Tulsabillsfanz Posted January 7 Posted January 7 6 minutes ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: It's been talked about before in other threads. Pretty rare. Like 6 or 7 times and at least two of those times the team lost and was out of the playoffs. 75 and overcast with 94% humidity down here right now and you can feel it. Probably should drop as the day goes. Hope the boys are well hydrated. The stakes for this game are even more than just our potential outcomes. We’re also playing a team who is trying to win the same division title. I wonder how many of those 6 or 7 occasions included the opponent being a division rival with the division title on the line. I consider today to be the first round of the playoffs for Buffalo. I know Josh & the team say they’ve approached the last 4 games with that mindset. However, today really has a playoff feel to the game! I’m just happy to see the Bills playing meaningful , prime time national games in January! Go Bills! 1 1 Quote

Why can't you just enjoy this huge moment? After the challenging season we have had, the Bills have pulled it together and put us in a great position to control our own destiny. This management group should be celebrated. The biggest question facing the off season for many of us on Two Bills Drive is are you sad sacks really fans or just trolls. Lighten up and enjoy the moment. Most of us support McDermott and Beane and appreciate what they have done to turn our beloved Bills into one of the most popular sports teams in North America. Thank you to Bills management! Go Bills and squich the fish! I personally believe they will play very well tonight and win. But that doesn't change the fact that what I said is true. I'm not the lynch mob, but there will be questions to answer. There is no reason this team should ever miss the playoffs with Allen especially with some of the nonsensical, really inexcusable losses they had. Quote
Gman10 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Who is a more dangerous team? Houston or Dolphins? the way this forum talks sometimes is interesting to me lol Quote

RunTheBall Posted January 7 Posted January 7 We are due for a good game. We need to bully them from the start - W Go Bills! 1 Quote

That means one of the other backs will not start today, Johnson or Murray.. Playoff Lenny ready to rumble and squish some fish !! I'd assume it's Murray that will sit. 1 Quote

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Just now, Simon said: Josh Allen is not Drew f'ing Bledsoe Also, the game isn't at home, Mike mularkey isnt the coach, and it isn't playing to squeak into the last WC spot. Other than that, totally the same lol 1 4 1 Quote
TrentEdwardsCheckDownOn4th Posted January 7 Posted January 7 1 hour ago, RobbRiddick said: Didn't Josh get snubbed the year of the 13 seconds game when he was perfect in the playoffs? I could be wrong but pretty sure it was. Hope it has a similar effect on his play this year Yes and he was 2nd team all pro that year. I'm thinking it will be the same this year. Quote
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 7 Posted January 7 10 hours ago, Chandler#81 said: Game 272! -and it MAY BE our LAST GAME! DAMN! This wild, unpredictable regular season is over?? 😲 It seems like just yesterday we were moaning about Allen’s 3 picks that lost the Opener at the Jets! Yet, by kickoff tonight, my favorite game watching buddy, Scott Hanson, will disappear for the next 9 months -as will 18 NFL teams! ..I’m already going through withdrawals 😢 Remember this PreGame Thread comment from late November? “Today, we begin our season-ending 5 game winning streak that gets us back to the playoffs! Hey! It’s the season of Hope! Right?” Well, guess what? Yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus! Again, our Bills are on display for the entire nation as we head to south Florida with many thousands of Bills Mafia in a Winner Takes All for the AFCE! Amazingly, this will be our 10th nationally televised game this season! It was announced earlier this week the Bills are the 2nd favorite team in all of sports! Indeed, the Madden Coverboy is Must See TV! No one needs to read what’s on the line tonight. EVERYTHING IS! Miami has led the Division from the beginning -only tied once after we beat them in October. However, their 1 game lead disappears by losing tonight and we will realize our 2nd ever 4-Peat Division Title and the #2 seed in the Conference! Then, IF we can win at Home in the opening round next week, we get ANOTHER Home game the following week! Should B’more stumble, we can earn Home field straight through to the Super Bowl! That’s the good thrillingly Great News! Then, there’s the other possibility.. Should the Jaguars beat the Titans today and we lose tonight, well, simply put, the Sky Will Fall! There’ll be jumpers aligned on the Peace Bridge, carnage on the streets of WNY and likely many suspensions handed out around here! 🤣 Tomorrow would become Blue Monday as lockers get cleaned out, followed by season ending interviews for all personnel -including the staff! So much of the teams’ future direction will be directly affected by tonight’s outcome! It’s almost unfair! Talk about High Drama! To the game, the Dolphins are a hobbled bunch, but they were in the playoffs last year as well yet stood up and battled all the way to the end. Tua significantly helps his OLine by having the League’s fastest trigger. Then he has jaw-dropping speed on the outside. They know they shouldn’t be in this position and we’re going to get their best shot! They will test our LBs with short, quick passes, making Bernard’s play essential to the outcome. Their swing pass screen game sets up deep throws and their go-to play in the red zone is the fade. Defensively is where their injuries really show up. Their best DE’s are out and their Secondary is hurting as well. Moving Diggs around and having Kincaid work stretch plays should work well for us. Aiding our effort is McDaniel’s situational awareness seems as ridiculous as his wardrobe! As for the Bills, we’re as healthy as any team and we’re getting great play from our Dline, ‘TB’ and our Secondary -as RaSUUUL won AFCDPOW from his sterling performance last week. We *should* be able to run the ball which will keep the Dolphin offense on the pine. But, as usual in this era of Bills football, it all comes down to #17. He’s dinged up a bit, (21 sacks, 457 yards rushing & 15 rush TDs will do that!) but If judicious Josh shows up, our season will very likely continue. However, if jerky Josh snuck on the plane, the horrible drama above could unfold! If you aren’t nErVoUs, have a family member check for a pulse! Literally, it ALL comes Down to Tonight! Joe Marino chimes in WE GOTTA BELIEVE! GO BILLS! Here's my expert breakdown for this matchup. A dolphin can out swim a buffalo. But, a Buffalo can run faster than a dolphin. So basically in a triathlon, it comes down who the better cyclist is. And dolphins don't have knees. As you can see, Buffalo has a clear advantage and should win easily. 5 8 3 Quote

I can’t believe people are making that comment over and over. Not saying this is a guaranteed win, the the situations are far different. Just lazy paranoia. 2 Quote

Miami has a ton to play for, as they want and I would say need the division if they are gonna go on a deep playoff run. Outside of the "lose or go home" scenario, what other parallels do you see compared to the Steelers game? Quote

BBFL Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Anyone weirdly hoping for the 2 seed or none. Will be a heck of a game! 1 Quote
