There are no teams i would be "ok" with having the Bills lose to in the Super Bowl. It would be a crushing feeling. I would prefer it if the Bills can't win it, it would be cool if the SB wasn't played lol.

I quit drinking about 4 years ago...when I DID drink, I loved the work christmas party (open bar, hotel room, etc.)...but always had those thoughts the next day of (wait, was I talking to my boss last night??? Did I say anything stupid???). Now that I don't drink, I typically don't even go to the work party as it's kind of boring lol.

I think our playoff D woes (I can't find the stat, but there was a graphic I saw that showed our playoff D gives up like 15-20 more points per game than our regular season D over the last 5 years) could derail things. If our defense can at least be average in the playoffs and Josh and the O stays on, I think we can go far. If we have anything close to the Rams game, we're probably not getting out of the divisional round. Again matchups matter...so I guess it also depends on who we end up playing in the playoffs.

For me, we are there now. SB or bust should be the expectation. It's not a cute or feel good story anymore to JUST make the playoffs.

"Why do you hate me?"

The Pats have and so has Denver...but they also have 9 wins among them.

I can't even imagine how scary that would be. Maybe if that ever happens he'll have a zen moment and just stare off into space and let the game just happen around him lol. Honestly, I don't even see KC as the biggest threat in the playoffs. I am more worried about getting past Baltimore (and even Pittsburgh with Wilson's ridiculous deep throws) first. I mean, who knows what will happen, but after yesterday and the Ravens game earlier, there is some serious concern that this type of defensive performance comes back again in the playoffs as the competition ramps up.

At this point, if the Bills ever win a Super Bowl with McD as head coach it will be because they've somehow loaded so much talent on the team that they win despite his coaching...or Allen and the offense score so much that McD's in-game coaching decisions can't contribute to a loss.

That would require some level of smart coaching (i.e. I know my defense can't stop a nose bleed today so I need as many points on each drive as possible).

100%. In fact, it's the main reason they are 12-1 right now. Their O is nothing special this year, but their D keeps them in every single game. If it wasn't for Allen's 4th and 2 conversion they may be undefeated thanks to their defense.

Thank you! It's exactly this. It's not the losing...its the how they lost. Both the Ravens and Rams games the D was just bullied. And statistically speaking our D in the playoffs is BAD under McD. That's the crashing back to earth feeling that I had watching yesterday...

Just curious where you see the Bills matching up well with Detroit. Detroit has the advantage at O line vs our D line, at RB vs our LBs, at WR vs our Safeties. Not trying to call you out specifically but just trying to get a sense of why people think this might be a close game...at all. Yes...but no.

The special teams thing is crazy to me. That is most likely correct to say that because he doesn't play special teams he doesn't get activated...but our special teams SUCK. This staff puts way too much emphasis on special teams to have it be a poor unit. They should just get the best/most talented D and O players on the field regardless of special teams.

Yet again...such an absolute waste of Allen's elite skills.

That's the thing, because Campbell is aggressive it provides extra opportunities to swing the game in favor of the Bills (stuffing a 4th down in the Lions territory as an example), but I don't think we have the dogs to do it is the problem.

No, I'll watch. I never miss a game. But yes, after yesterday's debacle, we should all be very encouraged and positive! 100% agree. Campbell is not afraid to go for it so it could be another game where our O has 15 to 20 mins of TOP. Just hoping for no injuries at this point. Lol, not my first rodeo, just stating what I've observed. This seems pretty likely at this point. #2 seed seems like our destiny again this year.

We have almost no shot to win this game. And if we are lucky enough to get to the SB but have to play the Lions, we're screwed. Our D line sucks, Milano might never be the same again, McD bone head coaching, etc. Feels like we are the Rivers Chargers. Allen is the best player in the NFL but he can't do it all by himself.

It is a big deal though. 1 seed is all but gone with a loss likely in Detroit...needed to get this one today to have a shot.

It's crazy that we are always the 2 seed...now that the 2 doesn't get a bye. Like having Allen while Mahomes exists.

Hard to see either happening but would be nice.

Here's to hoping

Done deal. 10-2 was fun for 7 days.

I wish. We have had some great regular season records since 2020 and beat them in regular season but they always have at least 1 more win than us to get the bye....or come to us with our street free agent defenders. Just can't get anywhere as long as they exist. A lot of negatives from low positive lol

I bet he still eats it

Is mahomes retiring?
