Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have never seen so many people upset with a win. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa, we didn't throw down field to the receivers enough, whaaaaaaaaaa! Who freakin cares? Please someone explain to me why we should go out of our comfort zone against the Jets, the worst team in the league and decrease our odds of winning the game? By playing vanilla with a team like that, in my opinion it gave us about a 95% chance to win the game. So what are we suppose to decrease our chances to say 80-85% because people want to see more passes to the receivers? It really boggles the mind. There are going to be games where if we want to win, we will have to absolutely throw down field to the receivers much more and get them involved in the offense. This was not that game. We were at home against the worst team in the league. It was pretty much a gimme. The point is to win the game and it would be absolutely idiotic to develop a game plan against a team like this that is a bit more open on offense but decreases your chances of winning. Also, why would you open up your offense and give future opponents more information than you need to? Let's run more of a downfield passing attack in this game because our fans are babies and don't understand the point is to win the game. Finally Tyrod is what he is. I would be very surprised if all of a sudden he developed a nice intermediate passing game. We are tied to him for at lest this season and we should play to his and the offenses strengths. Enjoy the freakin win for Christ sakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you don't get really happy after a win against the worst team in the NFL....you're upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 You only have to face one team each week. They beat that team. It was probably the easiest game the Bills will face (on paper) this year. A win is a win, no style points are handed out for a bonus. It wasn't that great a performance though.

billsbackto81 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) I'm glad they won. I have no wish to see this team tank because I think they're better than most give them credit for. I truly think they can be a 8+ win team. I also understand every team will bring a different game plan. Shots down field are nice but must be done at the right time. I recall the shot to Holmes which was a good call and drew the PI. I didn't see any chemistry with the WRs. If we see that come, even in the short game then optimism will grow.

bobobonators Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I guess if you don't get really happy after a win against the worst team in the NFL....you're upset. Its a divisional game. They swept us last season and averaged like 34 points a game vs us. Its the home opener. Our offense put up a crap load of yards vs a decent defense and our defense shut down a poor offense. There was very little to complain about from yesterday other than our kicking woes continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not unhappy or complaining. I'm not going to use this game as a measuring stick though. A W is a W but to me, not an indicator of anything other than we dominated a very bad team.

Russell Wilson dribbled a badly skipped football 3 feet in front of him on the 2 yesterday to ruin his team's day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It wasn't that terrible a performance either. A win is a win. But there's nothing useful to take from this in projecting it against a team that isn't in the bottom 5 of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It wasn't that terrible a performance either. Agreed. It was a win that didn't tell me anything. We are 1-0. A win is a win, and you have to be happy with that. The Jets are really a terrible team. A win over them doesn't help us figure out who we are.

A win is a win, and you have to be happy with that. The Jets are really a terrible team. A win over them doesn't help us figure out who we are. Both of your points are true. Now we could also apply this logic to Carolina, who also beat a terrible team yesterday. Granted by a bigger margin, but the Panthers weren't exactly lighting up the scoreboard. I'm not saying the Panthers are a suspect team, I think they are very good. I just think that the Bills match-up against them better than most may actually think.

row_33 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Was it mentioned by the Bills that we purposefully played vanilla against the jets? they went to what i call the "garbagetime prevent D" that let the Jets skip-to-my-loo down the field by dink=and=dunk for their only drive of the game, but it was with a one score lead, which is very premature. (remember this when many opponents do this and let Tyrod suddenly summon up a "great drive" after wheel-spinning to that point...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
