Storm Front Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Today's game was tough to watch. I rarely get to watch the Bills play live on Sunday afternoons. I guess I am not missing anything. I'm not going to let them ruin any more Sunday's this season, though. The Chiefs weren't even that good yet they won by two scores. The Bills are just putrid.

It pretty much is the "same old Bills" this year with the exception of Mike Pettine who has made the biggest difference...but we have regressed in other areas.

thebug Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 We have sucked in the past, but this team does not suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I subscribe to the theory that we can only win close games in the first 5 or last 2 games of the year, hence 7-9, 6-8, 5-11, 4-12 records. We always remember our Billsness when every game is a must win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I felt the game was pretty entertaining. undrafted FA QB starting his first game aside. The run game was fun to watch and the defense didn't allow a touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Cain Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 When you lose 6 games in your first 9, you suck. So your thread title is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What areas have we regressed in? I actually find the Bills entertaining to watch, though the results have not been great. What do you expect with the parade of QB's we've had to start? This team is way better than the underachieving slop we've trotted out the past few years. Believe it or not, we are much closer than you think.

DDD Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 While the Bills have seemed to be more competitive the bottom line is they are 3-6 and in last place in the division. Yes, they suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leelee Phoenix Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The team is really average, if not good overall. There's certainly promise if EJ/Next QB drafted can be an adequate starter. It's impossible to win with their QB situation this year. Which is partly management's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) What areas have we regressed in? I actually find the Bills entertaining to watch, though the results have not been great. What do you expect with the parade of QB's we've had to start? This team is way better than the underachieving slop we've trotted out the past few years. Believe it or not, we are much closer than you think. There entertaining because we keep games close because the defense is actually competent this year. However, the overall talent and coaching still is an issue as our divisional and overall record dictates this. It's the same problems as previous years with injuries, can't win close games, no stability and question marks at the QB position. Problems with in game management. We won't even know what we have at QB going into next year (partially due to injuries of course).

Wazzu Bill Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 The Bills are more stupid than bad. This one. For the second time this season, we failed to get in on first and goal from the one. Not to mention, we're starting our FOURTH string quarterback - stupid announcers kept getting it wrong. Kolb, EJ, Thad, Tuel is 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellDopeland Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 This team may be 3-6, but they could easily be 6-3. They are prone to self-inflicted wounds that cost them; but give me a break. They have been in every game, save the Saints game, until the final few minutes. They are ultra-competitive. There's a great deal of promise here. People can rant about Marrone, Hackett, etc. But I give this staff a ton of credit- they have this team ready to play each week. Gailey's staff, on the other hand, paled in comparison. The organization screwed up when they let Tavaris Jackson go during the offseason; and they dropped the ball by keeping Tuel as the lone backup to Manuel at the start of the year. Nonetheless I like the direction they're going in. Just have to remain positive about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuel was benched after Cleveland, but he was #2 on the depth chart then. IRed players don't make the depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Jax Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Pretty much agree with the OP. The new regime has not shown me anything to make me think that the culture of losing is gone from the organization. Right now, it's still the same old Bills. And it is very hard to watch....it's also very frustrating and disappointing. The turnovers, the penalties, the drops, the unsuccessful play calling, the bad throws, the getting screwed by the refs, the horrible clock management, the bad special teams play, etc., etc....they never seem to end.

QCity Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Pretty much agree with the OP. The new regime has not shown me anything to make me think that the culture of losing is gone from the organization. There's no such thing as a "culture of losing" in the NFL. There are teams with good quarterbacks, and teams with bad quarterbacks. We are a team that has had bad quarterbacks for about 13 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a team that has had bad quarterbacks for about 13 years. LOL...there certainly is a culture of losing. You can easily see it HERE in these forums, such as when people predict/EXPECT the Bills to have turnovers and commit key mistakes. When those mistakes happen, many people just say, "we knew that was coming." And I have no doubt that this same defeatist attitude is in place for many of the Bills players. In reality, they would be even more likely than the fans to have this attitude because they get paid whether they win or lose. Do you find it odd how many times after a Bills' loss, players are laughing it up/joking around down on the field after the game. IOW, they don't seem to take a loss very hard....they really don't care too much. And one more thing, teams have actually WON the Super Bowl with less than pro-bowl QBs....does Trent Dilfer ring a bell? How about Jeff Hostetler?
