JerseyBills Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I think we can continue this success for some years. We have a great core of relatively young guys and The Wizard continuing to draft well and bring in solid FAs shouldn't stop but I do agree from top to bottom we're the best team. Just gotta execute! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galept Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Best team doesn't always win and we've lost every close game (one score or less), so I wanna see us be a little more clutch. With that said, winning streaks build confidence and I'm hoping we can ride the momentum of this current streak deep into the playoffs.

Brennan Huff Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 We just need to put it altogether in the playoffs. Wouldn’t it be neat if we could run and pass the ball at will?

We need to win the Super Bowl. Based on these rankings and relative to other teams in the playoffs, Bills should be the favorites to win it all. Just as they were at the beginning of the season. I am encouraged to see changes on the OL and blocking (Doyle instead of Sweeney) and an emphasis on the run game. This will cover up for days when Allen's passing is a bit off or when the weather doesnt lend itself to an air attack. Ofcourse, they have to execute to their potential. But that is stating the obvious. 5 minutes ago, Lane Meyer K12 said: No they are not. What they are is one of a handful of teams in the playoffs.

I dunno, people tell me the Bills have "struggled against weak opponents" over the last month, only beating them by 2-3 scores and running the ball down their throats which was supposed to be our weakness. Maybe we'd be considered good like the other playoff teams if we got blown out by the Lions, Saints, Jaguars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evian Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 They are not the best team in the NFL. They are capable of winning the Superbowl if they get hot, but they are not the best team in the NFL. The best team in the NFL is Green Bay. I think the Bucs and healthy Titans are also a little better than Buffalo. But they are all so close that the team that gets hot wins it all. The Bills are perfectly capable of being that team. They are also perfectly capable of getting knocked out in the first round if they don't stop the run against the Pats. 1. Green Bay 2. Tampa Bay 3. Tennessee 4. Buffalo 5.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I started a very similar thread a couple days ago. The truth is by the metrics, this team really is the best in the NFL. And the fact that they are 0-5 in one score games just sort of helps to explain even further why they are the best team in the NFL. The bills literally go 2-3 in those games and I don’t think anyone at all is questioning if they are the best team. The fact that the bills went 0–5 in those ones score games has been the biggest anomaly of the season. But like I said in my thread, the theme of the season has been finishing. The bills couldn’t finish those five games. Now it is time to flip the script and show that those five games were an anomaly. Also, the bills are ranked number one in the league in total yardage differential. The bills hold the number one ranking in four out of the six top categories used to rank teams. And they are third and fifth in the other two. The metrics on this team are insane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 To me, it's clear the Bills CAN win it all. They are that good. But they are not clearly above other top teams. A lost anytime in these next 4 games would be sooooo disappointing, opportunities like this don't come bye easy nor often. But there's serious opposition out there. If Tennessee, KC, GB etc. beat our Bills, it would suck big time. But it wouldn't mean the Bills choked or imploded. It's just one of those hyper competitive years.

We need to win the Super Bowl. Stats are great in some ways. But within these stats, we've had some really bad games and some really good games. I guess my point is that we've had some decent volatility from these "averages". If we were consistently at these metrics, game and game, I'd feel better.

Still, the Jags loss - or any of our other losses - won't mean nada if we go on a winning streak starting right now.
