They may not need to, but they need to keep playing like they do.

Imagine the irony if the Bills made the big show in a year when everyone shoveled dirt on ‘em !

The main similarity to the 2021 team is they were also 7-6 at this point. So it’s possible the Bills could go on a run here. Josh and the offense are the meal ticket. This defense is just not as reliable as the 2021 squad.

Enough NFL rules benefit the offense. The rule is fine and shouldn’t be changed. The point of football is to move the football across the gridiron and eventually across the opposing goal line. If you happen to lose possession before the goal line and the ball goes out of bounds you’re in luck - possession goes to the offense. If you lose possession and neither score nor lose it before the goal line is reached ( “ through “ the opposing end zone ) your possession ends. Makes perfect sense . Don’t like it ? It’s simple -don’t fumble.

We stopped scoring on almost every drive, getting tons of first downs and going for it if we came up short in no man’s land. 3 and outs were almost unheard of.

Nothing ironic about it. The Bills put themselves in this spot by losing games to teams they shouldn’t - Pats, Denver , Jets. The Dolphins, up until their meltdown vs TEN had handled the lesser teams consistently. The Bills have a shot at the division now, but very little margin for error. The Fish have a tough schedule , but can afford a couple losses. Should be interesting down the stretch.

Eh , no. Now, the mob would be out in full force calling for the offending player to be cut immediately etc. The coaching staff would also be skewered for allowing the players to be undisciplined- heck there would be calls for the GM to be fired. Uncalled penalties would also be a topic, but the penalty itself is plain as day. He may as well have been lined up alongside Miller. Easy call, and the great Mahomes had 3 more tries after the penalty to get a first down.

Lol okay fair enough. Whatever approach we take as fans, the one thing that matters is that the Bills keep winning.

Exactly. Since when does the opponent making errors in execution negatively impact your win ? It’s often the difference between victory and defeat.

The fan base looking ahead at implications has absolutely zero impact on how the Bills perform vs Dallas on Sunday.

How bad was it, though? The replay showed he had an open receiver in front of a defender. Now, Josh never saw the intercepting player lurking to the side and that’s definitely on him. Mahomes , on the other hand tried to complete a pass through Epenesa , who was right in his face. The ball was predictably batted up by AJ, who also came down with the INT. You probably won’t hear much about that play, though.

No. Moving on….

Usually they will .. IF the WR looks over at them to check. Toney never did this and was so far offside it was ridiculous. Had to be called , but if he looked over they likely would have let him know

Not quite. The potential is there but it doesn’t look like the Bills will unite hold up their end of the deal. It’s worked out the way it has ( all games at KC) because the Bills and Chiefs finished in the same respective place in their divisions. It’s not looking too likely that the Chiefs and Bills will do this in 2023 ( it could still happen just doesn’t seem likely). That would currently mean the Bills wouldn’t play the Chiefs in 2024 and would get Denver instead. Still 4 games to go, so this could change.

Hahahahaha, it wouldn’t surprise me.

They’re both reprehensible acts.

That would be a first this season. Miller should sit , if just based on his play alone.

Araiza was a punter who never played a down in the NFL. He was on a rookie contract for a team that almost never punted. The definition of expendable.

The Bills skill positions aren’t as talented as SF’s. However, aside from a few self inflicted wounds and a lousy call they were easily in position to hang 40 on the PHL defense. The Bills D crumbled in crunch time rather than slammed the door on the Eagles. The Bills O may not be the Niners, but they’re more than talented enough.

I mentioned Knox and Levy already. Ralph rarely opened up the wallet for a “ name brand” coach. He did with Knox and it was one of the few successful eras of the team under his ownership. Pegulas have had 2 hires and are 1-1 in that department. Perhaps they’d be successful with a new hire if they moved on from McD.

Hmmm. So it’s true then ?

To be fair though, most of those hires were made under the ownership of Ralph Wilson. He was notoriously cheap with coaching hires. He only opened up the wallet a couple times and not coincidentally had some success then with Knox and Marv. He was even too cheap to pay Saban.

The Bills could luck into that too! Sucks that you need a QB injury to “luck into “ one of these types of WRs though.

Missed XP was killer
