Billznut Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 2 minutes ago, NJKBillsfan said: We knew Baltimore was resting starters so this isn't surprising at all. I said last week we're gonna need to win tomorrow night to get in. Only some of us knew they were resting starters. There are hundreds of posts about it starting a week ago where people here insisted the Ravens wouldn’t rest their starters. It was hilarious a week ago and even more today with all the crying from people that the Ravens actually did indeed rest starters today. Ravens earned the right to do what they did today. We will see how it impacts them in two weeks. Posters here years ago routinely wanted the Bills to rest starters in meaningless season ending game. But yet today it’s the worst thing some have ever seen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. The team is not trash. They just don't have a star QB. They didn’t really beat THE ravens twice to be fair. Seattle is very mediocre also. They beat the jake browning bengals that weren’t very good twice is why they’re knocking on the door of the playoffs. you might want to check that Texans Steelers box score again 😂 Steelers are a fringe playoff team with watt…Its pretty fair to say based on the effort tonight they probably would not have beaten the ravens starters. They’re pretty much a 9-8 team with some surprising wins and terrible losses. With burrow starting all year they’re probably 8-9 at best. They dodged a ton of divisional bullets due to insane luck lol. 13-3 ravens without Lamar and cincy x2 without burrow is half their division games Edited January 7 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfanatic8989 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 4 minutes ago, Generic_Bills_Fan said: It’s makin the 2 seed play an extra game though which is giving a massive advantage to the 1 seed. Instead of playing nobody they’ve gotta play a pretty decent team so I don’t think it’s watering down the competition imo but I could see how somebody would I just preferred the two seeds getting a bye. There was nothing wrong with that strategy. This is a cash grab by the league. Nothing more. The two seed should get something out of this new format. Like choosing who they play in round one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day its just a bunch of emotional Bills fans not thinking logically because they wanted a shoe in from the Ravens and didn't get it. Now they are trash talking both teams. The Bills need to take care of it themselves. Its how it should be. If they cant then its their own fault.

Good football teams don't have negative point differentials over a 17 game season or get outgained in their first 9 games, setting an NFL record in the process. They are a fluke and will be gone first game if they somehow make the playoffs I don't care how they did it. They still won the games they needed to put them in a spot to make the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are about to play roughly 20 days without any meaningful snaps for a team that’s crazy especially if they get the Browns who know them as well as anyone So you think going through the motions for a couple series makes that much difference? I guess it’s possible and I can’t debate you on it. Perhaps that was the plan until the field was flooded and increased the risk.

I mean on paper sure they beat them tonight but as far as evidence of ‘how can you say the Steelers aren’t that good look at who they beat this year’ this game meant nothing lol my point has nothing to do with the bills at all…Steelers are a mediocre at best team that will sneak in the playoffs based on catching superior teams at the right time if they make it at all. Were beating up the bills for losing to three bad teams at various points throughout the year? Pit lost three extremely important games in a row against Arizona NE and Indy down the stretch idk how Tomlin gets away with it lol they were an essential lock for the playoffs and they completely choked and now Tomlin gets praise for another winning season with supposedly no talent because Baltimore pretty much gifted them a win 😂. Doesn’t even bother me at all if they end up being the team that keeps us out I just was taken aback by someone implying they are good tonight was the perfect result for the bills if they have actual Super Bowl aspirations imo…Baltimore might come out flat and get bounced despite being the best team and we might get pit in round 1 Edited January 7 by Generic_Bills_Fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the only pair which would have made sense is Texans at Colts in the late afternoon slot, followed by Jags and Titans in primetime. Pure focus on the AFC South, three out of four teams after something and the fourth would at least be focusing on winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll see this weather as being a good excuse, and they are probably right... But if they come out flat vs their likely 1st round opponent Cleveland it could get interesting.

Lamar has been injured the last couple years. Playing a few series or even a half is meaningless two weeks from now. Pitts just lost Watt. Injuries happen. Pitts is very physical and the field and weather were *****. Playing Lamar in a meaningless game would be the coaching blunder. Same people saying this would have McD's head on a stake if he played Allen in the same situation. They are just thinking emotionally cus they scared, not logically. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
