans do. I disagree. Bills are going into this week with a win & get the #2 seed mentality. They have a great opportunity to change the whole season around. I think we are going to play well. And if we play well we win. Predicting a Playoff Lenny call up. And he will have a roll. JA17 turns it around Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 @ScottLaw you’re such a dolt, “quietly” disagreeing with my posts yet offering nothing. I was right once again that the Bills were not dead, and I’m right that the Ravens aren’t “taking the day off” against the Steelers. Sitting Lamar for a QB with playoff experience isn’t throwing in the towel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to put the Bills in a negative light. Wright will pick against us every step of the way - and when we win, there will always be some reason unrelated to actually deserving the win. I like the other guys on that show, but simply cannot watch it anymore. He's trying to become the heir to Bayless. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel like the Bills are playing well to do much noise in the playoffs, but who the heck knows. Maybe they get in and go back to 2021 playoff Bills instead of how they have been playing.

Beck Water Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 2 hours ago, finn said: I preferred Jake Kumerow. Dude seemed to catch everything thrown at him. By contrast, Sherfield has caught just 8 balls on 18 targets. Factually, in 3 years in Buffalo, Kumerow had 7 receptions on 14 targets. I guess that’s better than 8 receptions on 18 targets, but how is that “everything thrown at him?” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governor Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) 4 hours ago, ProcessImproverMan said: With all the injuries the Dolphins have, a Bills loss needs to be an automatic firing for McDermott. It would mean Miami has officially passed us, as most pundits predicted preseason, so changes would be needed.
