I know, but if the Bills can *claw* their way into the playoffs, which I hope is a takeaway theme from this game, then who knows?

 

As of right now, the entire AFC East is in the playoffs.

A SB favorite team like the bills should handle them easily. 

That’s not even remotely close to reality. This isn’t college football.

[Special K]

Bills let the Browns catch up so they could get credited with winning a one-score game!😛

I see. So when the stomped the Rams, Titans and Steelers it was fake news?

[Scott7975]

Browns beat the Bengals btw for those moaning about our win today.

That's why the Bills have to keep going, winning the division or not.  Maybe they get some breaks by way of Tua's head falling off, or the Jets crashing back to the ground, or a combination of gaffes in New England, but I would be surprised if this doesn't go down to the wire.

It's amazing how many people think real life is like Madden when the myriad of crazy thing going on this week with practices canceled, players sick, massive snowfall, the mental part of preparing themselves to travel for a game they thought would be at home, the massive snow they had to deal with actually getting to the airport and then not getting to the hotel until around 7:30pm doesn't matter.

 

I'm here to tell you it does. 

 

Mind numbing stuff from people who apparently would never ever ever have any issues after dealing with all of this stuff...you know...the same people who fall apart when an unexpected 30 minute meeting gets scheduled at work and upsets their daily schedule.

What is this crap? “Claw their way into the playoffs”? They’re going to be favored in every game the rest of the year. They’re much more likely to get the #1 seed than miss the playoffs.

Go look at their record-several close games, their defense is not good…people just assume they are blowing everyone out

Of the 3, only the Titans seem to be legit.

[TheWeatherMan]

Goff is going to have 400 yards passing on this secondary.

You basically answered your own question. It didn’t matter right? It’s all about the present. Get the W and on to the next.

 

No one will remember this Browns game.

Life comes at you fast.

 

Not sure the result would be the same if it was played next week.

 

Kind of lucked out to have them at that point of the schedule.

 

 

Could say that about any of the Bills losses too. No excuses, you play the schedule you have in front of you.

 

The hand wringing going on about some minor adversity of a 7-3 team is really pathetic to be honest.

 

They have played the toughest schedule in the NFL by strength of schedule and have the highest strength of victory. And lost 3 games by 8 points that they basically gave away. 

 

They are a lot closer to 10-0 than the 4-6 some would like you to believe.

Dude I don’t play madden. I know the reality of a professional league. This is now 4 games where the bills have not looked very good at all. Do you watch other teams. Do the chiefs have stretched like this?

Didn’t we turn the ball over some against them too? Still was not complete games, course could credit 17 on sideline for large part of the 2nd halves.

They were also favored heavily against the Jets, Dolphins and Vikings.

There will be no easy games for the Bills. At full strength they would blow teams out. Their injuries make almost every game competitive.

It isn't crap at all.  The team has issues, and I expect it to be a dogfight through the rest of the season and into the playoffs.  Did I say that they were going to lose out or miss the playoffs?  Nope, so not sure why you are bent out of shape.  But with KC and the Bills' record and with the Titans being pretty good, do you foresee the Bills getting the #1 seed?  And if so, why?

Well, you didn't mention the Browns in your list of 3, so...

Browns actually lost to the chargers haha.

 

But yes, I see your point

They don’t look unbeatable to me by any means…refs snuck them past the titans starting one of the worst qbs of all time….chargers were handling them before throwing a pick six in the end zone…we also beat them as well 

 

a great team no doubt but certainly not invincible

Not sure what you mean here. We’re saying that the Bills should’ve handled the browns easily. They didn’t.

Yeah, Tom Clancy (RIP!) could've written that one.  Jack Ryan diffuses a bomb then successfully plays CB for the Bills where they win a Super Bowl -- before becoming a 12-term president, you know, just because.  HAHA!

[TheWei44]

It was a solid win in my book with a final score that makes it look closer than it really was.  Sure, we had a lot of field goals and the secondary gave up a lot of yards through the air BUT Josh had a decent, conservative, turnover free game, Cook really Cook-ed, Knox showed what he can do, Milano on fire, Poyer solid, etc.  Add in the issues with the snow storm, and the win feels even better.

The point is it’s the NFL, a win is a win. Bills scored points on their last 8 drives

[y2zipper]

The positive given the condensed week is that they won even though they looked like a team that didn't practice much over the week for a half.

 

Offensively I like the efficiency and decision making from Josh and the running back production.  He got through the progressions quickly and got the ball out. When the snap to pass time is low, there are less turnovers and the offense is so efficient that when it scores on 7 or 8 possessions straight, they have a good chance to win against most teams even with a lot of field goals. 172 yards at 5 YPC from Singletary and Cook is the running game we want.

 

Defensively they need health.

I read here all week how Chubb was going to "run the ball down the throats" of the Bills.

Seems like Frazier took that away.  He had 19 yards on 14 rushes for a 1.4 YPC.

 

He put the whole game on the shoulders of the depth secondary, who struggled but played well enough for the win.

 

Chubb held to 1.4 YPC and people complaining about the DL.  LOL.  You can't make this stuff up.

Exactly.  We sold out to stuff the run and dared Brissett to beat us, even with a Swiss cheese secondary.  
 

It worked. 
 

How would you all have felt if we locked down the pass and Chubb ran for 250 and three scores?

I didn’t mention them because the Bills didn’t stomp them. You brought them up.

Does Dane Jackson EVER look back and try and find the ball ? 

 

The thing that kills me, when thinking about the one long ball down the left sideline to Cooper, is when you're chasing the guy but you're right by his side, you can see him looking the ball in. Just get your hand up! 

[ColoradoBills]

If you truly believe that you should bet big on that.  You would clean up.

I can say I think him having an over 400 yard passing day against the Bills is highly unlikely.

[SACTOBILLSFAN]

The second half they looked like a different team on offense and they still left a bunch of points on the table. I’m not an “establish the run” guy but the Browns have struggled mightily to stop the run and they finally realized it and it let Josh get comfortable. 
 

 

If we could somehow get White back on the field that would be so friggin huge for the 3rd and long struggles this defense is having.

Actually yes. Did you watch the Eagles squeak out a 17-16 win against Indy late in the 4th quarter? They looked like trash last week against Washington too.

 

Complaining when the Bills scored on 7 straight possessions and put up 31 points is pretty mind boggling. Could they be better? Sure. Will they? Highly likely. 

 

Last week they looked terrible putting up 500 yards of offense?? 

 

Newsflash...lots of teams tend to struggle at this time of the year. The last 3 SB winning teams all did.

 

Nothing mattered this game with everything going on other than getting a win. The fact they did so after going down early and then reeling off 22 unanswered points is a good sign. The fact Allen took the throws he was given and didn't try forcing the ball was a good sign. No turnovers. That's what they needed in THIS game.

 

As Allen says "It doesn't matter if it's by 1 or 100, a win is a win."

 

You should do well to realize that and stop worrying about how it "looked".

The same chiefs that barely eeked out a win against the Titans in OT two games ago and beat the Jags by 10 points last week?
