BillsFan130

Just saw a stat: Josh is 14-2 in games where the temperature is below 32. Home field with frigid weather, should be a massive advantage for the Bills

Sucks, but I honestly don't think it matters. KC is going to win by two scores, with or without Mixon in my opinion. (Might be 3 scores now)

Love it. The Colder the better for my money

Ya I agree- Cause to start the 2022 year, the bills offence was really good. Then it seemed like teams figured Dorsey out. Combine that with a couple of key injuries on defence, (Von miller, Tre white being a shell of himself coming back from injury, etc) and then the Damar Hamlin incident against Cinci? I think that's why that team went sideways

I will give credit where credit is due, really good post buddy and I appreciate you taking the time to dig into the stats. Fron the 2022 team stats aside, something just felt off with that team- Kind of reminded me of the Minnesota Vikings in a way, where they really didn't pass the smell test, even though the record was good This year feels different. And I am the furthest thing from a homer, if anything I am on the slighty pessimistic side. Health for sure is important to your point- We will see what happens- Going to be a dog fight on Sunday

Maybe- I saw the flaws before that though as well. They were on the verge of getting absolutely destroyed in Cincinnati, before the game was cancelled

September/october 2022 the bills were much better. November onwards, it's really not even close that the 2024 bills are much better. I would guarantee the stats would objectively say the bills were a way better team from November to the divisional round , compared to the 2022 bills. And most importantly, anyone who watched the last 8 games or so of the 2022 bills would agree. It's pretty black and white

The bills absolutely dominated that Denver game and you know that. I can also say we were one Dawson Knox/josh Allen mis communication away from getting another TD. Or what if Vinovich doesn't miss the blatant hold against Kincaid in the end zone that took another 4 points off the board? Can't play the "what if game". It was an ass kicking all around, and even the biggest broncos homers would admit that. Yes bills are flawed on the D line- Not denying they don't have flaws. (Every team has flaws). But objectively this team is way better than 2022, and that was my main point

Giving KC their only loss (without their backups), and going on the road and beating the 15-2 Lions is paper tiger ish to you?

Im Not talking about hindsight- I knew in mid December that team was going nowhere. And I knew after they beat Skylar Thompson by a field goal, that they were going to lose to Cinci. You are telling me that you didn't, and you felt the same in 2022 after the wild card game to where this team is now? It's not even close. Will the bills lose to the ravens? possible as they are a juggernaut. But I would bet a large amount of money they they aren't gonna lose by 17 and get dominated

The first half of the year, 100 percent agreed. But it was obvious towards the end of the year that they were going nowhere. Wasnt it Jerry Sullivan who said the awkward offence statement to Josh towards the end of the year when he told him- "this doesn't look like a Super Bowl offence". He is a jerk, but he was right. That 2022 team was cursed, and anyone who feels the same coming out of that Skylar Thompson playoff win, to the team we have now, I would respectfully question their memory/judgement

Did you not watch the 2022 Bills? You came out of that regular season/ that wild card game barely beating Skylar Thompson, thinking that they were a legit Super Bowl contender?

2022 bills team were paper tigers for a lot of the year. (Even though they had a bunch of wins) 2024 bills team is a legit Super Bowl contender. I don't see any similarities, respectfully

You're right- however those defences went on different paths. I listened to locked on broncos and they said their defence was a disaster the last 5-6 games. (Minus against the chiefs backups) Meanwhile Baltimore was horrible to start the season, but arguably have been the best defence since week 11. I still have faith in the bills offence- But those defensive stats are a bit misleading , as those defences were/are going in opposite directions

I just opened up a full on Celsius vs Fahrenheit conversion debate in the middle of a bills vs ravens thread, didn't I lol

0 percent chance I am calculating that when it comes to the conversion haha, I'll gladly take the L and chirps instead

Im Canadian haha, I was waiting for someone to call me out on that I'm Way too lazy to google "Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion "

Nope- Same principle why I'll never draft Miami dolphins in fantasy. Would never want to subconsciously go against my team- And in the fantasy football case, would never want Miami dolphin players to do well

Ya I agree with that. The Good news is Lamar hasn't played in colder than 27 Fahrenheit- So the cold could be a little shock to the system for him on Sunday

Ya I don't know how people can drive back a ton of food during Bills games. Whiskey diet for myself

Sunday Night Temps: -14 feels like -19 celcius. (Might be a degree or two warmer as that is late night, I believe) Gonna be a cold one- Which I think favours the Bills

True. I think sanders will be there for them though if they want him Heard from Tom Pelisaro on the rich eisen show that a lot of teams are staying away from him

This whole weekend was a total flop for the playoff games. Only good one was the Washington/Tampa game

They would have to trade for him, but ya that's definitely a possibility as well

Funny enough, I think they were 14-3 in 2022 and were equally as bad haha. As they lost to the giants in the wild card game
