"It wasn't that we weren't trying to make plays....we were definitely trying and sometimes the ball didn't bounce our way"

"What are they, 9 and 5 now?  They're a solid defense and they're a good team" (he's trying to give us credit but Man, does he sound Lukewarm..lacking in graciousness and overall comes across to me as kind of clueless) 

 

[He does take some responsibility, say stuff like I didn't execute and I need to play better but overall....well, judge for yourselves]

 

Compare and contrast with Tomlin, who shoots straight and gives us props.  Asked what was supposed to happen on the backend when we scored our go-ahead TD: "They made a Quality play...I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge that they executed in that instance...AND OTHERS " (said that last as though it hurt).  Says what led to the turnovers was "quality execution by those guys".  Says we have a really good defense, "we knew that, they confirmed it."

Tomlin gave the bills more credit in a 3 minute presser than the media did all week and leading up into finally winning.

I'm thankful we did not play against a healthy Big Ben with AB and Bell . We are over due for a break to say the least.

Well free agency happens every year... and the bills have basically shut out every qb they’ve played this season.... 

 

but whatever I guess.

It's a ***** situation for Tomlin but he's clearly doing the best he can with what he's got so his job is safe and maybe this year they'll look at getting someone to come up behind Big Ben(that'd be an ironic twist).

I agree, 

 

It would be in the Steelers best interest to start looking for Big Bens replacement IMO. Tua perhaps

We are in the playoffs!

 

Yes, it was an ugly win. Who cares?!

 

This team believes in itself, and what the coaching staff is preaching, and they are not finished nor are they satisfied with where they are at. The Bills are going to continue to fight and reach their main goal.

 

What a great feeling this is. Making the playoffs with still more time to go in the regular season.

 

At the start of the year, I thought this team had the capability of making the playoffs, but seeing it come to fruition has been incredible.

 

GO BILLS!!!

Top Takeaways from Sunday's Week 15 NFL action

Bills clinch rare playoff spot

"We have to give Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott a ton of credit. He entered the season on the hot seat and has helped navigate his team to legit playoff contention."

 

Repeating a terrible narrative does not make it true.

I am a typical pessimistic Bills fan having watched them from their inception (oh god 70 yrs old - where did the time go - was a 13 year old with those end zone passes where you got to stand in that space behind the goal end line  in the old war memorial for the Chargers championship game). I will admit I didn't think they would beat Pitt at home but that victory got me so juiced I couldn't sleep....I think these guys in spite of that "weirdly wait until the fourth quarter to show up offense" can do some damage in the playoffs.

Absolutely! Right or wrong, a lot of people were dreading this stretch...Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and New England*. The Bills have weathered the storm nicely and are coming together/peaking at the right time and the D has turned it up a notch. Earliest playoff clinch since 1991...let that sink in everyone. Many on this board have never gotten the pleasure of experiencing that until now. Enjoy it...hopefully, this is the start of the new normal. Although they lost to the Ravens, that was the first time in a long time that I actually started looking forward to playing the Cheats* again. It's payback time on the national stage again, boys and girls. Let's finish off this revenge tour in style and head for bigger and better things in January!

 

GO BILLS!!!

Great win, glad they won....but let's be honest, they only won because Pitt had a 4th stringer at QB. Most of the time, the Duck was just throwin' them up, and hoping his guy came down with it.

Ok, to be honest.  Duck won three NFL games in a row before playing our defense. 

 

We won because we were better.

It’s forgotten now, and it ended up not hurting us, but what about that phantom facemask penalty called on Milano (or was it Edmunds?)?  Maybe the worst call I’ve ever seen—and that’s saying a lot.

I'm tired of waiting till the 4th qtr for this offense to show up. This is not sustainable.
