Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there has NEVER been a team in the history of the league give up 40+ points in back to back weeks during the regular season go on to win the SB.

 

Ouch.

I want 3 things on Sunday. 

 

A dub. 

30+ points. 

Zero injuries. 

 

That is all.

It's probably fairly rare that a top-tier team has a stat like that.  I wonder what the pool of teams looks like that has that stat, and could also legitimately be considered SB contenders when that happened.

You could remove the 30+ points and I’ll still be happy lol

Remember when Brady and Moss laughed at running up the score on us in that 56-10 clinic?

I want to extend the streak and break the record for consecutive 30+ point games. Not a necessity, but would be hella sweet.

While I can't see how the bills lose this one, they generally do play to their opponent and I could see this possibly being closer than alot of people think

It'll pry be 10-10 at halftime and we win 38-10 or something like that.

I care!

 

I want the top seed, and if they can't get that, then I want them to get the two seed!

 

Getting as many home playoff games is very important!

Expand  

 

I agree.

 

I also know what happens when we play the Chiefs at home, but we're forced to start the waterboy and the ballgirl at Linebacker.

 

We can beat any team in the league, anywhere in the league, if we're healthy enough.

Why is this game Flexed?

Because all of the other choices for CBS are dog crap and they want to put Josh on because ppl watch him.

Because many people like to watch Josh Allen do the football things

Replace 30+ with Allen maintains or improves his odds for MVP.  Granted, scoring 30+ would probably help there. 

[paulmm3]

Will be at this one. The other two games I've been at this year have been at Baltimore and at LA so if the Bills lose to the Patriots I promise I won't go to any more games.

 

Looking at the Chiefs schedule and reading about the Mahomes injury I do still think the 1 seed is possible.

"Well, history is about to change."  Also, I like how they had to specify back to back weeks instead of just two games during the regular season.

I dunno - to me it's the way he puts his arms out in front of him to literally put all his weight on Josh under him as he goes to the ground.  To me that's not a natural response to falling to the ground - it's a purposeful move to maximize trauma

Expand  

 

Maybe, but Josh is a runner at that point and that's the name of the game

Because CBS is in a terrible bind Sunday for AFC Games. At least the Bills in the 430 Window provide Josh Allen.

Most of the AFC Teams worth watching are playing Thursday night and Saturday on other networks

Just have to keep this thing rolling. Maybe we can get back to having a comfortable lead and not be sweating it out last minute. We need to get stops. You can not let this team go up and down the field on you. The defense needs to be fixed this week. No more Bass misses. He had a few good weeks now he’s right back to on panic alert. I don’t care the situation you can’t miss from there. Ever. Don’t take anyone lightly because the patriots will do the things that we struggle to defend. There are no excuses, no layups you need to go out and crush this team.
