HamSandwhich Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 It was a tough loss against a team we all thought we should destroy. It didn't happen, but that's the NFL of today, really close teams. As much as they tell us we're going to take our lumps with so many rookies, I think a lot of us try to block that out and hope the rookies become veterans faster than they are able. We're going to take our lumps with a rookie crew combined with a rookie set of coaches. We're going to be in these tough situations more often than not, most likely. You never know, we could become better quicker, but until then, lets just temper our disdain or our enthusiams, for that matter, for the coming games. If we suck, we knew it, if we get to the playoffs somehow, its cherry on top! Lets just keep our fingers crossed that the injuries are of the mild nature and they'll play sooner rather than later. Though it was hard to see megahands (Carrington) go down and be taken out by cart. As always, Go BIlls!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I thought it would be a close game. And I was wrong. Almost 200 yards in penalties, the zebras letting Manuel get away with a fumble recovered by the Jets late in the game. Manuel and Spiller both horrible. To say the Bills offense sucked doesn't begin to do it justice. The Jets should have won that game by 50 points. I'm still waiting to see the game to game improvement. I sure hope it starts soon.

Special K Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Guys remember this team is rebuilding. As bad as the Jets D made the Bills O look, they still scored 20 points, and IMO that would have been more than enough to win this game had the Bills secondary had Gilmore, McK, Brooks, and Byrd playing. Lets hope those guys get healthy and back playing soon, because it will be next to impossible to win games with the secondary they are fielding now.

Playoff Bound Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The game was hard to watch. The score was closer than it should have been. There was never the feeling the offense could move the ball. I put the blame on the coaching. They didn't have answers on either side of the ball and the team wasn't ready to play. Manuel looked lost. Disappointed is an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamSandwhich Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Lets give this the 24 hour rule, don't respond or talk about this for 24 hours. When you can collect your thoughts. I know I know, I've broken the rules myself with this thread, but its a good idea to keep away from the ledge. We're young, growing pains are going to happen. Hopefully they're short, but we need to prepare for longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJBrown7 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) 1) I thought it would be a close game. And I was wrong.

To say the Bills offense sucked doesn't begin to do it justice. 3)The Jets should have won that game by 50 points. I'm still waiting to see the game to game improvement. I sure hope it starts soon. 1) It was a 7 point game and we were tied with less than 10 minutes left. So you were actually right and are wrong saying you were wrong. 2) He may or may not have, but Rex Ryan blowing the 2 challenges and not being able to challenge is why the "got away with it"....but yea, our coaches suck and everyone else's are Vince Lombardi clones 3) No they shouldn't have and they didn't ---Our ROOKIE QB struggled against a great D....learning experience. 75% of our starting secondary is in street clothes. One of our 2 RB's got injured as did our starting LG and 2 DT's. Everyone needs to relax and understand there are going to be some growing pains this year. Past teams would have folded but we were in it until the end. The future looks bright, ESPECIALLY when we get some of our best guys back.

When they decided to blow everything up and start all over again, the playoffs in 2013 became an impossibility. It is not going to happen. Be happy if the team grows and jells and has 9 or 10 good games that show progress. Its all just preseason games other than that. Learning. Progressing. Seeing who can play and who cannot.

BillsVet Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 My goodness, this board is exploding with negativity. While some is earned, I dont think the world is falling. It's only week 4 of a new regime, calm down a bit folks. Take a step back and take a deep breath! One could have said the same thing early in the Jauron or Gailey eras. The point remains that merely rebuilding is no longer an excuse with teams improving during the early stages of the process. It's not unfair to expect 8 wins during the first year of a new regime. We were told a few years ago that it takes 3-4 years to rebuild. In a 21st century NFL, a strong organization doesn't need that much time. Yet, in Buffalo that somehow becomes reality. The standard seems awfully low here versus other franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weehawk Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Both teams were pathetic, but I think we get a pass for the CB injuries. When you can hit 50+ yard bombs with impunity, you know something's up. I like how EJ and Stevie played, even though EJ threw some real stinkers. I see some light. Playoffs, not likely. I want to see the front office really stick it to Byrd. I think he's faking it and he may have cost us both the Pats and Jets games. Dont give in. Let him sit and rot.

We are one fortunate pass interference call on Luke Keuchly away from being 0-3. Let year 14 of the rebuild commence. Marrone better get Nate Hackett to become a better offensive coordinator quickly or neither one of them will be around for year 16 of the rebuild.
