  1. Anything questioning the Bills and not 100% positive is not allowed here and it will be responded to with Emojis and silly responses telling you exactly how they feel. We're all thrilled that they are 11 and 3, however pointing out that it has been a slog does not mean we're so down on them.
  2. And the same was said about NE and Brady for years. Difference is the Bills have not dominated anyone for a while
  3. Again thanks for missing the point. No Ints in 5 games (close doesn't count this isn't horseshoes or hand grenades). Fumbles in a scrum can bounce anywhere, so yes recoveries are often a random occurance (many articles confirm that). Only two 4th down stops in the last 5 games (one ended the game on 4th & 10). Meanwhile if you're going to obsess over 4th down the Bills have been bad the last 5 weeks. Cleveland 1 for 2 Detroit 3 for 3 NE 1 for 1 NYJ 0 for 1 (4th & 10 to end the game) Mia 1 for 1 So opposition converting 6 for 8 or 75% For the season conversion rate is 48% throughout the league.
  4. Are you calling the Jets 4th & 10 to end the game a turnover? Only other in the 5 games was vs. Cleveland. And yes in came Flacco the statue and we got the strip fumble the first play.
  5. Another reason the defense is not looking good is the lack of interceptions and big plays. Fourth down stops I don't count and fumbles are really 50/50 propositions (unless strip sacks). Face it a little lucky vs. NYJ (got two fumbles), but would be nice to get an int and give the offense a short field.
  6. Against the Bills, easier to score from 12 yds then it is from 2 to 3. The ball was right where I was supposed to be the receiver dropped it. We just said the same thing if it was Josh. And would have had a field day if it was Mackenzie or Davis dropping it.
  7. 11-3, but disjointed. Right now a team that is definitely a Super Bowl Contender but not one that strikes fear like they did in 2020 and 2021. The only thing the opposition is worried about is Josh Allen.
  8. I don't think there was much they could do having only two timeouts and the Bills moving the ball. It was going to be a field goal at the end of the game regardless.
  9. The Bills too were lucky they dropped a td pass. One thing the Bills have been good at is defending first and goal inside tge 5. The issue is allowing them to get there.
  10. Regardless a hold was called on that play which would have negated any catch.
  11. MacKenzie was held prior to the dpi too.
  12. When Allen makes a bad decision or throw you are surprised. A few yesterday, but under pressure and tough conditions. Again was there a single great catch made (yes Diggs on the first drive made one). When he missed Diggs in the third I was surprised. Again the play to end the half can only be made by Allen & Mahomes. The last drive in terrible conditions was vintage Allen. Big third down passes in big situations. The DPI on MacKenzie was too after a hold on him.
  13. The point was all they did was rush. They didn't even pretend they were going to pass. That's when the rushing #'s jump out. Knew it was coming and still was fairly effective.
  14. Yes I remember the game clearly too. The TD run sorry is inexcusable when you know all NE is doing is running the ball. The conditions were atrocious and ruined the game. The FG was missed too due to Bass trying to compensate for the wind. The fact Allen could actual throw in the wind again showed just how good he is (I remember the 2-3 passes Mac tried and they were pathetic). Forecast looks a little better for tonight.
  15. Footing is an issue in the snow and that can be a great equalizer. GB who were the top seed the last two years oh, guess what happened when they were playing cold weather? Don't blame Rodgers. The elements played a factor.
  16. Almost everyone is good with a 10 and 3 record, what people are posting about is how they got there. You cannot ignore that there have been issues.
  17. Corrected it for you. Bills would have won by 14 and then hosted KC.
  18. Agreed, but weather like this could easily adversely affect the Bills too. A close game and the DB slips defending Hill and next thing you know an 80 yard TD. Weather creates a lot of variables, mostly negative.
  19. Agree to some extent, but up until HT of GB I was fine. Agreed bad first halves vs. Balt (much I blamed on the weather) & KC it was more mistakes (they punted one time in the half), but I was never worried that they couldn't turn it on. Heck I remember them getting the ball at the 4 yard line vs. KC and thinking "96 yards before half, no problem". Since GB and the # of Ints (cleaned up of late) and way too many 3 & outs (or short drives).
  20. They've also lost close games, not sure that's a great thing either. As I see it they are 3-3 with Baltimore, KC & Detroit wins offset by Miami, Minny & Jets losses. Always looking for the silver lining?
  21. Struggle is a few games (maybe 3). It's been 6.5 games (with NE being closest to a good game but #'s just okay).
  22. Sure fun to watch on TV & if no wind, can be fun to be there too (leaving is another story), but when it can affect the outcome (i.e. a slip or fumble at a crucial time) it is a harrowing game to watch. I know not snow, but that NE game last year was played in conditions that ruined the game.
  23. Don't disagree, to me this year has gone on longer. They haven't put together one complete game since the bye. Redzone wasn't the same issue either. Trust me I hope I am wrong.
  24. The eye test sorry is what counts. I don't care about stats (remember the wind game, Jax and Indy were awful). The Bills offence has been off/stagnant since the second half of the GB game.
  25. So do I, but the last 6.5 weeks (second half vs. GB) have been just off.
