Oliver Still Leads Bills in TFL, 2nd in Sacks

[Kaenon]

Oliver tied for 1st in the team in TFL only having played 2.5 games with 7 TFL.

Also he is tied for 2nd on the team in sacks with 3.

 

Bernard and Bosa also have 7 TFL, but with 11 games played. 

 

It is really tough to be down Oliver and Hoecht 😞

 

2025 season feels like it's turning into the what could have been season. 

 

At least we have a Hallmark Movie 😂

Well that’s depressing.

Yep, terrible timing this year to be hit by significant injuries and regression all around.  The AFC is as wide open as ever, no team is special.  The '21-'24 Bills would have rolled through to the Super Bowl.  The '25 Bills?  Nope.

yeah Beane has no luck in FA, goes and gets key guys (miller, hoecht) and then they immediately get catastrophic, career altering (ending?) injuries.  

 

I guess, as always, Buffalo is not allowed to have nice things

 

Since the regular season is kind of a wash at this point, Let's get as healthy as possible for the season-end tournament with JA17 and see how that turns out

The Bills WILL make the playoffs. If they flub an 84% chance then i just don’t know anymore, but i highly doubt they miss them outright. If we can somehow get Oliver back by the 2nd round then the Bills have a legit shot (assuming we also have Kincaid back.) I’m holding out for a magical playoff run. The team IS talented enough IF firing on all cylinders with a SOLID OFF/DEF GAMEPLAN. We’ve seen crazier things happen in sports.

A great reflection of how awesome our drafting and Defensive Guru head coach are.

Who coulda guessed that giving a massive contract to a 33 year old pass rusher (Miller) wouldn't have worked out? Or a PED abuser in Hoecht? 

 

Beane targeted these risky guys and it blew up in his face

As of this morning, the Bills are in the 7 seed. Houston, who owns the head to head tie breaker is right behind us. The Chiefs are right behind them. 

 

I don't know what all goes into that 84%, but I can see our chances being significantly lower with the teams we face from here on out. 

 

I ran the Playoff Prediction tool a few times and the Bills made the playoffs roughly 6 out of the 10 tries. The possibility of missing the playoffs has never been more realistic. 

 

And even if they get in, do you see any world where this team shows up for 3 straight playoff games, on the road AND has a solid plan on both offense and defense? Then, avoids any in game injuries that would alter said amazing plans? I just don't this year.

Even though the Bills have been extremely inconsistent, as you say and I agree the AFC is wide open....anyone could win it.

I mean, the 7th seed I think has as good a chance as the #1 seed this year to win the conference.

I think in 2021, it was much more realistic to miss the playoffs.  We were 6-6 and in the 10th spot.

We control our own destiny, 11 wins almost for sure gets you in.  We have 4 more wins in us.

We're currently 7th in the standings and playing PIT this weekend.

If we lose to PIT, and HOU wins, we drop to 9th with h2h losses against those 2 teams and at least still sit atop KC for another week at least. 😭
