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...

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...

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.

(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...
thurst44 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 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. - They showed they could close out the game - They dominated the Jets d-line which is probably in the top half if not top 10 of defensive lines - They limited stupid plays and penalties - Humber appears more than adequate - Bilal Powell and Matt Forte are not terrible and they only had two runs over 5 yards all game This win doesn't prove anything, but it offers some hope for a game on the road against a likely middle-of-the-pack to good team. The idea that teams and players don't learn things from week to week, or can't build on efforts, is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Fans aren't idiots because they realize the Bills had the best possible match up to start the season in a Jets team widely viewed as the worst team in the NFL fully capable of going 0-16 this year. But on a positive note, yes it was great to see McDermott get off to a good start and hopefully be able to build on this. But make no mistake about it, the real 2017 season begins next week in Carolina and I suspect this team is going to look much different against a vastly superior team, coach, QB, etc on the road.

Do you mean vastly superior to the Jets? Or to the Bills? Because there is zero evidence that those things are true about Carolina with regard to the Bills.

Alphadawg7 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) well.... a good team would have been up 35-0 by the third quarter instead of clinging to a one-score lead where any random garbage can happen out there at any given time. Russell Wilson dribbled a badly skipped football 3 feet in front of him on the 2 yesterday to ruin his team's day.... You mean how like the Falcons BARELY won their game against the Bears and came down to the final play of the game? Or how a blocked Punt allowed Pitt to barely win against Cleveland? Or how Houston got crushed by lowly Jags? Or how NE got smashed by KC? Or how Cincy got destroyed by Balt? So maybe your ridiculous assessment of how a good team would have been up 35 at half time (and we should have been up bigger not for Clay) isn't so accurate. Bills were never in danger, and once we had a 2 score lead they went very conservative to just eat up clock because the D was holding their own as well. I expect you to slam all those others teams for either barely wining against lesser teams or flat out losing. We actually DOMINATED the Jets on both sides of the ball and actually won this game 31-12 except Clay blew the TD into an INT and once again we shanked a FG. This game was not nearly as close as the score was and we still won by 2 scores. Edited September 11, 2017 by Alphadawg7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
