ChanOverChin Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Did anybody really think the Bills were going to beat the Raiders in Oakland.............without the services of TE Clay, WR Woods, WR Harvin, CB Darby............and with WR Watkins still not 100%?? The point is that there are four games left.........three at home.............and the Bills STILL have a chance to make the playoffs. Beating Pittsburgh will be their toughest task, although maybe not as tough as having to beat Oakland on the road. I happen to think that if the Bills can beat Pitt that they could run the table as they face winless Cleveland at home, a weakened Miami at home, and a Petty-led NYJ team away that looks like they have packed it in for the winter. Have a lil faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Nothing that the team has showed me in the past 3 weeks tell me they can beat Pitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Beforehand, did I think they would do it? Probably not, given the circumstances. A few minutes in the 2nd half, you're damn right I did. The collapse is the thing that's bugging me, not the defeat itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottaRun Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm staying in the 'we have a chance camp' until Sunday. After Sunday I'm facing the prospect of no Bills games with Bills playoff implications until Sept 2017. Let me hang onto the dream for 6 more days.

The collapse is the thing that's bugging me, not the defeat itself. agree completely with this. probably the most alarming thing I saw was the absolute lack of hurry up urgency at the 8:00 mark. why were they not instructed to run a hurry up offense? are they not capable of running it? if so, why not? they basically seemed to give up without making a decent effort. piss poor.

It felt like they collectively realized they would have to play another game if they made the playoffs then each individual unit made sure that wouldn't happen.

BuffaloFan68 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 My prediction is that Tyrod will not finish the Steelers game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Nothing that the team has showed me in the past 3 weeks tell me they can beat Pitt. Sad but true. And nothing the Steelers have shown in the past month would suggest they're vulnerable to an upset. It really amounts to the hope that the Steelers - right now, clearly a better team - throw up a clunker on the road, or that Ben somehow gets knocked out early. Either/both of which could happen, just not likely to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben in 2016 Home: 68.5% pass, 8 YPA, 311 YPG Road: 59.8% pass, 6.4 YPA, 218 YPG Edited December 6, 2016 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a lil faith. They can beat Pittsburgh, and they can also lose to Cleveland. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if that's exactly what they do.

The Big Cat Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Fans acting like a second half lead against Oakland means anything in 2016. It's easy to tell the posters who watch other teams and those that don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F'ing wildcat has to go. Never liked it + the timing of when to use it was even worse. Edited December 6, 2016 by qwksilver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDogg20 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I didnt think we were going to win that game...until we were up 24-9. Then I thought hey we might actually pull this one out. I dont think people are so mad about the loss as much as people are pissed about the fashion in which we lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
