Silver lining takes only

Someone give me hope 

 

I guess with Allen, and if we can get relatively healthy in a completely open AFC anything can happen?

 

🤷

Last year we were doing great basically all season but I never thought we had a shot. This year has been a constant struggle, but I have this weird feeling we’re going to win it all.

Silver lining is Cook ran for over 100.

 

Defense did have some good stop in the 4th to at least give the offense a chance to win. 

 

Cole Bishop remains the best player on the defense. 

 

Bosa is still healthy.

We will play in the playoffs as a 7 seed underdog with a chip on our shoulders. It’s a weak afc this year

Bills seem to be going through the motions but get up for big games.   They don’t get bigger than the Playoffs. 
 

Offense will likely look less clunky because they will use JA designed runs to loosen up the Defense.  They clearly, in recent years, hold that element back for big games and the postseason.

I watched a 10-6 Giants team that squeaked into the playoffs beat an undefeated Patriots team in the SB on a last minute game winning drive. Does that help?

The Bills will finish ranked about #10. That's good draft position and waiver wire select order.

Thru good fortune Josh isn't in traction, sure didn't look like his line wanted to protect him Thursday night.

 

We have James Cook.

 

Shakir is a new dad.

 

Bishop seems to be getting it.

This goes against my pessimistic nature but here goes. 

 

 Texans had 8 sacks , Allen under pressure all game. Coaches made every attempt to loose the game however we were in position to win the game.

we don't have the browns QB room

Right, Bills fans, a famously spoiled fanbase.

That was such a ludicrous take. How could any bills fan NOT want more than playoff exits

The best thing that ever happened to this 2025 team was getting 45 and 58 on the field together.  It sucks that it took an injury to get the good guys in but we are here. If we could ever get Tarron Johnson out we might have something. Against Carolina and against Houston post Bernard were the two times I felt good about our defense in years. If we can stop people, we can win this whole thing. The offense will figure it out. The offense will be fine. If we play Thompson and Milano, we might have something here. Bernard and Tarron Johnson have been killing us for months. IMO the single most important event of the Bills season might have happened in that second half against Houston. Hate it for the reasoning but we are here now. And it might have saved us. God knows the coach was never going to do it on his own.

Against KC, no Johnson, no Rapp, playing Cam Lewis and a combination of Poyer and Hancock they forced Mahomes into his worst game as a pro. I was never a fan of Lewis, but I’ve come around to the stability and flexibility he brings. Get Johnson off the field. The proof is on the film. But McD is too ####### stubborn to do it any other way but his. Silver lining, at some point all coaches get fired. Regardless of when, after Thursday there is one less game to watch with McD as coach.

The Sabres are within one game of being .500

What? They have won 8 of 21 games.

They’re 8-9-4 with 20 pts. If you consider 0.500 as getting half of the available points, they’re 1 win from being a 0.500 team. 

[Another Fan]

The Houston game was a classic trap game that fell very obnoxiously on the schedule.  Traveling half across the country on short notice after a tough win a few days before

I dunno about silver lining but the Bills will probably still win enough games to get the last WC spot. Either KC or the Ravens probably wont make it this year. Maybe both. Depends on the next few games. If the Colts beat KC then their season is pretty much over.

 

Another silver lining... After all that brutality Josh took, he isn't dead. He will probably hide some injury the rest of the year though. Twice his wrist on his throwing hand he was shaking off so there is something there.

I have 2 other options:

 

1.  Our atmosphere totally evaporates, leaving the scorched earth you mentioned

2. Our sun, a star, burns out, leaving us in darkness and ice.  Of course, if the sun burns out, that may also eliminate its magnetism and the pull of planets in their orbits.  Those of that survive may then find out if it’s all just space out there, or that the earth lands on something.

how did you become so cynical?

I wouldn't say its weak. I'd say there is a shuffle this year. Pats have a balanced offense and defense that are both good. Not great but good. Denver has just as tough a defense as Houston. Colts are pretty balanced as well unless Danny Dimes turns into a pumpkin. Ravens can still be dangerous. Oddly Cinci could still make a run and now Burrow is back I think. KC can maybe turn it on still but I'm not sold on that. Houston could still make the playoffs and do damage because of that defense. They have won 3 in a row now.

[Scott7975]

OK I will give one more that I just thought of...

 

That one play where Allen passed the ball to Palmer and then he pitched it to Shakir in a gotta have it play was a thing of freaking beauty. I think its like the only creative thing I have seen Brady do. He was probably trying to save that for the playoffs.

That's point percentage not winning percentage.
