MarlinTheMagician Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Who knows what the record will be, but team is clearly on the right track. Played smart, played hard against a good opponent on the road in their home opener. Not enough today, but it is obvious better days are ahead. I am a Tyrod fan, but I have to admit I it is far from clear he can be our guy. The good thing is this full season will tell us for sure, and I trust this admin to make the right call both on Tyrod and on any QB they might pick. Perhaps others can, but I cannot tell from TV if it is Tyrod's fault the ball did not come out earlier in the game, but it sure didn't. McDermott will know. Oddly, even though they didn't get there, I thought Tyrod looked improved in the drive at the end. No push off on Holmes (which I think could have not been called), or a foot on the ball to Zay and we could have walked out with a W. Which is pretty damn good for a team everyone said was hopeless. Will be a fun season. It was so nice not seeing us implode due to personal fouls and other penalties. I am very optimistic and feel like it is a good time to be a Bills fan. Reminds me of some of the games we lost in 1986-87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of some of the games we lost in 1986-87. It's been pretty much what I expected...well coached, disciplined team in position, swarm to the ball on Defense but just lacking any real threats at WR and when Shady can't run it, Tyrod cannot beat them with his arm. Nothing that we haven't seen from Tyrod for the last two years...no run game, no wins. No idea why some people thought the D was going to be worse...

Fadingpain Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The decision about Tyrod has already been made. He is out after this year. Management knows this and, ironically, Tyrod's retention this year is designed to help us replace him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I like that they lose on the road to a good team that everyone had penciled in as a loss and now McDermott is trash and worthless as a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 We were 9-7 with the #4 defense in the NFL in 2014. I hope you're right but we were really close and now we have to "rebuild." It's getting really old. Especially when I think a guy like Sammy could have changed this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnybillsfan Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I like that they lose on the road to a good team that everyone had penciled in as a loss and now McDermott is trash and worthless as a coach. i think it is because we expected to be awful, braced for it, and were given a sliver of hope. i am a sucker for hope. i drink it up every time, and will continue to do so!

MarlinTheMagician Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 As frustrating as the offense was, I tremendously enjoyed watching the game today and the fight in our team. They simply could not put us away. No moral victories perhaps, but lots to build on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasovon Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Trust the process, look at the Raiders they were awful with Carr for a couple of years. Our guys know what they are doing and that is clear on defense, i think they know what they want on offense and Tyrod is gone sooner rather than later.

Let's see what he does with the rams today....honestly I don't think he's that big of a difference maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
