Albany,n.y. Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I want Jacksonville to win because I want the Bills to HAVE to play for the 2nd seed like their playoff lives depend on it. If they can't win tonight, what makes anyone think the would go far in the playoffs as a 5th or 6th seed after blowing 2nd seed? I want the Bills to know it's do or die and play like there's no tomorrow because every game will be do or die the rest of the post season. Toughen them up with a must win mindset entering the game tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw other teams, we need the #2 seed True but id rather play the Steelers over the Texans in round 1 even if we do win Jags losing helps.

It's ridiculous if we can't beat Miami out for the division given that our offense was essentially injury-free this season given our roster. How many times is that going to happen. Factor in Cook's play, our vastly improved OL, and it's not good that we haven't clinched the division by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not good that we haven't clinched the playoffs by now. But the reason the division is still in play today is that Miami has been good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this discussion is hardly complete without that comparison of injuries to both teams' offensive players. How many seasons are we going to get through with zero significant injuries on offense? None is a safe wager. Edited January 7 by PBF81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None is a safe wager. No they are not. But they are an 11 win team going into week 18. So the Bills would have to have been a 13 win team going into week 18 with the potential to be a 14 win team for there to be no possibility the division is in play today. And I have already explained why I don't look at this roster and see a 14 win team this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, if McD can't do significantly better than three of our teams with 9-7 records during our drought era, with WBs half, at best,, of what allen is, ... 🙂 9 minutes ago, Strethor said: TLaw plays horrible when listed on the injury report.

I don't see Mike Vrabel coaching like that. I think Jacksonville will win. But I don't think it will be any lack of effort on TEN's part. They will give them everything they have. They just are not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 The good thing about the way this lines up today is that the Bills will absolutely know what they need to do long before kickoff tonight. It could be like the drought ending season where they were finished and had to pray the Bengals pulled off a miracle an hour or so later.

Like you said, they're not very good, all they have to do is come in not caring. Beathard played well enough against Carolina as well.

I expect a close first half and Jacksonville pull away just enough in the second. 26-16 something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
