Bills 2024 Thread - Misery loves company

I don’t think we win but I think it’s like a 53 / 47 deal. Not 60-40 or 70-30.

I’m 80% sure that the bills have a 30% chance of winning.

As a bills fan for 30+ years, I feel very confident. That obviously means they’re going to lose.

No other way, true Bills fan

Unfortunately I don’t think we win. Absolutely need some critical turnovers. Ravens D went from bad to elite this season. Just dont see how we stop their running.

Gotta win a high scoring game

I am big time worried about the running game also. I realize we have some guys back from injury now, but what Derrick Henry did to us in that game earlier this season was sick, let alone what Lamar is capable of himself.

Agree with others, we'll have to outscore them to win, which could happen. Can't afford mistakes/turnovers on offense, which we've done a great job of avoiding this season.

They certainly could lose, I doubt they will but at this point anything other than a trip to the Super Bowl will be disappointing, there are certainly levels to this but losing any of the next 3 games would all be same stuff different day. I mean I won't feel any better losing next weekend after beating the 7th seed. I just won't, I know the logic isn't all that sound but to me I just feel it's super bowl or bust and like I said, I expect the Bills to win whether it be close or a blow out. Time to get it done.

I won't be calling for McDermott's head either way but they need to find some more talent on defense. Its the playoffs and it can get crazy at times and Payton is going to throw some serious junk their way, he's playing with house money which is a bit scary

I also could see the Ravens losing to the Steelers

Did you mean anything other than a Super Bowl win will be disappointing?I can’t imagine any Bills fan not being disappointed if they make the Super Bowl and lose.I mean there is a narrative about the Buffalo Bills that ain’t going away until they hoist the Lombardi trophy.

If the Bills can get by KC then its definitely a successful year. Of course if they lose in the SB it will be very disappointing but the season was still a massive success.

100%. If they win the AFC it will be a very successful year. Lose one of the next two, extremely disappointing because they can't break through the next level. Same season different year. The Bills have established themselves as a very good regular season team, the only way they change perception is to make the Super Bowl and yeah eventually win it but getting there with a chance to win is 100% a success for the entire organization. Next two weeks are a gauntlet for sure. 3 of the best 4 Qb's (burrow) in the league left in the AFC

The Ravens are in the same boat as well but their coach does have a SB title

Plus no one is talking about Playoff Lamar.

not yet but one thing is for sure the talking heads will be having a field day next Monday roasting the loser of the game.

I'm going to be in Buffalo this weekend and my buddy is trying to talk me into getting tix, but I still have PTSD from the Chiefs playoff game last year. When the game ended, I was walking out of my row and took an icy snowball launched from the upper deck right to my cheek. I was so numb (from the cold and the loss) that I didn't even flinch. Then, after sitting in the car in the parking lot for two hours without moving a single foot, I told myself "never again." Yet, here I am, contemplating doing it again.

I know its only a point difference and the opponent is probably better this year but its incredible to me Vegas liked us more in that game last yr with a practice squad defense on 2 days short rest. And who would've liked our chances in Baltimore the next week anyways. Definitely better vibes this year fwiw.

I do think we'll play a much better game than we did earlier in the season against them, but man, it really is difficult watching your team's season end in person. On the flip side, it'd be incredible to be there if they pull it off and win.

Kind of similar history of coming up short and finally getting to see them win: I was in Cleveland to watch my beloved Cubs win Game 7 of the World Series and break their century long drought. It was maybe the best feeling I've had in my life and I am a very happily married man lol. When they finally won the game, I was literally crying and hugging with complete strangers and just watching a highlight from the game is enough to make me well up again.

 

[Orangello]

OT I know but this made me laugh out loud. Go Bills !

 

[SmilinBob]

Because those are percentages not scores

I was just kidding around Steve and trying to be funny, I guess the joke is on me.

I said "never again" on every Monday for almost 2 decades of lousy Bills football.

Line has shifted to Baltimore -1.

 

[NineOneSeven]

We were missing Milano, Bernard, Johnson, Von, Rapp (1/2 the game), and did not have Cooper last time we played.

One could argue we still do not have Cooper lol
