Big Turk Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) 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 can understand the first 2 points but what did you see throughout the preseason and first 2 games that would have made you thought the defense was a mirage? NOBODY has scored many points on us in ANY of those 6 games with their first string units...do you need to see all 16 games before you realize they are just as good as the unit Schwartz coached??

Straight Hucklebuck Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Yeah, but most of them will disappear until the Bills next loss, then they'll be back to proclaim how smart, handsome, and correct they really are. Yup we're scared to get called out by super fans like Koko. This was an excellent win. Probably the best one since the Packers at home in 2014. Stood toe to toe with a proven defense and made plays on them. Edited September 25, 2017 by Straight Hucklebuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strethor Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) 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 changed my Pick'em last minute and was almost certain we were going down a "Roman part 2" type offensive collapse and ready to throw Peterman in there -- I'll eat crow in two places: -Criticizing Beane (thought we were surely headed for a tank..) -Blaming Taylor for Dennison's horrible calls My criticism at least thus far directed at TT should have been more directed at Dennison. Proud of the direction our team is headed specifically the defense and McDermott - although he needs to learn how to call time outs!

Thunderstealer Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I had us winning this game all offseason until this morning. Really pleased with how we played. So happy the defense is nearly always in position. Tackling is good, cornerbacks are playing like they've been together years. Defense and special teams coaching is way ahead of where they should be this early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I had a pretty good gut feeling we were going to pull this one off but still I was too chicken to take them in pick 'em. I was definitley still worried about the O going into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Going into the game I saw a decent Denver offense going against a very good Bills defense. I expected the Bills offense to be stifled by the Denver D. 26 points? Really?? I didn't predict a final score, but I expected something in the 17-6 range, with Denver sealing the win by tiring out the Bills defense in the 4th. Look back at the last pass of the Carolina game, and we're six inches away from being 3-0. I'm shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The professional Tyrod haters seem to have quieted down. I'll give it two days before they say he sucks again. I still can't stomach it. How can someone like MajBobby be on here full force after a loss just ripping the QB to shreds, but after a win like today, he's silent. It's so backwards it offends the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-BillzeBubba Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 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... There were LOTs of Denver fans in my section (329), but they were quiet as church-mice Until the Miller penalty, and then a lot of em were swearing and then just left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grb Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 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 All this is 100% right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I still think TT sucks and I thought the D was legit after game 1. But aril think they're a sub 8 win team with TT. The run game has been shut down and TT can't and won't win games by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run game was of course shut down and Tyrod did win, against a top rated 2-0 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The professional Tyrod haters seem to have quieted down. I'll give it two days before they say he sucks again. Why would they complain after a victory? Then people call you a moaner. Don't worry, Tyrod is gonna **** the bed again. Most people have figured out that Tyrod is a talented guy, who can win some games. They just have also figured out that it's highly unlikely that Tyrod will take any team to the Promised Land.

y2zipper Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I saw some better playcalls but TT is still VERY inconsistent at being a dropback pocket passer. Mixing play action and getting Taylor to the outside worked some. This looked like a typical game from him to me. That drive at the end of the first half was fantastic also. The defense was legit to me. I like the philosophy of making teams chunk it down the field because a lot of teams struggle with that. I see a plan that can work, but that doesn't have its talent yet.

Dr. K Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Even though I have my questions about McBeane, I'm very pleased to see them play this well. They definitely look like a much better coached team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
