    They win close games at a high rate.

    We lose close games at a high rate.

    Ball security and take the points.

    Let's see what this training room defense can do against a real offense.

      The Commanders scored 31 on them…TWICE… this season.

      Remember what we did to the Commanders.

        By that logic, going into last week someone could have said, The Dolphins scored 70 on the Broncos, and look what we did to the Dolphins.

        Not trying to be an ass, mate. But this game of “this team beat them and we beat that team so we should beat them” never adds up in the NFL. Never, after nearly 40 years of watching football

          If we score 30 plus points a game, we’d have won all our games. I was able to decipher 70% of the offensive plays by formation, so a professional would be a lot higher. We actually threw screen yesterday and our play action plays averaged 7.5 yards yesterday, little unknown facts. Dorsey barely used play action, he was a fool.

            Eagles are good. It will be a tough test. Jets, Cheats and Broncos losses though......

              FANTASTIC!!!!

              This gives the Bills a chance to show they are for real.

                My point was that they are very beatable, I just used their dual performances against a bottom dwelling team with a first year inexperienced QB as an example…I opined before, during and now after our malaise that there is no unbeatable team in the NFL this season. It’s full of meh. The giggles are not dominant by any stretch of the imagination and we certainly with a good effort can beat them.

                  I agree that nobody wows this year, but I am still very impressed with how KC and Philly can maintain success and find ways to win amidst what has been pretty mediocre play from the Chiefs O and Eagles D. That’s what winners do.

                  These Buffalo Bills—despite having a run of regular season success and being a SB contender from 2020-2022—still have one unmistakable resembling trait to the teams of the drought years: they still find new and inventive ways to blow games and opportunities.

                    I’m not gonna bother “researching” but I’d argue that most of our problems probably came down to stupid play calls and or Josh doing stupid ish.

                    Yesterday gave me hope that we’ve turned the page on the worst of those two obstacles to winning.

                    hope I’m right

                      Hope so too mate. The good thing is we won’t have to wait long to find out if this team is still a legit contender

                        Re: Whoopee the Eagles are next

                        Actually looked into them a little. They're entering their own proving ground 5 game stretch of tougher games. Hasn't been a tough schedule, beat the Cowboys at home and Dolphins, lost to the Jets the same way we did, turnovers....otherwise took care of their regular season biz like earlier versions of the Bills did when they were younger.

                        They're pretty comparable to the Bills. Around 1,000 yards in rushing (2 main contributors), 2,000 in passing (3 main contributors), Bills have more contributors, same general numbers.

                        10th in passing, lower half of the league in attempts. They can run, 8th in yards....21st in y/a.....so they grind (that's a worry) to open up the pass, and it's effective. They generally do not turnover a lot, but they're in a stretch of a couple per game. More disciplined with turnovers.

                        Their defense is a brick wall against the run, to date, 1st in yards, but 29th against the pass, while 31st in int's. They're 5th in yards per attempt so it's not like teams don't need to run on them because of the passing gravy.

                        They're beatable,if we show up with opportunistic aggressive defense, I don't see how a 50/50 run/pass offense will dent them. They're going to run to set up the pass, it's not a good matchup there....and at least to me it looks like a surgical passing game at all levels, even to backs will go a long way toward winning a high scoring game if we don't produce a turnoverfest, and keep the ball away from their clock eating offense tearing away at our zones.

                        Of course, by my track record, it could easily be a 10-9 game determined by Murray on 3 yard runs.

                        I'd probably want to attack them with an aggressive passing game to set them back on their heels for a while to butter them up for a last quarter James Cook flying around effort.

                          the eagles defense will be the easiest one of the 3 we have upcoming to face. the chiefs and cowboys defenses are on another level.

                              Bills play too undisciplined. Too many penalties. Too many turnovers. That's on the head coach.
