Bills are 8-2 for the first time in over 30 years

[gomper]

When Josh doesn't have it and plays "gamer Josh" it's good for a few wins a year. THAT'S how good he is.

I don’t know…I think the Bills are a cult.  You either fit in or you are ignored. And I keep hearing kool-aid references around this team.  See my point?

That cult must be doing something that causes an epidemic of wrist injuries. Hmmm

We got a tough 4 game stretch coming up.  Will be interesting to see how they do.  Need WR help to get thru it. 

The nice thing is this hot start we have this year gives us some great leverage.  Even if we go 2-2(worst case scenario IMO) during this stretch we will still be in good shape 

[JohnNord]

Remember how so many in this group were like “wow the Bills really face a murderer’s row of opponents this season?”   It’s the toughest schedule in the NFL
 

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Other people that couldn’t stand the Patriots during 2001-2019 used to point to the division and be like….  Yeah they are just good because it’s 6 easy wins against the Dolphins, Jets, and Bills. 
 

Perhaps it’s now reversed that it’s the Bills that are good and the other 3 teams bad.  But you know what I could care less.  It’s a solid product the Bills fanbase has now.

...we went to the SUPER BOWL!

 

We've had better teams in the JA era, but what a tough, gritty team we have. Going into Indy down the players we were, and then to have such a convincing win, great stuff. First 8-2 start in the JA era.

 

Bring on the Chiefs. It's going to be madness in Highmark. Mafia, show up and show out. Go Bills!

And if they lose next week they are out of the running for the one seed earlier than any of the last 4 years.

i just saw that the oddsmakers have made our lads a 1 point favorite over the Chiefs next Sunday.  Interesting to be sure.

 

Not good. Hate giving Chiefs the feeling of being disrespected. They are very good at that. Honestly prefer Bills being underdog. My guess is the Bills will be favored by even more than 1 at kickoff. Maybe 2.5-3

Well we played poorly on a very good d and got the win.

 

 

I would put it that the Bills played inconsistently against the Colts.  Josh had probably his worst game since the Texans game, with the miss to a wide open Kincaid and a bad interception.  But he was still the best player on the field in the fourth quarter when the Bills put a stranglehold on the game with a long drive.  The defense was just enough better than they had to be, especially in the second half.  The absence of Coleman and Cooper really affected things.  Samuel appeared briefly and then evaporated.  Hollins is a lot better than we thought earlier.

KC blocking that FG makes me want to puke now.

Hopefully, KC will use up its quota of good bounces soon. 

 

 

There is no difficult decision for Pegula to make.   He's not firing McDermott, and few if any season ticket holders are going to demand that he do that.  Many season ticket holders have decades of attending Bills games when winning seasons were few and far between and the Bills even getting to the playoffs seemed pipe dreams.   For long time fans who remember Hank Bullough, Dick Jauron and Rex Ryan, McDermott is untouchable, especially this season when the consensus was that the Bills were going to "take a step back" because of so many roster losses.  

 

 

 

The Lions are owned by the Ford family (of the Ford automobile fortune).  The Lions' problems were never related to how the Fords' wealth stacked up to many of the new billionaire owners.   In 2020, Sheila Ford Hamp took control of the team from her mother, Martha Firestone Ford, and brought in the new administration and philosophy.  She apparently got it right the first time out.

 

 

I like the Lions, always have.

Especially Thanksgiving games when they weren't always good, they pulled some big upsets from time to time.

 

Bills 1st, but Lions, Vikings are next on my list to win it all. 

 

[Utah John]

After 10 games each year:

 

1994 5-5

1993 8-2

1992 8-2

1991 9-1

1990 9-1

 

I wonder what the seasons where they were 8-2 or better had in common?

Yep. It's a nice position to be in. I'm still not seeing a true Superbowl contending team here tbh. I think if we win a playoff game this year that is our reasonable ceiling. Of course Josh could play out of his mind in the playoffs and we get a bounce or two and who knows? But I don't think that is realistic tbh.

You’re really going out on a limb, here. 
 

You don’t think the Bills can win the Super Bowl. 
 

But they might win the Super Bowl if Josh plays really well. 
 

But they will probably only win one playoff game …

 

UNLESS Josh plays really well. 
 

But the Bills probably won’t win the Super Bowl ….

 

Unless they do. 
 

And if they don’t … you will remind us how you said they wouldn’t. 
 

But if they DO … you will remind us that you said they would if Josh played really well and they got a few lucky bounces. 
 

Like every .. Super Bowl .. winner … ever.

Yep. And Eli had an elite playoff run. Flacco in 2012 too. But it will take that and some bounces IMO 

Josh Allen is better than both those guys.

My CBS Sportnline app has the Chiefs giving us 1 point.

Who should be fired first? 

 

Ask again in February.

This team has to prove its metal over their next 4 games.  Enough said.  I will not pass any judgement on them until this 4 game gauntlet is over.  This is not the best team TBH that we can assemble for a SB run.  Next year is the year that I was banking on.  But we will see what happens in the next 5 weeks.

Didn't the Patriots actually have a better record outside the division?

 

I know it helped that they had a good QB & HOF HC while the rest of the division had junk. But they still consistently beat Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Indy, and great teams in the SB. 

[Success]

I truly appreciate that we're having a great season - at a time when most nationally, and some locally, thought we'd be taking a step back as we retool.

 

We could win it all this year.  Not saying we will, but we'll be as competitive as anyone.  

 

[TFBillsfan]

Keep stacking wins, get healthy and stay healthy!

 

Realistically, most would be ecstatic being 8-2 with a stranglehold on the AFCE. Playoffs have become the minimum expectations with the franchise which for us that lived thru the drought years feels amazing. 
 

I’m trying my best to ENJOY the ride and hope we get to the playoffs with momentum and health!

 

There’s no one the Bills can’t beat if they play to their potential!

As of week 10, NE is in 2nd place in the division and Miami and the Jets are a hot mess with major cap issues forthcoming. 
 

The “Ralph” will be shaking next Sunday. I hope the Bills boat race KC, but expecting a dog fight between two heavyweights!

 

Find a way! 
 

LETS GO BUFFALO!
