This thread is not about expectations. There are tons of other threads where that gets discussed. This was a thread about appreciating what we have. It wasn't to suggest everything was perfect. I can't understand why people can't see that distinction.

But this is not the thread for that. That is the point. Make your other points elsewhere. They are not for here. This thread is about appreciating what we have.

This thread isn't about whether the Bills have overachieved or underachieved though. That isn't the point of this discussion. This thread is about appreciating what we have. What we have is a team that comes out every week and plays hard and is in every football game and a Quarterback who is always exciting to watch. Sport is entertainment, if you can only enjoy and appreciate it when they win a Lombardi you are setting yourself up for a lot of sadness. Bills fans should appreciate having the team they have, even through frustrating losses and underachieving seasons. And anyone who can't do that should consider whether being a sports fan is good for their mental health. EDIT: none of which is to say fans shouldn't criticise or question things that could have been done better, or individuals who could have done them better. But they shouldn't lose sight of the big picture in doing so. The past five years have been a lot of fun for Bills fans and you have to enjoy the good times.

He couldn't have used DAZN in the UK last night because the Bills were the Sky game and so blacked out.

I think Gilmore got his arm in there. It was certainly catchable but I call that a pass break up not a drop.

On both sides the refs were not super hot on holding. Which makes for a better game IMO. Only call the egregious ones.

Worth saying we are 12th in total defense and 4th in points allowed. Which given the three key pieces we have been without for practically the entire year, including two first team all pros, is really impressive. I think some of the gameplans and late game playcalling have been bad at times, but equally those overall numbers given the injuries are pretty strong.

The problem last year was even against a light box we couldn't run it because our guard play was pathetic. The two guards have been huge upgrades.

Yea he is undisciplined. That said, he is an upgrade at backup safety on what we had last year. But a backup is what he is.

You know what they say.... practice makes perfect!

And in all but the 2021 game the offense crapped the bed in those games too.

1 good game every 10 followed by an injury? I can confirm that is Jordan Phillips.

I appreciate having a team that is in every game, every week. It is over 2 years since this team lost a regular season game by more than a score. That means as a fan you are watching your team at least have a chance late every week. Sure we have lost some gut wrenchers, but we are always a competitive football team.

I have been critical of some of the DC work Sean has put out there this year... but the past 2 weeks he has done a really nice job, both in terms of scheme and playcalling.

If Mike McCarthy uses his timeouts here he is a loser.

I want to go to bed so I am fine with Dallas running the clock.

Kyle Allen and Ty Johnson time.

The pick was just a matter of time.

I was thinking the same when I saw Lamb come up gimpy.

If Murray is running it will be a couple of three and outs. I'd like to move the ball a bit in the next drive.

You can sit Cook, Josh and Stef now. Let Kyle hand off to Ty Johnson.

James Cook is the truth.

Worthless is harsh because he was done fine as a returner. Not worth the contract though. Not even close. He is an easy cut.

Run it, run it and run it some more!!

Floyd made that play. Big Phil with the clean up.
