Don't look now, but Bills rounding into playoff shape.


ChicagoRic

Recommended Posts

The Allen/Diggs connection is back.  Elbow looks good

 

Dawson Knox has come on strong over the last several games.

 

Singletary and Cook have established a non-Josh running game.

 

The pass rush is generating pressure without Miller.

 

Milano and Emunds are playing lights out.

 

Hamlin is gonna be ok!!!  And the secondary is too.  Benford off IR and White with and INT.

 

Special teams? Hines just struck fear into the hearts of the opposition moving forward. 

 

Bring on Miami!

I’d love to believe that but I don’t think so. Last year the bills crushed the pats in The final game. 
the bills this year are an enigma to me. They struggle on D with every team. The O looks pedestrian at times and then explodes. The games seem so close and yet the final score is 2 score wins. Hard to put my finger on it. The Bills last season had an overrated D but a super explosive O

I just hope they're saving their best for the playoffs. Josh had a good game, but they still need to be better. I'll cut them alot of slack this week seeing everything that happened this week, but now it's go time. Can't have Davis dropping easy catches and singeltary fumbling and special teams touching the ball and giving the ball back to the opponent. Also, the secondary needs to tighten up

It's the defense for me.  Can they stop the 3rd & 8, 10, 15.  Get off the field.  The red zone d is pretty solid but damn.  

Pats converted 2 forth downs today.

The one thing that is bothering me is I don’t know exactly what’s going to happen whenever we get into the red zone. We absolutely cannot turn the ball over there. It’s going to be the difference between winning and losing in these playoff games.

This. Last year they were money in the red zone. Even if the D was less than stellar the O could be counted on to score TDs on the red zone. This year when Josh drops back I hold my breath

Agree- Davis is just not on point and it's getting old- he doesn't watch his feet and uses his body to much to catch the ball- I'm not sure he should be on the field as much-

The secondary hopefully gets better with Benford back but that's a lot to hope for a rookie just getting back- I'm hoping we get back to Early season form- on offense somehow and it almost won't matter

We need to stop doing that and run the ball in the red zone

Honestly, if we made a real concerted effort to get Cook 20 touches a game, I think our offense would be extremely balanced and effective. 
 

I know you all see it. He’s ripping off decent runs seemingly every play. And it looks like on the occasional play he is about to rip off a huge run. You can’t keep that on the sideline. We need him way more involved even if it’s to Motor’s expense

Think you are simply misremembering. I suggest you go look back at the games. The offense was much better and more consistent this year in general

Actually, they beat the Jets in the final game.  In the penultimate game they beat Atlanta.  Two bad teams and the games were close but the Bills pulled away late to win by 17 and 14...much like you describe them doing this year.

Last year's offense was a bit more boom and bust. When it was great it was great when it wasn't it was ugly. This has been a bit more a steady as she goes offense. More consistent for sure. Not quite so sure I'd go better. Think last year's O when it was humming I'd give a slight edge. 

 

Honestly the biggest issue is the turnovers and drops. All year too many of both.

And best part is...Josh can still tote the rock when needed.

Still have faith in team. Just need to do well and finish games consistent all sides for playoffs.
