    I was more concerned about the whole having to prepare for two teams at the same time thing because the NFL waited until the last minute to see if they were going to reschedule the game again if the Titans kept getting positive tests.  I'm still adamant the Titans should have forfeited. 

     

    When you consider that, plus a knocked down hail mary vs the Cardinals, BIlls very well could have been 15-1. 

     

    But getting back on topic, I overall could not care less what talking heads are saying. I was not too impressed with Lamar last week or this season (speaking as someone who had him in Fantasy). I thought they looked dominant against bad competition though.

     

    The Bills will try to load up against the run and make Lamar beat them with his arm. And I don't think they'll be able to keep up with the Bills.

    It's a valid vent.

     

     

    Ya, weird how they laughed when 55% of the popular fan vote took the underdog Browns to win (which had a better pick record than most of the experts) before it turned out to be right.  Almost as if the so called experts only care about storyline narratives like it's the freaking WWE or something.

     

     

    An injured Allen, Titans Covid schedule shenanigans, 10 Bills penalties, Titans going +3 in turnovers, and a pre-bye Bills defense helped Tennessee in a game they only managed 336 yards of offense.

     

    You could also argue the Titans Covid Shenanigans cost the Bills the Chiefs game too. Was supposed to be a TNF home game with both the Bills & Chiefs on a short week. But because of the Titans messing everything up, the Chiefs ended up with TWO extra days rest. It was total BS. The Titans screwed up, but the Bills got screwed.

     

    Not to mention the Titans got a bye before playing the Bills.

     

  3. Just saw a stat where the Colts were the first team in NFL Postseason history that had over 450 yards of offense, no turnovers (yes I know they should have had a fumble but remember that was at the very end of the game) and still lose.

     

    If the Bills can overcome that from a good team, then we know this is a great Bills team.

    How does this even make any sense?

     

    You’re comparing this year’s Colts team to Colts teams of the past and because they’re not one of the top 10 teams in the history of their franchise they can’t stand up against a top 5 team in Bills franchise history?

     

    That’s just bad analysis. The Colts historical success and the Bills historical success have zero impact on how these two teams match up in 2020. 
     

     

     

    Exactly. If we had just beat an 11-5 Patriots team (which wouldn't register as a top 10 season for them) in this fashion, no one would care because we just beat the Patriots (as an example).

     

    Past franchise success has no bearing on a team's current or future success. 

  5. I think I echo other people when I say I think having to tough out a playoff game after blowing out opponents will be a good thing for the Bills the rest of the postseason.

     

    They essentially coasted for three weeks playing their best football, came into the Colts game and didn't play their best and had to win a tight one.

     

    This will serve as a "wake-up" call of sorts that the playoffs are a totally different animal than the last month and a half of the regular season. This game will only make them stronger.

     

    Again, they didn't play their best game, took Indy's best shot (and they're a very good team) and STILL WON!!!

     

    Relax and enjoy the rest of Wildcard weekend, then it's on to the Divisional Round!

    I couldn't care less about playing Brady or not.

    I do NOT want to play WFT.

     

    Are you not aware of the indian burial ground curse of AFC East vs NFC East in Super Bowls?

     

    Bills - Giants (AFCE loss)

    Bills - Washington (AFCE loss)

    Bills - Dallas  (AFCE loss)

    Bills - Dallas  (AFCE loss)

    Patriots - Giants  (AFCE loss)

    Patriots - Giants  (AFCE loss)

     

    I mean, what's up with that? Even when the AFCE team was *clearly* the better team (at least twice, and probably three times if you look at both Pats games) they lost.

     

     

    If you wanna go way back...

     

    1970 Colts-Cowboys (AFCE Win)

    1971 Dolphins-Cowboys (AFCE loss)

    1972 Dolphins-Redskins (AFCE WIn - Dolphins perfect season)

     

    There were also the two Patriots-Eagles SBs that were split. So it's more like, 3-8 or something. Obviously the Colts used to be in the AFC East.

     

     

  7. I live in South Florida. Naturally I'm freaking ecstatic over this.

     

    #1 defense...pft. I was saying it was misleading to my Dolphin fan friends. They were like 18th in yards, so they were classic "bend, don't break" and getting super lucky with turnovers.

     

    Bills are just a FAR SUPERIOR team. No doubt after that game. Allen owns them.

    You root for them to hold onto the #3 seed so the Bills line up with them instead of the Titans for the Division round.

     

    Don't forget, both PIT & CLE hold tiebreaker over TEN (by virtue of them both beating the Titans).

     

    Assuming the Browns take care of business against the Jets, that means PIT OR CLE will finish 12-4 (since CLE and PIT play Week 17 and they don't tie) and will finish ahead of TEN.

     

    Even if TEN finishes 12-4, I don't think they can jump over whoever the AFC North Champ is. 

     

    What happens if BUF, PIT/CLE & TEN all finish 12-4? Bills just gotta take care of business.

     

    GB/TEN & IND/PIT are gonna be epic games.

  9. Going to school an hour from Pittsburgh, I can tell you most Steelers fans HATE Tomlin.

     

    The arguments have already been gone over: handed a great QB/Team, could never get by the Patriots with BB/TB, beat the weakest team to make a Super Bowl (Cardinals) etc.

     

    I think he's a good coach and would definitely get hired if he was ever fired. But the Steelers haven't fired a coach since the guy before Chuck Noll in 1968 or something. I doubt they do this year after an 11-1 start no matter how it ends.

    Actually from 1990-1999, the Dolphins overall defense was statistically ranked higher than the Bills 6 out of the 10 years. 

     

    Most of that was when Jimmy got there and they got Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor, Trace Armstrong, Tim Bowens, Sam Madison, Brock Marion, Patrick Surtain etc.

     

    Even though the Bills defense was ranked #1 in 99, Miami wasn't too far behind that year IIRC. The Dolphins defense was TERRIBLE Shula's last few years.

    I remember urban Meyer recruited him so hard to come to Ohio state, but he wanted to stay home. Urban always laments recruits who got away (Deshaun Watson, Christian Kirk are a couple others he was obsessed with and didn’t get) and Diggs was one of them. 

     

    In his freshman year against WVU (I was at that game) - he had 3 rec./113 yds/2 TDs. Along with a 17 yd punt return. I just looked it up. He was incredible that game.

  12. I live in Fort Lauderdale and Dolphins fans swear up and down that if Marino had the roster the Bills had, the Phins go to multiple Super Bowls like the Bills did.

     

    Marino never had a Thurman Thomas to hand the ball off to. For awhile they had Bernie Parmalee who they got from UPS I think.

     

    And even though the Bills defense was average during that time, it was still better than the Phins. No Bruce Smith, Cornelius Bennett, Darryl Talley etc. Phins fans also say if their defense was at the caliber it was in the late 90s/early 00s (under JJ and Wanny), they at the very least prevent the Bills from going to four straight.

     

    Sometimes it's just roster talent. Would Marino have won a SB with the Bills? We'll never know.

    Top selling? Wow, that’s crazy!

     

    What McD, Beane and JA have done to turn around this team and culture is pretty awesome.

     

    Oh yeah. He was one of the few Bills who was gonna be around for a long time and make a couple Pro Bowls/be in the Pro Bowl conversation.

     

    Good investment really. I got a McGahee jersey after his 2004 season. What a waste of money since he was gone two years later.
