That’s what I said at the time! Even Josh can’t stomach watching our defense.

I find it a bit funny the Pats fans that come back here moan about the game and still trying to stir the pot. Just take your loss. Admit the better team won today… see yall next time. But really? You have to still try and talk like there’s some reason you lost other than the Bills just beat you. Your MVP QB came up short. Ours didn’t.

Denver’s defense ain’t no joke. They’re gonna be a tough game for anyone they play.

Looks like the road to the Super Bowl goes through Denver?

Yeah. My guess is a jammed finger after that bobbled attempt at catching a ball on the first play of the game.

I haven’t had time to read this thread… but just have to say to all the naysayers and doubters posting all over the board before the game: The Bills beat the Ravens in week one, when it was their “revenge” game and they had all offseason to prepare for our beat down. The Bills beat the Chiefs, back when they were resurgent and “on a roll”. Everyone thought they were putting it together for a run. The Bills beat the Bengals after they had 10days off and Burrow, Chase and Higgins were finally healthy and ready to take control of their division. The Bills just beat the Patsie, after their Bye, on their home turf, when they were all fitted for their championship shirts and everyone was ready to give Maye the MVP and for him for a HOF jacket. This team IS flawed. And I have no idea how far they can actually go to is year. BUT they are resilient, tough and there’s not a team they can’t beat. They’re not done and ain’t no window closed! Have faith and enjoy the wins! I love this team. Go Bills!

If there’s one team the league and the refs favor more than the Chiefs… it’s New England. Now that they’re relevant again, you just have to go in expecting BS penalties and non calls on them. I will be absolutely shocked if we don’t have more penalty yards than them.

I agree with the premise. However, I would play anyone that can this week. Do your best to get this win. Then rest anyone with lingering injuries after. Exception being maybe Bosa with his hamstring; just depends how severe it is/was.

At this point, I wouldn’t have another practice all season. We have to have lost more players due to a practice injury than in game?

Thats how I feel about it. Winning this week does 2 things: keeps the #1 seed in play (granted we need help to get that, so can’t be too upset if those chips don’t fall). It also puts us in better position to get the 5 seed. And if you’re going the be a WC, you want to be the 5 seed because that gets the easier draw in the WC and divisional round. We can still get the 5 seed with a loss this week, but a win makes it much easier. But then too there’s the.. F that team! I want to see them humiliated for all their years of cheating and paying off the refs. Go Bills!

The problem with this line of reasoning that is steadily brought up on this board… Beane acquired and built a roster this summer only to have a good portion of those players go on IR. The injuries started before the season began! It’s hard to blame Beane for not foreseeing injuries.

If I were that dude… I’d just retire now so it would speed my induction into the Hall of Fame. Heck with how awesome he is, they may not even make him wait 5yrs.

Agreed on all accounts. Another reason I would like for them to not clinch this weekend as it puts a little pressure on them to keep playing at a high level.

I have to agree with this. Managing the roster especially in regard to key players with an eye towards the playoffs is where we’re at… almost. I think they have to kinda go all in this weekend. There’s still a chance, albeit a slim chance, that they can win the division and even be the #1 seed. The first half of the season the Bills were often said to be “playing with the food” and sleepwalking because its all about the post season. Assuming they’ve had that mentality, it has to end this weekend. This is a big game. Last week was pretty big. It allowed us to keep pace with all the other WC contenders. Plus, it put the bengals in a huge bind. They’re not eliminated but beating them goes a long way to ensuring we don’t see that offense in the playoffs. Now we get the last big game of the regular season, IMO. Get this win and they’re in a great position.

The schedule makers really did us no favors with these last couple games! The Bengals game after they get 10 days rest. Followed by a big divisional game and the Pats have a 14 day rest. I expect the Pats to come out on fire. They’re rested. Know they win the division with a win. And have eyes on the #1 seed. We have to come out and match that physicality and energy right from the start. And hopefully have a better game plan to keep Maye contained in the pocket.
