 Not sure this is as tough a game as some make it.  Jackson is playing well.  Know who else is:  our DL and LBs.  

 

Who has a worse secondary than our injured one: Balt.  We have a great passing offense.  

 

We should score a bunch of points and make a few stops and win by 10-14

I expect to win 37-24 tomorrow

This is an entire thread dedicated to how we will feel IF we lose!

😂😂😂 We already know you were missing that losing feeling!  I’ll def be annoyed if we lose, probably looking for an excuse like injuries or weather.

Hey… i wish to know what would be your thoughts in case tomorrow we will lose again.

 

I know i would be really sad being 2-2 with to losses in a row, but playing in Baltimore with all the injuries we have and with Lamar playing so good, it’s something very possible. 
 

That wouldn’t change my opinion about how strong we are as a team and that when all healthy again we could win every single game till the end of the season, but i know i would be down till Tuesday or Wednesday waiting for the next one vs the Steeler. 
 

What about you ? 
 

ps. one aspect that could be very important is if we could run better… gaining from 100 to 150 yards on the ground could increase our chance of 15/20% 

It wouldn’t be a huge deal…our schedule is very front loaded and 3 of the first 4 games were on the road.  We could still fairly easily go 11-2 down the stretch. 
 

injuries are less of an excuse against baltimore though because they have a bunch of em too

I'd be ok because I don't see anyone in our division running away with it. 

 

It may put a damper on my thoughts winning the 1 seed.

I still think we’d have a decent shot at it even if we lose…only team id really worry about is baltimore. Baltimore has had a fairly easy schedule so far though and we’re gotten through a majority of our tough games after Sunday with really just GB and KC to go. 

[Nextmanup]

One thing to consider is what is going to happen to Tua.  That is still very much undetermined.

 

Everything I read says he should, for sure, not return this season.

 

Will he be back this week?  Take a month off?  Lose 8 games?  

 

If he is gone, so are the Fish...and then we can continue to struggle a little through the tough schedule and still be fine for the division title down the road.

The Bills win the division by multiple games even if Tua plays every game the rest of the season. 

 

One close loss in week 3 under unreal circumstances/conditions and people forget this is the best team in the league with the best QB in the league.

 

Assuming Tua starts next time we play them, the Bills will be favored by 10, and will win by 20.

Putting a damper on your thoughts of winning the 1 seed should be a big deal.  
 

Outside of whoever plays the AFC South winner, any AFC team playing on WC Weekend is likely playing a tough game. 
 

Nevermind the hope that we stop playing KC at Arrowhead if we see them again.

Other than the Packers, who play us at home, is there any team in the final eleven games that scares you?

That is far from certain at this point.  I get that we are a better team; we are also already behind in the race for the division, and Miami is going to win 10 or 11 games this year, if Tua plays and is OK.

 

If we lose tomorrow, Tua plays, Miami wins, people around here will start rethink things a little bit.

We will not lose tomorrow. Not going to happen. Have some confidence!

And they’d be premature for doing so.  It’s way to early in the season to panic or be too impressed.  What happens here is typically an over reaction as we all know. 

[Big Blitz]

I want to be 4-2 at the bye at worst and call it a major win if we are considering the injuries and 4 of 6 road games to start.  

[Scott7975]

I dont really think like that.  I just enjoy the season and each game we play.  If we lose we lose.  It would suck.  Still a long schedule remaining.  Team needs to get healthier and keep on playing their best football.

[TBBills]

It just sucks b.c I stop listening to sports news for the first few days.

I don't mind if we lose. I just don't want to hear any excuses.  I could care less about injuries and weather.  Every team deals with both of those problems. 

 

The Bills need to win these games though.  It is a lot easier to win a Super Bowl when you get the #1 seed.

Yes we did, all day long. We couldn't score TD's once in the red zone. Thay was the difference between a two point loss and a two score blowout. 

They dumped the ball off underneath all day long.  The offense was a big play offense through the first 2 games, averaged less than 6 per pass attempt Sunday.

Are you f’ing kidding me? Half of the offense was out and had players that did not know the playbook and you want to blame JA. He still gained 497 yards of offense with a center who could not snap the ball. Just go away if that is really your take.

Nah bruh, not effing kidding you. It’s my opinion. Players didn’t know the playbook!?! You’re joking right?!? Tell you what though, I’ll leave when you go eff yourself. Deal?!?

With 500 yards of offense and 5 red zone trips, I'd think the Bills would take that any given Sunday. Especially when they dominated time of possession and kept the other team to 200 yards of offense.

All to score 17 points and lose the game.  I don't know of any team that would take that, ever.

The failure was the Bills Red Zone offense. Not the inability to solve Miami's Cover 2. 

 

They dominated the Cover 2 all day. 

 

They couldn't put it into the end zone when they got to the door step.

 

And yes, the Bills would take 5 red zone trips to 3 red zone trips any day.

The first 2 games they were able to hit big explosive plays for scored.  Miami made them drive the length of the field and punch it in, the Bills may have been exposed there.  They didn't beat Miami's defense after the first half.

The Bills were exposed. If you can get them to the point of heat exhaustion and make them play with half of their staters out of the game you will have a good shot of beating them.

It's yet to be seen, take away the deep shots and see if they can drive the field and punch it in.  They can't run the ball at all.  Time will tell.  Hope not, but I don't feel as good about them as I did before that game.

The game itself tells me very little about the Bills season. What is going it be telling is how healthy they can get later in the year when it matters most.

Scheme translates, until they show me they can beat it I'll be worried about future match ups against the top teams like the Chiefs, Ravens, etc.

Oh I'm sure you'll find reasons to worry. I'm not sure why, but expending energy on expressing worry is a fan favorite.

Aww need a tissue? It is a bad take brah! Watch the replay of the game and tell me when JA is slowing down because he is trying to tell rookie RB and PS center who to block and what routes to run. Sure though, the guy who leads a team to 497 yards with back up players was at fault, LMAO! Does your mom know you are on the computer?

I rewatched the game, and to my eyes, Allen’s throws had lost some velocity. I’d like to know the extent, of his hand injury.

Hopefully healed up for this week.

If we lose tomorrow, it better not be a close game.  We go to 0-8 in our last 8 close games and this team will have to confront the issue they can't handle pressure.

I hope it does not happen, but We are still good team.  Baltimore is top 5 teams in NFL.

If they are truly the SB favorite they won't lose tomorrow, they will overcome the injuries, Allen takes over the game, yadda.

 

I don't see that happening however.

Because Super Bowl favorites / Champions always go undefeated, especially against talented teams on the road? Great teams lose to other teams every year .. one win or lose does not anoint or eliminate them. It certainly would help with home field tiebreakers.
