The Jags have the weight of expectations on their shoulders. Our secondary can really make an impact Sunday, just need the offense to put up some points.

We can beat Jax, let's enjoy the week and have some fun on sunday. I'm pumped. Agree 100%. After years of terrible luck, we caught some breaks. Now we get to play a playoff game against Blake Bortles. That's pretty awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Sports tend to even themselves out. I didn’t read the article but the Bills had a massive point differential last year going into week 17. They also had Rex. This year they’ve managed to protect leads and win the games that they should. I’m not apologizing for the playoff berth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, watch Marrone not throw the ball once. Bortles combined with our secondary is the biggest reason why Jacksonville can lose this game.

I assume you've seen this offense in action this year? So looking at the bolded words above, and acknowledging that many people think that Jax has one of the best defenses in the league this year, do you see a problem here? Look, like everyone else, I hope to heck the Bills use some smoke & mirrors and somehow pull off a Win, but the national "experts" are all on the same page for good reasons.

Rob's House Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) The numbers are skewed by 2 bad games, one of which we took a chance and started a rookie instead of our starting QB. Between the Saints and Chargers we were -67 points. I'd add that the 2 Patriots games were a lot closer than the final scores would indicate. Of course, the Jets game was not nearly as close as the score indicated, so ... In any case, the Jauron teams were good at consistently losing close games, and Fitz would always bring us back only to consistently turn the ball over at the end. If you look at this team overall throughout the season, they're clearly better than all but 2 or 3 Bills teams this century.

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Maybe, but we are apparently coached better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The Bills don't have a ton of talent on offense or defense. But they do play with grit and determination. If 538's computer picked the Bills to win 6 games, it only means their computer is wrong. They didn't input the data that really matters. They didn't write the right algorithms.

Derelichte Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Crazier things have happened.. if those American boys beat the Soviets in 1980 up north in Placid, then the Bills can beat the Jags this Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I long ago stopped watching pre-game shows and talking head "experts." I think that many posters in here have just as much, and some even more, insight/knowledge about Bills football. I was simply commenting on somebody else's post in this thread as to why the national media think the way they do about this game. It might be called "an educated guess"; sort of like what the bookmakers in Vegas do. But you're right, the most important thing that affects the outcome of a game is the performances on the field of the players (and to a lesser extent, as we all know, the officials). That's why they play the game. HELLO! You play to win the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Who gives a **** if we were outscored on the season? Things are determined via your record. Losing 100-0 or 3-0, it's still a loss. We had two games that reall stood out as being awful (Saints and Chargers) and we played a bunch of close games. I really hate all these new stats and formulas that people are making up to manipulate perception. Saying this is the worst team out of teams that went 3-13, 4-12 etc. etc. is just non sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Statistically both the offense and defense are worst than last years team. The offense much more worse than last years squad. Yet this year we win two more games and make the playoffs. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not based on anything. Even the most casual fan could tell you there were plenty of awful teams during the drought. Much worse than this one.
