PromoTheRobot Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Tough loss. This is Cinci again. We have trouble with physical teams. But we lost two games by 6 points. Refs job us at every turn, but the Bills are in it till the end. Better than being quitters. The season is going to be a tough slog but I think they have the heart to pull it out. Just my feeling.

Phil Hansen Forever Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Fitz is just human. He threw two horrible passes, and was really shook up after that sack. I give him a 8 out of 10 for a good game. I wonder why we are keeping Merriman around. He can't play a whole game, you would think he would go IR and get someone on the defense that will fight.

NEPA Bills Fan Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 PTR, Great minds think alike. Still a year away. Getting there. Bill Nation needs to recognize that we are still in the Implementing phase of Chix. All of the pieces are starting to gel. We'll pay Steve and Fred. Stevie longer but regardless' they'll get paid. Fitz isn't worth elite QB money. I love him' dont get me wrong' but as the business knows' hes still a 7th rounder. We need him though. He will take us there. Sorry I am ranting. Today sucks because we lost and I hate the Gmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SelmonSmith6378 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 The only thing I find even REMOTLEY reddemable about this loss is that we lost to Tom Coughlin, and he;s one of my favorite coaches.

CSBill Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I feel real good about 4-2, and even the two loses came down to the last minute.

Geno Smith's Arm Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think they will lose 1 or 2 at home, and win 3 or 4 on the road = 10-6. They will be a better road team later in the season. Being a young team, they are still gathering experience, and even in losses with guys out, the backups are getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Seriously? What is wrong with all of you!? I understand that a couple months ago 4-2 seemed like a pipe dream but expectations can change. I don't feel like we got beat by a better team in either of our two losses. I feel more like we literally gave the games away due to some poor game planning, play calling, and execution. Neither of these games should give us the "moral victory" in a loss feeling, we simply blew em. The Bengals and Giants are not elite teams and we should not be "ok" with a loss to either, even if theyre on the road. I understand this is the NFL and we will not win every week but I just don't see how any Bills fan can feel ok after literally handing a game over to the opposition....And yes I am drunk so please forgive the repetitiveness & poor grammar!

He threw a lot more than 2 horrible passes....he just only had to pay the price for two fo them. And that was enough to cost the Bills a win. To me this is a worse loss than if they had been out-gunned by NE or Oak because they should be been able to beat this Giants team and because they gave the game away in the final minutes when they had the advantage.

Big Turk Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I hv a big problem when they lose bc of gaileys play calling RUN THE BALL MORE How did that have anything to do with it? Fitz needs to not throw a horrible pass that was underthrown by 5 yards for no reason...there was no pressure in his face, Stevie was well behind the defender, and it was an easy touchdown if the ball was anywhere else... You can't cry about the play calling when the player was wide open for a TD and the ball wasn't anywhere close to where it should have been...

PTR They're a young team. maybe a 9-7 team. not sure they have playoff potential in them, especially with a D giving up over 400 yds a game. But they are developing some character and some consistency. They lost to a team that played better today and was more desperate. They had a chance to win, and didn't make plays. Obviously, Fitz hitting stevie on 1 of those throws and we likely win. But we need a pass rush. Moats is fine, but he is not Elvis Dumervil. Dareus got up the middle a few times, but we really need, gulp, Kelsay back. He does bring a solid rush and was playing great this year. Hopefully he returns soon. I think getting healthy over the bye will be huge. Washington is very, very beatable (plus I live in DC and desperately want to see them lose). side note - Terrence McGee reminded me today why we kept him over Greer. I still like Greer more, but he played excellent. McKelvin better step up, because Drayton "flag me for PI again" Florence has returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'm quite OK with 4-2 right now, but what I love about our team this year is CHAN IS NOT OK WITH IT AND NEITHER IS FITZ. I still think we are an 8-8 team (maybe 9-7 or even 10-6 with some breaks), but I think next year is the year we can seriously expect playoffs. The reason we are outplaying ourselves this year is Chan expects more sooner and that is a great improvement over the last regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO. The reason that I think that they are a legit playoff team has as much to do with the AFC as it does the Bills themselves. They've beaten some pretty good teams and have not been over-matched once this year. Outside of the Pats and Ravens who else is unequivocally better than the Bills? So for a team to be as clutch as they've been there is no feeling good about a loss when I thought they were clearly the better team. Plus, I've never been able to understand feeling good about a loss. Ask the team in that locker room if they feel good about a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
