auburnbillsbacker Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 This has been one of the most unusual seasons I have ever watched. Every time a team ascends to the top they come crashing down. At one point the Chiefs were the best team then they started to suck. Same with the Rams. Same with the Bills. Same with the Bucs Same with the Titans. Cardinals, etc. The way I see it, any team that makes the playoff has a shot of winning the Super Bowl. You just have to run hot and be on the right side of variance. 7 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 They are, but the things that make us “awful” are areas that can exposed by those other team’s strengths. You’re correct, many average teams, but there’s too many teams we don’t match up with well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 There is not a single elite team IMO. This is what parity looks like. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I don't remember another year with this many big upsets against the top teams. Teams that can force turnovers and run the ball have a chance to beat anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigduke6 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 pretty much, no dominant teams atm, games being decided by inconsistent reffing and fluke plays. makes me wonder if this is something the NFL truly wants, nothing gets the gamblers salivating like parity and inconsistency.

Rc2catch Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 It’s a trendy league. More so than ever this year. We are not the same team from last season. But I’m not quite ready to throw in the towel. I’ve said before I can handle the struggles now if some of this is fixed in enough time to make a playoff push. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 One thing that happened this year that wasn't planned for and has never happened prior or at least other than a slight amount if ever, the salary cap decreasing. Could be that it's caused all teams to have to scramble to fill out the roster and they were OK to start the year, but once a couple injuries happen and you're down to subs, everything falls apart? Add on top of that a couple players being out for Covid on top of that. Not saying this is the reason, but does add some uniqueness to season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 5 minutes ago, RunJoshRun said: Agreed. But, if one team has a limited O-Line and terrible DT's it will be difficult. We've only spent 35 million on the DL. 1 minute ago, Rc2catch said: It’s a trendy league. More so than ever this year. We are not the same team from last season.

I'm not sure if calendars work the same way in all places, but there's only 7 more games left. And we're the 6th seed currently. Our playoff push needs to be now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshAllin Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Yeah, at this point would you rather the bills go undefeated and lose in the playoffs or the bills sneak in and make it deep in the playoffs vs this afc bunch. This is looking wacky is what I'm saying Edited November 21, 2021 by motorj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for Josh. Each week he has players missing. You can’t be successful in that scenario. It wouldn’t surprise me if he starts lashing out against coaches soon, and demands a trade if it continues. Maybe Buffalo wasn’t the right place for him after all. 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Teams are evenly matched and there is no clear favorite. It makes things much more interesting. 6 minutes ago, Governor said: Today was the nail in the coffin. I feel bad for Josh. Each week he has players missing. You can’t be successful in that scenario. It wouldn’t surprise me if he starts lashing out against coaches soon, and demands a trade if it continues. Maybe Buffalo wasn’t the right place for him after all. this is some creative thinking. To me it seems he is playing poorly. No need to blame everyone else. Obviously the OL isn’t helping but his decision making is suspect.

I know my take probably isn’t popular, but with 17 games this season I expect a little more separation by the end of season. I think we’ll have a better idea where teams stand when the playoffs begin. The teams who are legitimate are going to start getting hot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
