1billsfan Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Atlanta 34 - Bills 31 I saw a team that was so completely unfocused today that I wondered if that the OT loss to Atlanta last week crushed them. I did not recognize the Buffalo Bills today. Garnering any sort of meaningful conclusions on individual players or coaches in this game is pretty much pointless IMO. Having said that, the Jaguars game will be very telling IMO. Next week there is no longer the "not enough time to get over the season ending crushing defeat" excuse.

JM57 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Chris Brown said on the pregame show the were pretty flat in practice most of the week. No coincidence that they followed up the deflating loss against Atlanta in a similar fashion to the deflating loss against KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, the Jaguars game will be very telling IMO. Next week there is no longer the "not enough time to get over the season ending crushing defeat" excuse. Precisely what it was. I've had weekly premonitions that have come to fruition almost every time this year. Last week's was: we will not win a close game. We might blow them out, they might blow us out, but if it's close, we lose. This week's: the game will not be close. I knew one of two Bills teams would show up: a dejected one, or one playing with its hair on fire. I think it's clear which one we got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Can you blame them? The psychological fall out over that falcons game was devastating. As fans, we are still reeling. Just imagine the players. It's not easy rebounding from mind boggling, improbable losses where you snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. These new players haven't experienced the bills losses of old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 The Bills hv looked pretty much the same in all of their road games with the exception of Miami The team has no confidence whatsoever in road games and I don't expect anything different next week EJ looks like a rookie QB playing on the road for the first time in every road game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 No trust in E.J. In E.J. defense the offensive line sucked. Another thing why do our speed receivers never get separation ? I know why,a couple things. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These new players haven't experienced the bills losses of old. Is the sarcasm on here? Most of the starters on this team have been here for A LOT of deflating Bills losses. Some of the biggest bumbling culprits today.....like Eric Wood, Stevie Johnson and Leodis McKelvin....actually go all the way back to the JAURON era. These guys ONLY know how to lose and they are a veteran team.....contrary to stats that portray them as young because all of their depth and their QB's are young.

bisonbrigade Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Was this loss really that terrible, we just passed Tampa on the draft board. If you don't make the playoffs, whats the point of a win. Moral victory? Drop in the Draft board? Really the loss is actually a good thing.

KGUNBILLS Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 They all realize that the season is over. We have all but turned against them. Why chance getting hurt at this point, and now it seems to bring up the question how high is our draft picking slot going to be? It is sad really. For a while now I guess we all knew this was coming.

Big Turk Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Offense was inept... defense completely shut TB down after the first quarter, allowing under 100 yards the rest of the game and only 7 total in the second half. How many times did the Bills hand them the ball at midfield or in our territory and force a FG or punt?? Without that BS call on Byrd for roughing the passer it would have been another FG not a TD... D balled out after the first quarter and got literally no help at all Pettine showing great ability to adjust, Hackett not so much...

Nanker Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 My theory is that they suck from top to bottom. Just a theory at this point. But I'm sticking with it till they prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffaloed in Pa Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 OK, I'll bite. Why? Smaller,weaker,run bad patterns,simple play calling ,easy to read.Get held up at the line ..fast but not quick. straight line speed runners. Need to run patterns quicker,this is where small receivers excell. Welker types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mail it in. Stevie short arming that ball that was picked said it all. He's not gonna let some inaccurate rookie QB put him in the hospital in a meaningless game this close to the offseason vacation time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
