LI_Bills Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Wading through todays long list of "the sky is falling" posts and the less popular "it's just one game, we'll be OK" posts makes me miss the reasoned recaps that the mighty Bill From NYC provided in the past. That was one-stop shopping for me as he would highlight both the positives and negatives of the game and present it in an overall context (positive or negative). Todays posts are like partisan politics, either way too far left or right with no reasonable middle ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I don't recall Bill saying he was done with his game recaps. I know he took a hiatus last season. Bill, we miss you. Here's a less respected voice of reason: we are a middle of the pack team. We lost to another middle of the pack team in a very competitive game on the road. We saw some concerning things about the team today, all of them on offense. We also saw a largely no-name defense play quite well. Nothing has really changed for this year - if we catch some breaks, we'll be in the playoff hunt. Nothing has changed long term either: the jury's still out on Tyrod as a starting QB, and on Rex as a coach, and on Whaley as a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LI_Bills Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I tend to the middle of the road and try to maintain optimism, otherwise why expend energy on something that I pay into! My simplistic view is that I'm thrilled we held Flacco to 13 on the road without our two first rounders and Dareus. But anytime (except inclement weather) we hold a team to 13 we should win.

KD in CA Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Tebow? Yeah, but at least he'd scramble five times for 70 yards in the last two minutes and pull out a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anytime (except inclement weather) we hold a team to 13 we should win. 23/34. 258. TD. Pretty good day for Flacco. And I don't think he even has to wash his jersey.

The Frankish Reich Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yeah, but at least he'd scramble five times for 70 yards in the last two minutes and pull out a win. Actually, I checked the game logs from Tebow's 2011 playoff run with the Broncos. You're right. In 4 games he passed for less than Tyrod's 111 yards. But in those games he ran for: 38 43 68 16 (the last game of the season) So 111 really is pathetic, particularly when you're not getting anything done with your feet either.

QB Bills Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Is the sky not falling ? Which other qb's have thrown for 111 yards in a full game ? Drew Brees had 98 on one play today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure they won most of those games. The Jets one in particular sticks out. I think Denver punted like nine times in a row that game and then Tebow scrapped together the ugliest drive in NFL history in the last few minutes to pull out the game. It was great.

And I don't think he even has to wash his jerse If your point is the 13 points is unsustainable, I get it. But if I had told you Saturday the Ravens would only score 13, would you have expected win?

bobobonators Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Did someone break his back at halftime ? Hah. Look it up. Hes had games under 100yds and games with less than 125. Full games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yeah, but at least he'd scramble five times for 70 yards in the last two minutes and pull out a win. and win a playoff game, I wonder what those are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes in a defensive struggle where his team did not even score 14 points he did awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
