DriveFor1Outta5 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 My thoughts on this team aren't much different than they were before the game. A couple of new thoughts: -TT made plays all day. On an offense that lacks playmaking ability he is a playmaker. - Hauschka is a welcome addition. - DBs are talented but when the pass rush doesn't get there those 20 yard out will be open all day in this defense. - The design of the running game sucks. - Castillo is bad. - Zay has the yips. He's like a golfer that lost his stroke. They should come out next week early and run a couple of easy rollouts to him. He needs his confidence. - Game management was good. Great use of a challenge. I thought that they handled the clock well. McDermott has his team ready to play. They look organized and disciplined. - The officiating was not very good and hurt the DBs specifically. They made a couple of plays and ended up with nonsense penalties. - HC and defensive coaching is light years ahead of where we were a year ago. - This team battles and never turns the ball over. - We are a dropped pass from being 3-0. Can't complain too much Good post. This is a running team. It's the design or lack of for the running game that concerns me most. We might lack explosive recievers, but a running game should never be this bad with an elite back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albwan Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Actually I picked the bills to win, im not a tt fan but we have seen him time to time be adequate enough to win, however defense once again was the star. Lets see some consistency, which no one can say he has had up to this point. Games like this: vs Balt, vs Indy.... again lets see what happens.

Wing Man Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm on board. I figured we'd lose by 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsmovinup Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Im in on the crow fest. I gave this team zero chance to win. Game balls for everybody. A true team win. Huge props to the coaching staff. This is a sign of a well coached team the way they played today. Shout out to Tyrod. Very solid game from him. Keep it going boys.

Gray Beard Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Crow on a Stick for me with Ranch dressing I was glad to see that the offense wasn't just shady. More players got involved. There was more movement for TT and some play action as well. D-line did just fine without MD. That was a pleasant surprise. O-line could have used CG, that's for sure.

Denver did stop the best RB in the league last year who also happen to have had the best oline in the league last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea in the same way I am waiting on next week before getting excited about things I am waiting on next week before panicking about the run game. We just played two stout defensive fronts. The run defenses we play do ease up as the season goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I was actually going to pick the Bills in the TBD Pick 'em pool and, at the eleventh hour, just couldn't pull the trigger. Definitely thought they could win but ultimately thought they would lose a close one, mostly due to the absence of Cordy Glenn. Crow is for those who gave this team no chance or thought they would get annihilated and not even be in the game. Not eating any crow here. I also picked Jacksonville then changed it before kickoff. Lesson? Stick with your first instinct. Two losses that would've been wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 What did you think of Tyrod? I thought he was much more efficient. Didn't get much help from Zay unfortunately. Hopefully he can build on this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 ....steady Eddie....nothing flashy or Air Coryell stats.....just smart controlled football and let the defense do their thing.....it WILL work........... Agree. On that one 4 play TD drive TT actually threw with anticipation and patience. Had to rub my eyes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The Bills are kind of a middle of the pack team, playing at home against a slightly overrated middle of the pack team (The Broncos are the 3rd best team in their own division). It's not a big surprise that they won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected them to be competitive against other middle of the pack teams when playing at home. I still expect a 7-9 to 9-7 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a big surprise that they won.So they get no credit for beating teams they are supposed to beat like the Jets. They get highly criticized whenever they lose like against Carolina. And they get no credit for upsetting an undefeated team that crushed the Cowboys last week and are expected to be a playoff team because they may be slightly overrated. Got it. Carry on.
