Game week thread - Bills at Falcons MNF

[RunTheBall]

The only people who think this Atlanta game is a must win are those Bills fans who think divisions and seeds are won in October. 

 

I absolutely want to win and do not want to give the division lead to the Pats*. Mostly that’s because I haven’t heard a THING from those bandwagon asshats in 5 years and all off a sudden Pats* fans are popping out of the woodwork. I even got sht from a dude at my local pizza shop an hour ago. I said Woah dude, slow your roll I haven’t heard a peep out of you in 5 years so STFU.

 

It’s how we finish not how we start. Too many of us are looking for the Bills to relieve our anxiety by having a 3 game lead in the division in October. 

 

NE is playing well. I hate them, I hate their fans, I hate that Maye looks like a really good QB and meathead Vrabel has them playing well. I hate all things Patriots so much that I’d sacrifice my left nut if they never made the playoffs in my remaining years. But, having some pressure on our guys isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Feeling a little heat will keep them from complacency. I think McD has done a good job over the years keeping them focused but having a team that already beat you breathing down your neck can be a motivator in itself.

 

F the Pats*, F their bandwagon fans, F Vrabel and his douchebag face. Run the ball against Atlanta’s light front and Go Bills!

Agree, Every game like it or not is a must win, that is the attitude our guys need to adopt, jmo. 

God bless ya

Damn straight.

So no practice squad elevations this week, despite all the injuries to the interior DL? So it’s just Oliver Jones and Walker at DT? Unless they’re planning to sign someone to the 53, this seems wild. 
 

The PS elevation window closed, I believe.

Isn't that what Josh always says?  They want to go 1 and 0 each week.

I believe the metric to judge a GM and coach is Super Bowl wins. Isn't that the ultimate goal ?

yes.

 But there should more context perhaps ?

 When Sean inherited the team it needed a ton of repairs, Inside outside and foundational. Beane came on with same mantra

Made it to the playoffs and remained a contender as they stated early in their Bills career

Getting the Lombardi is the metric Great teams are measured upon

Not sure  but sounds like Josh. Wise young man 😇

This is the second time I seen a post on X that Poyer is going to be active for gameday tomorrow. The Bills made callups. I just can't find them anywhere.

With Hamlin out and Franklin mainly a ST player, it makes sense….but we have to hope the Ayahuasca awakened his inner 2020…

I would plan on it with Hamlin placed on IR. He won’t play on defense unless there’s an injury

Thank you. You summed up my feelings about the Pats and their fans perfectly. Sooo many Patriots "fans" this past week.

A must game win for the Bills?  Are people insane? A little history will help:

 

2021:  the Bills are 7 - 6 and 2.5 games out of 1st place in the east.

 

2022:  the Bills are 6 - 3 and in 3rd place in the AFC East.

 

2023:  the Bills are 6 - 6 and 3 games behind Miami in the East.

 

2024:  the Bills are 3 - 2 after 5 games.

 

So in what alternate universe is 4 - 2 season over for a team with the above track record?

Last week felt like the Miami game a few years ago.  Lost a game where we shot ourselves in the foot throughout.

 

won the division that year…. Like we will again

This speaks for me.  It's all I'd ever want to say on this topic.

I thank and commend you for the way you pointed out the obvious so concisely. 

 

A season is a lifetime.

No dome tomorrow.  Retractable roof will be open.

I agree, sort of. The season itself won’t be over with a loss but the bills will be demonstrating an inability to improve and it will mean they are likely to NOT reach/win the Super Bowl. 

 

we’ve plateaued and need to improve. haven’t seen any signs of improvement, look very much like the recent versions of ourselves. 
 

win or lose this game we likely make the playoffs, so we’ll have a shot. Need to see the defense grow into something scary or we’re likely not getting over the hump. 
 

Has the plateau been sweet? Sure, but we want a Super Bowl win. 

Agree

 

Something about this team this year just doesn't sit right. The defense appears to be worse and the offense is inconsistent, disjointed, and not difficult for opposing defenses to figure out. They'll make the playoffs but don't really see them in the Superbowl.

Had to open the roof to minimize the crowd noise for the Falcons! 🤪
