Albany,n.y. Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 I want Jacksonville to win because I want the Bills to HAVE to play for the 2nd seed like their playoff lives depend on it. If they can't win tonight, what makes anyone think the would go far in the playoffs as a 5th or 6th seed after blowing 2nd seed? I want the Bills to know it's do or die and play like there's no tomorrow because every game will be do or die the rest of the post season. Toughen them up with a must win mindset entering the game tonight. 2 Quote

Chaos Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 If not for Goodels grand experiment this game would likely not be mattering to us. Quote
NewEra Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Vrabels press conference give us a chance. I haven’t read this thread, is his PC from Thursday linked in the thread? It made me lol and now I like him a lot more than I did Quote

Expand It's ridiculous if we can't beat Miami out for the division given that our offense was essentially injury-free this season given our roster. How many times is that going to happen. Factor in Cook's play, our vastly improved OL, and it's not good that we haven't clinched the division by now. 1 Quote

It is not good that we haven't clinched the playoffs by now. But the reason the division is still in play today is that Miami has been good. 1 1 Quote

And this discussion is hardly complete without that comparison of injuries to both teams' offensive players. How many seasons are we going to get through with zero significant injuries on offense? None is a safe wager. Edited January 7, 2024 by PBF81 Quote
Roundybout Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 The only way I see them winning is if Lawrence is more injured than he’s letting on Quote
Strethor Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 TLaw plays horrible when listed on the injury report. Quote

If w have to rely on 2017 type luck ... Quote

So the Bills would have to have been a 13 win team going into week 18 with the potential to be a 14 win team for there to be no possibility the division is in play today. And I have already explained why I don't look at this roster and see a 14 win team this year. Quote

But honestly, if McD can't do significantly better than three of our teams with 9-7 records during our drought era, with WBs half, at best,, of what allen is, ... 🙂 On 1/7/2024 at 1:57 PM, Strethor said: TLaw plays horrible when listed on the injury report.

Expand I don't see Mike Vrabel coaching like that. I think Jacksonville will win. But I don't think it will be any lack of effort on TEN's part. They will give them everything they have. They just are not very good. Quote
SoCal Deek Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 The good thing about the way this lines up today is that the Bills will absolutely know what they need to do long before kickoff tonight. It could be like the drought ending season where they were finished and had to pray the Bengals pulled off a miracle an hour or so later. Quote
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Jax is a far more talented squad, but I’d be shocked if Vrabel doesn’t have his squad ready and playing hard Quote

Expand Like you said, they're not very good, all they have to do is come in not caring. Beathard played well enough against Carolina as well. Quote
stlbills13 Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 I don't have a good feeling. Vrabel seems to care but that team looks like they've totally packed it in 1 Quote

I expect a close first half and Jacksonville pull away just enough in the second. 26-16 something like that. Quote
