I'll save OPI the trouble............The Bills aren't getting past Cinci or KC

[Novacane]

What a **** show. Josh can't stop making dumb decisions. McD seems like a deer in headlights to often. Dorsey stinks. This has been going on for 3 months. To expect the light to suddenly come on is dreaming.

[OpIv37]

Thanks.

[Novacane]

I feel like they just delayed the inevitable.

[notacon]

BULLCAP!!!!!

[sukie]

The two picks were on the receivers. Dumb 2 bombs to Davis back to back, still no middle of field attack (which is always successful. But I don’t care. Singletary with the hardest run of his career. Davis woke up. Knox highlife reel grab. Crazy stuff happens.

hills gave up 7 sacks. That is concerning but it’s over. Bills still playing.

[TacklingDummy]

Cool, then negative Nancy’s don’t have to watch of comment on the game afterwards.

[Cali512]

This was a very annoying game, but weve either blown out teams or won close all year. Theres nothing from today that i can say to defend my point, but we will be in every game to the end. Mcdermotts horrible with literally everything on gameday. Bad challenges, gets way to into the emotion of the game, stupid stupid timeouts. I seriously dont get the timeouts when the offenses clock is down to zero and they still havent snapped the ball

Everytime theres a delay of game, my first thought is did WE call a timeout

[Mad Bomber]

If they play the way they did today that will be true.

[Mad Max]

Why were the INT the WR fault? Because Tony Romo said so? I'm not convinced. Why now middle attack? Because Dorsey stinks.

Yep. Sometimes it’s like watching a toddler having a temper tantrum.

Best way to handle that is to ignore the tantrum

Best way to handle this thread....ignore it.

Like I said in another thread...."All that matters is that you are one point ahead by the end of the game.” In the playoffs, that’s the difference between playing another game, or going home.

The Bills are going to play another game, and Miami is going home.

So...the Negative Nancys can have their tantrum. I don’t give a flying ****.

I've been with you guys all season but today was the worst yet. The defense did a good job against a 3rd string QB but the offense handed them 23 points. That's on top of leaving at least 14 on the field for ourselves. We can not have another performance like that the rest of the way or we're done. No more room for error. I hate to quote OPI but that's just being realistic.

[Woodman]

Davis has returned to animal mode.

Diggs was open every play.

Cook is so dangerous ..... develop some real plays for that kid.

Beasley came through.

Lmao. We barely beat a 3rd string rookie today.

Next week we will have to play a real QB. Josh threw an INT when it was 17-3, then we gave up a 4th and 8 that lead to a FG, then we couldn’t move the ball in the 2 min drill. Then, with 7 seconds left, McD wasted a timeout and cost us a chance to go for a TD.

Similar stuff has happened pretty much every game since the bye. We keep letting teams hang around and it’s an absolute miracle that we haven’t been caught yet.

Answer fairly. Can they play like that and beat Cinci or KC? If Baltimore pulls the upset the Bills can probably beat them with another subpar performance.

[OpIv37]

We can’t play Baltimore this week. They’re the lowest remaining seed so if they win, KC gets them and we get Jax. The only way we play Baltimore is if Balt beats Cincy and KC and we beat Jax. We have a good chance of winning if we have to play Jax but I can’t see Balt beating both of those teams, especially without Lamar.

Ignore them.


Which is what I am gong to do with thread from now on.

[YardRat]

This game was a very good representation of how the team performed in the regular season, especially after the bye.

Get a double digit lead, make stupid mistakes, go soft on defense and let a vastly inferior team back into the game, only to produce just enough offense to squeek out a win in the end.

That formula is more likely to end the season with yet another loss instead of a championship win, but we'll see.

Maybe they won't have a letdown against a good team. We can hope. If that's the case it's an even bigger negative on the coaches for not getting the team past playing down to their opponents.

Hyde coming back it a wild card too. I have a lot more confidence in the defense if he's back. We've missed him a lot more than I thought we would.

[acehole]

What a **** show. Josh can't stop making dumb decisions. McD seems like a deer in headlights to often. Dorsey stinks. This has been going on for 3 months. To expect the light to suddenly come on is dreaming.

If OPI wants to save himself from the trouble, he can decide not to watch the game while the rest of us decide to.

If he is so good at predicting the future, he shoulda played Mega Millions last week. Otherwise he can shut up.

[TacklingDummy]

The Bills have only played 3 good teams all year.

Miami…wait they still good after beating them twice?

Minnesota

Jets…wait we beat them in rematch. They not good anymore either.

Exactly. All this crap about Skylar being a 3rd string QB is annoying. Yes, I expected to win easier, but it is what it is. McDaniels is a damn good Offensive coach and he gets credit for having his team ready to play.

OP loves to crap on Skylar, but not a word about Brock Purdy being the same 3rd string rookie QB who is having a fairy tale run with San Fran.

I'm assuming we get the Bengals next week. I'll be rooting hard for Baltimore. We beat KC too. I'm not without hope. They've proven they're capable. It's just so friggin irritating to see them self destruct week after week.

It’s who the Bills are.

It’s either win in a blowout, win close, or lose when you should have won.

The only game the Bills should have lost the last 2 years is the Colts game. Overall the last 3 years maybe 2 or 3.

Why were the INT the WR fault? Because Tony Romo said so? I'm not convinced. Why now middle attack? Because Dorsey stinks.
Beasley def had ball bounce off him up for grabs. You saw Brown stop and go on that route but I do think throwing that ball was risky. Why Dorsey goes for the fences so often. 8 yard passes are really nice.

I thought so at first too but I'm watching the game again and the db got a hand in there. It was more bad luck then a bad pass. Usually that ball just falls to the ground.

[Mace]

I'd be real happy if we just win next week. They still look real wobbly to me and this was against the Dolphins, in a shootout with their best remaining QB, in a home playoff game where they're supposed to be on fire over Hamlin and on a mission.

I have no confidence. I expect them to get trampled, because Burrow is not Skylar, and they can't seem to get out of their own way.

Will be happy to admit I'm wrong, but I expect to be trampled. This is just hanging on by the fingernails and waiting for them to break, imho.

I still just don't comprehend this team.

I get it, but man, this team just looks wobbly and not so focused on the goal we kind of expect them to be fiercely pursuing. Up 17-0 I thought, ok, they're finally back. And then they just....well I dunno, fell apart again and had to eke it out. It's alarming. It's great when it works, but it seems like pressing your luck to hope it keeps working with the biggest trouble ahead. They have way more problems at this stage than I expected to see. At least at this point in the program you'd expect to see some consistent work and determination and not crapshoot hope that they might pull it out against an inferior opponent.

Just mho, but I'm pretty discouraged atm.

[Historian]

If we had our 60 million dollar man out there, I think it's a wider margin.

Sort of, but we didn't have him last year and crumpled just the same when we could have advanced. I love what McDermott has done here, but I'll entirely blame him and his staff if we do in fact get trampled, because we have no savvy coaching nuance to jump ahead of the pack.

[ParanoidAndroid]

It looks like Daboll was, in fact, a huge loss. We look so sketch on offense this year.

[Mace]

It looks like Daboll was, in fact, a huge loss. We look so sketch on offense this year.

Just imho, it goes back to McDermott managing his staff. Daboll has no shortage of balls if he's intent, so someone was telling him what to do. You'd have to conclude it was his boss.

[YardRat]

They get lackadaisical, I honestly don't think they fully understand or appreciate what a fine line there is between winning and losing, and how every single play counts.

And I'm tired of hearing the "hungry and humble' mantra, because they aren't. If they were, these lapses wouldn't happen all of the time. They need to legitimately embrace it or just cut out the rhetoric.

Finally there are no excuses with injuries, re: Miller. Miami fielded a third string quarterback, eventually a third string running back, a patchwork offensive line and dinged wide receivers in our house in the playoffs. And that's just their offense. And we still barely won. Think about that. What kind of game do you think this team would give KC or Cincinnati with Matt Barkley-Nyheim Hines-the offensive line from the first Miami loss and Diggs/Davis with bum wheels?

There is absolutely no nuance. No toss plays, creative plays, i think every run we have is in the same formation. Do we really run draws either?

It's only a parroted coachspeak mantra, reflective of what the coach tells them. That's what happens when you have a motivational coach with no bag of coaching tricks or innovation/flexibility. It's run its' course if it no longer means anything motivational like "go out and kick their asses because they're down to Skylar and and this is a home playoff game for Hamlin and we mean to win a Super Bowl for the glory of all."

They're like "Ok, whatever. See what happens. We'll be fine, however."

[Joe Fo Sho]

We're playing with house money anyway, right?

I heard from a super smart predictor of the future that it was impossible for us to make it out of the wild card round, and this person is literally wrong about everything so now I don't know what to think.

If we lose to Cincy (entirely possible), he will gloat to no end: “I was right all along.”

If we beat Cincy? Op will be like “We won’t beat KC”

Oh but Baltimore's D is better than Buffalo's!! Baltimore's weapons are better than Miami's!!!

Huntley has no business being on an NFL field. I'd take Skylar Thompson 1000x over that bozo, and both are garbage cans with arms.

[Prov401]

It's ridiculous to say we don't have a shot. Every team in the AFC has flaws. The Bills game yesterday should not have been close. But it's football. Josh did not play great. Dorsey didn't call a great game. That can't happen from here on out.

Here’s the thing folks: there are no carry overs. If we had beaten the fins 56-3 some of you whiners would feel better. But the reality is none of those points would carry over to the Cincy game. Just as Josh doesn’t start next week with 3 turnovers. New game 0-0. Predict away but you actually have no clue what will happen. Chew on that negative Nancy’s.

Well let's just say if the Bills' record were the same as OP's predictive track record we wouldn't be anywhere near a playoff run. :bf1:

In fact I'm pretty sure OP has the first pick in the TerriblePredictions Draft this spring.

Also, no one seems to want to acknowledge that while the Bills have won a lot of games, almost every one since the bye has been like Sunday. We get off to a big lead, then we go to sleep, and what should be a blowout turns into a nailbiter. It's not the exception for us. It's the rule.

And despite Cincy's struggles on Sunday, you're nuts if you think we will beat them if we play as poorly as we did against the Fish.

Off your point but since you brought up that game:sigh:.....we could've tried to get Norwood a bit closer. You still had 8 seconds left. He was not a good kicker so maybe it wouldn't have mattered. But 47 yards on grass for weak legged Norwood seemed unlikely to me I remember thinking at the time. Not that he choked just that he kind of sucked.

[Bill Cody]

Oh we are still gonna lose.

It's going to be a great game. We're at home. And we have a great QB with a heart as big as the stadium on our side. More likely than not they will start fast, they always seem to. But this is going to be a 60 minute, back and forth, both teams throwing haymakers game. I cannot wait. It's going to be epic. Bills win and the fans are going to need oxygen.

Pretty sure 99% of the posters here can see the issues with the Bills (most notably Josh Allen’s tendency to turn the ball over at inopportune times).

Everyone knows Cincy is a good team and the Bills can lose. Show me 1 poster who said we are going to “for sure” or “easily” beat KC and Cincy? And no, while Notacon suspects we will beat Cincy (as do many in the national media), even he didn’t say it’s a sure thing.

If you are the fan you claim to be, you wouldn’t “gloat” on your high horse and say “I was right” if the Bills lose to Cincy. Everyone here is prepared for a Bills loss anytime over the next few weeks.

Make them a BOGO offer and take Frazier too.

Believe me, when the Bills lose to Cincy, coming on here and gloating about being right isn’t going to make me feel better.

They’re only gonna get so many cracks at this. Allen’s big contract kicks in next year and it’s going to to be hard to keep the squad together or bring in talent. And at the very least, it means another 8 month off-season and 3 month season before we’ll even know if we will be back in the playoffs.

And I don’t know what notacon said about Cincy, but he said we would easily beat Miami and he was wrong.

on the subject of the buffalo bills of this year and last year, he has been right far more often than wrong.

you, on the other hand, are the complete opposite. So, the fact you have picked against the Bills (yet again) gives me far more confidence Bills will win

The fact that your confidence regarding the Bills is based on what I say and not how the Bills have actually performed speaks volumes about you.

[Skooby]

Meh.

Burrow will just get rid of the ball quicker and then we are at the mercy of the defense's tackling skills, which can be lacking.Yeah he won't, he's in deep. You'll see Sunday.

I think it does make you “feel better.” It’s why you have always done it, and somehow think it makes you out to be a soothsayer.

The problem is anytime we play a tough team, you just say “we will lose.” This year, you have been wrong more than 50% of the time. Naturally, there are times we will lose.

These Bills are not the 2007 Patriots. It’s unreasonable to expect we will automatically beat every team. At the same time, there are NO 2007 Patriots in the playoffs this year. Hell, even they lost.

Yea, it’s gonna be hard to keep everyone together next season. Everyone here knows that. Beane is a good GM and has work to do. He’s not the only one. Mahomes contract is kicking in, Allen’s will kick in, and Burrow / Herbert / Lamar’s contracts will too.

You mean the Chiefs team that barley beat the Chargers and Broncos twice, barley beat the Raiders, took overtime to beat the Titans, Texans(gift win). Who also lost to the Bills, Bengals, and COLTS. You do mean that Chiefs team corrext?

This is why I picked the jags
the chiefs have been playing with fire with bad teams
(Texans, broncos)

the bills have been playing with fire with ok teams
(Phins, packers etc)

I was pissed when I started this thread. This team is capable of dominating and they just haven't been. It's frustrating. I'm going with my heart that they play like we know they can tomorrow. 35-24 Bills. Cinci scores a late TD to make it look closer than it was.

Nobody would care of the conditions of a SB win, nor would he. Until that day comes his pessimism is justified. They’re still losers until proven otherwise. If they don’t win it this year it ain’t gonna happen any time soon. Look at all the things that have broken our way, just begging us to win it:

1. Bengals got royally screwed having to play at Buffalo

2. We get the benefit of a neutral field should we play Kansas City. I think this is the correct move, but fair is fair and the Bengals deserved the same, so this is preferential treatment.

3. Mahomes is banged up with limited escapability. We should play some man to man and mix in several blitzes to take advantage of this. Do you trust Leslie Frazier to adapt and take advantage? Rhetorical question.

4. Should we exploit all that charity we will face an NFC QB that is clearly a tier or two below Josh Allen.

We have the talent and a QB who is an absolute gamer in the biggest moments. If we don’t win it this year it’s because of ****ty coaching. Worse yet, it would take at least one more year to justifiably fire them due to perceived success, so there goes yet another year of Allen’s prime down the ****ter.

This is why this season has not been fun to watch. This is no longer 2020 or 2021 when we were playing with house money. It’s all or nothing this year.

On the flip side, if they seal the deal despite the pressure of being preseason favorites and weathering some key injuries, then the keys to the kingdom are theirs and we all shed the loser label forever.

Your post (while it may be too pessimistic), brings up reasonable and valid points. I agree with some of them - including the fact that Bills - Bengals should have been played at a neutral site.

The points that OP brings up are not “pessimistic”. It’s straight illogical. I and many others have gone over the various statements he has made and his “look at me” attitude. The worst was him going off when Hamlin was injured, which was painful for me to read. He is obsessed with “being right” and gloating when the Bills lose (or even when they win - which has been 14 times this year).

This site should be a place to talk Bills football, debate, provide various viewpoints, and share in our obsession of the Bills. Ive been on this site for over 15 years, and a Bills fan for 30+. I understand many are jaded. To an extent, I am too. But people should be able to come on this site and not have to hear the self-proclaimed Homecoming King talk about how special he is.

I agree. It was way to optimistic.

[Mace]

Well look at this, it was realistic reality with some hope anyway for some people. A lot of people just need to shut up and take the pain, because the people who had bad feelings about this game didn't get slapped down and humiliated in their own house by an opponent they saw coming a mile away.

Am I happy about it ? Oh yeah, this is a freaking hoot year after year and I'm having the time of my life seeing it coming and arguing about it.

[Novacane]

The writing was on the wall after last weeks game. If the Bills were capable of beating the Bengals they should have destroyed Miami. I was holding out hope but deep down inside I knew that's all it was.

Correct. Third string QB should have been demolished by a true Super Bowl contender. Most of us were rationalizing the eeked out victory in order to feel better.

Orgies or drought years?

[Kenny]

wow... didnt think we'd get dominated like that. Really thought Allen would have just put everything on his shoulders and make this at least competitive.

But I guess from a complete team perspective, NO ONE should be surprised. It's obvious, but worth putting on paper:

Packers game - Bills gets DOMINATED in the second half
Jets game - Josh and offense as a whole sucked. Defense didnt look bad, but that was on the account of playing the Jets offense
Vikings game - Josh and offense looked okay, but ultimately Josh lost this game. Defense sucked
Browns game - Josh played timid (due to the past turnovers) and let the players around him win this game. Defense surprisingly shut down the run, but backup Brissett makes this a very close game
Lions game - Josh again plays timid (due to past game turnovers), but running game saves the day. Defense sucks. We ultimately should have lost this game
Patriots game - pretty clean offense. Josh and offense looks to be back on track (I'm thinking maybe this is the start of being good again?). Defense looks good, but we're facing a combo of Zappe? and Jones. Patriots offense in disarray
Jets game - pretty clean game by the offense again. Nothing spectacular by Josh and crew, but you figure the Jets have a top defense so you let this pass. Defense looks good, but again, we were playing the Jets offense (and got to Mike White early... Milano was a beast)
Dolphins game - we get outplayed on both sides of the ball for 3 quarters. Luckily Josh wakes up and put's the entire team on this shoulders and wins a home snow game for us (we barely come out with a victory... but hey - a win is a win right?)
Bears game - Josh did not look good. Running game was amazing, and Bears offense stinks so our defense looked good. We're we tied or losing going into the half of this one? (either way, it was a pathetic start vs. a Chicago team)
Bengals game - Hamlin injury. but they were moving the ball with ease - McD and Frazier should have been able to come up with a gameplan for the playoffs!
Patriots game - 2 kickoff TDs from Hines. Otherwise this could have been a close game
Dolphins PLAYOFF game - offense SUCKED and defense looked okay on the account of playing a 3rd string QB (even though Waddle dropped 2 or 3 deep passes that might have changed the outcome of hte game). We NARROWLY escape with a win.


So 11 games before the playoffs and not one dominant game. Not even one side of the ball showing that they COULD be dominant. We go into the playoffs vs the Dolphins and barely win. It was terrible season overall. I'm hoping Josh and the rest of the team are happy that they won their own 'superbowl' when we beat the Chiefs earlier in the season, becuase everyone disappeared afterwards.

But hey... given the 11 or 12 games heading into the beating we got from the Bengals yesterday, I guess all of those wins are just wins right? Next game is always another opportunity to improve? Or maybe the Bills are just the most overrated team in the NFL?
Not sure how anyone can be proud of what we did given the above.
