Sabres Fan in NS Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) The Bills hung in there with a far superior team for 3/4 of the game. Not too bad, but not good enough. Edited December 24, 2017 by Sabersfläkt i NS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Well the only chance now is ravens amd/or titans losing next week with a bills win.... I'm sure it's not that simple, but the drought sure looks like it's gonna keep going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's not that simple, but the drought sure looks like it's gonna keep going The Ravens need to lose, or both the Titans and Chargers need to lose, I believe. If the Titans lose, we could win and end up with a head-to-head tie with the Chargers. If the Ravens lose, we'll win a 2-, 3-, or 4-way tie for the 6th seed. I think.

TrueBlueGED Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Changed my mind. Tyrod is not an average qb. He's below average. This just isn't right. Watch more NFL games. Ask yourself, is Tyrod good enough to win a playoff game? The answer is no. Therefore he's not good enough. Yes. Would I want to bet on him? No. But in a world where Joe Flacco can win multiple games en route to a championship, Tyrod can win one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm refining this to we need either a Ravens loss or a Chargers loss. We win a head-to-head tiebreaker with the Titans because of common games.

JujuFish Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 https://twitter.com/buffalobills/status/945066054505680897 In my head, the head-to-head tiebreaker used common games before conference record (maybe because that's logical). It apparently does not, unless you're breaking a tie within the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 So angry at the calls today. By the refs and the Bills. Yes. Crappy officiating does not justify handing off to Mike Tolbert on 2d and 25. Also--next week's game has been moved to 425 pm, along with all other games with AFC playoff implications. Adjust your schedules accordingly. Actually, that might make for a nice scene downtown at Buffalo's "alcohol-free" (i.e. get wasted before) New Year celebration. Instead of minor robberies, we could have a full-blown riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Santa, you continue to let me down. For years now, I've been sending you a note with only one thing on it - a championship for Buffalo fans. I've done all of the requisite things like be a good boy all year and yet you continue to give me awful cologne, ugly bedroom slippers, and a tool I'll never use. When are you gonna man up and deliver ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 We went to see Star Wars during the game, so heard through the Cheatrots tying it at 10 all on the radio then didn't catch anymore of the game, though it's on DVR. My final Christmas present to the wife is NOT watching that game. No sense being pissed off all day on Christmas. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. And Happy Holidays to all. :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dEnnis the Menace Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Yeah, maybe so ... don't see the Ravens or Chargers losing though. I'm not so sure. The Bengals Hate the Ravens, so would probably like nothing more than to play spoiler two weeks in a row (they knocked a better Detroit team out this week).

WildCard Posted December 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 "They obviously weren't looking at the same television the rest of the country was looking at, were they?" Pegula told the Buffalo Sabres' team-produced radio program. "You know what, you can probably find somebody in this country that disagrees [with the catch], and I know one guy would be [NFL senior vice president of officiating] Al Riveron sitting in New York City. "But everybody I talked to -- and they're not Bills fans and they're not necessarily anti-Patriots -- they're all baffled by that call, which just wasn't consistent with what replay [should be]." "Replay was developed by this league to correct obviously mistakes," he said. "And if you got to look at that play 30 times from five different angles, and keep looking at it, and looking at it and looking at it, you go with the call on the field. That's what the league has been doing ever since replay started. As a matter of fact, Dean Blandino, who was the head of replay last year, said last year that was a touchdown." "I can tell you this, since we've had this discussion, I'm sure I'll be having another conversation with somebody," he said. "If it's unfriendly from the other side, I can dish back on unfriendly, too, because it's a little upsetting." http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21884913/bills-owner-terry-pegula-criticizes-call-overturned-kelvin-benjamin-touchdown-new-england-patriots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I can tell you this, since we've had this discussion, I'm sure I'll be having another conversation with somebody," he said.

Drunkard Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Good on Pegula. I give him and many of his choices a lot of grief but publicly stating to the press that you're sick of smelling is one I definitely agree with. In the end they lost by 3 touchdowns anyway though.
