Hermes Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Simple premise here guys. If not for once in a decade(?) type weather and the officials' blatant disregard for the rules of the game, the Buffalo Bills would be on a five game win streak headed into the final 2 games of the season. That's obviously not how it has played out and the bills have only won the last two games(in decisive fashion I might add) The two teams they lost to were, at the time, among the hottest teams in the league; one with a hall of fame coach and the other a hall of fame Quarterback and some might even say the GOATS. Yet the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen were within inches of walking away with a win in each contest. Speaking of Josh Allen, does this kid have the Patriots number or what!? After yesterday's game he joined elite company (Peyton Manning?) in scoring three passing TDs in multiple games against New England in Foxborough. Also the Allen led Bills are the only team who has ever posted a game with Zero! punts against a Belichek coached team or defense in the NFL. So to say the Bills are fizzling out, or they peaked too early is flat out wrong. This iteration of the Bills are primed and ready for some playoff football! So to all the 'realist' out there who expected a Bills loss in Foxborough, get real! You're just pessimists in sheep's clothing. Why don't you just join another fanbase of your just going to cry every week! 2 2 5 1 2 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I'd say Kansas City is by far the hottest team. They are destroying some teams and have solid wins over Green Bay, Dallas, and San Diego. They took the dead corpse of Pittsburgh and hammered them without their second best player on the field. This week they take on Cinci and it should be a good playoff type atmosphere game. AFC Championship will run through KC again Agree with others I would love to beat the dolphins for a third time in week 1 of the playoffs 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the Bills won the two games mentioned they'd be considered by most as the team to beat in the AFC, again, they didn't, so the narrative is different. They'd literally have the same record as the chiefs with a H2H win against them meaning #1 seed in the AFC. Granted they lost both games in such dreadful fashion that most here hardly consider them a playoff team. So take from it what you will.

Taro Nimbus Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The Bills win two games in a row and they are the hottest team?

I highly doubt a game against them plays out the same as it did last time, everything went right for the Colts from the first snap and being a midseason game the Bills packed it in at the half. Another team who has given them trouble is the Titans. I'd honestly rather the Bills play the Chiefs than either of those two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCockSportif Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Great victory yesterday, but two more are needed to get a handle on where this season is going to land.

BADOLBILZ Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The Bills haven't really put together a great game on both sides of the ball in some time. The offense was great yesterday but the defense gave up five 4th down conversions and yielded some very long drives and 3 TD's to a pretty punchless Patriots offense. Lot's of room for improvement there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they've played great in this one and against the Chiefs earlier this year but it still feels like they have so much more in the tank.

My apologies for injecting some optimism into the aether.

I get it and admittedly the Bills probably aren't the hottest team in the league. If I had to name one, it would probably be KC, Colts, Rams, or GB. There's still two weeks to go and the Bills could turn it on and look like world beaters, or worse, they could lose out and squeak into the postseason or miss it all together. While looking at the Bills objectively I'd prefer to stand on the positive side of things and make points to that regard. It's like you said all teams have flaws and to cast them aside because they afflict your favorite team is to wear the proverbial rose colored glasses.

Nelius Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Dolphins lol, try harder contrarians. Tua is maybe 1/5th of Josh Allen and will not ever get close to a ring, get real. I can entertain the Colts or even the Bengals, but not the Fins barely getting by the Jets, Giants, and the Ian Book led Saints - quite possibly the three all around worst teams in the league right now outside of Jacksonville.

As long as the Bills take care of business here they're gonna head into the playoffs with a ton of confidence, essentially winning 4 playoff games in a row to get to that point. Fingers crossed they finish the job the next two weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
