This is why Buffalo should’ve took care of business at home. Protected the ball and got out of there by a slim margin. Instead they might be faced with this scenario. Still it’s hard to be too upset at 4-1

We have the lowest strength of victory in the league, plenty to be upset about

Finally a reply about the actual topic 

Absolutely no way. I don’t even think they lose one of those games. 

Mac Hollins and Diggs did what they did for Josh and Maye made the throws. NE is going to be a tough out for anyione who plays them. And their schedule is light as they play the threes. We still have Eagles Chiefs  . . . etc.

I don't know what's going on with the Eagles, but they haven't been all that impressive this year. Barkley is having a down year compared to last year as their OL doesn't look as good. They just got blown out by the Giants at MetLife. The Giants even with Dart aren't all that good. It will still a be a tough game but maybe not as tough as we thought.

The road schedule isn't all that tough at least on paper. We will see what happens on the field which is all that matters. But if the Bills are as good as we think they are then they should handle business at Atlanta and Carolina. 

I don’t think we really know completely what kind of a team we have this year relative to the rest of the league just yet.  It kind of evolves over the entire season. 
Tampa looks real good.  Baker is on fire.  The Panthers are much improved.  As our the Pats.  
 

We have Josh Allen which is our ace card obviously.  James Cook and Kincaid if he can stay healthy.   But the team overall looks lethargic, stale and bottom tear on defense.  And plays w very little intensity which is a product of its coaching staff.  And the lack of emotion of its head coach.  
 

It’s great not to panic.  And be a leader.  But some urgency and forcefulness is needed as well.  And the willingness to make changes to our scheme so opposing teams will not have an easy time preparing for us.  Isn’t that what coaching is about.  If not, just let Josh run around and play street all game.  
 

This is 9 years of the same regime.  It really looks old and tired.  Watching Diggs run up and down the sidelines exulting all his teammates last Sunday night late in the game was something.  The Bills are missing that.  Emotion and passion do matter.

The Falcons offense will present problems for the Bills defense, but I still think the Bills win a close one. Something like 27-24. 

Other than the Jets.  What offense hasn’t presented problems for us?  We can’t stop the run consistently.  And there are always large open spaces at all levels of the field for teams to complete uncontested passes against us.  
 

it’s seems like the LB’s and DB’s have no idea where to line up a lot of the time.  
 

You just don’t see that on most of the defenses in the league.  Too much thinking.  I think it has really hindered guys like Bishop and Dorian Williams who are good athletes, but are having to think too much instead of just playing the game w speed and intensity.

The defense failing especially in the playoffs is the main reason I want to move on from McDermott. But I know that won't happen since Terry likes him as the HC.

Pats have Bucs, Bills, Ravens, and the Giants won’t be an easy W either.. also the Falcons will be a hard game as well.. as I said a young team and our run game has been bad.. I mean when your happy as a fan with the run game just because they didn’t fumble the ball for once an that’s a prbl 😂 

Geez PF I would have considered the giants and ravens.

 

my eyes slid right by them.

 

honestly, weird.

The Falcons are only a good team when they play the Bills, not the Patriots.

Don't you read this board.

NE can win the division or make the next game with the Bills important.  Their schedule is super light except for the Ravens (should have Lamar back)  but that is after we play them again on December 14th. The Bucs should play them tough and who knows about Cincy. their isn't a timeline for Burrough to return.  

The Bills have to TCOB and not rely on other teams to get them in.  

Ultimately the Bills are the better team, the Patriots are two dimensional- but their weak schedule gives them an advantage at this point.
