1/7/24 Week #18 GAMEDAY Bills at Dolphins PregameThread Edit: Jags lost WE’RE IN!


Recommended Posts

Probably one of the better links I've found on an opponents forum:

 

 

They made a really good point that the Bills defense earlier this season already seemed to know what was going on.  Really interesting to see if we can reproduce our earlier defensive effort (and Baltimore's).  

 

Edit: to be clear, the guy talking in the video turns 10 minutes into 70.  But the first 10-15 had good knowledge in it

Which is odd because then they would need to go to baltimore again where they got curb stomped. 

 

I don't think they're thinking that far ahead. I honestly don't get their panic at playing the Bills twice.

If I'm Josh Allen, I throw this game and then tell coach I'm spending the week in South Florida to save on travel and doing prep work on the beach.

I'm so glad that you aren't Josh Allen.

McDermott seems to have a good read on the shanahan offense (49ers/rams/phins)

I understand people who have this way of thinking.

You're saying you would have preferred the drama, the atmosphere, the "cinema" of a win-and-in, lose-and-out game. 

I get that, but that ain't me. 

For me, it's simple: To win the Super Bowl, you have to get into the playoffs. Any way, shape, or form that that happens for the Bills -- pretty, ugly, definitive, barely, backing in, clinching in week 12 -- I don't care. All I care is that they're in. That being the case, I'm thrilled that they have a spot clinched. No amount of of drama, atmosphere, or cinematic tension was worth the potential of not even making it to the second season. Not when we have Joshua Patrick Allen under center.

And as I said earlier, I think the stakes are huge. The Bills' path to the Super Bowl looks A LOT easier as the 2-seed than the 6-seed. Getting the Steelers at home and then seeing the Phins have to travel to Arrowhead -- thus ensuring that one of them will be eliminated before we'd even see them -- would be amazing.

But first thing's first: Hold the line. Win the East. Squish the Fish. Go Bills.

I agree with a lot of this.

 

For me, either way has stress.  But one way was negative stress ("If we don't win, we are out!").  The other way has positive stress ("Let's kick their butts and take the division championship!")  I prefer the positive stress.

They have struggled for sure. But Would you really wanna play Mahomes and Andy Reid in arrowhead in a playoff game?

Hell no, I'm sick of playing at KC.  Bring them to our home for a change!

The fins board seems pretty one sided on they would rather the Chiefs even at arrowhead.

 

It feels like a better outcome for both sides if Buffalo wins tonight. I don't think either team or fanbase has an appetite for a rematch next week. Bills would rather play the Steelers at home, Dolphins would rather play the Chiefs even on the road.

I wonder how the pregame playoff berth affects Allen? If this was lose and go home, i know he’d be running out there like a wild Mustang, injury be damned.  But now he knows he has to live another week, at least. Don’t play stupid.

The Bills defense saw something in the earlier Dolphins game this year too. They had Miami's number in that game.

I think that’s you speculating because the facts are that it will be high 70’s in Miami next week and it will be single digits in Kansas City. Miami is NOT winning in those conditions.
