There could be some tricky elements at Highmark Stadium.

Nah.  If we learned anything these last two years, conditions will be fine in Orchard Park in January.

Fields didn’t run today. The Bills didn’t stop him.

We are the ugliest high scoring team I have ever seen

People have been overreacting to giving up a score early on the scripted drive for years lol

It seems like Frazier likes to play vanilla at the beginning to see what the offense's gameplan is. Then clamps down. If the defense tackles consistently, we have a top defense.

Another W. That’s all that matters. I don’t care how.

 

I think Josh didn’t take the Bears D seriously. He came out gunslinging looking for kill shots every play. You could see how late he was to the check downs because he’s milking every second he can to look deep. If he would just take the easy yards a second quicker it would open up the downfield stuff so much more. The pics were one awful decision and one awful throw. Maybe the wind got it, IDK, I didn’t care.

 

I love James Cook. He is friggin smooth like butter and gaining confidence in every game. If Singletary walks he will be our lead back but I bet Singletary comes back on a team friendly deal.

 

Horrible special teams, probably the elements. Without the self inflicted wounds be drop a 50 burger on the Bears.

 

When we play clean, we are nearly unbeatable. 

Yep. Bills are 12-0 vs. the schedule and 0-3 vs. themselves.

I don’t agree with this characterization.  The three close losses to the Jets, Dolphins and Vikings are completely balanced by the tight wins against the Lions, Ravens and Chiefs.  The way small sample variance goes we could be anywhere between 9-6 and 15-0, so 12-3 represents the team’s accomplishments well.

I don't know about that. Muppy seems to think we have some good looking players.😉

You are what you are in this league.  They had some games they won they very easily could have lost.  Goes both ways 

[djp14150]

7-12 for fields vs 6-41 for Allen in running.

 

the got the opening drive TD

after that they got a FG on a pin of buffalo deep starting inside 40 and then after failing on 4th, they got a turnover which then gave them a FG

 

65 on opening drive

25 garbage time

209 for the game

thats 119 the rest of the game

I thought the front 4 on both sides of the ball played great games and carried the team to a win today.

I see what you "mean"!

The Bills are 12-3 despite shooting themselves in the foot constantly. 

That’s the point. The tight games vs. the Ravens, Chiefs, and Lions cited above as possible losses are poor examples because we came back and won those games, just took them away from the opponents. I can’t say the Dolphins, Jets, and Vikings won in the same fashion at all. Not in the least.

I think James Cook is coming into his own. I think he is both quicker and faster than Singletary and picks his holes much better. Singletary has been running with power and keeps his legs churning gaining yards after contact. Cook has a better chance of breaking a long run. Very encouraged from what I have seen of our running game of late.

Odd non conference late in the year cold game.  Felt odd from the start.  Glad they got out with a win and the division.  What a strange year this one has been.

Not entirely unlike the Falcons game last year.

His TD today was a thing of beauty. Real intelligence and fluidity in that run. 

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I have not seen any breakdowns, were the Bears in heavy shell coverage and inviting the Bills to run? Because it seems like a normally terrible secondary did a good job limiting Josh with help from the wind while the running game hadn't looked that dominant any time in decent memory.

 

I think Singletary was close to 10 yards a carry? I know the Bears Dline isn't good, but this seems purposeful

I forget who hit him but it was during Fields last drive he got drilled and limped off the field. But yeah people can say that fields didn't try running lol.
