Steptide Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Had a few ugly games against Houston and Baltimore, but outside of that, this is probably the best team we've had since 2020. Even the 13 seconds year, that team was 7-7 (I believe) at one point. The next year (Bengals playoff loss at home) even though they finished with a 13-3 record, it just always felt like they were on the brink of losing big. Which unfortunately they did in the playoffs. This offense and defense are gelling. Everyone is making plays. This might be our year folks 6 1 7 Quote
Sweats Posted December 2 Posted December 2 You can see the whole team has the "it" factor.......they are rolling along and ready to take on all comers. 4 3 1 Quote

LABILLBACKER Posted December 2 Posted December 2 (edited) Wouldn't it be beautifully ironic that in a year which was supposed to be a "rebuild" and losing 6 captains, we win it all.

I love seeing the media doing their backpedaling about how at the beginning of the season the Bills were a hot mess, they were decimated with departures and in a rebuilding year and probably sitting in the bottom of the AFCEast........shocking the media (but not many Bills fans), as they are back on the hype train that this is the Bills year. The media are dolts. 2 Quote
Gregg Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I never thought they would be 10-2 in what was supposed to be a "rebuilding" year and have the division won by Dec 1st. We all know the Bills will be judged by what happens in Jan and hopefully Feb. Regular season success is great, but the Bills need to get over the hump when it really counts. 2 Quote

Almost the last thing Dungy says on that episode "this was not our most talented team, but it was our best one." Edited December 2 by GunnerBill 3 Quote

Agree 100% Some of it is the schedule. Winning the games they need to against inferior opponents. But currently 2-2 against teams with a winning record. And only really Detroit left that should pose any real challenge. All going to come down to the playoffs. 1 Quote

ddaryl Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I expected growing pains with the team tightening up down the home stretch. What we got was a team showing some growing pains, over coming injury adversity, and finding ways to win against solid to real good football teams has me feeling very super heading into the playoffs. This team is showing they have the "IT" factor brewing nicely, and I am enjoying the taste of the Beane 1 Quote
Steptide Posted December 2 Author Posted December 2 Funny thing is, I feel like they still haven't shown their offense 100% yet. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like they're saving some of it for the playoffs 2 Quote
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted December 2 Posted December 2 I actually feel better than 2020 haha mostly because the chiefs looked basically unbeatable back then Quote
skibum Posted December 2 Posted December 2 No, I think this is the best Bills team we have seen since 1990. And I freely admit that pre-season, I thought they would have a tough time finishing above 9-8 . Quote
Gregg Posted December 2 Posted December 2 Just now, skibum said: No, I think this is the best Bills team we have seen since 1990. And I freely admit that pre-season, I thought they would have a tough time finishing above 9-8 . Same here. I thought the Bills would take a step back with all of the veterans they let go in the offseason. This year really shows that Beane is very good at his job when it comes to putting the roster together. To be 10-2 in a "rebuilding" year is remarkable. Quote

The media are dolts. I understood take that Bills were less talented and might struggle a bit with a young roster. But the talk of them being not a legit contender was absurd. Josh Allen is arguably the most talented player in the league, as long as he is on the field, the Bills can win any game Edited December 2 by Captain Hindsight 1 4 Quote
