We Won the Game Right? Right?

You don't always win them pretty.

Does anyone think the Dolphins won all of their games pretty during their perfect season?

Should have saved this post for this thread, so I’ll put it here also.

I don’t think there are many teams in this edition of the NFL that could take as many injuries as the Bills have and still be 8-3! Seriously, I don’t like Dorsey’s offense and Frazier’s defense with this group that is fighting there butts off makes it hard to watch. Think about how many games the starters have missed! We have played second and third testers and waiver wire pickups.

Yes they are VERY hard to watch but right now I still see the glass as more than half full!

I'm relaxed. We still have Josh Allen. Anything's possible.

Whose freaking out? It’s just a game, go eat some Turkey and you’ll be fine.

A ****ty half against the Packers?

It's an outlyer.

A loss to the Jets?

It's a warning sign.

Fumble a win away at home?

It's a bad trend.

Get picked apart by Brissett and Goff?

This team is a first round playoff exit.

All seasons have ebbs and flows. The Rams were not perfect all year last season. Lest we forget, the Lions had 3 consecutive wins.

It is easy to lose sight of all of this. There are high expectations on this team, as there should be. They are extremely talented and are one of the top teams in the league.
At the end of the week they will still be no worse than having the second best record in the AFC with 4 more games at the east to come, 3 of which are home.

Just keep winning and work on fixing the issues that exist (If White can come back full force that will be a huge help)

Hopefully this isn’t the team that’s in the playoffs, hopefully it’s the healthy team that is in the playoffs. Huge difference.

1st team in NFL history to win 2 games in 5 days that wasn’t in their home venue.

They suck.

Re: We Won the Game Right? Right?

I'm not really comfortable with any game they play, much less 4 critical division games. I understand the injuries, but haven't seen coaching step up. You see personnel step up when talent and skill is better, but you don't see coaching scheming for matchups or compensating. It's going to come down to pure player talent, and frankly it might not be healthy pure player talent.

It's not going to ruin my life any worse, but it's a disappointing result in the 6th year of a program with hand picked talent in a contending season. We just played the Brown and Lions, not the other contenders.

I don't feel this is going well, despite the injuries, because Allen is not throwing well and the receivers are not catching well, and that's the bread and butter.

They have an apathy, next game will work out better, but they don't look real focused and intent on the prize besides lip service.

This was the game where it finally sunk in for me how badly the injuries have affected us. Josh is clearly feeling the elbow. Morse out and then Dawkins. Entered the game without our 2nd and 3rd DEs, then lost our #1. Missing Micah Hyde and (mostly) Tre White. Pro Bowl MLB out. Can’t forget Jamison Crowder either.

There are very few teams that could even dream of being 8-3 with a lineup that worn through.

If we can get back to a somewhat reasonable injury level, there’s no one we can’t beat in the playoffs.

It's kind of hard to believe that's the case and somebody else hasn't won a road game and then beaten Detroit on Thanksgiving. But, maybe the league has paid more attention to making sure the Lions opponent has had a home game the Sunday before than I have.

Re: We Won the Game Right? Right?

I get injuries and the weekly challenge of winning games.

Bills found a way to win.

I don't need VR googles to read 8-3. That's real.

Yet some will spend the next week with the googles on, instructing us they will lose to the Pats. Convinced everyone loves whining.

Coaches will need to change up schemes and put the past game to bed. Somethings many fans have trouble doing.

3 straight divisonal games on the schedule.

Only the Pats matter. Meanwhile, I get to watch more college/pro football this weekend without a football worry in the world. We're in the clubhouse with a win.

Great post. The Bills are basically playing with half backups on both sides of the ball. The entire O-line was backups besides RT. The entire defense was backups besides Milano, Poyer, Oliver and Dane.

If they can find a way to beat New England Thursday, it will be a huge feat. Winning 3 games in 12 days with one game being moved due to an avalanche from the sky, and having zero practice for said game, then a quick turnaround to play a hot Lions team, followed up by another Thursday game against arch Rival New England.
