2025 Buffalo Bills

[leftwinger]

I don't know. I just watched the Bills play Cinci today and Cinci has a few good players but generally is not a good team and Cincinnati was killing them. It was not until there was 5 minutes left in the game that Buffalo finally pulled into the lead (and eventually won the game) because Burrows had a rare and uncharacteristic pass to his WR lobbed just a little too low and swatted down and intercepted by a defender who then ran it back 10 yards for a TD.

The Bills won, but they kind of lucked into it, not the kind of performance that gets you into a Super Bowl.

Yep, CIN had them knocked down but surpringly Burrowvscrew up twice, on a 63 yard almost hand-off interception late that BUFF needed badly. Then right after, another wounded duck INT.

I think CIN has to be done now with 9 losses?

Bengals dropped a ton of balls; right in their fk'n hands! Cincy had this game in hand & blew it!

Yeah, I was kind of jumping in and out trying to watch it during breaks between Pittsburgh and Baltimore, so there was a lot I missed. They have Burrows but there is a reason they are 4-9. Shame as they were in the lead beating Buffalo right up to about the last 5 minutes, but then things just fell apart for them.

A good sign for the Bills was that unlike Cincinnati, the Bills hung on and actually grew in strength as the game progressed, pulling out a win when needed instead of fizzling away, but I still don't see them as anything more than maybe blipping through the Playoffs in 1-2 games until someone like the Pats, Broncos, Jags or the Seahawks put them in their place.

I did see the play where the Bills caught a TD in the End Zone, but lost it and turned it over to Cincinnati. The thing is, Cincinnati is just not that good and they lead the Bills through 95% of the game and nearly beat them.

Oh yeah, if Cinci had any gas left in the tank, they would have shown it today by not making dumb mistakes and beating the Bills, but at 4-9 and especially with everyone else in the AFC North losing today except the Steelers, I'd say they have almost zero chance now of going anywhere this year.

That play where Burrows just lobbed a pass to Chase on like the 20 yard line and the Bills defender just jumped up, grabbed the ball out of the air to run it back for 6 points has to be pretty haunting to the team.

I think the Bills will win on Sunday over the Patriots. Josh Allen will have two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns and James Cook will have two rushing touchdowns.

Maybe. The Pats are very HOT. The Bills do best playing at home. But the Bills cannot afford to lose the game.

I agree. it's a huge game for the Bills. I think the Bills will put up 42 points tomorrow.

Anyone look at the weather? I'd normally predict a high score, but temps. & conditions could determine things to be more of a defensive battle! ATL, Miami, & Houston proved Allen can be stymied, cutting down on those high stats accustommed!

Yeah. That was the thoughts in BUFF snow game too. I played outside enough to know offense has advantage on slippery snow. The offense knows where it is going. Defense has to change directions mire quickly. IMVHO.

If not windy. If you can see. You can score. IMVHO

good point. I do not know what the weather will be like in New England. It is shocking that the Indy Colts may not make the playoffs. Good luck to Philip Rivers!

Well it's been all New England so far as the Patriots have dominated the 1st Half, 24-7!

Pretty damn good prediction! Bills win 35-31 when they trailed 21-0!

Drake Maye was not sharp. In his defense, it was freezing rain/sleet most of the game. His first long completion to Boutte should have been ruled incomplete, as it did hit the ground and containment was momentarily lost. The throw forced Boutte to dive for it. Many of Drake's throws were not very accurate, and he absolutely sucked in Q4.

Vrabel is a good coach, but his D got tired in the second half, and he kept Chaisson and Landry out there when they were tired. Ponder got like 5 snaps on D all game, stupid. Should've rotated more as the Bill O came alive.

NE just forget how to play in the 2nd half! They were unwatchable! Lucky my Bears def. Browns!

Come on man, give Allen and the Bills credit. Coming back from 21-0 down on the road is big time.

Showed heart. A lot of Allen's passes were not on target either. Great job scrambling when needed.

I think the Bills will clinch a playoff spot tomorrow with a win over the Browns. the game is not on TV down here, so I'll be watching the highlights and the score on NFL Network.

I was rather lucky as a fan of those 90's teams! Somehow, I never missed a Bills game, even though I moved from Chicago to Sacramento in Cal.! They always seemed to be on regional & Nat'l TV, slowly being worn down w/ so much success yr. after yr.! The same thing finally happened to our Chiefs! Luckily for them, Mahomes' a lot younger than Kelly; though just as beat up!

I believe the Bills will win a Super Bowl before the Sabres win a Stanley Cup. I think the Buffalo Bills will play either the Philadelphia Eagles or the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 60. I cannot wait to watch the celebration in Buffalo and Western New York!

The Bills should not play their starters tomorrow, especially Josh Allen who injured his foot. The Bills have already clinched a playoff spot and need not worry about losing these last two regular season games. Us fans can relax while watching our Bills play tomorrow.
