Sunday is the biggest game of the year

[Bring it]

This will be a hard fought contest!! Philly is desperate to steal a win that could be crucial to their season. 

If Milano is back that will help a lot! But I get the feel that this is a game that the offense needs to show up more to win. I think we will need 24+  points to win. They still have a lot of talent offensively . Given their run defense Allen needs to have a good game!!

Every week is the biggest game of the year.

Easily the second best team they have faced this season.

Yep, so far. 

 

Not saying much though with a negative 15 point differential. 171 PF -186 PA The Eagles are in disarray with a very bad secondary...provided they don't get their injured DBs back for this game. Plus they don't have WR DeSean Jackson. Seven Eagle starters DNP this week and two of them OTs. The teams the Eagles have beaten, Redskins, Packers and Jets.

 

 

On another note.  

 

Upcoming games against 3-4 Eagles, 1-7 Redskins, 0-6 Miami, 2-4 Cleveland, 2-5 Denver, 2-4 Steelers, 1-5 Jets...Bills 7-0 against these 7 teams with losing records?

 

However, the Bills play the NFC East leading Cowboys 4-3 on Turkey day, the AFC North leading 5-2 Ravens on 12/8 and the 7-0 Patriots at NE TBD.  12-4 or better a real possibility?

For sure it is possible the win 12 or more unfortunately that is probably still a wildcard spot. 

[TigerJ]

Of course it's the most important game of the year.  It's the next one.

Has that ever happened?

[Boatdrinks]

While 12-4 is definitely possible, I still think the Bills go 10-6 - securing a WC berth with a week 17 win at home vs Jets.

2000 Ravens were 2nd place team in AFC central at 12-4. 1999 Titans were 13-3 for 2nd in AFC central as well . 

[H2o]

Biggest game of the year for us........ Since the Pats game

They were both before 4 divisions though. But you only need to go back to last season for the answer....

Correct. Still qualifies as “ ever” happening. LAC most recently, as you mentioned.

Sounds about right, I was trying to find it. I don’t see the Bills winning 12, if they manage that Brady better collapse because we deserve the division. 

 

I know a lot of folks are trying to counter the media who is saying the Bills haven’t beat anyone good or anyone handily, I find it to be a fair point. They were trailing against the Bengals and Fins at home late in the game.

 

Tomorrow is a prove it game. Philly has some

internal problems and after a player’s only meeting and a record that dictates a win is necessary, they will show up. It’s the first time all season I haven’t felt a W, even against the Pats as the week went on I thought we could get one. 

 

I can’t pinpoint why, I just think a veteran team with a little motivation is dangerous when the Bills have proven to be turnover prone and sloppy during stretches. 

 

Here’s to hoping the Bills prove me wrong tommorrow and take the Eagles best punch and end up with a W. That would solidify their standing and end a lot of the questions being posed by media outlets and fans.

[LSHMEAB]

Wentz is easily the 2nd best QB we've faced and based on the fact that McDermott appears to know how to stop Brady, probably the best.

 

I'm personally pleased with the expected wind. I'm not at all sure how JA would fare in a "shootout." Greatly prefer to see him in a tight, low to mid scoring game where a TD is not critical on every possession.

The Tennessee game was bigger in my opinion.  The Titans have been in the playoffs recently and it was a conference game.  

 

 

Titans last went to the playoffs in 2017.

 

EAGLES were in the playoffs that same year.

 

PLUS the very next year (Titans did not make it in 2018) who actually went beyond the playoffs and won the Super Bowl?  ?     hint: ?

It is more advantageous to beat the Titans.  AFC record is a tie breaker and the Titans were a potential playoff contender at the time.  

[FeelingOnYouboty]

Win tomorrow and we’re definitely making the playoffs this year barring catastrophic injuries 

[ColoradoBills]

The Eagles are the next team in the way for the Bills to have a great season.

This is not the "biggest" game, it's the only game.

It is the only game, and one game at a time. We never know which Philly team will show up. The Eagles are no joke.

 I dunno about that. The Patriots play Cleveland this week and after that it could get tough for them 

 

They play @ Baltimore, @ Philly, Dallas at NE, @ Houston, KC at NE, @ Cincy, Buffalo at NE, Miami at NE

 

That looks to be a tougher schedule than Buffalo's with five teams with winning records on it and the Bills only play three. Like the Bills, the Pats have played a bunch of losing teams so far. Buffalo has a real chance to take the division 

[Locomark]

As the week progresses I keep thinking this game does mean a ton, but not to this year’s fortunes. Just mainly to the fans and the media. Fans are worried about some October collapse and the media still thinks we are overrated. A win dispels both of those.

Hmmmm I don’t agree. NFC games are the least important. 

This and the Cowboy game aren’t that important. The Giants and Redskins’ games are important in the sense that a playoff team can’t lose to those teams. They have to stack wins vs. weak opponents.

Of those I see Baltimore giving them trouble. And Houston has the players to but seems to have a mental block against the Pats (not unlike our own). They will win the other games. KC and Philly don't have the defenses to keep it close. Dallas maybe does but in New England? Pats win. 

[LABILLBACKER]

Tomorrow's game plan has to involve heavy passing. That is the weakness of the eagles defense. We must protect Josh especially on 3rd down blitzes. They give up 270 yards/ game in the air. The running game will be limited but we should run misdirection. We'll need 1 td from either our defense or ST. This will be a close game....

Not sure about that with the forecast calling for 26mph winds at kick off. 

[No_Matter_What]

If we are talking playoffs, this game is basically a freeroll for us - it is NFC opponent and we have still plenty of games ahead us which we should win and which should get us in, provided that we beat Browns, and maybe even without that.

 

But if we are talking division, which I would like to, then we just have to win this one.

I dunno, I get this feeling that father time will finally catch up with Brady near the end of this season or perhaps an injury. I can see all five of those teams giving the Patriots trouble and perhaps even Miami. 

 

I can dream can't I?

Bills lost the biggest game of the year. This game should be an easy win for a team like this.

Patriots have never had it "tough" stop acting like it all the sudden is a thing for them.

Don't count those as wins yet.  As we have seen, Bills play down to level of competition.
