Stop looking for style points

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Game went from style points to just win pretty quickly.

 

No one will remember this game.

[Dr.Sack]

Miami’s D generated 7 sacks and constant pressure. Thankful we won despite fumbling 4 times and throwing 2 picks. We figure a way to win and advance.

I get where you’re coming from but we had problems today that we’ve had for a while.  Problems that will be exploited by the really good teams left.

I remember the style points we got beating the Raiders 51-3 to get to the Super Bowl - we were clearly unstoppable.

We were loading up on style points on our way to a 12-3 lead on the Giants.

Survive and advance.  Nothing else matters. Next week, the players and coaches will play and scheme a different game.

LOL.  Not true.

 

You lost me right there.

 

Any other fan-isms for us?  Maybe today was a trap game?

 

Did the Bills look past the Fish to next week's opponent?

The fact that you’re against something I said let’s me know what I’m saying is correct 

[Walking Tall]

You just never know.

 

What if we play another stinker and the Bengals, Jaguars or Chiefs do as well?

 

Nothing is guaranteed in this league.

 

Nothing,

If we are to be really honest, I don’t think we’ve played a complete game on D, O, and ST since week 2.  It is a credit we’ve done so well given that, but I don’t think it will be enough against teams we’d be facing from here on.

Expand  

That's really my complaint against the "don't worry we won". I'm not going to start a thread saying we are a bad team, but we keep falling into the one man offense style and then a conservative defense that gives away chunk plays at the worst times. That recipe is not going to work against KC or the Bengals.

And exactly no one here believes that to be the case. 

Expand  

As much as I want us to win, I think we go in as underdogs against either team we could play next week.  Maybe that’s a good thing.

Glad we won, but if you think we can win next week playing the way they did today you’re mistaken

Expand  

I don't know I'm pretty sure if at the end we have a lead of 3 points that would mean we win, no matter how it looks.

Do you honestly believe we win next week playing how they played today?

We don't have to win pretty, we just have to win.

I do say.  You’re welcome

[No_Matter_What]

I see a small chance that in 4 weeks we look back and say that Miami gave us most fits on our way to Lombardi.

Well neither did Bengals or Chiefs (or have a look and tell me which one it was). Except for a random blowout of a bad team there is no such thing as this mythical "complete" game some of you like to speak about.

Turnovers just need to end and we can beat anyone in this league.

I don't think they're going to end.  When was our last turnover-free game?  Thanksgiving, maybe?

Agreed! We are in trouble next week. Everyone here says we need to “clean things up” and we’ll be ok. Guys we are ourselves. They should have been doing that for 10 weeks now. Bengals will blow us out.

If you mean hold the opposing offense to 250 yards, get 350 yards passing (should’ve been over 400 if Shakir doesn’t drop that bomb) and most importantly score more points than the other team, then YES 

[Fr. Jerk]

Points are points.

 

I'm suing OP for gimmick infringement, ya hurd?
