Given who they put on the field. This was a very beatable version of Pittsburgh that we got today. We played like a bunch of scared wussies, and got our a$$es kicked by a taxi squad. Mularkey blew it too. Yes logic says you kick the FG on 4th and 1, but you have to know the momentum of the game. We had it at that point as Willis was getting yards. Missing that FG was more deflating than a stop on 4th and 1 would have been, and our defense was still thinking about the miss on the long run by a PRACTICE SQUAD RB. The chance to keep momentum on your only good drive of the day was better with your quality RB than your crappy kicker, and showed no faith in the O. Our confidence was GONE after that sequence of events. This choke today was bigger than any of the Superbowls. Just when you thought the Bills were on the way back up, we re-establish ourselves as WORLD CLASS CHOKERS! I'm embarrassed to be a fan of this team today. We gave this game away in every possible fashion.

That is right. If Bills win +Jets lose, look for Colts to leave starters in longer to win game and send Bills to San Diego. But I'm afraid if Jets win then Bills are doomed when news hits Indy sideline.
-
The NFL already had a preliminary schedule out in USA today I believe. An AFC game is slated for 1 pm Sunday. That would preclude the Chargers from playing on Sunday, so I'd say unofficially that the Colts will not play on Saturday.

Sorry Steeler fan, but you've got it wrong. Your Steelers looked very beatable against a crappy Giants team a couple weeks back. Factor in that we'll get no Bettis, no Burress and probably no Roethlisberger and the way the Bills have been playing lately and it's not a stretch to think the Bills will win in our house. But beyond that, the fact remains tha wiining is not enough to get our Bills in. We need outside help. Since making the playoffs assumes a Bills win to begin with, the scenarios become more intriguing than this game. If we lose we stay home for sure, so it's not worth discussing.I'm sure I'd feel diffently if this game was in Pittsburgh or if the Steelers needed this game.

The Steelers D is better than any we've faced all season, even with backups liberally played. The Steelers and LeBeau's philosophy has always been to come after the QB. Bledsoe is usually not at his best in those circumstances. Bills will need a late TD to get into upper 20's range.

Bills 26 Steelers 17
In a perfect world the Rams defeat Jets 27-21 . However, this isn't a perfect world and I'm afraid that 1 AFC loss is going to end this incredible Bills roller coaster ride as the Jets win and Denver eeks out a win against Indy's backups who are probably superior to Denvers starters if the game's in Indy. I hope like heck that I'm wrong.

This is only if the BIlls WIN this sunday
If they beat denver and jets lose, They FACE JETS and we face SD
If they lose to DEN and Jets win they face DEN and jets face SD
If they lose to DEN and Jets lose....they face BILLS
Yeah I think I got that right.........
I'm tired of trying to figure it out lol I'm sure I made a mistake somewhere but all I know is they don't control who they play by their own game
Your info is already well known. The point is this: the Colts will already KNOW the outcome of the Bills, Jets games by kickoff or shortly thereafter of their 4pm game. If the Jets and Bills both were victorious, they could "choose" to play Denver the next week by removing players from the contest and thereby eliminating the Bills from the playoffs. Their strategy to try to beat Denver and send the Bills to San Diego would only apply if the Bills had already made the playoffs due to a Jets loss. Bottom line is , don't count on much help from the Colts to push the Bills into the playoffs. Our chances lie almost exclusively with the Rams.

I'm debating...
A.) Go to the Steelers game on Jan. 2 - leave around 4am Sunday, tailgate, go to the game, the drive home right afterwards
B.) Cross my fingers and hope for a Bills playoff berth in Indy - go to the game and celebrate the road to the Super Bowl
I wish I could do both, but I'm thinking the budget will only allow one. I won't have a ticket to either, so I'd have to scalp at both.
What should I do? Will it be easy enough to get a ticket to the Steelers game before kickoff?
Go to the Steelers game. Indy vs. Buf in playoffs is about as likely as winning the lottery.

for our Bills. Denver is now a virtual lock on one wildcard spot in the event of a Jags loss. The team in our way will likely be the Jets. We now need the Jets to lose BOTH their remaining games to have a shot at the playoffs. If the Jets win tommorow then Denver and the Jags BOTH must lose a game. I think those are the scenarios we'll be facing. I still think PITT will dispose of the Ravens. Our most likely route to the postseason would be for one team,the Jets to fail rather than multiple teams. I think we are officially moved to the "life support" category now.

about the chances for a letdown without McGahee? I know it's just the 49ers but our O hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire lately. Yes the points have been high but we've been getting points from ST and the D. Our running game seems to have disappeared when Campbell and Euhus went down. Now McGahee' status is VERY unclear, even possibly for the Steelers game. It seems no one is giving the 9ers achance. Kinda scary when you look at what happened Monday night. I am by n o means putting SF's talent level anywhere near the Dolphins. Just concerned about the potential for our incredible ride to come to an end before week 17.

Sorry guys but I'm a Bills fan and I'm a believer until the final play of this season. This team has made me a believer and with that goes unwavering faith in this season going our way.
Houston and Oakland are both dangerous teams and could hang loss on Jacksonville and I firmly believe Baltimore loses tonight to Indy and again to Pittsburgh. Denver may actually lose both its last games but will certainly fall to an Indy team playing for home field advantage on the final day of season.
Do we need help? Of course we do. But as Chris Berman says "NO one and I mean no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills!".
I don't belive there's any scenario for Indy to be "playing for home field advantage" if PIT defeats BALT as we want them to. Indy already has 3 losses so if NE and PIT win next week, that game at DEN means nothing to the Colts I'm afraid.
-
We beat the teams on our schedule. Its hard to do anything other than that. Are you trying to tell me that every team with a winning record has only beaten teams with winning records? You know that is not even mathematically possible. Seems to me we've played mostly the same schedule as NE. We beat a team today that NE just edged out by one TD. And that was at NE. Pitssburgh beat the powerhouse Giants yesterday. See what I mean?
-
Wouldn't that just be the kicker, to give NE home field and secure another SB for those douchebags.
-
because you can't go back and change the outcome of an event and expect everything else to follow as if the change didn't occur.
If Nate knocks that ball down and we win - our next week practice would have changed, etc... there is no telling how the season would have unfolded. A win in week one is just that - a win in week one. Maybe those loses were necessary for us to maintain this streak? Maybe we win week one, but lose today....
That's a load of crap. We lost the next week so it's not like that loss made us fight harder for a win the next game. There is no way that opening week had any impact but to cost us a season. I felt it walking out of the Ralph that day ,,that one play was going to bite us in the arse in the end. And even though the Jags struggled along the way, that win in their back pocket is co*kblocking us out of a playoff spot. Plain and simple. Also, I feel that the decision to rush only 3 at Leftwich on that play was the killer decision, not Clements. BL was playing like crap that day and should never have been given a chance to sit comfortably in the pocket.
-
will now cost us an historic turnaround of our season. Yes I'm talking about 4th and 22 vs JAGS. We rushed 3 at Leftwich on 4th and 22. He had FOREVER in the pocket to launch a prayer at Jimmy Smith for a 25 yard hookup. Yeah Yeah, say what you will about Clements' play, but the fact is BL did nothing vs the blitz all day and we backed off on the most crucial play of the game. Jerry's fatal flaw is backing off in these situations. It's a shame after this great 2nd half charge, but stick a fork in us as the JAGS are almost certain to go to the playoffs while we sit home and contemplate 4th and 22.

I can't agree with that. Our key to losing the last 3 SB's lies with Bill Polian's unwillingness to take 1 more risk to put the Bills over the top. Our biggest weakness at that time was our lack of bulk on the D-line. Parcells and Belichik knew this and it was key to their winning SB XXV. That offseason, Polian was known to be interested in an underachieving DT at Louisville by the name of ...Ted Washington. Now, bear in mind this was before the free agent era. Polian held his ground in the draft instead of making a trade to move up TWO SPOTS and snag Washington with the 25th pick, one ahead of where TW went to the 49ers. We settled on Henry Jones, who was a fine player for the Bills. But this was a Bills team that had one weakness only, and that was it. I firmly believe a SB victory would have been ours if we could stop the run effectively. We consistently ranked in the bottom 4th of the league against the run for most of that SB run. One player could have made the difference. When TW finally made it to the Bills, our O was a shell of its former self. B)

A tie with Denver at 10-6 would leave the Bills on the outside looking in. A three way tie with Jets and Broncos would leave the Jets at home and Bills/ Broncs advancing. If Denver makes 10-6 our AFC record kills us. We need Broncs to lose at KC, Jets to lose to Pats and either SEA or @STL. Balt should lose to PIT and INDY and JAX must lose one more game, probably at GB. B)

it's been pointed out previous on the wall that the bills haven't really beaten a good team and yet are professing they have a track to the playoffs. and i've been doing the stupid thing and thinking beyond the cleveland game, but...
1) i think the bengals have a chance to beat the patsies.
- i dont' think the patsies will go all out against them. they've essentially wrapped up the playoffs and maybe they're thinking homefield, but they're not going to show anything new.
- could a classic letdown game.
2) cincinnati might be tough to beat.
- the bengals have beaten some decent teams (baltimore, denver... ) come close against some good teams (pitt) and didn't get really blown out in any game.
- they beat a baltimore team that killed the bills.
- they have a real kicker. too bad he used to be a bill, but it's probably going to be a close game and they have a kicker they can trust.
The Bills have beaten the Jets, Rams, and Seahawks. Who else have we really PLAYED besides NE and Baltimore? You can only beat the teams you play, so I'll never buy that argument. The Ravens game can be completely placed on Bledsoe,as Boller had something like 80 yards passing the whole game and we were in scoring position 4times only to have DB blow it.Just bad timing, as I believe if we played Balt now, the result would be different. So back to your question, I believe Cinci will have a little less fight in them as NE will end their playoff hopes this Sunday. Cinci has a chance, but its about 10%. The Bills will not face an opponent with something to play for until the final week. They can't look past the Bengals, but if they play well a W should occur there. B)
-
Screw the Browns. I'm excited about the BILLS. I'm going to (hopefully) see the Brwons get crushed. Don't really care about the other team. This could be another good week for us if Cinci and the Jest lose. Yeah I know most are conceding a spot to the Jets but they've got the toughest road by far and I don 't see them being favored in 3 out of the 4. Cinci is surging and I'd like to see NE dispose of their playoff hopes before we get there. B)

That's the best you can do, implying that I am moronic? Moronic is defending or at least sounding as though you are, those who are responsible for the loss of decorum in our society. Yes it gets me pissed! That's exactly the reason for needing a few boatdrinks and a change in latitude/ attitude in the slow pace closer to the equator. And if I didn't know anything about that driver that cut me off, they just told me they're an A**hole via their actions behind the wheel. B)OMG, that is fantastic. Please tell me you are able to recognize teh irony of some guy whose name comes from a song about insanely shooting appliances, screaming hysterically at somebody else about how they are the one responsible for road rage. You don't suppose road rage could be the result of morons without the slightest capacity for self-control? Nahhhh, probably not.And for what it's worth I'm about as laid-back a driver as you will ever see. I leave early to get everywhere I'm going so I can take my time getting there. Sometimes I even manage to get there without screeching at people I know nothing about. And in the 20+years I've been driving, I've never touched/been touched by another vehicle nor had any type of moving violation since I was a teenager.
And no I never "cut someone off when turning onto a road from a stop" simply because I never bother stopping.
And no I don't drive an SUV. My primary vehicle is waaaaay bigger than those piddly little go-karts.
And why should I care a whit about rules and common courtesy when my vehicle is way bigger than yours.
Waitress, I need two more boat drinks...................on the grill of my truck.

So you probably tailgate somebody doing 65 but then get pissed when somebody tailgates you doing 70.
How dare those nasty people try to drive in "your" private lane!
Oh those awful trucks and SUV's and their "attitudes"
I'll bet $1000 that you're one of those terrible drivers that has no idea how terrible they are and therefore ironically complains about "other" terrible drivers.
You are OBVIOUSLY one of the drivers that he's talking about. What's worse, you think ITS OK! Yes there is such a thing as "right of way" ,however petty it may seem. In a sense, the area directly in front of you is "yours". Any one turning onto the thoroughfare that does not have the ROW is to allow you to pass by if they cannot negotiate the turn w/out causing you to apply your brakes. That is fact. If they do not apply the brakes and T-bone you instead its YOUR FAULT. But you would certainly hire Cellino and Barnes to argue otherwise. You are the problem with drivers these days. And probably drive an SUV to boot. You think wherever you have to get to is more important than ANYONE else and will do whatever it takes to get there. So get out of my freakin' way! That is the reason for road rage. You don't want to follow the rules, and have no clue when it comes to common courtesy. You're probably one of those people who will cut someone off when turning onto a road from a stop, even though you clearly see there are no vehicles behind them. You just can't wait for a stupid thing like right of way.
Jerry Gray is a fraud...

Every time the pressure is on , Jerry Gray shows that he has ZERO SACK! No Pressure on a half a$$ed QB that hasn't played in months. Instead we let him stand around and move a little bit to burn us with a PI penalty on a play that should have been a sack. We just do not blitz when the pressure is on. Its one thing to blitz with a big lead, but when we need some big plays in a tight game, JG backs off just enough to get you beat. Screw the high D ranking, we have no killer instinct and will never be more than an also ran until we do.
