TH3 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 6 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Outplayed might be a stretch…It was pretty evenly matched throughout though… and the Dolphins had the lead late as they were running at will on us due to some shotty tackling….and I recall more than a few occasions where they abandoned the run despite that fact and it saved our ass… And Josh saved the game offensively. So they...in actuality....did not play as well as the Bills by almost every metric.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUBB86 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 39 minutes ago, ytownblofan said: I agree they haven’t been playing their best. But the Bills went 7-1 with 1 cancellation in the second half. They scored 235 points or an average of 29 points over those 8 games. They allowed 168 or an average of 21. Whether or not they are in or out of sync or if they are playing good can be debated. At the end of the day, they have been putting up points and winning games and in January, that’s all that matters. Don’t disagree with this. If Allen can find that spark again, we will be a really tough team to play. Need to score a lot of points against our next round of opponents, especially Bengals and Chiefs. I’m actually more worried about CIN than I am KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of sync...played "bad"...won by 12 going away and if Davis simply holds onto an easy TD by 19. This is why I can't take half the posters here seriously. The Bills have been nearly impossible to beat even while playing "bad". Im no Debbie downer, but if you think this matchup isn’t a tough one then you haven’t been paying attention to where the Bills have shown themselves to be vulnerable. I believe we will win this game, but there is no question we have the absolute hardest road to the SB in the NFL right now. Our beat up secondary has to go through Dolphins WRs then likely through Cincy’s to likely face off against Mahomes and KC again. Yes we can win all 3 if that plays out like that, but we are down to our 3rd string safety and Tre isn’t all the way back yet and lacks the burst against those fast WRs. Mac Jones just out scored our offense today 24-21. We can’t bank on ST TDs every week. We need someone besides Diggs to step up on offense to help Josh out. So again, we should win this game, but to mock anyone who sees it as a tough matchup seems off base to me. It is a tough matchup, and no gimme. 2 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytownblofan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Tua also hasn’t seen the practice field in 2 weeks, so let’s not act like he’s 100% ready to go and has just been hanging on the sideline. If he plays, so be it, but it should and likely will take him a beat to get back into the swing of it. Which in the playoffs can cost you the entire game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely a game that felt lucky to come out of with a Bills victory….considering with about 10 minutes in the game the Bills were down 8 after Allen was strip sacked and the team was being outplayed in just about every one of those metrics you mentioned… it also took a heroic last possession from Allen for the Bills to surpass the Dolphins in those same metrics you mentioned and to win the game.

Buffalo Ballin Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The posters here who don't like this match up most likely are the same people who said "forfeit forfeit forfeit" when Damar Hamlin got knocked out.

But let’s not forget those two ST TDs also took two possessions away from our offense so it’s also entirely plausible our offense could have outscored him 35-24. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poyer is unfortunately showing his age - or maybe the lack of Hyde is really bothering him. But he has missed some tackles recently that are unlike him and he has been caught out of position a few times. I think the Bills move on from him this offseason.

Agree with almost all of this… though the “beat up secondary” is a bit of a lame excuse… Hyde is really the only prominent piece missing and he’s barely played this year…. Hamlin wasn’t exactly lighting it up in the field and was consistently missing big tackles… I think his loss is a minimal loss at most.

billsbackto81 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 The only solace I can take from this match up is that our offense has zero problems moving the ball on their defense. Our D has to play a lot better for us to get where we want to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to nitpick but the Bills don’t have the hardest road-extremely difficult yes, but not the hardest. You can make the argument that the Bengals have a tougher road. The Ravens with Lamar is probably a better team than Miami (or equal to) then they have to go on the road to Buffalo and then would have to play in KC. That’s harder than what the Bills would be facing 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuscott16 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 42 minutes ago, TheWeatherMan said: So most likely scenario for us is Miami, Bengals, Chiefs? Chiefs get: Bye, Chargers, Bills/Bengals? That is an insane advantage for the Chiefs. Not only do they get the bye, they dodge the #2 and #3 seed until the championship game. We’re going to have to run the gauntlet to get to the SB. Arguably having to beat the 1st and 3rd best teams in the NFL. Don't sleep on the Chargers versus KC. Division game and they have been playing well. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
