BuffaloBaumer Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I don't care if they win 2-0, Cinci is the big one. With a weak first round opponent, it should give us the edge to hold back a playbook that will hopefully be utilized to the fullest vs Bengals.

ProcessTruster Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 If they don't win, then they didn't deserve to be there in the first place.  If they do, I just want it to be injury free, so that we can really see what they can do against the Bengals.  I don't want to be like the Ravens and Phins, forced to play backup QBs.  We already solved the 13 seconds problem by firing the cause.   Hopefully the Bills win it all this year; but still think last year was "the year" if Heath Farwell doesn't completely choke.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills had 6 losses last year, including an ugly blowout at home by the Colts and a stupid loss in Jacksonville. The Bills didn't look like an offensive powerhouse until the Wild Card game against the Pats. Everyone remembers that team, but how about the offense in the Atlanta game or in the week 1 loss to the Steelers? Heck, week 18 against the 4 win Jets was a nail biter (tied in the 3rd) and the Bills had to win that game to win the division. This team is better statistically than last year's team on both offense and defense, even given all the adversity they've faced both from injuries and the weather. I think that it doesn't feel that way because our expectations are sky high. But this is the best Bills team since the early 90's and perhaps the best Bills team ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with @Wizard. The Bills need a game like the Rams game to open the playoffs. Tone and messages need to be sent that this is their destiny. The offense needs to be as sharp as possible, especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 What would be great, if it happens, is a blowout lead at halftime, resulting in Josh and other key players (DIGGS) sitting out the second half, getting rest, and avoiding injury going into the real playoff game against the BENGALS. Â Miami is crippled; we will win this game, just a question of how easily. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been too many ‘squeak by’ victories even if the point differential doesn’t seem to show it. When you play a team as decimated as Miami, don't let them hang around. I'd like to have a relaxing Sunday afternoon and yes want to see the offence really roll.   Yes I get "Any Given Sunday", but time to flex some muscles.

Billsfan1972 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 And who is the team everyone is pointing to as the most complete team right now? The team that has been the most dominating the last 6 weeks.  It's SF 49'ers  Their only issue is they expect the clock to strike midnight on Cinderella (Purdy).  Yes a game like the Pittsburgh game where we can complain afterwards about the defence allowing Pickett 324 yards passing and the usual "Bend Don't Break".😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
