All_Pro_Bills Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) We get at least one playoff game, something only the most optimistic among us could have expected. They're playing with house money here. Let's just enjoy it and save the over-analyzing for later.

Team McBeane knows they aren't all there yet. McD practically said as much. BUT cracking the playoff wall is just plain good for the psyche of the franchise and the fans - although apparently some fans are just too scarred to realize it... And I do...... Just missing the point as you drink the Koolaid...... I've explained it before and will no longer rehash it. Just not buying the coaching yet........ The good news is I thing Jax is a fraud and hope for a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's truly and extremely odd. He ripped the organization for trading Sammy....ripped them the whole year. Now we make the playoffs and he wants to rain on everyone's parade.....because we don't have Sammy Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This coach brought us to the playoffs without Sammy Watkins....a generational talent like you think. That should be enough to convince you he's a good coach.

The Bills won the tie-breakers and we're in the playoffs with the best possible first round opponent (something I predicted btw). The point is (and I keep repeating) is that this is pretty much the same records as 2014-2016, so quit thinking this coaching staff & HO turned water into wine. What it did do was create such low expectations that some consider it a miracle. What was miraculous was winning 6 games where the opposition had the ball at the end of the game with a chance to win & the Bills winning each and every time. I am as excited as anyone that they are in the playoffs and planning my Sunday, but I am not getting ahead of myself and anointing this coaching staff as an all time great. However I am a fan and don't get stuck on the minutiae wrt to drafts, schemes and philosophy. It is quite simple for us fans. If a team is 8-8 for 3 seasons in a row, you look at it and say 2 more wins and you're in the playoffs. I look at the skill positions and how they are utilized (and yes was pissed at Watkins, the trade and not targeting him enough). I thought better coaching and tweaks to properly utilize Taylor and we'd see a huge improvement. On the defensive side, it did not take much to see that they were undisciplined, took way too many penalties, and disorganized under Rex, which could be fixed easily to the point they would be competent. So as said I will be here and cheering Sunday & hopefully beyond & will leave shortly thereafter while you argue about the draft, personnel moves & free agency. I will return when Sammy signs and when a decision is made on Tyrod. Again would we fans be so excited if they went 8-8, or 8-7-1 (as McDermott tried vs. Indy) and no playoffs. It is the Playoffs that has created this euphoria, not a record that matches those the prior 3 years...... Flame away!!!!! I thought 9-7 and playoffs was better than 8-8 and no playoffs. Did they change something?? I already took Sunday off, them slushies gotta make themselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Look at fivethirtyeight's ELO (stats geeky power rating): Bills are just a tick BETTER than Jax. These are very evenly matched teams. Being at home makes Jax a 2.5 point favorite. Neutral field? Bills would be favored by about half a point. Losing Shady (likely) will hurt a bit. But ... Blake Bortles. A very winnable game, and a great first round draw for us! Save the pessimism for Sunday night, where (even if we win) it will definitely be the proper response .... Round 2 will not be so kind to these teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigotz Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I get it if you're not excited about breaking a 17 year curse and making the playoffs.... Maybe draft picks are your thing? Oh, we somehow accumulated an extra 1st and 2nd and many late round picks. Or... maybe cap space is your thing? Oh, we unloaded our worst contract and will have a ton of space for next year. Hmm... maybe, losing is your thing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however applaud the Benjamin trade and trying to improve the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
