1B4IDie Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Talk all you want about Strength of Schedule. THE first 9 games for the Bills are one of the toughest schedules out there. Best case scenario we're. 5-4. After that debacle yesterday 4-5 or 3-6 is more likeky. None the less the Bills can still finish with a winning record with the cake walk for the last 7 games. Screw up your courage the next 8 games will test your fanhood. Edited September 10, 2012 by Why So Serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Man Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I don't post much here, but I am on everyday. There isn't much else that can be said that already hasn't been mentioned in other threads. Combine the strength of the schedule and the lack of any improvement, in any phase of the game, and you are correct. This could get brutal for awhile. I know it's only one game, but they weren't even competitive. They seemed like victory should have been handed to them. They got it handed to them alright. This and the impending NHL lockout have this shaping up to be a miserable start to the fall/winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Agree. This team could might be in serious trouble. Yesterday can serve as a wake up call and gets these guys to put in the effort or it's a harbinger of things to come. Not liking what Gailey said this am in WGR about Graham not being ready. This pop gun offense is gonna struggle mightily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what adds to the frustration. After the "positive" offseason, we shouldn't be feeling like this after 1 game. When will we get it right?

BringBackFergy Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Strength of schedule? More like weakness of schedule. Don't kid yourself, other teams are looking at their schedule and circling the day they play the Bills so they can write "WIN" next to it with a big fat Sharpie.

thewildrabbit Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 At this point I think the Bills lose a lot more then I had previously thought. I can only wonder when they will look like they all know what they are doing out on the field. At this point the Browns should whump them. Maybe, just maybe, they beat the Dolphins once....

xsoldier54 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 This team not only gets beat it gets manhandled week in and week out. They are an embarrassment. I don't care what Chan Gailey and Fitzpatrick say about it being only one game, it was one horrendous game and a good indicator of how bad this team is. What a dissappointment after waiting the entire offseason and with all the moves they made. It all comes down to coaching and execution. We have a bad head coach and it filters down to the players. They just don't appear to be the least bit prepared week in and week out. At some point they need to have some pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homey D. Clown Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 We've been "getting worse" for 20 years now. When's it time for us to be something other than an embarrassment? You beat me to it... I was going to say the same thing. My frustration level could not be any higher at this point. How can a team seemingly make all the right moves in the offseason continue to look WORSE every F'ing year? It seems like it would be harder to SUCK every year than to accidentally have a good season every once in a decade or 2, yet this team seems to defy the odds.

gumby Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) We've been "getting worse" for 20 years now. When's it time for us to be something other than an embarrassment? Maybe it will turn around when the Bills take drafting a QB seriously. In the 50+ years of the Bills existence they have never drafted a QB with their first pick in a draft. If a QB isn't available in your spot make the move neccessary to get him. Many here laughed when the Redskins traded all those picks for RG3. But who now looks like they have a brighter future the Bills or the Redskins? Shanahan now has his guy and they can begin to build around him. The Bills are still lost in the wilderness.

You do not have a chance in the NFL if you do not have the triggerman. There is a reason why Fitz never received a Division 1 scholarship, got drafted in the 7th round. That reason is he sucks. He is not a NFL starting QB. I would gave up the whole draft this year & next year to get into position to draft RGIII or Luck this year. Yes that is how important the QB position is.

Which is my point the overall schedule is deemed weak, the First 9 games are probably the most difficult 9 games in the league. PLus it never helps when you give the team you're playing 17 points off of turnovers, 1 Pick 6, and Punt return for a TD where no one touches the punt returner.

Until we get a good qb, we will continue to be laughingstocks. Noodle arm doesn't stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPS Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 What seems to be lost on people is that the Jets are a very good team, and Ryan said as much when he said this may be his best team yet. Once again, Until the Bills show they can beat the Jets, they will not make the playoffs. That said, the Bills are better than they showed yesterday. They still aren't as physical as the Jets, but they aren't as bad as most seem to think. I think they will most likely be 4-4 at the half-way mark.
