BillsFan619 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) We’re ONE game behind every single wild card leader: -The Steelers, who were just dominated by the Cardinals and don’t have a good QB (and who also may be out for a couple weeks with an ankle injury) -The Browns, who just lost to the Rams and have either an aging QB or DTR to help them fulfill their playoff dreams -The Colts, who have Gardner Minshew (career journeyman). While they’re schedule is not brutal, they could lose a few of their remaining games -The Texans, who have a good QB but a rookie, and their #1 WR is out for the year Yes, we have to play this one week at a time. That said, the offense is starting to look like the offense we’ve known over the past few years. And for the people who say they need to see it, we’ve seen it the past three years. We’ve had an EIGHT game win streak to close out 2022, a FOUR game win streak to close out 2021 and a SIX game win streak to close out 2020. Oh, and like no team above us, we have one of the best QBs in the league in JA. Edited January 8 by BillsFan619 21 3 2 9 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) If we don't go 4-1 it won't matter what the others do. We have to take care of our own business and so far we've done a very poor job. We'll see but we waited way too long to replace Dorsey. It's infuriating how close we are to being 10-2.

I'm not overly optimistic - I see the warts we all see - just seems like some folks are more interested in the hope of the offseason (when no games/championships can be won) over what's possible and right in front of us. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven233 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I watch these games around the league every week. Every week I see the supposed best teams in the NFL play really well some weeks and then terribly average the next. Coaching issues aside, I am still not convinced that when we play our best ball (which hasn't happened much this season at all), that we aren't the best team in the league. It's so strange to say that sitting at 6-6 out of the Playoffs, but there is not a team we play that scares me talent wise where I just think we are outclassed on the field. The problem this season, more so than execution, is our coaching. While it is just a 2 week sample size, it is very obvious to see that Dorsey held this offense back all season. I can think of at least 3 losses that if Dorsey just uses common sense, they are wins and we aren't even having this conversation about rooting for other teams to lose to get in. Add that to the fact that McDermott pisses and craps his pants every time a game is close and comes down to him getting a defensive stop, and it is becoming more and more obvious every week that the only place we are outclassed on the field is on the sideline with our coaching staff. If Brady rights the ship here on offense for the rest of the season and we can average 28+ points every game, and if we can just get McDermott to stop throwing up all over himself, this season can still be salvaged. But that is a ton of "ifs" and McDermott has shown no signs in 5 years of figuring out how to win the games in crunch time. That's why as of now, we are going to be watching career backups and journeymen QBs with below average teams in the Playoffs while we sit home trying to figure out what WR we want to draft with out mid first round pick. So frustrating. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
