Buffalo won 4 out of their last 5 games last year by one score. 6, 2, 3, and 7 points. They were literally playing for their post-season hopes and one loss could’ve stopped them. I know it’s a slightly different roster, but McDermott & Allen both proved they could win in a dog fight. 
 

Honestly, what are they supposed to do? Let Seattle run the score up so we can win by 3 instead of 21? I know he’s been pretty okay this season, but I am still petrified of putting my hopes on Tyler Bass and I think the Bills are too. I think that’s precisely why they are trying to demolish their opponent. 
 


 

 

 

Should’ve won that eagles game by one score too…that was an absolute screwjob

So basically we are KC or we suck?

You don't see a gap between winning a playoff game after the wild card round and going for 3 consecutive Super Bowls? If anybody is questioning our ability to mop the floor with wild card or lower teams they really should get checked out by a medical professional. Further, if anybody thinks beating these teams means anything toward our ability to getting it done in the playoffs you should go see the same doctor.

I do agree with the OP that our backups should get more playing time when we are up, say, 31-3 in the third quarter.

 

Why not let those guys get some reps, and protect our starters from getting pointless injuries in garbage time?

 

Becuase its really not "garbage time" until the other team concedes.

I am glad the Bills won. I always appreciate when they win but have noticed are something now like 17-3 when the lead is over 7 points while barely .500 when the point differential is less than a score. That is because we do not know how to win in close ball games, we don't know how to be tough when there is a monkey on our back, to power through the challenges, and just win.

 

Instead of us going in there and blowing these lesser teams out we need to work our depth players in more to get them reps, work on different plays and schemes which may let the other team stay in the game. This will keep the game score closer and allow us to learn to be tough. This will give us no other option but to take a few shots to the face and still have to fight.

 

I didn't even read the post...I just hit the agree emoticon as that was the only emoticon you had not gotten yet of the 11 options and wanted your post to have the rare perfect 11 out of 11 emoticon responses 😂

 

But TBH, I am reading now and I don't actually agree.  I would rather the starters click and blow them out then get out of the game early and get rest and avoid injuries while the backups come in and get mop up duty.

You also have to consider that we just set a record for longest streak of games without losing by more than a touchdown.  That means that, before Baltimore game, EVERY SINGLE ONE of our losses were in that group of one score games, while we had many wins that were outside the one score games.  That skews things a bit. If they got blown out more often that would help that record.

The Bills need to learn how to play for 60 minutes.

 

that seems to be the biggest challenge for the team this year, and many past.

Sorry, but this is right up there with "the Bills need to lose more often to NFC teams" to improve their playoff seeding.

 

It amazes me that folks still don’t understand how winning NFC games weakens the tiebreaker scenarios.

 

Common, people!
