Wait, I’m confused. If we’re winning with a terrible roster, does that mean we have good coaching? That can’t be right though, because all I read on here is how bad the coaching is. So, we’re winning with a terrible roster and bad coaching? That almost defies anything that’s ever been possible in the NFL. It’d be great if people on this board would actually give credit to our front office and coaching and recognize there is no such thing as perfection in the NFL. Why start the morning after a win complaining about the roster? It’s crazy how spoiled and pessimistic folks have become. I remember more optimism during the drought years when we needed to run the table through the second half of the season and needed help from 5 other teams. Maybe try to just enjoy the game again. It’s okay to have fun and be optimistic and appreciate how amazing this era of Bills football has been and continues to be.

Well, considering we have nearly as many TDs through the air as we do on the ground…yes. Just because it doesn’t pass your eye test doesn’t mean it’s bad football. Sure, we have areas to improve. Every team does. The statistics say we’re a top offense. I’d venture a guess that no other fanbase in the league would be as pissy as this one is about an 8-4 team. The negativity on this board is both mind blowing and mind numbing.

Imagine being upset that your team leans on their star players.

Some will continue to be negative, but this is a great game plan and play calling by Brady. Not his fault the two turnovers killed us in the first half.

Tomlin looks like he wants to go to bed. So sleepy looking on the sideline.

Like a tossed salad?

I just saw some random Bills highlights that popped up on social media, and it left me with this thought. I wish Josh Allen and Lee Evan’s played at the same time.

AZ win would have been nice. Throwing an incomplete bomb on 4th and 4 when a first down keeps the game alive reminds me of something we’d do.

I’m more concerned about our run defense being wildly inconsistent than I am with it being bad. The bad weeks were really bad: Baltimore 238 NO 189 Atlanta 210 Miami (game 2) 197 TB 202 The other half of our games range from mediocre to decent: Jets 100 Miami (game 1) 130 NE 71 Carolina 114 KC 79 These last 5 average 98.8 yards per game. That would put us as the 8th best run defense on the season. Of course, it may appear we’ve only been able to keep bad rushing teams in check, but that’s not necessarily the case. On the season, for team rushing yards per game, Jets rank 5th, Carolina ranks 9th, and KC is 16th, while Miami and NE are in the bottom half of the standings. Of course, there are always the nuances of statistics. Which team averages are skewed because of one or two big games, which teams had their best rushing game against us and otherwise struggled, etc. As a whole, I take this all as us having the capability to stop the run, or at least contain it to that +/- 100 yard mark. What needs to change to be consistent. Is it the weekly game plan? Is it players missing assignments or overrunning tackles? I don’t have statistics, but to my untrained eye, we seem to be tackling better than recent years. I only say that because there seem to be fewer instances of being frustrated when we have a guy dead to rights and then let them escape for 20 yards… but I could be off on that. Changes are needed for sure, but there’s some evidence that the personnel we have can be effective.

Just can’t get out of our own way this year.

This defense continues to be trash. Can’t expect to have an offense score every time to win games.

Well…maybe I’ve already had too much to drink and am easily excited.

The skill displayed by Shavers and Palmer on their catches that drive was next level.

Is this sarcasm? I hope. Dude had his guy smoked. Ball needed to be not under thrown and more to the sideline.

This is just slightly less boring than the Raiders and Broncos game from earlier this week.
