Even if you say 4-3 because today was meaningless, that’s pretty disappointing to see Maybe. But I’ll take 6-2 away because that’s where we will be playing in the playoffs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the fact that Miami was 5 and 11, make them unable to beat NE when they desperately needed the game Did their victory over Dallas on Thanksgiving on the road or Pittsburgh on national TV mean they didn't need to play pilayoff worthy football to get where they are? I know Bills fans are glass half empty mostly, but this team deserves to play next week.

The 'signature' wins came against 8-8 teams in the Cowboys and Steelers. We finished 4-4 at HOME. WHAT - ME WORRY? Are you the same dude as the idiot named Aaron who called the post game show to say how Barkley really came on as the game progressed and asked if he showed enough to come into camp to compete for the starters job? Because i kid you not, that was a call. As was a guy who actually took time out of his day to wait on hold to ask-get this- why there wasnt a penalty for the Jets players celebrating on the field for Barkleys fumble (which was called a fumble on the field) and wanted the refs to retroactively call a penalty for the celebration once it was deemed an incomplete pass. Now granted, its my fault for listening and to be fair its not like a show that takes callers is going to be super high end - but good grief! These are actual living, breathing people who CLAIM to be fans of this team.... and they may be, but they obviously arent embarrassed so ill just be embarrassed for them. Surely the Pats bandwagon can fit a few more tools on board... I, foolishly thought 6 pts would be enough to silence the small crowd of fans who dont understand the concept of a FQB and think Barkley will magically lift the O to 35 point games BUT that was actly the 2nd call on that subject... the 1st rightfully was hung up on;) Edited December 30, 2019 by gobills1212 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many, many other teams failed to do exactly that. Nothing to worry about, as the Bills have a playoff game next week ! Lots of teams fans have turned their thoughts to the offseason and the draft. They also earned said playoff spot after 15 games. Raise your hand if you expected that back in August. Beuller? Beuller? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The team they play this week is on par with Tennessee, Dallas and Pittsburgh. Sure, the Bills haven’t beaten an elite team yet, but we’ll worry about that next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I have been more in the corner of the OP as far as coming back to earth on this team, but even within that, this isn't as black and white as I felt earlier in the season. Early in the season you could make a pretty good argument for us being overrated against our record. Pretty much all of the advanced data showed as much. As the season progressed we played much better and the advanced data shows that as well. So while I have been bearish on the Bills most the year, I'm bullish in the sense that we can A) steal a game from anybody in the league this year B) expect more progression next year. This is a bright future ahead of us, as good as it's looked since the early 90's. I will even give it a +1 against the Flutie era playoff teams and those teams were no joke. The year we lost MCM, we very well could have went to the Super Bowl. That was one of the best defenses in Bills history.

Johnson and Flutie vs Allen (Forward Outlook). Allen all day. As far as that defense, well, we saw what happened. That was the latest best window we had. I see the next 3-5 years giving us a better windows than those teams. Especially when you consider we haven't laid it on with spending, YET.
