Detroit has to be licking their chops for next week. The way Buffalo looked today they should be a 10 point favorite. 

And if they lose again next week then beat the Jets and Pats x2, finish 13-4 and get at least one home game what difference does it make?

 

Everyone likes to win, some of you feel like the 1 seed really matters. Other than that? Makes no appreciable difference.

The simple fact is that their offensive personnel destroyed our defensive personnel.  And vice versa.  Our D steps up it’s not a close game.  And again vice versa.

Not adjusting to limit Nacua and McD's timeout cost the game. The D has to be put in a position to succeed to "step up".

[SCBills]

Positives… 

 

Allen and this Offense are absolutely nuclear when they need to be and still get back Coleman and Kincaid.   
 

Josh Allen is easily the best player in the league (and has been for a minute)

 

Bills Defense (and McDermott) have a prime opportunity to show us that “Playoff McDermott and his soft Defense” isn’t inevitable by getting back in the saddle and stepping up against Detroit next weekend. 

[TBBills Fan]

Josh didn't throw the D or special teams under the bus, but man, 2 of 3 phases didn't come to play today. 

 

Even still, we almost stole the game. 

 

Now is a good time to eat some humble pie so they can not make these mistakes again

they blitzed over and over in the second half they never got home and gave up easy completions when they did.

 

The difference in the game was the blocked punt for a score and giving up that 4th and 4 for a first down.  

 

its not a conference game so they are still ok but they have to win those final three games because they need those conference wins to hold onto the 2 seed.

 

if the bills finish 13-4 and pittsburgh loses one more game in the conference Buffalo is the 2.  THis is a bummer because it means they have to play to win the final week vs new england it seems instead of getting some guys rest.

People don’t watch the games I’m convinced 🤣. Playing man and blitzing more would’ve led to the rams dropping like 70 haha

I thought it evened out, for the most part.  But the Rams chat I read through thought it was extremely one-sided.  

 

I definitely didn't see that. I thought in the 4th, we had some rough ones not go our way.

 

The same official missed an obvious false start in the 1st half on the Rams RT as well. It was on the ridiculous Puka toe tap catch that should have been blown dead. I believe that was 3rd down.

I’m at the point where I’ll settle for awful locker room culture and a SB. Nice that Shawn has a group of BFFs, but he is solely as successful as he is record wise because his arrival aligns with one of the best athletes of all time. 
 

edit: don’t even care that I spelled his name wrong. Leaving it.

Our D again shows what happens when you don't have a dominant Edge Rusher, Linebacker & Safety.  We got lit up like a Charlie Brown christmas tree on steroids.  Our D has always disappeared when the competition gets elite going into the playoffs and this type of game.  Our D is not good enough to win a SB, it never has been in 7+ years.  We saw it again today and it doesn't look good moving forward.

How about 2 out of 3 this year.  Houston  and LA Rams.   Personally,  I was done with McDummy after 13 second game,  I get it.... he has done great work improving the culture here.  

Seriously he is something like 83 w vs 43 L as a head coach.  Great!  How many of those Wins were due to Josh Allen?  It is my opinion at some point, Josh will tire from loosing close games to incompetent game management. 

 

All good coaches in the NFL are made by their QB play. Daboll looked like a mad genius in Buffalo and looks like a turn in NY. Adam Gase, Josh McDaniel etc etc etc. Quarterbacks run this league

The Steelers still play the Eagles, Ravens and Chiefs oh and also the Bengals who lit them on fire last week.

Mahomes never was the favorite so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

 

Perhaps you’re right, Hurts, Goff, and Jackson may be ahead of him now, but if KC gets the #1 seed again he’ll be in the running as he has less weapons than last year.

Prior to today NFL teams were 245-0 when scoring six TDs.  Now that is 245-1.  That is at least a little bit Billsy. 

The Rams also scored six TDs. 

[Big Turk]

Allen also became the first player to have 3 rushing and 3 passing TDs in NFL history.

I don’t think Goff is capable of having a game even close to what Stafford did today.  The guy was basically flawless.  Put Goff on the rams today and they certainly lose

Yep.  There week 18 game with cincy might be a huge game.  If pittsburgh loses to philly next week they might staring at a road to the 6 seed.

The 2 seed should guarantee 2 home games.

Did you see the blitzes? Hell, I was begging them to rush 4 and put the rest in coverage for most of the 4th. 

i saw a few blitzes yes...n we seen how well keepin every1 in coverage went for the 1st 3.5 quarters...

all i am sayin is to sprinkle a few in throughout the game, not 5 or 6 on 1 series when forced 2...

all in all, the non call on the false start is the 1 play that bothers me the most...get the ball back, down 6 iffff they make the fg with 2mins left...i like our chances there

And we've lost at home the last two playoffs. Why does that matter?

Correct. Previous record was 244-0. I guess being the first team to win a game after giving up 6 TD is "Ramsy"
