Bills 2024 Thread - Misery loves company

[upperdeck]

Just finish drives. Texans got in range like 7 times and got 2 FGs and a TD. That and the 2 short field scores flip the game to KC.

So go against what has been successful this year and in addition rack up 15 yard penalties by hitting mahomes late is the way to beat a 17-1 team? Perfect

The gameplan from yesterday is not beating the Chiefs in Arrowhead. Way too conservative in the second half. If Allen throws for less than 150 the Bills aren’t winning.

 

[Melancer46]

Network announcers keep talking like game goes straight to OT but for the drop. Bills had like 1:33 and three timeouts even if the conversion was good right?

Two timeouts since we burned one before kicking the field goal, but yeah, had plenty of time to go down and win the game, which is why I was happy with us kicking the field goal even though the analytics suggest going for it.

Ok

As someone whos jumped on the Bills bandwagon(the Saints suck), this has to be their year. This version of the Chiefs is on borrowed time and not very good. It's their weakest offense since Mahomes has been there and the defense is not as good as it has been. The Bills have no reason to not put it to KC. There needs to be better and more aggressive play calling than yesterday and they need to come after Mahomes and hit him. Don't worry about getting a personal foul penalty.

Cause you’re going to get called for the penalty any way

The Ravens are the first team in the history of the NFL (regular season or playoffs) to:

-rush for 175 yards
-complete 70% of passes
-average 10 yards per completion
-convert 70% of third downs
-no punts
-no missed field goals

...and lose.

interesting but I think 3 turnovers kinda washes the no punt stat out, thats about 75-100 yds of field position changes

Well yeah. That’s the point. Turnovers were the game.

I feel like their offense right now is pretty clearly better than last year. They're so annoyingly automatic on 3rd & medium.

I do think the defense while good, may be a bit overrated (like ours used to be in prior matchups...role reversal hopefully?).
The amount of "opponent injury luck" they've had is insane:
No Tee Higgins vs Cincy, ATL lost 2 OLmen, no Evans/Godwin vs Tampa, SF lost every WR, LA had no Tackles and then McConkey, and then Dell/Diggs..

First half was fine… they didn’t adjust in the 2nd when the ravens starting playing for the run.

Really hope Benford can play, would be a massive loss.

Also Hyde isn't playing on Sunday so no reason to speculate on that

Yah, our D has posted some real duds in games where the secondary was less than full strength, like the 2nd Miami game he missed.
Of course the Chiefs have no injuries to speak of as per usual this time of year.

 

[kirbivore]

I hate the Chiefs as much as anyone but I'm resigned to them winning. Goodell will make it so.

 

[Newhouser]

Buffalo is better and will beat the Chiefs. Somebody other than Burrow needs to get a W against Mahomes.

They are 5-5 in their last 10. Obviously playoff wins are more important.

Mahomes: Refs not giving favorable calls to Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes said the Chiefs aren't getting favorable treatment from officials, who are "doing their best to call the game as fair and as proper as they possibly can."

Seriously? I dislike the Chiefs more and more all the time.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Yeah we won but we were +3 turnover and allowed another late score and bailed out by a drop.

Nah. Buffalo would have needed 50 yards for a FG. Buffalo was not losing

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I’m 100% rooting for the Bills but I love Lamar and people will blame him for this loss even though it’s undeserved.

Comes with the position, plus two What turnovers.

Lamar is a generational player. Now he needs to be a generational winner

 

[shandeezy7]

Some plain as day evidence that the defense and coaching let Josh Allen down. Time to change that this weekend.

I saw that too. So gross.

This is what I’m finally hoping for in this latest edition of a playoff game against the Chiefs.
