Fans of the Buffalo Bills probably don’t care much for the latest results of our Reacts poll. First of all, they’re late getting to you as they should have been shared ahead of Thursday Night Football. Despite that, it’s worth showing where people were at in general ahead of the Week 12 game that turned into a disappointing loss.
On the heels of a points explosion in victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and heading into Thursday’s game against Houston, Rumblers were a bit reticent to buy the hype
— where just 38% of voters were confident in the current direction of the team. It’s not quite the jump I was expecting after seeing quarterback Josh Allen and company put together a dominating effort, but… that defense.
Yet, the offense had an opportunity to win the game at the end of regulation, only to come up short. This, after converting a 4th & 27 on the most unlikely of plays — just add it to the list of “Billsy” losses.
Thinking ahead, one would imagine this number looks very different when we ask readers the same question ahead of Week 13 at the Pittsburgh Steelers. We’ll of course wait for now and allow this space to serve as more postgame wound cleansing.
Remember, the Bills are 7-4 and positioned for postseason play at the moment. The trouble is that they keep dropping games that are very important to the playoff formula.
Here’s how fans of the then 5-5 Houston Texans felt heading into the Week 12 matchup with the Bills:
Things didn’t go Buffalo’s way as we know, but they led among voters as the overwhelming pick to win in Week 12. Oops!
