Bills 27 Pats 23

So cool that you were there! I was in Nashville from 93-99 but happened to be in FL supporting my wife running her first marathon during the MCM, IIRC (think I watched some of the game in the airport). My idiotic move that trip was running three miles with her in Tevas - Got some very bad blisters, of course.

Grew up in Buffalo and was in Nashville for grad school. I use y’all occasionally without any sort of southern accent. I’m sure I’m not the only one. Go Bills!! Fu@k Instincts!!

I know what the percentages are according to the models, etc. But here are my own takes: Bills will definitely make the playoffs. No question about that. They have about a 15% chance to win the division. Unlikely but not completely impossible. That percentage increases to maybe 35% with a win this Sunday.

Assuming we don't win the division, getting the 5th seed, e.g., and playing WC game in Pittsburgh would be an ideal scenario. Would set us up to possibly have a home game too. Basically, beat the Bengals and root for the Steelers for the rest of the season!

Bills 31 Bengals 27

Narrative this past weekend: Josh will get sacked a lot//running for his life. Result: 0 sacks Narrative for this coming weekend: Bills can't stop Bengals and Bengals D sucks. Expected result: Bills get some stops and Bengals D isn't total trash!

Totally understood - It's been a rollercoaster for sure. And extremely frustrating at times!! I'm here in Cincy and would much rather have Josh and be 8-4 than have Burrow and be 4-8 praying for a miracle!

Everyone is of course free to say or write whatever they want, but your post is the fan's reaction equivalent of snagging defeat from the jaws of victory after a solid win. Not perfect by any stretch, and it doesn't mean we're SB bound or even playoff bound necessarily, but your 1-10 take is way too "glass half empty"/pessimistic/negative/woe is me than warranted in my opinion.

Don't think we'll win out but people seem to be ignoring two key facets of yesterday's game: (1) the weather conditions were not conducive to throwing the ball (plus our ground game was on fire), so yesterday would not be the best game to evaluate our passing game and (2) unleashing "running Josh" can be a game changer against any opponent. We save that for key games/moments, and it's huge. Don't underestimate it's value down the stretch!

Go Bills! Punch em in the mouth! Prove the skeptics wrong!

Seems all business - I like it!

Bills 27 Steelers 23

Happy thanksgiving, Bills brethren! Driving to Pittsburgh today but back to Ohio Saturday before the game. I'll make sure to kick some Steelers fans in the nuts if I have an opportunity to do so! Go Bills!! PS, I was worried that using the word "brethren" might offend but per Google there is a definition as I intended: humorous people belonging to a particular group.

"In a game played in February, we stole victory from the jaws of defeat . . . and then I woke up"
