Prickly Pete Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) 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. Oh boy...where did I dismiss them? I just don't think it's "eating crow" time. It's nice to win. calm down.

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The season ticket holders who sold their tickets should be the ones eating crow... I go into every weekend believing we can win so no crow for me. But it was very disappointing seeing all that orange in the stands. At one point when the Broncos defense was on the field, i could hear a DEFENSE chant from the crowd on my tv... Idk why, but that upset me...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think this is eating crow for the season. Just for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) So far this season, Tyrod has earned the right to keep his starting job and he's also earning his way to not being the QB here next year. I'll give credit where it's due - he did his job today. He's had better games, but for today, this is what the Bills needed. It was a great team win and he was a big part of it. But he ain't the future. Edited September 24, 2017 by Gugny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I thought for sure we would get stifled on offense. Great win today, great job. Keep proving me wrong. I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninMyrtleBeach Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I always consider the glass half full, but I admit I was a wee bit doubtful about the outcome. But HALLELUYA the Bills circled the wagons. I do see a difference in this team, they are gelling. Still have work to do but.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samwell Tarly Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Today was a pleasant surprise. Great job. But it's one game. Put my serving of crow in the freezer, check back with me in a few weeks. If things continue to go well and they break the drought, I'll eat it all with a side of humble pie.

I guess I just don't see it as a "big win". It's nice. Through this drought there have been wins like this each season. Last year in Week 3, they beat Arizona... I mean, when you win 7, or 9 games, there usually a few home game wins like this. I don't take it as "a sign of big things to come".

Billsguy Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Congrats to the Bills on a fine effort today. I like the attitude the new head coach is instilling in this team. Tyrod was so elusive. Defense was stout again. Well done Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team takes the season game-by-game. A fan eats crow game-by-game. IMO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 TT played much better than I thought he could. He made some big plays in clutch moments. He had a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I gave us no chance this week, had completely given up on Tyrod and thought our defense was a mirage. I was wrong, chowing down on some crow and it never tasted so good. I admit that I thought Tyrod would be ineffective again and we would lose. Happy I was wrong. The defense alone is something to be excited about. Gaines is a real player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Actually there is some crow that I should be eating as well. Going into the season I thought that the secondary was going to be a weakness, I will happily eat some crow on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) 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 Agree with each point. I will have no crow........I had this as a win......Bronocs aren't nearly as good as they played last week. Zay is struggling and it's killing them because they put too much stock in his readiness. Tyrod had his 4th consecutive very well played game as QB of the Bills.........he's clearly improved........a light seemed to come on in that Miami game and he hasn't had a bad day since. I've been sold on the defense since the preseason. If Watkins were still here they'd be 3-0 and the offense would look entirely more effective and efficient. Still need to replace Watkins with a deep threat at least...........the all-22 will show utter disrespect for the Bills passing game.......people lamented 8 man fronts last week.......but this week there were ACTUAL 8 man fronts that the Bills were running head-long into.......Taylor could have easily had another 100-150 yards in the air......even with the ill matched WR group with some better play calling. Mike Tolbert is basically Boobie Dixon at the beginning of 2015..........fan favorite while killing drives with his touches. A lot of moves working out.......but the offense is a stud WR, a better #2 RB and some better play calling/design on offense from being a wildcard favorite.

Buffalo Boy Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Only at half time. D looks great. O starting to show signs of life. Not a TT fan but this team can get somewhere looking like this. I'm trying!!!!! These damnable feathers are a tough swallow😘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with everything Kirby said and you said. The funny thing is, of course, on your last point, we had the first two and threw them away, and the third one the guy has already run that offense, ignored it in the first two games plus the first quarter of this game.

I was wrong, chowing down on some crow and it never tasted so good. You can never give a team no shot. We stack up as average to slightly below. Some weeks we will win convincingly others we will look bad. Same with every team. Ours likely skews a little worse than others though. But not drastically. Having that good day against a wild card contender is big for us though. Edited September 25, 2017 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing about that is that the difference in a lot of those games are a few plays and the most important of those few plays are turnovers and we have a guy who doesn't make many. But people seem to hate that. The difference in today's game was Trevor made two horrendous decisions and throws that became INTs, and Taylor didn't make any.
