If the staff and players don’t let the pressure of the moment best them, then Buffalo wins this game. The Bills are definitely the most complete football team and “Defense travels” & “Defense wins championships” are both sayings for a reason. I think you are right, Oliver and the DL will make Watson’s life a living hell, forcing him into bad decisions. Bills Win, 26-13.

I like the way Buffalo matches up in this one personally. I will be disappointed if they don’t get the W. Nothing about the Texans outside of Watson and Hopikins is impressive to me, this defense should be able to handle those two. Shut their lackluster run game down early, they are going to want to pass the ball often regardless, and that plays right into the strength of this top 3 defensive unit. Josh and the offense ran into some really stifling defenses down the stretch in Baltimore, New England and Pitt but even prior to those games, this offense was starting to click against Miami, Denver and Dallas, with the latter two both fielding respectable defenses themselves. Defensively the Texans rank right around the Dolphins in total D, and I expect Buffalo to be able to keep the chains moving, play solid defense, and follow their winning formula to the first Bills playoff victory since the Clinton administration.

I just meant I wouldn’t waste any real time breaking down film on the Jets or spend any other valuable prep time focusing on coming up with specific game plans geared towards exposing their weaknesses. Personally I would rather all the time, manpower and available resources that would be be put into preparing for the Jets instead be redirected towards getting ready for the playoffs. Start backups, just run vanilla stuff, who cares what the Jets do, the only goal should be getting out of the game healthy. After seeing some of McD’s comments, I think he is basically following a similar train of thought.

This game should just be treated as a preseason game with very little game planning, and feature the backups. Starters shouldn’t even be bothered with having to prep for the Jets and instead should be focused instead on Houston.

You’re lack of perspective is concerning... how many drives did the Bills offense sustain to give the defense any chance to regroup, gather their bearings, or even catch a breath? In order to field a successful defense, your offense needs to sustain drives. That’s football basics 101. They had held their own despite Brady chewing up clock, but the Bills offense couldn’t get into any rhythm and stay in the field, but the late 2nd half the D just didn’t have anything left in the tank.

The defense scored under 20, again? And couldn’t sustain drives to get a breather?

Josh plays much better in a quick, uptempo offense, where he is just reading and reacting instinctively more than he does with Daboll’s garbage offensive gameplan. Its like Daboll wants Josh to be somebody else for 3 quarters, but then ge 4th rolls around, he has no choice but to let Josh be Josh.

If you are referring to Knox on that back corner endzone throw, we have two very different ideas of wide open. Daboll is bad because his game plan for the Patriots was terrible. One play where you think a TE may have been open and he’s a good OC suddenly? despite trotting out a woefully unprepared and terribly scripted offense for the first entire first half? If not for one miracle throw by Josh, they go into the half with a deficit. All I saw yesterday on offense was a couple big throws by Josh that kept the team in the game, and a poor offensive game plan as a whole.

Loss on Daboll. Not sustaining drives and then falling short once again in the same exact situation as the Baltimore loss at the end of the game. Obviously Josh missed some throws, but then he goes and makes throws I don’t think anybody else could make. Defense played a hell of a game. You tell me Tom Brady is running 70 plays at home and I assume they hung atleast 40. As Steve Smith just said “lacks creativity”...

D just gassed at this point... awful? They gave up 16 points until that drive, it would help if the Bills offense could sustain drives.

Jesus Christ... he can’t make a throw, can’t get in a rhythm. Can’t get Brady off the field, dink and dunk fest... seen this movie before

His arms weren’t extended, no way that ball magically got extended with his arms moving forward.

How? Clear and obvious he was short

What is he saving his challenges for a more important play!? Nut the ***** up

What are those ***** flags stuck in their pockets with these holds!?!!

I can’t watch this ball placement for this next 15 years, he needs to get it under control. I’m not even trying to drudge up the tired innacuracy narrative, (though that last thrown was hospitality tent bad), his actual ball placement NEEDS to get better, somehow.

Definitely thought the season might be over at that point. As important as Allen’s diverse play has been, Tre White is the team MVP this year.

What do the odds become when Buffalo wins at Fuxburough? I can feel the Fitzmagic in the air. He’s brought down the beast with a group of misfits before...

The only chance this team has is defensive/ST points. I get that it’s been two tough defenses in a row, but Josh has to be better than this. Right now he is just another Mitchel Trubisky, far too inconsistent week to week.

This team is so one and done, if they even squeak in

The NFL is such garbage... with technology readily available to correct such blatant errors, why do they let ***** like that stand!?! 2019, literally makes no sense to let bad calls stand, just cuz

I agree the team looks good going forward. As for this year, I have a hard time seeing them putting together a legit run for a Championship, or even being anything other than one and done... Hopefully I am very wrong, and this team can step up to the plate and go get a quality win next week. Steelers shouldn’t be able to move the ball on this defense, if they get anything more than 17 points I will be disappointed. Allen needs to hit those deep throws. I know all QBs miss them, but these are difference makers. They put points on the board, open up the defense, and demoralize the defense. He has to start hitting these big time throws if they are going to win these tough games. The intermediate stuff is great, and probably the most important component to sustained success, but it doesn’t negate the importance of being able to deliver a consistently catchable deep ball.

I bet Ryan Bates, or whoever else they had to trot out there would’ve atleast engaged a defender, or atleast acknowledged their presence as they blew by...

What a steal Cody Ford was!!!

Good thing they spent a boatload of $ on this OL... getting throttled out there
