section122 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I tried to keep it cool. I tried not to get wrapped up in playoff hopefulness. I tried to remain a "realist." I tried to stay away from buying in. I can't. I'm a homer through and through. Sitting at work sipping kool-aid on this fine Friday before Christmas and it's delicious! Screw all the negative Nancies! For the first time in 13 years we have a legitimate shot at the playoffs in week 16. The Bills will beat the Patriots this Sunday. This is the game we will look back on as when the Bills finally overcame the patriot hump. This is the game where Brady's magic runs out. This is the game where we take control of our own destiny. This is the game where we all get back on board with the process. This is the game where the Bills finally win a game that matters. This is the game where we all get a Merry Christmas. This is the game. Go Bills! !@#$ the Patriots! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I also think we have a good shot. I think, most of all, this will be the ultimate test for our coaching staff. Where in the past we have always been grossly out-coached by the hoodie. McCoach and crew had a pretty good game plan for Brady last time. We just couldn’t move the ball. Let’s hope we can get it done this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My disdain for #5, however, is real and I can't wait for the Bills to turn that blank page. But one player does not make a team. As much of a no-brainer that is that the Bills will get their asses handed to them on Sunday, I'm still going in thinking we've got a real chance to win.

I'm Spartacus Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Something has to give. The "breaks", the "ref gimmies", the "luck", the "history", "the hoodie"....

Agreed I was really impressed with the defensive game plan in the first go round. If the offense could have held up their end the Bills had a very good shot at winning. Brady has looked very human the last 3 games as well. It all comes down to shutting down gronk. Do that and Brady gets shut down. 1 minute ago, Gugny said: Same here.

The bolded could have gone in my op. I know it doesn't make sense I just can't fight my hopefulness lol. It struck me last night while I was playing poker.

buffalobloodfloridahome Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Brady has not looked the same during this Achilles injury, not as much zip on the ball. I also think we have a shot. We only gave up 23 points last time and our (awefense) was terrible. Their defense has been playing better as of late after being considered the worst in the league for most of the year. No Rex Burkhead. Why not we have as good a shot now as ever especially if Gaines plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 8-6 heading into week 16 3 years ago. we were but the Steelers and Ravens were leading the wild card at 9-5. Then there were the Chiefs and Chargers at 8-6. We had a shot but were at the bottom of "other contenders." I'll give it to you though. I blacked that year out. That loss to the Raiders was BRUTAL.

JinxedBill1 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I'm 33. The last time the bills were relevant like this was when they lost to the Steelers back in I think 06. I for for one am glad to be in the convo, and not like other years where 70 different scenarios have to play out. I like the direction of the team. Got get a QB this offseason and we can compete even more. Even if if we miss out on the playoffs, which I think we will due to the Chargers, I'm glad we were competing till the end. For some of us who never really knew that before it's a nice thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some of us who never really knew that before it's a nice thing. Agreed. There have been some decisions that I didn't like (trading Sammy, starting Peterman, trading Dareus, punt in ot) but it is hard for me to argue results. McDermott has them in legitimate position to make the playoffs. Preseason I don't know that even the most hopeful of us thought that was possible. Especially after the horrible 3 game skid. They have draft capital and are in a good cap situation. The future is looking up for the Bills for once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Be a homer. Don't be shy about it. Why be "realistic" about a bunch of glandular anomalies in Halloween costumes knocking the snot out of each other? It is a bizarre spectacle of little meaning, except the meaning we attach to it because it reminds us of home. Embrace that illogic. Save realism for real topics. Be. A. Homer. Go Bills! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haslett_Stomp Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I'm heading up to Patriot-land on Sunday for the traditional Christmas Eve with the in-laws and will be fully outfitted in Bills gear. Unfortunately, I don't have a sweater like that Raiders fan in the commercial for the NFL Shop. GO BILLS!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH063 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I still refuse to get all worked up and excited. I'm hopeful but I also know all too well what it feels like to watch playoff football without the Bills being in the tournament so I'm cautiously optimistic about the playoff's but excited about the future because it really feels different than in past years.
