Me watching this game yesterday.

Bucs v Bills slugfest had nine lead changes, which is tied for the 2nd most in NFL history.

Kyle Brandt with the most sobering, accurate breakdown of the current state of Buffalo that truly makes you loathe Brandon Beane. 
 

He doesn’t say we can’t win it, we can.. because we have 17.  
 
But it looks like, again, 17 has to be elite 4 games in a row to win a Super Bowl. 
 

If he’s elite in a couple and good in one, we lose the game he’s only good in and it’s rinse/repeat.

Just happy that Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were not playing and out injured or things might have been different. BTW, who the heck is Sean Tucker? Buffalo had better fix their run defense because it looks like my peepaw could rush for 100 yards against them.🤯

It seemed like the Nickel with Taron got gashed and the base run D was better.

McClappy is very stubborn. Taron is cooked. Milano is cooked.

 

Love em both but they both need to take step back.

Another BTW, Beane and McDermott just celebrated their 100th win! 💯

We've had God Mode Allen in the playoffs and it hasn't mattered.

He always is in the playoffs...he is among the best playoff QB's in the history of the NFL and takes his game to another level.  It's the defense that holds them back most times.

Yea but what QB who wins the Super Bowl ISNT boderline elite throughout the playoffs?

 

Hurts last year:

4 games: 10 TDs, 2 TOs

 

Mahomes the year before:

6 TDs 1 TO

 

The year before that:

7 TDs 1 TO (3 games)

 

Being elite doesn't mean putting up Allen's stat line from yesterday.  Allen had 2 BAD turnovers that will not work against the great teams.  Hurts and Mahomes were elite in their SB campaigns because they protected the ball AND help drive offense.

 

The defense isn't super bowl calibre yet, but it wasn't that way at this time of the year last year either.  Last year we had Rams and Lion back to back that showed our defense was an issue.  The team needs to grow, which is why Beane invested so much into the defense when fans were complaining that the offense needed more talent.  Now people are mad that the investment hasn't paid off, but the goal is for it to improve over the next 7 weeks as we get into the postseason.

But who doesn’t? I get that it’s cool to doom gasp and anoint the Pats right now, but the conference is wide open still. People still act as if the Bills are a playoff outlier and not right in the middle of it all 

Nothing doom and gloom about it 

 

I’m not interested in just making the playoff, we have done that for years now. when is the expectation to actually win it, you aren’t going to have this version of Josh forever. 
 

you think this team is built in a way it can win it all, strongly disagree unless Josh hero’s them to it
