The Bills also can't run the ball, and their defense stinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milanos Milano Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Going to feel like the ice bowl out there Saturday. Darn near 0 degrees. -18 at GB in 67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patzen Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 53 minutes ago, Dont Stop Billeiving said: Per Mike Sando of The Athletic: "Most wins against teams that finished above .500: 8: Titans 7: Chiefs, Bucs 6: Bills, Raiders 5: Colts, Packers, Saints, Cardinals, Cowboys, Chargers, Dolphins." Very interesting stat I hadn't seen before and with two main takeaways in my eyes: 1) The Bills tied for the third-most wins against plus .500 teams across the whole NFL...seems to conflict with the narrative that we had a cupcake schedule and never played anyone good. I'm definitely not saying it was a tough schedule, but I think the slate of opponents looked like the easiest list we had faced in years before the season started and then they wound up looking a bit stronger as the season went on. 2) No Patriots on that list despite the fact that they faced an even easier schedule than we did. I could only find five Bills wins over teams with winning records. Dolphins(x2), Pats, Chiefs, and Saints. Not trying to make a point or anything, just pointing out an inaccuracy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not at all forgot about those wanting this. Matter of fact it has literally popped in my mind each and every single day at least once since that day. Probably because it is the 1st time I ever heard of/seen a Bills fan root for a division rival (not just the Pats). Just curious if those posters feel any different? @GunnerBill I've thought about it as well. It was a losers mentality. I guess i thought we were done with that sort of behavior. I said it on here at the time and it seemed pretty simple to me. Colts beat them and we handle our business, its ours. I was annoyed by the people already packing it in when it came to the division at that point.

I’ve been in 0 degree weather. I’ve been in -20 degree weather. These guys have no clue how drastically it affects things. They need to do a walk through Friday night and catch a few bullets to get ready for Saturday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get these temps every year and you are never ready for that first cold snap, you forget how it feels. We get to bundle up and dress appropriately. Players, not so much.

Success Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Do you all think this is just how the cards fell - or did the league think it would be more memorable to have a night game in wintery Buffalo? It's really hard to tell if it helps us. It definitely would have helped against the Chargers, but it's not like NE isn't used to weather. The only advantage is that Jones is from the SEC and I doubt he has played in this kind of cold yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go into the game and we have a handful of drops, I’m going to be mad. Things like this we have to prepare for and if we hear stories of them not practicing in the extreme cold, then I guess they don’t care about strategy and preparedness. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milanos Milano Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 When Buffalo was getting that major lake effect band the other day, this team should have been at the stadium practicing in it. But I don’t even think they tried. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorin' Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Josh had great success throwing touch passes in NE bc the wind wasn't a factor. If the wind isn't a factor Sat night, I don't see why he'll need to throw lasers on every pass. Hopefully he can revert to his touch pass game and not have the cold effect drops so much if he doesn't have to throw bullets to cut through the wind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 1 hour ago, harryS said: The line HAS moved, opposite of the direction you predicted. 🙂 Sometimes explanation sounds like condescension, and like I said, maybe we should just stick to talking football. But if you or others are going to talk point spread, at least give good information. For example, why would you think the 53% vs 58% you mentioned would move the line? That difference isn't very large, but most importantly, you seem to assume that it has to be sharp action accounting for the difference. All it takes is one rich whale (for example, someone like Floyd Weather) to place a big bet and skew those numbers, especially since the difference is so small, and especially since the limits are low early in the week. Big bettors do NOT have to be sharp. Very often they are whales, especially in high-profile games like NFL playoff games. Well, those numbers have changed to 64% and 72%, so there are apparently a lot of dumb whales betting the Bills. I'm still curious as to why the line isn't moving in that direction.

The one and only single time to root for a division rival is when that rival HAS to win last game for your team to make playoffs. I mean I may be old school, but it's as natural as breathing to me lol Edited January 11, 2022 by Sheneneh Jenkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only advantage is that Jones is from the SEC and I doubt he has played in this kind of cold yet. The NFL schedule makers are jerks who don't look at the 10 day forecasts at home stadiums in the playoffs. Why else would you schedule the Bills at home, mid January at 8:15 at night, and have the Brady Buccaneers playing at 1:00 on Sunday. They always talk about player safety, but they have no concern towards the fans who wish to be in the stands for a playoff game for the first time in more than 25 years.
