I don't think this game wipes the bad taste of weeks 1 and 2 out of our mouths, but it MIGHT NOT be the doom and gloom we thought.

 

Yes, 1 win. But, it makes next weeks game huge. We start 2-2, regardless of against to who, we are right back in it before some winnable games and 1 game out of 1st place in the East

Pot is not yet legal in California.

 

The baseline efficiency for the Bills passing offense is far below what is needed to contend in today's game. Wins are fun, but relying on large gains by a running qb and a basketful of turnovers every game results in a consistent run toward mediocrity.

 

Trade every asset with large upcoming expectant cap hits for the future. Its the qb.

Cards laid an egg, and our offensive success were using the Army football style running game. TT looked awful passing, and still sucks. We won't be able to win much if he can't play the QB position better.

Lighten up. We won the game by 15. Enjoy the win and save your reservations about TT for another day. Only thing that matters is getting a W. Doesn't matter how.

John, I totally respect your optimism. I used to be there. But the problem is we have been put in a big hole and one thing there has not been under Rex has been consistent play from one game to another.

 

That said, that was about as much fun as I have had watching the Bills in a long time.

Whooose the quarterback thoooo for Pats

 

I know we joke that a jugs machine could beat them but Bills played them very close last time at Foxboro with Brady.

Prediction: the Bills will not bring pressure and force the jug machines to pick us apart. And they will. :)

Inconsistency has been the issue going back to last year...specifically on defense.

Specifically stringing together multiple wins. We need to be able to go on winning streaks and keep the momentum going. We saw the Cheifs and the Redskins go on RIDICULOUS winning streaks last year that brought them to the playoffs. We need to develop that consistency as a team.

When your #1 playmaker is out you have to do whatever you have to do to manufacture offense/points. Hopefully Watkins is back next week, but I'm doubtful.

Yeah TT really hurt us today.....that is all

Are you kidding? We should have started Cardale. Tyrod was sooooooo inaccurate today. He missed like 5 open receivers. Led us to a victory but his stats were terrible. Bench him and start EJ

I was impressed with Powell today Ive been a staunch supporter of Walt since TC. Happy to see him finally get in the game and get a chance to make plays. I wonder whos better when bullets are flying. Powell vs Salas.

He sucks. We can't win too many games in the NFL counting on the running game for almost all the offensive output. I'm happy we won, but TT did nothing to ease my concerns about him. I don't get the feeling our final record will be any better than I thought before. Tyrod defenders coming out of the woodwork make no sense. He was essentially a running back under center today. He did nothing as far as being a QB. Edited by DriveFor1Outta5

Next week is gonna be real tought. We get an extra rested Pats team and that defense is demonically scary.

I dont know if you noticed it but Rexs game plan is the power run with the passing game doing just enough to win. He did nothing as far as being a QB? Damn breh! Not even gonna honor that with a comment. SMH.

The hoodie isn't going to let us run the Army offense (like this week) down their throats either. He'll make TT beat him through the air.

That defense is top 5 in the league AT THE VERY MINIMUM. Thats gonna be a defense heavy game, especially if JG isnt playing.

No kidding it was the game plan because they have to hide TT.

Thats his gameplan no matter who he has under center, did you see the post game? Even Bradshaw was saying, "last week he threw for 297 but those arent the type of games Rex wants from his QB, he wants games like today where we control the TOP and run run run." Or something like that. Either way I think you underestimate TT, hope he proves you wrong this season.

I am hearing and reading the Rex Haters say it was only one game (referring to today's game).

 

Yet, some of these same people had no problem saying Rex should get fired (a) before the season even started; (b) after the Ravens game; © after the Jets game.

 

Hmmmm.

 

P.S. Of course, the same guys also will never acknowledge that it might be nice to give Rex a chance with all the parts that are missing

Rex has never had a QB. That wouldn't be the "Rex" if he had Rodgers. Of course that's the game plan when you've had Sanchez,Smith, and Taylor. Edited by DriveFor1Outta5

Rex Ryan historically has had some great games. However, his teams have almost always lacked focus, and an inability to string together high-level performances.

 

That's his major flaw until proven otherwise.

That's how I feel. So many posters thought at 0-2 we were going to be 0-16 and now we'll be in the playoffs. I saw us as an 8-8 team then and now.

Yep, it's going to be 7-9 to 9-7. I'll take the mid point too.

TT sits about the middle of the pack as far as NFL QB's go. He's not a superstar, but he is good enough if the rest of the team does their jobs. If there was anyone out there that was better, then believe me, they'd be starting for someone. You are entitled to your opinion, but most experts would disagree with your assessment that "He sucks." If you can't enjoy a win like today's then I suggest you find another hobby.

I just hoped to see something from him. If you count his ability to run middle of the pack might be fine. As far as being a real QB, he's bottom third. I don't think he is "good enough" to even be a playoff QB. Defenses will catch on to our run only offense, and stuff it. He can't read a defense, throw over the middle, or pass accurately. Many QBs that are middle of the pack struggle, but still have the ability to do those things better than TT. I enjoyed the win, so I don't need a new hobby. I just think it changes who we are until TT shows something. Praise any element of this team you want to. They all deserve it today, including TT's ability to run fast. I just don't understand people seeing something in TT from this win. The same concerns I had about TT the first two games still exist. Edited by DriveFor1Outta5

You mistake your opinion w facts. Stop being a little whiny baby. Bills fans can be such bitches. TT has shown more than any of our quarterbacks since Kelly. Be patient and let the guy continue to develop.

This response was completely unnecessary. The guy said nothing in his post that deserved this. This is the type of post that devolves a thread into a back and forth argument.

It's only three games. True. Things we've noted so far:

 

1) Can't play catch up - too much reliance on TT - whats the stat? zero wins if he throws more than 30 times?

2) Can't get into a shoot out - see above - unless we can literally run through the opposing 8 man box

3) Team looks great when ground and pound is working...... of course it does....

4) Injuries and being forced to play some back ups at key positions is a lot more pronounced than previously anticipated. I honestly think, if we had the Big Stuff, we had a shot of winning last week.

5) Play calling - has been nauseating. Like can we please, please please get more TE plays called.

 

Nothing shown these first three weeks has instilled any confidence that we'll be ok for the season. I mean, how ELATED do you think the Pats fans are to be 3-0 and have a third stringer lead a 27-0 performance..... and here we're clapping our hands for not shitting the bed worse than the other team.
