Ryan O'Halloran: Close the Super Bowl window – Bills will finish with losing record
buffalonews.com
The leaves at the end of your driveway have yet to be picked up, the Christmas decorations are just now getting unpacked and we are still awaiting the initial stick-to-the-ground-and-stays-there snowfall. And the Buffalo Bills’ season is over. Done.

    The Super Bowl window will be open as long as Josh is the QB. I understand everything has to be clickbait but let’s settle down.

    It’s crazy to declare Buffalo’s Super Bowl window closed. They still have Josh Allen, who is having a bad year but still a top QB, and a lot can happen in a short period of time. Maybe they have a great draft, or a few players have career years next season, and just like that they’re contending for the title.

    I fell for this with GB more than once, the Packers won like 6 games in 2018 and the window was definitely closed right? No they then had the best 3 year stretch in Rodgers career record wise….

    It’s a down year, it happens, the windows isn’t closed yet lmao…

    Window was never open to begin with! 😂 Delusional AF if you think Josh “The Alien” Allen will bring that fanbase a Lombardi!

    Wide Right, the Music City Miracle, and 13 Seconds are the types of playoff losses that franchises do not recover from.

    Imagine being the loser of three nicknamed playoff losses. Most franchises only have one or two.

    hot take to call the losing record. yes they have a tough schedule, but they can absolutely come out of it 9-8

    They are likely to be 5-8 after this tough stretch and they’ve already lost to the pats and jets so they can’t assume those are wins either. I would not be shocked if they didn’t win another game. I would also not be shocked if they didn’t lose another game.

    Time for everyone to accept what this team is: a talented football roster with poor coaching and aging pieces of the nucleus who need replaced. Under different leadership this team is somewhere around 7-2/6-3 right now. Ousting Dorsey is a temporizing measure before ultimately the whole regime changes over and fresh ideas can possibly take the Bills to the promised land. Bills Super Bowl 2026 baby

    Close the window sounds dramatic, but yeah this is probably a lost season. Brutal schedule left.

      Bills LOVE playing down and up to their competition. For example see Dolphins game and compare that to Giants, Pats, Bucs, Broncos. In some insane way I’m relieved to see them face way better competition

    I mean, yeah it’s definitely possible for them to finish with a losing record based on the remaining schedule.

    Jets (lost to them in Week 1)

    @ Philly

    Bye

    @ KC

    Dallas

    @ LA Chargers

    Patriots (lost to them in Week 7)

    @ Miami

      I’d be surprised if they win another game. Seriously, what reason do I have to be optimistic? Every game now I’m going in expecting them to lose.

      Last night changed everything.

    Everyone who watched the Vikings last year knew they weren’t as good as their 13-3 record and that absolutely no one should be afraid to see them in the playoffs. Bills are on the other side of that spectrum this year. Advanced analytics often paint a clearer picture than just wins and losses and the Bills are definitely better than their record. And, when they make the playoffs they should be a hard out even on the road.
