Why are we even arguing about strength of schedule? It's just a form of mental *****. The Bills and Patriots play twice, we'll know after those two games which is the better team.

I love this. It's hard to root for a team that's trying to buy a Super Bowl. Go Niners!

What a load of crap. Bills fans have been humbled for the last two decades. Hell, losing FOUR straight Super Bowls will humble a fan base and that's when we were playing great. Now that the Bills have real talent all over the roster with a stud franchise QB why shouldn't we be excited and optimistic about this team? IMO the sad sack posters are exhibiting clear signs of PTSS with the idea that the sky is about to fall in on the Bills because the Pats are playing good football. It's insane.

Do you think the Bills were extra motivated to beat Houston this year because they lost to them in the playoffs in 2019? Being motivated to beat KC was about way more then avenging a couple of losses. It was about becoming top dog in the AFC. The Chiefs had been to 3 straight AFC championship games and two straight Super Bowls and had beaten the Bills badly in the championship game. Being motivated to beat the Chiefs was more about claiming the top spot in the AFC then any type of personal grudge match. And what do you mean the Colts beat themselves last season? They didn't turn the ball over and didn't exactly have a lot of penalties. It was the Bills that blew 4th quarter leads of 14 & 10 points to make the game a nail biter at the end. The fact was that the Bills largely controlled the Colts stud RB holding him to 78 yards on 21 carries. And they did it without Star! In contrast the Colts couldn't handle the Bills stud QB who ran for 54 yards and one TD and completed 26 of 35 passes for 324 yards and two TD's.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Bills lost to the Colts. Indy is a solid team. My point is all the nervous Nellie's throwing out gloom & doom scenarios saying that a Bills loss would be expected. Given the circumstances no Bill's fan should be expecting the Colts to win. So while I wouldn't be shocked by a Bills loss I expect them to win. And I prefer people who look for reasons why the Bills will win then trying to dig up every reason why they will lose. Off the top of my head the Bills playing at home and facing a less dangerous QB then they did last year in Rivers are two very good reasons why I think they win this game.

The Bills were beaten TWICE by KC last year and in the Championship game were beaten badly by the Chiefs. That's a lot different then getting beat by 3 points in the playoffs.

Are you talking about all those dump off passes to Moss that Brady threw? Brady was never reluctant to launch it downfield. And for the record I like Jones and think he is doing the best of the rookie QB's this year. But we're a long way from knowing whether he's the best QB in his draft class. In some ways Jones reminds me of Baker Mayfield: came from an elite college program and hit the ground running. But after a fantastic rookie season Baker's progression leveled off and now it's doubtful the Browns see him as their franchise QB.

No it means that PFF has very little credibility. We already know Allen is a fantastic QB.

You state this as if matters in any way. PFF is a clown show at best.

You have to laugh at all the nervous Nellie's on 2BD for the Colts game. First, the idea that last years playoff loss will motivate the Colts in any special way is silly. BOTH teams will be motivated because this is a big game with playoff implications. Second, the idea that the Bills got lucky to beat the Colts in the playoffs last year is BS. Buffalo led 14 - 10 at half; 17 - 10 at the end of the 3rd quarter; 24 - 10 early in the 4th quarter and 27 - 17 midway through the 4th quarter. The Bills never trailed in the 2nd half. Third, Rivers played a great game against the Buffalo D last year in the playoffs. He threw for over 300 yards, two TD's and had no TO's. It would be a long shot for Wentz to play as ell as Rivers did. Fourth, I don't know whether to laugh or cry at Bills "fans" claiming that the Wentz game against Buffalo in 2019 will have anything to do with this upcoming game. Hell, Wentz has regressed as a QB since that game and Allen has gotten much better.

Last years playoff game will have zero impact on this game. Both Indy & the Bills should be motivated to win now that we're in the playoff hunt stretch. And I fear an accurate, patient QB like Rivers more then I do Wentz. Sure, it will be a tough game but I see the Bills taking it by 7 - 10 points.

There is a big difference between this O - line with Brown at Tackle and Williams at guard then with Williams at tackle and Ford at guard. .

On the 15 yard TD sweep by Breida watch Brown pancake the LB. It's impressive from both a physical and athletic standpoint.

Does anyone luck out in having their interceptions dropped as much Mahomes? That's two tonight.

All you need to unleash Allen and that WR group is a little time to throw the ball. Brown is playing great and Williams is a much better guard then tackle. And I'll say it - Brown was a home run pick in the 3rd round.

I don't understand you saying it was driven by the defense? Sure they've played great but the Bills are producing huge yardage eclipsing 300 yards in every game so far. I think the issue is that even when moving the ball at will and rolling up yardage and points the Bills offense seems off. This IMO is due to a below average O-line that introduces a sense of chaos on a lot of the pass plays and RB's that are not able to make teams pay for how they're defensing us. That big TD run by Motor on the 2nd play of the Miami game should have been repeated multiple times. Instead, our run game is more apt to lose yardage then gain yardage on any given play. And let's be honest we all fear 3rd and 1.

It wasn't very important for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. Hell, home field really didn't matter for them either. IF the Bill's catch fire and finish say 13 - 4 or 12 - 5 and lock up the 2nd seed that will mean two home games and a road trip for the championship game - just like last season. Wasn't it as recently as 2019 that the Ravens had the bye and home field advantage and lost their first game of the layoffs?

Looking at the full picture here's what I see: * Four of the five Bills wins have been blowouts with margins of victory huge by NFL standards (18, 22, 35 & 40 points). * Their 5th win ended up being by a comfortable 15 point margin against a team that has won back back to games since including a big upset over the Ravens. * Two of the Bill's losses were by 3 points with the Bill's offense having the ball in their opponents territory with a real chance to tie the game & force OT or win the game outright. * Their 3rd loss was by one score against a likely playoff team in Pittsburgh. The difference in this game was a blocked punt TD by the Steelers. The Bills led this game at half by 10 points. * The Bills have not trailed at halftime in any game this season. The Bills have out gained their opponents in every game this season.

It's not abut justifying the Bills loss but placing it into proper perspective.

Thank goodness we have the tiebreaker with Miami then.

So did the Dolphins. But you're looking at the losses with the belief that the Bills are a better team then the Ravens and so their loss was more surprising. I also share this belief but to a neutral person who doesn't root for the Bills or Ravens the loss to the Jaguars and the Ravens loss to Miami look equally bad and unexpected. Just like when I saw that Denver led Dallas in the 4th 30 - 0 I almost fell out of my chair.

I believe he was referring to the fact that you said Miami was clearly better then the Jaguars yet Jacksonville beat them head to head. My rankings of stinkeroo looses this year: 1) Ravens lose to the Dolphins by 2 scores 2) The Jets beat the Titans with Henry 3) The Bills self destruct in Jacksonville 4) The Broncos take a 30 - 0 lead on Dallas early in the 4th quarter in Dallas

They are? They're both 2 - 7 and Jacksonville beat Miami. And the Bills lost by 3 while the Ravens lost by 12. Now don't get me wrong - the Bills loss was terrible but it was NOT the worst loss of the season. IMO tonight's loss by the Ravens was. And I would argue that Denver destroying Dallas at home was pretty bad to.

Even the refs couldn't get Baltimore over the hump when the Ravens forgot to cover a receiver.

Yea this game puts the Bills loss into perspective a bit. IMO the Raven loss tonight to Miami was worse then the Bills loss to Jacksonville. The Ravens just lost by two scores and didn't score a TD until less then 5 minutes were left in the game. And unlike the Bills, who haven't been blown out this season, the Ravens were crushed by the Bengals.
