ColoradoBills Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 The Buffalo Bills are one win from the Division Championship and three games from the AFC #1 Seed. They will not take this game lightly. It's all in to win this one and take a mini-break after. With 3 wins the Bears are locked into the #2 overall pick in the draft. Winning games this late in the year only hurts them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could probably turn the 2nd overall pick into 2 first rounders & change from a QB-needy team. If they win any more games, that becomes harder to do.

Big Turk Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Buffalo increases it's DVOA slightly in Miami win, PHI drops significantly, Bills back in first with an almost 4% lead now on 2nd place Philly. Look at both Eagles and 49ers playing 2 of the easiest schedules in the NFL while the Bills have played the 8th hardest.

Only wishful thinking. Half of those players are not going to be on that team and no player wants tape of them dogging it when they are looking for their next contract. Those players don't care about their draft status, they want to win. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, play hard, but smart at the same time. Especially if they are FA'S?

Fleezoid Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Defensive game plan for the Bears..... If you see a Bears player running with the football, don't just pat him on the shoulders, arms and back, Grab him and pull him to the ground!

Beck Water Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 2 hours ago, eball said: I disagree with your premise that any of these examples were "let down" games, and there are reasonable rationales for all of them -- namely, it's hard to win in the NFL. There is a reason why literally EVERY coach says it on an almost weekly basis -- because it's true. I'm surprised you didn't say "Remember the Jags" -- that's probably the only one I can think of that was truly a "huh?" moment during the McD/Josh Allen era. I didn't see the Jags particularly as a "let down game". I could be misremembering, but I didn't feel we'd gone over the top, all out against the Dolphins the previous week - not that we didn't play hard and play well, but we were coming off a bye week and it seemed like a regular, solid win.

Beck Water Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Apologies if I missed this up-thread: I did not see Brandin Bryant being the one cut to make room for Boettger. Either the Bills are very confident in Oliver having come out of the game OK and Jordan Phillips being ready to go... ....or they were not happy with how Bryant played in his 10 snaps against the Dolphins ...or they are not confident at all about Bates ankle and Morse's head I'm worried about that last possibility. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrider Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I hope the Bills don't play down to the Bears level. I wouldn't expect a blowout in the bad weather but Bills should win this one by 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a hard fought out battle. Fields and his legs are very very good, weather looks to be very cold but it's the wind that will hurt the Bills passing game. I've heard possible up to 30 MPH. Not sure how valid that is because I saw it on twitter. The Bears just played a tough Eagle team to a close game. People calling Bills blowouts week after week is getting a little out of hand. it balances out the doom and gloom 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember early in the year when some people were saying we need to run the ball more successfully and consistently, while other people were saying there was no need. We were blowing teams out early in the season, but the arrival of winter should not be a surprise to anyone. Duh. I hope we can turn it on this year, but that has to be a priority (again) going into next season. They drafted Cook and traded for Hines, and they signed some FA OLine. It wasn’t enough. We will always be a passing team with Josh, but we need balance to get to the top of the mountain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
