SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 https://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/304409/playoff-bound-bills-showing-the-grit-and-formula-to-win-in-playoffs Playoff-bound Bills showing the grit and formula to win in January ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills clinched their second playoff berth of this millennium and fourth 10-win season in the past 20 years by winning in playoff atmospheres. The Week 15 win-and-you're-in road test against the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6) had all the fixings of a postseason matchup and was the Bills' second nationally televised game in three weeks. They passed the test and hope it's a preview of what's to come. "This is what playoff football is about -- which defense is going to break," Bills defensive tackle Jordan Phillips said after the 17-10 win against the Steelers. Buffalo's defense ranks No. 3 behind those of the Patriots and 49ers in yards allowed per game (291.9) and No. 2 behind the Patriots' in points allowed (15.9) heading into Saturday's matchup. New England owns the tiebreaker with Buffalo based on their records against common opponents, so the Patriots can capture their 11th straight AFC East title by winning Saturday or in Week 17 at home against Miami (3-11). Bills coach Sean McDermott, in his third year with the team, said he hopes there is a new standard in place for the franchise -- a standard that begins by not dwelling on any achievement. cont'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our whole season depends on it. If we don't win then we haven't done anything but prove we're the same old Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to get the damn monkey off of their backs (at least in the regular season) make them need to play their starters next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the game is important for a number of reasons. But it seems every week (although I haven't seen it this week), some one chimes in.... This is the most important game of the season! That started in week one. So i was just having some fun and making sure we all see it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 In the grand scheme of things................. this game really doesn't mean much at all because we all know the Bills are basically stuck in the number 5 position. But, WE ALL KNOW, you, me, the players, the coaches, everyone ever associated with the Bills ARE TIRED of losing to the Patriots. This obviously the best Bills team that Brady and BB have ever seen, but they still beat the Bills in week four, thanks MAINLY to a blocked punt and Allen being a dope for 2+ quarters. For all that I just mentioned, this game is critically important, even though it has ZERO AFFECT in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't win then we haven't done anything but prove we're the same old Bills. I know there's a layer of sarcasm in your comments, but I've been completely irrational this year feeling like every week of the season is the most important game of the year. I know that I felt it Week 1 against the Jets, Week 5 against the Titans, on Thanksgiving in Dallas and this week in Pittsburgh. It's fun watching meaningful football again after what feels like 20 years of exhibition games. We are likely locked into the number 5 seed, so our playoff spot isn't moving unless we beat the Pats* and get some help from Fitzmagic. I would much rather lose this game and outlast the Patriots* in the playoffs than the other way around. However, we are all ready to knock off the Patriots and own the AFC East. To walk into the Razor and walk out with a hard-fought W puts an exclamation point on the statement that the Bills are for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To walk into the Razor and walk out with a hard-fought W puts an exclamation point on the statement that the Bills are for real. I absolutely agree with you. My only, albiet sarcastic, point is that people always say ..this is the most important game. But the reality is they're..all..important. And to the posters comment that I repsonded to... I think its a game we could win. Not that we should, but could. And hopefully will. If this season has done anything.. Its proven to me that the Bills can play with and beat any team... Even the team in foxboro. That.. Is a tremendous feat considering the past decades. Yes, beating the snot out of this sniveling bunch of panszies would be awesome on so many levels. I want nothing more this weekend than to see that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put pressure on them to beat the fish. Who knows maybe the Dolphins pull off an upset but I do expect the Bills to play on WC weekend against the Texans most likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facilities are world class, and will be a HUGE selling point...moreover, it'll be a great indicator to the organization of whether or not players place a premium on taking care of their bodies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
