Buffalo Bills Week 12: Buffalo (9-2), Bye Week

[HaNotsri]

The 4th down call when Allen ran for the TD was a winning coaching decision.

Not bad for a rebuild year.

So impressed with McD and Beane. Hopefully they can help us recruit a new hockey staff in summer (or during the bye week)

Putting up 30 on KC’s D with the offensive injuries we had is pretty impressive. Hopefully they drop a few more games so we can take the #1 seed away from them this year.

Hands down the best this defense has looked all season. First half was rough with worthy just by himself, but they made some good plays and stop. Offense with the winning effort just possessing the ball and keeping the Chiefs defense on the field. Bra-f***ing-vo

2nd half D was f***ing phenomenal outside of that one TD drive that put me in a doomer mood.

Monster Josh but the defense stood tall in the second half. Fun to watch after Tony Bobo kept telling us how great the chiefs d is in the second half

Good time for a bye week especially if Dawkins ankle starts to swell up over night.

I was despairing when Shakir got smoked and Dawkins went to the sideline. Thank god that the Bye is finally here.

Alright my 9ers made their season super difficult today so...

Let's go BUFFALO! ,,I,, -_- ,,I,, the chiefs and Mahomes!

I don't follow a lot of the podcasts and stuff but is Milano anywhere near coming back? I remember they were saying at the start of the year, they were saying around the bye week

My GUESS is that he's on a limited pitch count against SF, then the score will determine how much he plays against LA and Detroit......then it's full go after.

Chargers
At Broncos
Texans
At Steelers
Raiders
at browns

Then Panthers next week

I can see them losing 2-3 of them

Unfortunately, we won't be able to clinch the division before Thanksgiving thanks to Miami's win today.

That said, there are a HOST of scenarios where we can clinch with a win against SF after the bye.

And seriously, this is probably going to be the most complete field of 7 in the AFC since the NFL went to 7 teams per conference. Sitting back and watching the carnage wound be huge rather than having to play Denver/Cincinatti/LA

Frankly, I'm still not all that sold on Denver or LA. I think it's likely to be a huge advantage to be the 2nd or 3rd seed and avoid that 4v5 game that's likely to feature the 2nd place AFCN team as the 5 seed.

I'd definitely rather play them than PIT/BAL, but I think either of those two teams (DEN/LAC) are a step up from the 7's we've played in the past.

On another note 9-2 with the injuries they've dealt with is a f***ing phenominal job all around.

Wouldn’t it be amazing if the Sabres could replicate these feelings.

 

[Gabrielor]

Taking the wife to her first ever Bills game vs SF in 2 weeks.

Now I'm juiced.

 

[TheStorm]

I love you guys

 

[truthbluth]

Don’t bring that evil in here.

 

[TehDoak]

This is the perfect bye week time. The media is going to be pumping the tires hard.

Stay safe, get healthy, and come back after thanksgiving with Milano, Coleman, Kincaid, and brown and wrap up the division early.

Don’t bring that evil in here.

Yes. This is my safe space.

Ohhhhh enjoy that. We all expect a full report on her thoughts after

He was activated into th err 22 day work out window

He doesnt have to be activated till after SF game

The next fe we weeks hes plays some snaps slowly building up stamina

 

[Dubi Doo]

It's going to be a while for them. So glad we have one Buffalo team that 95% of the other teams in the league circle on their schedule to bring their absolute A game against for a chance to win.

They use to be that way. Drury and Briere were memory making machines

We couldnt if miami losr.

Both buf and jets on bye and be vs mis next week

Buffalo can clinch on Thanksgiving weekend

Jeys/Pat's eliminated with anthem losing knee or Bill's winning one
Miami magic number is 2. So in theory if Mia L next week and again on thxgvg Bills clinch with jets and Pat's L on Sunday afternoon before bills play

 

[NotABadPeriod]

My three thoughts:

1) Samuel made some plays. He may not be what we were hoping, but that's fine. We don't need him to be THE guy, but we do need him to be A guy, and he was that today.
2) McDermott keeps killing it on 4th down decisions. Twice he went for it today. He could have settled for FGs and got 6 points, instead he trusted his best player and got 7. That extra point was the difference between this being a two score game instead of a one score game at the end.
3) Bernard is going to give us a tough decision this offseason on extending an off-ball LB (with a year left on his deal). We correctly walked away from Edmunds, but Bernard is simply better. But that's a discussion for another day.
