Buffalo Bills Season's End: The Off-Seasons Starts Now

[ValJamesDuex]

Merry Christmas Bills Mafia.

Time for Santa to take a long winter's nap before his long day tomorrow

They probably would’ve gotten Music City Miracle’d if Erickson just ran straight

The Spanish broadcast showed that lane, scary

Still too soon lol.

Ed Oliver is my #1 star. Monster game.

Ed Oliver is my #1 star. Monster game.

First guy ever to have his game completely take off after signing his huge extension

 

[BowieSabresFan]

Another crushing win

Good job guys, I just aged another nine years. On to the next one…FTP.

Maybe. Benford had broken through the OL wall they had set up and could have made the play right there, I think that's why Erickson cut it back inside.

RIP Frank Wycheck. F the Titans.

Escaped from SoFi with a win, but I'll be damned if the Bills didn't try to give the game away. Phew! On to New England with playoff control in our hands!

Yeah looking at the play again, he and someone else were coming down and it would’ve been tricky for the WR to split them

NYT needle now has the bills playoff odds up to 79%. Could go as high as 89% or as low as 53% depending on how tomorrow's games go. If most games go the way of the favorites, we'll land somewhere in the 70s.

 

[Mike McDermott]

There are no style wins in the NFL and garbage of strength of schedule or strength of victory rarely come in to play in tiebreakers. The win is the important thing. If you tell me we win this way at the end of January and early February I’m signing up. Stressed but signing up. Take care of business next week and go into 18 with the biggest game of the year so far.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

OK, someone can check me on this.

To keep the 10-7 back door an option, we still need one more Cincy loss, a Steelers loss, a Broncos loss, and one of Indy/Houston to lose twice (more likely the loser of their game taking a second loss).

Cincy should lose next week to KC.
Pittsburgh should lose next week to Seattle.
Denver is a problem. This means we might need BOTH Indy and Houston to lose twice, or Browns to lose out.

Just win baby! Hats off to Ed Oliver!

This is why you need to pile those wins early in the season. So your fans aren't having heart attacks watching the f***ing hook and ladder with the season on the line. Listen here the Bills, I have a FAMILY. Please don't kill me. Blow out the patriots next week. Blow out the dolphins. In fact, make every game from here on out over at halftime. Please.

Add Jacksonville to the IND/HOU list as an additional option. I know they play TEN the last week but if they drop one to TB this week who knows in the AFC South when it comes to last week matchups.

I think you have one too many teams losing up there too. One of those doesn't have to happen. EDIT: Never mind you covered it with the "Indy or Houston" language. But they could both lose twice too. The only way it's not advantaging us is if all three of IND/HOU/JAX lose twice. Then one of them wins the divison and we only benefit from the other two, wild card race speaking.

Cleveland's a WC team (unless they lose out....which wouldn't be outrageous, honestly), then one more of the CIN/PIT/DEN/IND/HOU/JAX crowd can take up another spot (with the best of IND/HOU/JAX winning the division and thus dropping out of the conversation.) THat would leave the 7 for us.

I thought the Bills actually did pretty well considering how many things were working against them in this game. Allen was just off. It happens sometimes.

Now you're going into next week with an extra rest rest day and we get to enjoy watching Miami/Dallas tomorrow.

If the Bills can clamp down on the fumbles, they’ll be as good as anyone.

13 points off turnovers killed them.

LIterally LA's only true drive was the opening FG drive. Took over at the 30-ish on the TD drive then in FG range on another and around midfield on another.

 

[SabresFan26]

Hopefully get home, extra day off rest. Scout opponents. Get healthy. Get a few guys back next week. Take care of business and get some help from the out of town scoreboard.

But we’re not dead

The fact that Von Miller gets paid $18 million next year is absurd. The guy is cooked.

 

[Husko]

Really glad they put Cook right back out there after the fumble. To me that was growth from the coaching staff.
