The last 2 NFL games I attended Cleveland beat Buffalo 8-0 and then 6-3. Once in Cleveland, once in Buffalo. Derek Anderson threw for 23 yards on a 2-17 performance and beat us. I've never gone to another game again. 1 1

That team is a ***** show and Buffalo need to capitalize.

Including, most notably, the Ravens player pulling Lamar forward into the end zone. This is 10000000% illegal to do. I saw an article recently (posted here, perhaps? or on Facebook maybe) that said the biggest difference in home field advantage overall in sports is that the home team tends to get more favorable calls. Crowd noise and several other factors were analyzed statistically in several sports and found to be insignificant contributors.

Someone here is clapping so hard and so often that the only reasonable conclusion I can come to is McDermott is his idol. My favorite Bills Backer bar experience was the guy who would scream out "that's holding!" on every single defensive play. And he wasn't doing it in a self-aware joking mode, he was dead serious. And just for the hell of it, I'll throw this one out there. The Bills now control their own destiny for home field advantage.?

Gatorman0519 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Posted November 4, 2019 1 hour ago, inkman said: I put more stock in Vegas The Vegas folks base their bets on what they objectively see. Unless you are a Bills homer, it’s pretty clear this is the most flawed 6-2 team in years. The Browns Talent wise on paper, could destroy the Bills if they play together. The Bills simply do not have a star studded roster nor a proven franchise QB. They are winning by coaching and some luck. Props to McDermott.
Taro T Posted November 4, 2019 Report Posted November 4, 2019 17 hours ago, inkman said: I'm still not sold on them making the playoffs. If they play like they did today, they may not win another. They will most likely be 9-3 (if no actual upsets either way (winning in Cleveland doesn't count as an upset even if they are 2.5 point dogs)) and then that's where it gets interesting. Win 1 of the final 4 and they're hoping tiebreakers are in their favor. (Get swept and they need another Cincy miracle.) Win a pair and they're very likely the top wildcard. Find a way to steal a win against the Cheatriots or the omen birds along with that and they will be top wildcard or shockingly division winners. All with a good but not great team that had the good fortune of finally getting a schedule with 10+ cupcakes on it. (Everybody else lucks into that schedule every 3-4 years. About time Buffalo gets it.) And, the AFC is bad this year. The Bills with all their flaws could legitimately be 1 of the 4 best and playing in a division with 2 teams that have exactly 1 win apiece half way through their schedules which should give them a couple of freebies (in the standings, not necessarily on the field) that they normally don't get.

sabills Posted November 4, 2019 Report Posted November 4, 2019 The Bills haven't won 10 games in a year since 1999 and I think they miss it again this year. I'd put money on three more wins. Might still be enough for playoffs.

Beating the Browns, Broncos, Dolphins and Jets would just be more of the same from this season.

Honestly at this point the only win I'd put money on is the Jets who are a tire fire.

If either or both combined with other 4 should put them @ 12 wins. That being said O struggles make any of this schedule a question mark. Edited November 4, 2019 by North Buffalo
