EldaBillsFan Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 ..................................Exactly there is NONE! Every team in the NFL has had its ups and down....other than the Packers.... and last year the packers were up and down....its just the nature of the beast.... The thing I question is their heart...... and mental toughness...because we played better with lower expectation go back to being the underdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I question is their heart...... and mental toughness...because we played better with lower expectation go back to being the underdogs I'm assuming you meant "dominant"? There isn't a dominant AFC team at the moment. We're not in the group of real contenders, either. The fact of the NFL is that teams expose themselves in the second half of the season. As many have pointed out, Buffalo's success was built on a combination of great play from Fred Jackson, Fitzpatrick's quick release and great vision, and significant luck with defensive turnovers. Fred is continuing to play at an incredibly high level, and Fitzpatrick still shows elite vision and recognition behind center. However, teams have quickly figure out how easy it is to stop our pass game by jamming receivers and forcing Fitzpatrick to hold the ball, as Charlie Casserly and others have (correctly) stated. We're slightly better than the 2008-2009 team, but Buffalo still has a long way to go before it is a real playoff contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Uhh. Last year's Packers never even thought about being this terrible... Playoff teams don't get embarrassed at home and then respond by getting destroyed on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) the Patriots; they hit their mini slump and will probably win the rest of their games. Edited November 14, 2011 by Buffalo Barbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Houston Texans Nobody is paying attention to them. Yes they lost a big game to the Saints, but they have been on a roll lately, and look like they are on a mission. Do not overlook this team.

It really is a league of parity this year, sand Green Bay. I think the Bills should take a look at what Denver is doing right now. Running the Ball Slowing the Game Down Giving the D a break Playing Good Special Teams/ Field Position Battle Keeping games Close Playing LOW Mistake Football With Freddie the Freak and Spiller in need fo carries, why not pound the rock?

Yes they lost a big game to the Saints, but they have been on a roll lately, and look like they are on a mission. Do not overlook this team. Exactly! The Texans are the best team no one is talking about. They have been playing without their star receiver for 6 games and are still putting up points and winning games. The D has improved and I don't think they would have lost to the Raiders if they hadn't played them right after Al Davis died. They look like the best all around team in the AFC right now IMO.

Doc Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 There is no dominant team. However with Bell being out (Fitz only trusted him) and now Wood being gone, the offense is going to falter. I hope I'm wrong and that Hairston and whoever takes Wood can help right the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Patriots. No team is as well coached, as well lead from within the lockeroom, and has a QB who almost always steps up in clutch games. They win the AFC East with ease and at least a homefield playoff game against a team a wildcard team like the Jets, Ravens of Bengals that they'll sure pound. I hate them, but they are the model franchise and still look as good as anyone in the AFC after all these years. Great coach who is strong with the Xs and Os and drives a tight, team first team where you show up to practice and work and your draft slot and salary are meaningless when it comes to playingtime. Arguably the greatest QB of all time (hate saying it but its true). All held together by a top-notch, dedicated, owner.

I'd almost rather lose that way rather than by a last second field goal. You just burn the game tape and get pissed off all week about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Stillers, they have the best record. They have solved their OLine problems and offensive predictability from earlier in the year. Theyve beaten the #2 Pats. Ravens is the only team that has their #, so as long as they dont see them again they're in the driver's seat *schaub is done for the season Edited November 15, 2011 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However with Bell being out (Fitz only trusted him) and now Wood being gone, the offense is going to falter. I hope I'm wrong and that Hairston and whoever takes Wood can help right the ship. It's going to take a creative game plan to make the best of what we have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 And we beat them. As much as yesterday sucked, it's still one loss. I'd almost rather lose that way rather than by a last second field goal. You just burn the game tape and get pissed off all week about it. And we lost twice that way too...(Being beat by a FG). The bottom line is this team is not the same team that started 4-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
