They are not in any way acting or playing like a team who doesn't like their head coach or who want a change. If anything, the Dunne article seems to have united the team and provided an "us against the world" rallying cry. Furthermore, yesterday's game was a "Sean McDermott's perfect ideal of what football should look like" game if ever I saw one. Masterful defense, the offense imposing their well, and physicality across the board. Very, very impressive. The thing that stood out to me on TV is that you could SEE how hard the Bills were playing. The defense was absolutely flying around, hitting hard, popping pads, and playing MEAN and with swagger. The offense was physical and relentless. The whole team LOOKED like it was playing playoff football, whereas the Cowboys absolutely did not. For the defense to play as well as it did, missing as many key players as it is, against such a great offense, was MASSIVELY impressive. For the offense to impose its will and dominate physically the way it did, just running the ball over and over and over, was also massively impressive, both from a physical standpoint and from a "Joe Brady is just gonna keep doing the simple and obvious thing until you stop it" tactical standpoint. Yesterday was the most thorough, impressive, across-the-board win I've seen from the Bills in quite some time. Great jobs from both offensive and defensive coaching. Great jobs from both lines of scrimmage. Great jobs by the players in executing. Just a no-doubt-about-it 60 minute ass whoopin. What else can I say? Give Brady his flowers. Give McDermott his flowers. Give Cook and the o-line their flowers. Masterful, impressive, awesome win. GO BILLS!!! This post says it all but I came online to this thread to say just this one thing. Today a Great Victory Monday after witnessing what we did yesterday is like the cigarette after great sex. It is delicious. And is making me really excited for the future Rawrrr GO BILLS!~!~!!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stenbar Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 For myself, my highlights of the Game were these: 1. The Bills played so well, that they took the opportunity of game turning decisions away from McDermott. 2. Offensive Discipline, not one offensive holding penalty. 3. Aggressive play of the defensive players as individuals and team defense. 4. The mauling our offensive line against the D-Line, and grouping blocks after the 1st tier was passed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw very hard hitting Bills team (especially in the trenches on both sides) out there. As we were walking back to our car after the game, we had the post game show streaming on my phone and the first thing we heard from the host "Bulldog" was that it was not a particularly out of the ordinary game from a physical sense... I think the post-game show needs a new host. Just wow! Sucks that we are forced to listen to that if we want to hear the post-game press conferences right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 One of, if not the, best game I’ve been fortunate to attend as a Bills fan. Too bad because all 4th quarter the only thing you could hear was Bills fans arguing amongst themselves - “Best since OJ!” & “No, best since Thurman!” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, they will have to call obvious procedural stuff, but they aren't flagging the dumb nitpicky judgement calls the past couple weeks and I expect that positive trend to continue through the end of the season. Are these 'Angels in the Outfield' rules?? Or can they help us in the championship too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a 12th man away from being 9-5. We're a missed 59 yard field goal in the rain away from being 10-4. We're probably one interception away from beating the Jets on opening night. You are what your record says you are. The calls and the luck of the football bounce both ways. Every team in the NFL can play the "what if" game. The Bills are 8-6 and have a realistic shot at the postseason. They recently almost beat the Eagles in Philly, they beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead, and they DESTROYED the hottest team in the league yesterday.

I mean I don't want to agree with the possibility, also the Eagles game makes it seem absurd though maybe they hadn't bought the turnaround yet, but the AFC feels ***** dead, do you really want all these bums in there and not us. Bills are the most exciting team left in the AFC whether it's through injuries or teams like the Chiefs having a down year, it is what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I liked the tush push fake we pulled. Line up someone behind allen, then when the line moves in snap it and go into the vacated gap. If they don't move in, tush push, if they do, find some space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryMadman Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 2 hours ago, Generic_Bills_Fan said: Right but like I said before…that scenario where we miss requires picking the winner of like 15 individual games perfectly to keep us out at 11 wins…if any single individual game goes our way, the bills cannot miss at 11 wins. ‘They still might not make it’ is technically correct but incredibly misleading if you don’t add that the ‘might not’ is astronomically small odds just the Miami beating Dallas and Baltimore and cincy beating kc portion is very unlikely. Then you pile on top of that the ravens losing out, cincy winning out, Indy winning out, jax winning out, Cleveland winning 2 but they have to be a specific 2, I’m probably still even missing a few things but it’s still extremely extremely unlikely we are all but in at 11 wins right now. Saying things like ‘we need help still to make it in with 11 wins’ is pretty disingenuous. We would need more negative help than anyone has ever gotten to not make it 😂 if these teams you’re talking about winning out were all huge favorites every game it would still be a long shot but a little more reasonable to at least understand where you’re coming from.. But with backup qbs and such they are probably no better than 55ish percent chance of winning any individual game. The odds of just 5 games like that all going against you are about 5% let alone how many there would actually be. Were talking like 1/5000 chance or more but they’re just gonna round it down to 99.9% chance we make it. Lol, never said that, so stop lying, however It's highly likely it won't, but could this not happen? It's just one of many scenarios, whether you like it or not or just can't deal with facts, there is nothing "disingenuous" about it. Nobody thought .13 seconds could happen either.

Still, in about half as many games, Simpson had half as many receptions as Marcus Allen, perhaps the first great pass catching receiver who played a decade after Simpson. Simpson averaged more yards per reception than either Allen or Thomas. He also averaged more touchdowns per reception. Simpson was not "strictly a runner." He was a deadly receiver 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone keeps saying this but the bengals look damn good to me. No one will want to deal with Josh Allen and this running game if they get in but I think that is true of the Bengals right now also. The Bengals and Bills over the past month have looked better than any of the division leaders sans maybe baltimore. I am just worried about the chargers game and nothing else at the moment. Yesterday coupled with the win at KC was just a great 7 days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lying? lol you said we can win 11 and miss…quite a few posters have said we need help. Neither of those statements paint anywhere near a complete picture of how much of an absolute fluke it would be if we win 11 and miss is all I was saying. Someone reading that would think we need to win 11 and get lucky to get in when in reality it’s so much of a near impossibility that some places are saying we’re in if we win out already 😂 13 seconds was much much more likely to occur than us missing the playoffs with 11 wins…chiefs had a 3% chance to win in that situation. This is being rounded down at calling it a 99.9% chance because they don’t go to a hundredths decimal place but even if it was just a 99.9% chance it would be 30 times as unlikely as ‘13 seconds’ for us to not get in Edited December 18, 2023 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
