I would love to hear some honest answers from the team in the post-game (maybe some "yeah we got pushed around", "we got humbled", "we weren't ready today") instead of the "its one game", "we have some things to clean up", "I need to play better" canned BS.
I hate to say it, but this is how the playoffs are likely to go. The 7 game win streak, the 10-2 record, dreams of the 1 seed, etc. were all fun, but this team is so bad on D against good offenses.
Need a huge play on D here...turnover, sack, something! If we can somehow get this to 31 to 28 with at least 12 or 11 mins left in the 4th we have a shot!
Oddly, if we drop this game and next week @ Lions, I think we need to route for KC (gross) to beat Pittsburgh so we can at least have a shot at the 2 seed.
The last 7 games were fun. We were bound to lose at some point.
I think we can move the ball on O and will score in the 2nd half. It's really ALL about the D right now...just really, really bad half. Rams scored on every possession except for the last one because of the end of the half.
Rolling with our playoff D today. And some really curious play calls on O (lots of deep shots instead of just driving like we had been doing all year). This opening possession is likely game-defining. If we can get 7 we are in it. If we get no points I think we're cooked. Sucks that next week will likely be a loss too...unless we can come back in this one today, 1 seed is probably done.
I'm not saying the current Bills are like the Patriots, but I remember several years during the Patriots runs where I would watch their games and be thinking "they aren't even that good!" and yet they just kept winning. This year's Bills make me feel that way. There are flashes of amazing play, but generally it FEELS like we aren't doing much on O but then we get to 30 each week. I think it's because we have an efficient O that has TD drives vs. TD explosive plays (except here and there).
I honestly don't know if I would make it through the game if it was close the whole time and we had either goal line D or O on the field to either win/lose lol.
