4 of those 5 aforementioned double digits wins I described and a comeback that you guys duly pointed out for weeks after it happened.

Nothing like a Josh Allen comeback after the offence threw up all over itself for 3 quarters against a bunch of crappy teams.

Skinner...
Big, big change from last season to this season...all data from Natural Stat Trick game log summaries.
- reduced TOI by 28%
- reduced Shots by 17%
- reduced High Danger Opportunities by 25%
- came down off unsustainably high Shot % of 16+% to closer to his career average of 10.8%, enjoying a current rate of 11.8%

2018/2019
Avg TOI = 18:30
Avg Shots per game = 3.3
Avg High Danger Shots per Game = 1.6
Shooting Percentage = 16.9%

2019/2020 YTD
Avg TOI = 13:22

- IonSabres[-28%]
Avg Shots per game = 2.7 [-17%]
Avg High Danger Shots per Game = 1.2 [-25%]
Shooting Percentage = 11.8% [-30%]

Want more scoring...
Play more with guys who can set-up a proven finisher at 5v5...and get him the puck in prime scoring areas.
It really is pretty simple...it's on Botts to maximize one of the best 5v5 scorers in the game.

Go get Getz Jason!!!


Maybe they are trying to nudge him towards a lack of love for the game and a trade request

I need to know how much more impressive the Vikings 0 wins over teams with winning records is than the Bills 2 wins. On a scale of 0-to-Broncos

I think u mean “Broncos - 100”

This year is the outlier. 3/4 of the AFC is dreadful and the 6th seed in the NFC would be the 2nd best team in the AFC.

The fact that one of Philly/Dallas earns a playoff spot is a mockery however.

“If things that are impossible were possible things would be different.”

These are truly, the weakest takes in sports fandom.
It’s like saying, “if the Bills could use swords, and if Clemson joined the AFC East..”
Like, develop your thoughts..write something down before you post it. You come off as hollow, and unenlightened.

The day after the Bills clinch, this is how this clown is spending the night.
Your life is pointless and the Bills are in the playoffs.

I mean amongst other things. Covering a few options positions, watching the Saints, hit an hour long lift, did some Christmas shopping.

Cool man, you still lack any charisma or charm. Your posts are weak and you come off as truly unlikable.

Do you think you could maybe give your finger a lift and slam that ‘Logout’ button bro? Maybe stay gone for a couple months? I can assure, we won’t send a search party for the sh*tposting Canadian who no one likes.

You’re embarrassing. And with posts like these, in a thread about Buffalo sports, the day after the Bills clinch..we’ll, it’s obvious that you have little respect for your peers here.

If you’re ever wondering, if people are right when they call you an a**hole, bookmark this post.

There are several cities that don’t even bat an eyelash to playoff appearances as it is an expectation. I hope the city of Buffalo can join those cities.

Other than that he’s reasonable I swear

I like flaccoville/pegullaville.

He's just trolling. Probably feeling the pressure of being a Denver fan surrounded by Bill's fans.

Similar to being a Sabres fan living around leafs fans 🤔

I’ve said everything I needed to say. All that’s left is to watch the games. We’ll see what the playoffs has in store for each conference and the quality of games.

This.

He's a kid, with a lot to learn, and some humbling experiences surely ahead of him. Unfortunately, he's going to learn the hard way just like many of us.

(frank) Doug Marrone. ESPN had on the ticker that 25% of all player grievances against staff are from Jacksonville.

See this whole thing started due to the fact that I said that I thought Flacco would be an average QB and ride a strong running game and defence and have the Broncos in the playoff hunt.

That ultimately didn’t happen for the Broncos, however Flacco proving to be below average instead of average paled in comparison to the disappointing ground game and the defence caving in at the worst times.

The Bills however, were able to field a top 3-5 defence, have an emerging star at the RB position and Josh Allen is making enough plays with his arm and his legs.

The Broncos prediction was off, but the Bills are living proof that you don’t need top tier QB play if you have a strong defence and play to the strengths of that defence with a balanced offensive attack.
