As the evil one says, just do your jobs I'd like to see the O-line have another dominant game to show consistency with the playoffs around the corner. Will also be interesting to see how they use McKenzie and Cole when they're both available. Agreed. It is very important to play our best football now and trend up. I want to see the same energy and execution the next two weeks. Need to build. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 The Falcons suck. Look at their schedule. They barely beat the garbage teams, I mean the worst of the worst teams, and get blown out by every decent team they face. I know, the Jags. It was a bad loss. Get over it. This is a game we should win by 3+ scores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically Matty Ice has been great, but he is a shell of his former self imo. Maybe it contributes to lack of weapons, or aging, but he seems like a dead man walking. wouldn’t be surprised to see them more on from him this off season They had Mike Davis as their lead back to start the year. Struck gold with Patterson playing well as a duel threat runner/receiver. Their rookie TE Pitts was just starting to find his footing when Ridley walked away from the game. The result is this. Because Ridley left there is no outside threat at WR. A couple guys that would be #2 or 3 receivers. Teams bracket cover Pitts, take him basically out. It's led to them overusing Patterson and his plays becoming predictable. His body is also looking worn out at this point in the season. He's good for a short TD run a game at this point. Ryan has lost a step or 2 but is still a solid and consistent starter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While nothing is official I would say yesterday's win pretty much guarantees the Bills will be in the playoffs. They still have work to do but a lot would have to go wrong for them to miss at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Falcons by Football Outsiders metrics are the worst team in the NFL and by far the worst 7 win team of all time. That being said, the Bills need to step on them early and hard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearNorth Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Weather is iffy, supposed to be rain/snow in the AM, then temps dropping through the 30's during the game, hopefully the field will not be a skating rink. I think Milano/Neal can manage to keep Pitts under wraps. Pats TE's didn't hurt us. Ryan has taken 11 sacks in his past 4 games. This will be the Lee Smith homecoming game, hopefully he's good for a couple of holding calls during the game.

zow2 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Bills have proven to be solid in the revenge games and when McDermott gets ramped up. This Atlanta game is ripe for a letdown so it's on the coaches and players to treat the Falcons as if they are the Patriots. Easier said than done. Plus Atlanta has some hope as their playoffs chances are still alive. They won't be laying down for Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 This Bills team will not falter, imo. I can't help but think of times like the Pitt game during the drought, when all we had to do was beat their back-ups to secure a WC spot and we couldn't. This just isn't that team or even franchise anymore. For starters, they have the ultimate "refuse to lose" guy in Allen. But beyond that, I think everyone knows the stakes and potential pitfalls. This is where that loss to the Jags might serve the team well. They have a chance to secure the division with 2 home games left. Everyone knows it, and I just can't see this team letting up or allowing themselves to give anything but their best to get it done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen demonstrated he could throw and throw accurately in a wind storm…. It’s up to the coaching staff to put the ball in his hands regardless of the conditions. Allen and the Bills will also be playing 5th lousy weather game out of the last 6. Yesterday's weather in NE wasn't horrible but it wasn't good. You gotta think they're acclimated to it at at this point, and certainly more than the Falcons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat us. it will continue to be all on the OL. We go as they go. Anyone can beat us if the OL plays like it did vs jax. That said, I don’t think we’ll see them play that bad again this season. It would’ve been nice if the falcons lost yesterday, but they’re in the hunt for that final spot. We better come to play. If we do, we’ll blow Them out. If we HC/OCDC put together bad game plans, watch out. Everyone needs to do their job on a weekly basis One of the best things that will come out of winning the division if we can close it out is we can finally put that game to bed. At that point it won't matter as much anymore. It's still really hard to fathom that we lost that game and I would've hated if it ended up affecting the season.

Don’t be fooled by the 7-8 record. Their wins: Jets, Giants, Jags, Lions, Saints, Dolphins (early in the year), and Panthers (with whom they split). They have a -122 point differential. What should we worry about? Patterson as a RB has been good. Otherwise? Meh. Buckle down and take care of business, Buffalo. Come on Bills! Let's do this!!! You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
