Not sure how it is at the stadium but I live in Lancaster not too far from there. It just started downpouring rain a couple minutes ago here.

Quick check of the weather says it’s gonna rain most of the day. Equalizer?

I want to see the defense take over a game. Not because the offense is throttling someone and they are playing 1 dimensional. Not because we are forcing fluke turnovers every other drive, not because guys are dropping wide open passes…because THEY are stopping someone for once. Going out, being physical, covering tackling, getting to the QB and forcing punts.
 

The defense has been the issue for years. The coach has been the issue for years. I want to see a run of 6 straight wins (starting today) where the defense just flips the script and stops people. I don’t want to feel like they are a liability. I want to feel like they are a weapon. That’s the only way we win a Super Bowl. This coach and HIS defense, stop letting everybody down and get off the goddamn field on third down FFS. Start it today. And never stop until we win the Super Bowl. Enough of this *****. The offense has done their part for 6 straight seasons. It’s been since time for some help. Earn you keep here Sean. Enough.

I think every Bills fan would love to see this.  Unfortunately, wish in one hand, crap in the other.. I’m still hoping for Hyde to be active..🤞

Disagree because I do believe they want Allen to win MVP. If he plays like last week, he will definitely not win it. To succeed, they can’t be vanilla on offense.

 

I think they're resigned to the probability that he won't win MVP and they have bigger team goals in mind, like going into the playoffs healthy.

Take the ball first if you win the toss with the potential wind in the second half.

Regardless of weather, preserve the potential

to double dip. Bills have been great at it. Josh can move the ball in the wind. 

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

Rex and Greeny on Countdown keep saying 40mph winds today. They are both in Allen's corner for MVP. I think they are trying to establish the point in everyone's head to not expect big numbers from Allen and the offense today in the MVP race. It is likely a game the Bills try and run the ball 30+ times.

While I agree, it’s not as if Josh Can’t go off and deliver a brilliant game. He's certainly been known to 🤷‍♂️

Their D needs to show that it can step up even just a little too. They need to be able to believe in themselves because losing confidence is a real thing. They were embarrassed by a terrible Pats team at home in bad weather (379 yards; 2 clinical drives to open the game). This after giving over 500 yards to the lionn and nearly 500 to the Rams, who failed to score 20 points in their next 3 games. LA had fewer than 200 yards at home last night too.

I’m not trying to be a dick but it really sucks that WGR puts these kids on pre game. It kinda kills the routine and the vibe. Not to say the regular guys are great…but man these dudes are clueless. Put them on during the day all summer or at night but Bills pre game ? Cmon man. Do better. They don’t know anything

Going to the Bills backer bar “Twisted Lime”  in Vero Beach to watch the game, never been there before, but will likely be a good time, 

 

GO BILLS!!!

40 mph my arse. It’s barely breezy outside the stadium.

From your lips to gods ears, every time they force a third and long it’s like an automatic first down for our opponent, 

 

Always hoping for the best 👍

That's what they keep saying. I do think it is going to be about 20mph by kick off and for most of the game today which is still plenty windy to wreck a game plan and especially the kicking game. I do think they are embellishing by saying 40mph because when Allen finishes the game with less than 200 total yards and only 1 or 2 TD's they want people to consider how bad the conditions were. 

 

Winning this game should be the only thing that matters in Allen's bid for MVP. He did enough already in his historic 4 game streak (against three really good teams too) which set him and the Bills up to have a two game lead on Baltimore and the ability to sit everyone week 18.

And it's a good point to make.  Allen has already played a home game in a snowstorm and in bitter cold.  Today is likely to add high winds & rain.  That's 3 games where you just won't be seeing 75% completion %, 350 yards and 4 TD.s. This is why statistics are only a part of the assessment.  Year in and year out Allen will always be at a big disadvantage late in the season because of the weather.

Just my opinion, but I think the bills will do just enough to win today, much like last week. I know they're playing for the 2 seed, but I just don't see the bills Ballin out to win this game 

 

no way, they are balling today. They absolutely need the two seed and they absolutely want to get Josh an MVP or do their best to help him there.
