  1. It’s quite logical actually. If you’re so certain that the Bills will fail due to their head coach , following them or dedicating hours of time to watching them is pure folly. Very illogical behavior for one who is certain and in the know. Any Bills fan who has watched in recent years is familiar with the playoff games and performances. They don’t need more attention because it’s irrelevant: not only is it known but it’s completely in the past. All that matters is the future and that means this season and really ,the next game. There will be plenty to discuss to be sure. Making dour predictions and statements when there are at least 5 games remaining to be played is illogical - unless it’s just a lot of coping for the inevitable disappointment that’s around the corner.
  2. Again if you don’t feel the Bills have what it takes to “ overcome” their head coach , what’s the point of watching them ? Of course you wouldn’t ignore it, but you’d probably be watching something else. Would you waste time following/ watching a certain failure? Probably not; you’d say call me when you get a new coach. So the negative posts are a major coping mechanism or just hoping you are right about your take on the Bills - a sort of Shadenfreude.
  3. Probably true. The Bills don’t like to blitz very often, so consistent pressure must be generated by the front 4. This group doesn’t get that done consistently and certainly not in the playoffs.
  4. I believe Josh Allen will win this team a Super Bowl. The Bills defensive performances have been exactly what they looked like. Proof that the Bills are not an elite defensive football team. I’ve got my issues with McDermott, and I don’t think he will be the reason the Bills get a SuperBowl win. But these negative posts are just a coping mechanism for tough losses. What’s the point of watching if you just think the team will lose anyway? I want to watch the best QB in the NFL- Josh Allen bring a Lombardi trophy home to Buffalo. I think he can because he’s that good. The Bills defense isn’t tops in the league, but they’re good enough if healthy.
  5. No one is trying to emulate anyone or anything. They’re just trying to get to nd win a Super Bowl. Mostly the Bills have had a bunch of bad luck when it comes to advancing or not. Even 13 seconds took a bunch of unfortunate things combined with questionable strategy to put the Chiefs ahead. Nah it’s coping. There’s no concepts to research or magic key. No mystical formula. Just a few plays here and there in most cases. I get it , Bills fans have had to chew on some really tough losses. Easier to brace yourself for a negative outcome and lessen the disappointment than it is to Bill-ieve ! It will just make the victory so much sweeter when Josh Allen Hoists the Lombardi overhead for all the Mafia to see.
  6. A lot of coping going on in those types of opinions. No one wants to be the one to step up and say they think he’ll get it done. Much easier to pile on and say otherwise. Less disappointment if a playoff loss occurs.
  7. I’d venture if the Bills and Ravens met again the game would be much closer. The Bills had significant defensive injuries and Allen did t play well. The Bills have beaten the Ravens in previous meetings. They’ve also beaten the Steelers the past couple times. The Bills were also a Gabe Davis mental error from beating the Eagles in Philly last season, and only lost on an unlikely long FG in the rain. The Bills offense and Allen could also dominate any of those teams. A lot of consternation and hand wringing over a bad defensive night. Could the Bills lose in the playoffs ? Of course. They also have Josh Allen, one of the best 2 QBs in the NFL. A playoff loss is far from a forgone conclusion.
  8. I disagree. The 2 seed does matter. It’s a chance to play at home if the 1 stumbles. 3 or 4 is not as big of a deal.
  9. Depends who the hypothetical people are. Fans ? They’ll do nothing. T Pegs, Beane ? We’ll see. If a Super Bowl was lost due to poor game management or bad defensive strategy it could mean a change at HC. Far from guaranteed, but it could.
  10. It’s not any more of a turnover than a punt return for a TD. The ball is going to the opponent anyway as soon as it hits the foot. Terrified ! Lol … let’s be real about this. The Bills can win in the playoffs because they have Josh Allen. Period. It’s always going to come down to the matchup. This year will be no different. Their best chance was always going to be by securing the #1 seed. As Yogi Berra would say “ that ain’t rocket surgery”! Losing a shot at the 1 seed is a far more frustrating development to anyone paying attention than just now realizing the Bills defense isn’t an elite unit.
  11. Breaking news : the Buffalo Bills vaunted defense will not carry them through the NFL playoffs to a Lombardi trophy. More on this story at 6 !
  12. Their chances were miniscule even with a TO. Plus many extra seconds were going to tick down getting everyone off the pile and spotting the ball. They needed a stop and should have had a false start on LAR to make it a tougher conversion at that. The game was effectively over there.
  13. The defense is what it is. That’s been known all season long- actually for several seasons. The offense can be better- having Coleman and Kincaid back gives them more options. Cooper is becoming more involved. They’re not going to score in the 40’s weekly. The defense will have to perform closer to their season average for the Bills to win in the playoffs. A game like yesterday’s , while winnable because we have Josh Allen, will not be a favorable situation in the postseason.
  14. Exactly ! Why haven’t they thought of this ?
  15. Only thing that matters is where the owner is at - at the end of the day.
  16. That was one of Allen’s worst games. I don’t see that as being any kind of trend right now. That was one of the highest scoring games of the last few decades. I’d guess the winning score would be around 30 or so .
  17. Jims and Joes not X’s and O’s.
  18. Never underestimate the left when it comes to stupidity.
  19. It’s amazing. How did the Bills amass 10 wins with such a sorry lot ?They’ll certainly not win again this season. Welp, at least there’s virtual golf until spring comes around !
  20. The 1 seed makes that a much greater possibility.
  21. Play of the game and our most realistic chance at victory evaporated with that no call.
  22. His love for the Chiefs knoweth no bounds!
  23. Don’t know if they’ve missed a kick without Butker.. damn
  24. Wait, I thought we wanted an offensive minded HC to go with our elite QB ?
  25. This is most likely correct. I doubt the Bengals make the postseason, and their defense is not what it was if they manage to. Not surprised at these numbers. The guy was invisible today.
