Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 5 minutes ago, Motorin' said: I'd tell the Chargers we were going to kneel it down too. He's a little salt in the wounds. The Raiders had to snap the ball on 3rd down with 36 seconds left. They were in shotgun. Carr wasn't going to take a freaking knee. He probably hands it off to Jacobs. Maybe he half heatedly runs into his centers butt and falls down. And maybe they never take another snap. But there was no guarantee he doesn't pickup more yardage. He gashes them all night. And there's nothing about the TO that guaranteed the Raiders were going to pickup 9 yards on the next run. This is case of senile Al Michaels not knowing that the play clock was almost at zero with the game clock under 40. He made a dumb reaction, and Collinsworth backed him up with an even dumber assertion. So it set the narrative. The Raiders were never going to pass on a fg attempt to avoid going to KC. Oh yea that could definitely be true that they were messing with them. I don’t think they would’ve attempted a fg if jacobs picked up no yards on that final play but a short gain and they probably try it still. 1 minute ago, harryS said: where? i'm seeing 4.5 across the board. at the very least, all the major most popular books are at 4.5 Maybe it was some clickbaity thing haha I did a search last night right after the night game and saw it at -5.5 somewhere…I’ll try to find it again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Would have much preferred the Chargers. Afraid this one is going to be close and the Bills have not done well in close games this year. - Both teams are top 10 in EPA for offense and defense - 1 and 2 in AFC point differential - since 2003 road dogs are 13-6 against the spread in matchups against divisional opponents. - Belichick 8-0 ATS as a road dog coming off a loss obviously trends don’t guaranty future performance but there’s a lot pointing to this being a very close game. Have to hope Allen’s experience carries the day. McDermott also can’t go conservative. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills should win if they take care of the ball and punt decently. The bills have the better QB and a really good defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It’s possible it will be a close game because its the friggin playoffs and all the teams are good. If you take the emotion out of it, which I completely understand given they owned us for 20 years, the Pats* are probably the best matchup for us. Mac is the weakest of all the AFC playoff QBs. All Buffalo has to do is play decent and not have an offensive meltdown with turnovers. Mac Jones cannot lift a team by himself and have one of those other-worldly games like Mahomes, Burrow, Hebert (yes he’s not in), Car (rarely), and even Ben is better. Their D is good on paper but we match up well. Judon didn’t do crap, Barmore is probably out, their secondary is meh. If we get any semblance of a running game, which has been clicking lately, we win handily. Now I understand the fear of listening to Pats* fans for an entire offseason if we do lose, but this isn’t the old Bills. It’s time to continue our AFC East dominance and put our stamp on the AFC as a whole. Going through The Hoodie and asswipe Pats* fans will make it all the more sweeter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Since1981 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 In NE, many said “Josh played his best game”. We don’t want to need his “best game” to win vs NE. I feel better with our recent OL play for sure and they seem willing to let Josh run. I don’t trust Bill to lose his coaching ability and have dementia this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Jones and Big ben are the 2 worst Qbs in the AFC playoffs. I like the matchup. After 8 quarters it is apparent that Buffalo is the better team. Buffalo wins by 20 imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they would’ve attempted a fg if jacobs picked up no yards on that final play but a short gain and they probably try it still. The reason LA called the TO was to put their best run D in to try to prevent a long gain. They just failed at it. After the first TO, had Jacobs gotten stuffed at the line there's no way the Chargers are calling a TO. The Raiders would have been left with an interesting choice. But the idea that that calling the TO caused the Raiders to gain 9 yards is unprovable. We will never know what the outcome of the 3rd down play would have been without the TO.

PastaJoe Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 48 minutes ago, Bob in STL said: I am quite sure having the Bills in the playoffs again is making them very happy. They don’t care much about the Sabres right now, the Sabres are years away from contending. They probably care even less about the Bandits. They’d be happier if the game was at another day or time to maximize viewing of their other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisplacedBillsFan Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Here's to hoping this is the first of many consecutive years where we have the pleasure of eliminating NE from the playoffs! I could go for 10+ years of crushing their souls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they do suck! Them’s the facts! They got humbled by the Fish yesterday and they bring that same sub standard QB to Buffalo again! The guy you absolutely did NOT want to face was that magician, Allen look alike on the Chargers! How many times did he rally them with successful and win or lose, critical, 4th. Down completions & 2 Pointers? 4th. & Goal and he fires a 22 yard TD laser? NOOOOO... the Bills didn’t want to face that guy! And for those planning the new Stadium... it’s the wind- stupid! Cold is nada! Wind is a problem, even for our magician Josh Allen! But worse, far worse for the No Name Jones loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I think we win but I’m dumbfounded that anyone thinks this will be a blow out. Josh Allen played his best game of the season against NE and that game was still a 5 point contest with less than five minutes on the clock.

Josh Allen played his best game of the season against NE and that game was still a 5 point contest with less than five minutes on the clock. There were also 2 dropped tds. Out of 8 quarters Buffalo has been in control by a good margin for 6 of them. Buffalo has seen every run play NE has. That is the crutch for their offense. Buffalo scores they win. With a balanced offense I feel the offense will be too much for Ne to handle. Jones will force some throws to stay close and Buffalos D will make him pay.

Success Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 1 hour ago, Dr. K said: It's probably a judgment on my character, but mostly what I feel about this game is dread. I think most here would admit to having some of that. But I think that's part of the reason we may have needed this match-up. This is a multi-layered demon we have w/ that team, and we're chipping away at it a little at a time. Season sweep? Check. Back to back division titles? Check. Big division-clinching win at Gillette? Check. There is still a box for "vanquish hoodied nemesis in playoffs." We check that on Saturday, and we're running out of boxes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
