Bills 2024 Thread - Misery loves company

[STEVEHOLT]

This might sound crazy, but I don't think the Bills/Lions game will end up being all that important to Buffalo.

Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but even with a loss there, I'm pretty confident the Bills will end up being the 2 seed in the AFC. They have three layup games to finish the season with Patriots, Jets, Patriots. Catching KC is probably unlikely at this point, and the Steelers have a brutal upcoming schedule with Eagles/Ravens/Chiefs.

Layup games ? lol. No .

 

[syrBossHogg]

So how bad is our defense ? Rams offense has done nothing the week before and the week after playing us .

Imagine thinking an offense with Stafford Kupp K Williams and Nacua is bad

This fanbase

 

[Toga]

Stafford with 35 passing yards halfway through the 3rd quarter. What.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Do

This fanbase

imagine pretending an offense getting shut down 2/3 weeks by but destroying ours isn’t something to be concerned about

I know the Chiefs are a witch but closing 2-2 is not far fetched at all.
People worrying about the Steelers are misguided, agreed.

For NFL standards Patriots/Jets/Patriots who have zero to play for aren't layups?

Pittsburgh has a 65% of winning the North. All they need to do is beat Baltimore and the division is over. They could lose the rest of their games and it wouldn't matter. Personally I think Baltimore is quite overrated. They are two missed Evan McPherson FG’s away from being 6-7 and have played .500 ball the past two months.

They're probably going to be tied after next week. Pittsburgh is one to talk about lucky opponent missed FGs.

I am concerned for sure.
We had no answers on that side at the end of the 2nd Miami game..
Indy moved the ball & Flacco sorta bailed us out.
KC, 21 is a decent output for them.
SF game was obviously pretty lucky.

Not a lot of good data points on D the last couple months outside of Seattle.
Maybe Oliver has a bizzaro season where he actually shows up for the playoffs after no-showing all year?

The weather was pretty awful, no?

I think Pittsburgh beats Philly. Lot's of drama there. Baltimore played their best overall game of the year against the Bills. Otherwise their defense has not been good. They are 24th in points and 22nd in yards.

They're definitely not a perfect team. Nor are the Bills (note above) or Chiefs, whose pass D metrics are quite bad since losing their CB2.
I'd actually listen to the case for Pittsburgh as the most complete team in the conf. But those aren't typically the teams that win in the playoffs.

The Chiefs are the Vikings of two years ago. If they get to the SB this year I give up. Mahomes has been a league average QB for the last 35 games outside of crunch time.

Chiefs used to win on talent. Now they win in the margins. They simply don’t beat themselves . Or at the very least , their opponents tend to inflict more damage on themselves than they do.

They make their kicks. They don’t fumble snaps . They don’t call dumb TO’s. They don’t have 12 men on the field during what should have been a game losing FG miss.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Jameis is single-handedly losing this game for the browns

 

[STEVEHOLT]

keep chopping wood. . Haven’t won anything yet

 

[NineOneSeven]

3rd and long is going to sink this team. Really sick of it. RUSH MORE THAN 4.

It's the Robinson rush 4 on 3rd and long but nfl version. Of course we've also just missed about 3 sacks against Goff as well

 

[NineOneSeven]

Allen is the best player in the NFL. Get your team together, coach.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Can’t false start there,

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Can’t false start there,

That’s not the real issue. The real issue is why not just sneak it? Last week they claimed the sneak was so far and away their best chance to score that they were willing to put the entire game on 1 shot running it. Now they have two plays to get 1 yard and they don’t run it. Classic bills stupidity

Fn Bass, useless

They will always beat themselves in the end .

 

[NineOneSeven]

Alright got off field. Rushed 5. And missed FG. Time to score again.

Never fails, ever
