Division is out at this point…have to do it as a wildcard

[Buffalo Ballin]

WHAT

 

Always do our best to make the playoffs. Always. Gotta get reps and experience. Those 2 things are always a positive. Never a negative.

And common thread in those losses? Allen had looked below average in all of them and yet if he plays average we might win at least two of them.

 

You're not going to look perfect when your pass blocking gives up EIGHT sacks on your QB and he's under pressure and hit even more than that. Without taking into account multiple times when he stayed down on the ground. And when your weapons aren't getting open and you have to force throws, playing from behind - as has been the case practically all season.

 

I said it all offseason, even before we saw how poor our pass catching unit would be, that expecting him to be the perfect MVP player he was last year every single season isn't fair to him. We're now at a point where anything less than perfect is "below average". And that also isn't fair to him.

why should we even watch then? why re you posting at 1am instead of sleeping. We're all frustrated, but, unlike with the abortion called the Sabres, there's always hope with the Bills 

 

I can't tell you why you should or shouldn't watch the Bills this season. That's up to the person. Personally, i'll always cheer them on every weekend and hope we win. But you have to have literal blind optimism and a ridiculous level of homerism to ignore all the many issues with this team beyond the build of the roster to honestly think we have a shot to win a Super Bowl with this team.

What does it matter? This team is in no way a championship contender, and that's the only point of going to the playoffs. It might be better if they don't make it.

Missing the playoffs entirely could force staff and player changes, refocus some of our veteran players, and create a fire for next season. A week 1 or 2 exit in the playoffs will result in the same thing we've seen the last 7 years.

I think this team is too flawed to do it, but if there was a year make a run as a wildcard, this is the year.  Broncos, Patriots, Colts, and Steelers have not won a playoff game since 2018 or earlier. Experience does matter in the playoffs. Bills, Ravens or Chiefs could find a way to beat inexperienced teams with young or mediocre quarterbacks. 

[Buffalo Ballin]

Nah.

 

Always make the playoffs regardless of the coaching crew and players. We have what we have. 

 

Do some of y'all realize how difficult it is to get into the playoffs?

 

Before Josh Allen, we were in a 18 year playoff drought. 18 years. We don't want to miss the playoffs unless Josh Allen is out.

If Wildcard is what it takes to be in the playoffs, that fine by me.

I’d rather them not get in.  This team has zero chance to win the Super Bowl 

[Buffalo Ballin]

So what?

 

Just get in the playoffs, brahs. If y'all don't want us to be in the playoffs, might as well stop supporting the team.  And don't bother watching the playoffs when we land into Wildcard Weekend.

 

First, some of y'all wanted to bench Josh Allen.

Now, y'all don't want to make playoffs.

 

What happened here? The Loser Mentality is creeping in.

No loser mentality at all.  They just aren’t good.  I think they’ll be one and done if they get in.  Just my opinion 

[Buffalo Ballin]

Yet good enough to make playoffs.

 

This is the Super Bowl or Bust crowd, yeah?

 

After the 3rd week, y'all should have known that we're not Super Bowl worthy. Again, that doesn't matter though. Just make playoffs anyway.

Well, silver lining is if we clinch a WC spot early but can’t win the division, maybe we rest guys so that we aren’t the 5 seed lined up to play the Ravens.  Would rather play one of the other division winners in Round 1, and then if we won as the 6 or 7 seed, we’d likely then play whomever the 1 seed is.

Ravens aren't even in playoff spot now. They are in the 10th spot behind the chiefs

Even if we were lucky enough to move on from McBean, the large  contracts given to average/injury prone players have set the franchise behind for years.

Twas a playoff preview again. More physical teams will more often than not beat us. McDermott has taken us as far as he can.
