Georgia Bill

It would be nice but it won't be easy. First off NE typically pounds teams they play after the media paints them as cheaters. Secondly, they actually have something to play for (home field) whereas nothing will change with the Bills playoff schedule no matter whether they win or lose these next two weeks. It's nice to say we're going to be motivated to "send a message" but I suspect we'll lose this one. And that doesn't trouble me all that much - I'd rather beat them the 3rd time we play them this year ?

So, if we beat New England and they beat Miami and end up at 3rd seed, we'd still be 5th seed. Likely path to the Bowl (assuming we could do it of course): Wildcard, #5 Bills beat #4 Texans in Houston, #3 NE beats #6 Steelers (or other WC team) in NE Next week, #5 Bills beat #1 Ravens in Baltimore, #2 KC beats #3 NE in KC AFC Championship Bills at KC OR if we lose to New England and they win out and keep 2nd seed, likely path to the Bowl: Wildcard, #5 Bills beat #4 Texans in Houston, #3 KC beats #6 Steelers (or other WC team) in KC Next week, #5 Bills beat #1 Ravens in Baltimore, #2 NE probably sneaks out the win against #3 KC in NE (don't see them losing to KC there twice) AFC Championship Bills at NE Which do you prefer? Basically WC weekend and Divisional weekend probably the same for us either way. I'm not sure if our odds would be better against NE or KC. That said, if we could knock off the Texans and the Ravens, you'd have to feel we could beat anybody.

If you're suggesting that Pittsburgh blitzes less than Baltimore so that somehow helps us, keep in mind Pittsburgh is watching the Bills-Ravens tapes. They've seen how effective the blitzes were. They are going to be getting after Allen, trying to rattle his cage and prevent him from getting any rhythm. He is going to have to find a way to make much quicker reads and get the ball out in a hurry.

Had that last catch been caught you might have said it was a lot of fun. I was glad to see our defense playing lights out and offense clawing back.

We played what made be the best team in the NFL right down to the wire. No shame. Refs did NOT hurt us today either.

I can't recall which team, but I do seem to remember a 7-9 team winning the division and getting in. Nobody changed anything then.

True, the ball "hides" better against black uniforms and dark skin. Don't skewer me, I'm just stating the obvious.

They sold over 2 million boxes first time around, when it was just meant to be a publicity stunt. They're hoping lightning strikes twice.

No. Don't mess with the secret sauce we're brewing...

What concerns me is the biggest weakness I saw in their defense was edge runs. Suppose the Bills see that and make a big part of their offensive game plan trying to copy that - BUT - Baltimore reviews the tape, sees that, assumes we'll attack there, and makes adjustments to stop it. We better have a plan B?

The Niners have had the most success running off the edges - with Mostert. I'd like to think we could have that success with Singletary, but he does get a lot of good blocking. Their tight end has been blocking well to help the run game also. Mind you these are a couple of the best running attacks in the league we're seeing. It's easy to just envision the Niners jersey's are Bills' and that's what will be happening next week, but I'm not convinced we're playing at the Niners level yet.

Am I missing something? A few minutes ago Garapolo threw to his receiver in the end zone and the defender who was in front of him just stopped, which caused the receiver to run into him, completely disrupting his potential to get to the ball, which went over both their heads. Isn't that clear pass interference? The Ravens defender was not making a move to the ball.

This is the more likely scenario - talk of Bills winning the division is post Cowboys stomping fantasy (barring something unforeseen like a Brady injury). I do think we'll beat whoever we play in the wild card game. Then who would we rather play next - Patriots or Ravens? I'm with you, I'd rather go to NE for that 2nd round game.

If the Niners defense can't find a way to slow the Raven's offense down, I don't think we will. I'm hoping that they "show us the way". It's also possible that Baltimore is getting all jacked up about their big game with the Niners, and will have some form of let down against us. Plus we are at home. I'd like the Niners to lose in a hard fought close game - as I don't want the Raven's coming in here smarting from a loss.

from "blogging the boys" @ SB Nation: This is the summary of their "Grading the Cowboys" blog. I get that they are bent out of shape at the Cowboys and want to grade them an F. But they dissed the Bills too. Not cool. "Summary: F An utterly inept performance in every way where a mediocre Buffalo Bills team thoroughly dominated the Cowboys in all three phases of the game. Reports before the game were that Jason Garrett wouldn’t be fired until the end of the season regardless of results. That’s too bad."

Dude has fire in his belly. Great leader for the Bills!

I think if we're truthful a lot of us were a little worried that we'd crap the bed. I'm NOT going to worry about that any more, thank you Bills, for wiping that old fear away! I'm a thanksgiving birthday guy, and this was the best present I could have wished for!

Would love to just drive this ball til the clock runs out

What a game! Offense and Defense played lights out, DOMINATING a team full of talent that had it's back to the wall, in their own stadium.

If our D can hold them to no points on this drive - that will put an exclamation point on the Bills National Reveal

I think I just fell in love with Josh Allen ?

LETS GO BUFFALO!

Some days the balls bounce your way. Time for defense to show they can keep it up.

or extra points...

I hope they show him throwing a temper tantrum ?
