Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I actually think the Bills will beat Cincy and beat them in convincing fashion creating a lot of playoff and super bowl buzz only to be brought back down to earth with a loss to Jax in London the following week just like beating the Packers last year and then losing to the Raiders the next wk ( still bugs me) Thats perfect....our O line needs serious work but lets trade up for a QB this year.....with the picks we need for the Offensive line QB is more important than line. Would you rather have a young Roethlisberger or a great lineman? I willing to let the rookie sit next yr while Taylor gets abused and we can still draft for Oline this and the next yr Edited October 12, 2015 by Buffalo Barbarian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Take a look at the standings. The AFC South is a disaster. So is the North and the West ain't much better. There's a lead dog in each of those divisions and not much else. There will be contenders for the wild card, no question about it, but the pack in the middle isn't as convincing as recent years. A win is a win. As Aaron Rodgers says, R-E-L-A-X. We don't have Aaron Rodgers (of course if we didn't trade for JP we could have but that is water under the bridge) Lets make sure to waste this Defense while your at it bad plan the one that played better under Pettine and Schwartz?

Punching Bag Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 You sound VERY gleeful about it. What's the point of this thread. I think everyone realizes the Bills might not be as good as we had hoped. But it's a long season and they have a friendly enough schedule. If they make the playoffs it's likely to be as the 6 seed. Corrected. But he right about WE since that includes him. What should we do trade Williams to whoever has rights to Skeleton? That Barbarian does not think we have a chances gives me confidence since we have seen how wrong he has been in past and anyone objective will think he will continue being wrong in future.

Nihilarian Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I hope Goff stays number 1 QB and we can trade up for Connor Cook, who finally is getting rythem with WRs, reminds me a lot of Rivers with Roethlisbergers play extending ability. I'm a huge Roman fan, the QB and line not so much (except for Richie) Buffalo Barbarian. Its not the QB's fault the team isn't playing up to its ability just yet. A bunch of injuries to its star players, and in the first year of the Rex Ryan experiment. I don't think anyone is elated about the season so far, and most are just happy the team is 3-2, and still in position to do something this year. This is a new coaching staff, and many things will still need to be worked out before having a panic attack. I'm fairly certain that the GM, and coaching staff are focusing a keen eye on the offensive line and will resolve to obtain what they need to make that power run game work. The starting QB just played in his fifth NFL game and is still a work in progress, as are the the players to the schemes. All three phases of this years team can get better, and I think they will. Just be happy the team is only one game out of first place! The Bills could be the 1-4 Ravens, the 1-3 Dolphins, the 1-4 Texans, the 1-4 Jags, the 1-4 Chiefs, the 0-5 Lions, the 1-4 Saints, the 1-4 49ers. Don't worry, be happy for at least another six days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure where your going with that This D right now and next year is in its prime......we start waiting around on a rookie QB and they might be fading by the time that rook QB is ready to play and contibute (lets keep in mind here that MOST rookie QBs take a while) Your giving up on Tyrod Taylor too soon....the kid is a baller...and EJ is improving with each passing year it seems. What we DONT have right now is a offensive line that can get 5 yards when we need a first down and move the chains which is SORELY needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) The offseason was great and we got pumped by all the moves but this team is the same as it always has been; average. We either have a great defense or a great offense and until we get them both we are going nowhere as todays victory proved that we could barely beat a marginal team. until we get a QB that can pass better than he can run and greatly improve the offensive line we are going nowhere. Key word is beat. The 90's Bills won many a close, ugly game. And so do most winning teams. The other team gets paid too. 5 games in dude. Calm down. We have seen some warts. We have also seen a lot of good, including from Taylor. The biggest issue is consistency throughout all of the units. And offensively, until we get everybody healthy and playing together for a stretch, we might continue to see ups and downs. Offensively, their best football is potentially ahead of them going into the stretch run. Edited October 12, 2015 by purple haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 TT is a running QB and that is all he will ever be. Yawn For a running QB he sure is doing quite well with the TD passes.....look where he stands in the league as of right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple haze Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) TT is a running QB and that is all he will ever be. Yawn You got the powerball numbers too? I think you're off base here. Not saying he will ever be a Rogers or Brady, but he's shown well from the pocket. He's shown well under pressure. He's bought times with his legs and made plays down field. We've seen him do this. He hasn't done it consistently, but his completion percentage is still very good for someone with inconsistencies. And as bad as he looked against N.E. and the Giants or today for long stretches, he also made enough plays to have the Bills in the game (Giants - penalties killed two TD's), with a chance to tie the game at the end (Patriots), or win outright (Titans). Let it play out. We shall see what he is or isn't. That happens over time, not in five games, whether it's for the perception that he is the guy or he isn't.

VanCity Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Most of us got a bit too enthusiastic after the Colts game, a little too down after the Pats game and then road that same roller coaster through the Fins and Giants games. After this week, most of us are thinking we have an average team on our hands. But, as down on the Titans as most have been, they're not a terrible team and that win, as close as it was, is still a win that can set this squad up with the confidence to step their play up a notch. The game plan in the first half for the offense was terrible, so don't put that on the players, but once adjustments were made, that was a really good game to watch in the second half. I'm not handing out the Kool-Aid, but I still tune in on Sundays to support the team I have always put my hopes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 BB - I was frustrated as well, but have to remember how good is any team that loses it's top 2 RB, and top WR. The defense caused all of those punts, becuase it was effective. Could they have been better, yes, but they were on the field for 90% of the first half. Henderson has to improve, and thankfully we went from atrocious to just not good in terms of penalties. If we get our guys back and still look like yesterday, then BB, I'll sign up for what your selling. Until then, I'm going to be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
