ALF Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Not enough team supervised off season conditioning and practice. Have to try cutting down injuries. Need full time officials to learn rules book and study close calls on tape. Teach players and coaches the rule book in off season . Could be done over internet. oops, crowd noise at home Several defensive players said after Sunday’s 24-10 loss to the New York Giants that communication on the field was a problem. The same was true in a Week Two loss to the New England Patriots – both of which came inside Ralph Wilson Stadium. “Part of it is the crowd noise,” Bills coach Rex Ryan said. “Sometimes in the communication, it’s easier to communicate on defense without the crowd, but trust me – I want the crowd there.

John in Jax Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I know they had a few key players out today due to injuries, but they were playing the Titans...you know, the team that sucks and has a rookie QB. It should not have even been close. They...the Bills....will be lucky if they win 8 games this year...lucky. Look at the schedule. MAYBE they beat the Jags, Dolphins, Texans, Redskins, and Jets one time. That would be 8-8. Maybe they keep playing like they have the last two weeks and go 4-12 or 3-13. You can't tell me that's not possible if you watched the last two games. Oh well, there's always next year! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone told me that Tyrod was a great quarterback who has great stats. Best QB since Kelly, he said. Played great today, he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Slowbile is what I saw throughout the first half. His passing yards were the same as the Giants game in the first half and rushing? Yes, Tyrod pulled out two very good rushes, but my god, this offense needs work. I have to say it. I told many people not to fall into the high scoring September numbers. Welp.... there you have it. I don't know, man. Someone told me that Tyrod was a great quarterback who has great stats. Best QB since Kelly, he said. Played great today, he said. The Koolaid was flowing and many partaking.

What a Tuel Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I know this is the negative thread but....we are missing Watkins, McCoy, and Karlos. Before the season the offense is what we were doom and gloom about.. I wonder what expectations would have been if someone told us Watkins, and McCoy would be out at least 2-4 games each?

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I know this is the negative thread but....we are missing Watkins, McCoy, and Karlos. Before the season the offense is what we were doom and gloom about.. I wonder what expectations would have been if someone told us Watkins, and McCoy would be out at least 2-4 games each?There are always gonna be injuries, no excuse. The other team has em too. If these guys come back and then Glenn and Incognito both go down, we can't evaluate the offense all season? I can already see the posts 'pretty tough to throw when you're lying on your back' etc. Just wait for next year, we'll keep the whole offense healthy for sure... Offense hasn't been bad overall but to beat good teams they'll need to do more than they've done the past two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It sucks that Tyrod got hurt in the game What sucks even more is all the anti EJ trash we have to deal with for the next week or more What sucks even more... is trying to ignore all the BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't an excuse for losing, it is a reason for not trashing the team because they aren't performing to expectations. There are valid reasons for not performing to expectations. They are missing a couple of the prime players that made us think they would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxy312 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 My negative/concern for what it's worth is that for the last two games, the Bills are playing to the level of their opponents. This simply cannot continue to happen if this team is going to have any chance of a run in the playoffs. Taking a third loss at home in an AFC game will simply be unacceptable. I know the Bengals have played pretty good this year. They're scoring a lot of points, but this next game absolutely must have a sense of urgency.

Nitro Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Injuries happen but the Bills are getting hurt in the skill positions on Offense has put a damper on the season. Once the unit gets healthy, it will be fun to watch but until then, it will struggle. Defense has not lived up to the preseason hype. The Cincinnati game would be a good time to see them dominate a good offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well Watkins hurt in a loss to Cincy is exactly what you don't want. If he can't go against Jax, him playing in this game is completely useless. Jax is the game that keeps playoffs alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in Jax Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well, I hate to say I told you so, but, I told you so. The defense (vs. Cincy) looks awful today. MAYBE they go 8-8 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I suspect this thread will over take the positive thread soon. Injuries happen but the Bills are getting hurt in the skill positions on Offense has put a damper on the season. Once the unit gets healthy, it will be fun to watch but until then, it will struggle. Defense has not lived up to the preseason hype. The Cincinnati game would be a good time to see them dominate a good offense. Maybe Rex's style of Defense has too many tricks and not enough fundamentals. Like Schwartz better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 This team looks very mediocre to me. They compete against poor teams and get overwhelmed by good teams (although they're solid in garbage time in those games). I don't see anything better than 8-8, largely because I don't think the team is very good. I think they're slightly below average on offense, slightly above average on defense, poor on special teams, and terrible in peripheral categories like penalties.

Nanker Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 This team has been taken to school by three teams with coaching staffs and FOs that have been in place for over a decade. Rex has a lot of talent at his disposal, but it's not his fault that some of the shiny toys are banged up. It's not the shiny toys' fault either. But the system hasn't jelled yet. We can't keep changing coaches ever 2 or 3 years folks, and expect The Bills to magically turn the corner after six weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
