    Wins a win

    So much crying. Why does everyone think other teams play perfect games every week.

    10/10 times the bills of the drought lose this kinda game.

    It’s the playoffs. Win or go home. WIN or go home… they ain’t going home yet.

    Yup.

    One correction though - they are going home. And getting ready for next week - which is another Home game they rightfully earned with a 13-3 record.

      It’s because the bar is raised. This is supposed to be a top 2 team

        They will be 1 of 4 teams left in the AFC.

        All 4 teams left have issues.

        Right now I would rank them…

        1) Cincy
        2) Buffalo
        3) Jags
        4) KC

        Unless Ravens win then they would be in 4th spot.

          If Tua had been playing and they won by 3 points in a back and forth game I'd take it. The way this went down is worrisome. Our offense and special teams kept handing points to a 3rd string QB who could not move the ball. Of all the games that were close this season this one should not have been.

            I wrote this on another thread that may explain some of this phenomena...

            In college, it DOES matter how you win a game depending on the quality of the opposition. That’s because (somewhat subjective) RANKING is what is king. If a highly ranked college team plays against lowly opposition and only beats them by 10 instead of 30, it counts against them.

            I don’t usually watch, nor am I a fan of collage football. I watched the so-called “playoffs” because I have close friends that are both Michigan and Ohio fans.

            The games are like a video game or pinball...lots of flash and noise, very little substance or really quality football...as compared to the NFL. A handful of good players running rings around the 98% of the players that will never even come close to sniffing the NFL.

            Fantasy football is even worse. It’s all about individual STATS in a TEAM game. Stats are fun and all, but, don’t necessarily decide games.
            Come playoff time all that matters is that you are one point ahead by the end of the game.

            Live to fight another day. If anything, the Bills, once again, showed how resilient they are and can overcome their own mistakes.

            The Buffalo Bills are a VERY TOUGH team to beat.

              BTW....the LAST game the Bills have lost is vs Minnesota.

              The Vikings are packing up their lockers and going home.

              Buffalo Bills are playing next week.

                  Like most people I didn't expect it to be that close. I'm glad we played as good as we did; on to next year for us. Enjoy the rest of your season Bills fans

                    I just don't see this ending well and I've been watching football for decades enough to see what's working well and what isn't.

                    I'm still with them, don't see it happening though.

                        I take issue with this entire playoff format.

                        Any Division Champ with 12 wins or higher should get a first round bye. Better yet, all 4 division winners get a bye, and the next seven to eight seeded teams play the WC round.

                        There needs to be some sort of benefit for winning your division with 13 wins or higher, conversely there needs to be some sort of punitive measure for winning a division that is **** from top to bottom.

                        Let the 8-9 and 9-8 scrubs battle it out for the right to play in the divisional round.

                          Holy Crap. I'm considering merging every single one of these threads. FFS... you all sound like you're 8 years old.

                              Bengals fighting for life vs a backup Qb too Huntley. And don’t tell me he’s that good
