Denver Gift


Irv

Recommended Posts

Very happy about the outcome of the game. But Denver really screwed up.

 

  1. Failed fake punt - dumb
  2. Interception #1 - awful
  3. Interception #2 - even worse
  4. Von Miller penalty - freebie from the zebra

 

I liked the outcome because normally we are the ones doing dumb things or not getting calls. But have you seen two worse interceptions than the ones Trevor Siemian made? That was sandlot worthy. Who does a fake punt in that situation? The Miller penalty was a no call. I also doubt that when the winds start blowing we are going to see two 53+ yard field goals again.

 

Good coaches like the Hoodie and QB's like Matt Ryan and Tom Brady do not make those kind of mistakes. Need to see more before buying Super Bowl tickets.

 

Sincerely,

Debbie Downer

Who is saying their Super Bowl contenders after this win?

 

Yeah the Miller was a freebie but the Charles TD run was an egregious hold that wasn't called. Instead of a TD, they are backed up 10 yards.

Washington's hands weren't in the offensive lineman's face. That was a freebie for Denver.

 

Haushka made those field goals with about 10 yards clearance.

 

You're acting like the Bills had all the calls and Denver didn't.

 

Bottom line, we won comfortably at the end.

Even though the word is that Von Miller & Tyrod are friends (and Miller was joking around), in the eyes of the Ref,

it was definitely "unsportsman-like conduct". Assume Miller didn't know TT and did that gesture as shown. It was bad judgment and unprofessional.

15 yards - carry on!

I think the point the OP is making is although we played well, Denver made a ton of dumb uncharacteristic mistakes and without those maybe it's a different outcome. So pump the brakes on us being a good team all of a sudden. It's a long season and we haven't even played the tough teams yet

Agree. The refs are supposed to try to curb behavior that could lead to more trouble ... and that looked like an action on Miller's part that could have escalated into something nasty later.

 

One thing I'm wondering about is how much of a role the heat and humidity played in seeming to take the fight out of the Broncos defense in the second half. I was expecting that D to come out roaring, but it just wasn't anything like the defense in the previous two games ... and it was worse in the second half.

 

It gets hot in Denver, but the city generally has low humidity. It's also at a high elevation, which is always a plus for Denver at home. I would think that the humidity and higher air pressure because of the lower elevation might have been somewhat draining on the Donkeys, especially their front seven as the game progressed.

This was a great win against a solid team. Im not gonna diminish it. You can point to five or six moments that swing most games. The Jets win was irrelevant. We were a nine point favorite. One of the most meaningless wins I can remember. This was totally different. We were underdogs. We looked totally mismatched against their defense yet we got the job done. Hopefully this year is different and this team uses this win as a springboard. Gift from Denver. Nope. Im having none of that. We kicked their a$$. Period. Exclamation point.

Before the calls starting going our way there were a few against us that were complete BS. As far as I'm concerned there were blown calls that went both ways.

 

It irks me that people are making such a big deal of the Von Miller penalty. Sure it was huge but it didn't win us the game, we were ahead by that point and our defense was playing really well obviously. Even if we don't get points and run the clock down there they don't get an automatic win if that call isn't made.

 

The refs didn't hand us a win if that's what you're thinking. Denver played poorly but we also played well and we're improving on both sides of the ball.

If you really think about it, it's an embarrassing win.

Im not embarrassed. At least one of those interceptions came as a result of intense pressure on the QB and in the past, fake punts like that have worked and ruined an otherwise good game. And calls like the one on Miller have gone against us. You make your own luck in this league by doing most of the fundamental things right. I am proud, not embarrassed.

Is this a real post? You realize only ONE team has Tom Brady and the hoodie right? Are we gong to delegitimize every win by saying "Brady would have beaten us" now? Because most teams in the NFL can say that year after year. And Matt Ryan and the coaches just blew the Super Bowl. So your statements are beyond absurd in the first place.

 

No offense, but I absolutely hate this thread, what your wrote, and this absurd logic. Where was this logic when Zay Jones blew a win week 2 by running a terrible route forcing him to turn what was a game winning throw into a tough catch that would have won us the game? How about you delegitimize that loss now, because we SHOULD be 3-0 if not for a rookie mistake.

 

You guys go OUT OF YOUR WAY to delegitimize real production by some our players on a regular basis, 2 hot topics this year are trying to down play just how talented and productive Sammy REALLY was when healthy along with trying to downplay every successful play and positive stat associated with Tyrod. Now you are trying to discredit a win agains a team that has a tremendous defense and had been rolling the first 2 weeks of the season?

 

This thread is so bad it should be locked. I don't know why anyone bothers to come to this board anymore. TSW should stand for "The Silliest Whiners" board.

 

PS: Let me know when you start the "Carolina Gift" thread where we gifted them a win by a rookie mistake.

That is an embrassing comment- think about it. We played disciplined football, something all of us have been dying to see in a long time. The NFL is full of parity- more times than not the more disciplined, better coached teams win. That is todays NFL and why Rex will never coach again.

its a board joke that goes back to the 2014 season. Bills beat Vikes on last second TD and there was a big thread titled "Embarrassing Win"! because Vikes weren't good and Bills just barely won at home.

Matt Ryan threw 3 picks yesterday. Including a pick 6.

 

Some of you fans are incredible. Now you make excuses for wins.

The only real gift was the penalty by Von Miller because it was kinda soft, and put an end to the game by giving us a first down.

 

You can't complain about the interceptions though. We have a good defense. How about some kudos. And also, the Bills gave totally been on the other end of those spirit crushing interceptions. Do you remember Fitz? We have a QB good at not turning the ball over. That is underrated, and totally ignored by your post.

 

The fake punt was dumb, but that coaching. That's something Rex would do, and something to get a coach fired.

 

Overall, the only gift was the penalty.

Denver is Exhibit A of trying to win without a franchise QB. They are the Super Bowl favorite with a Brady, Rodgers, Roethlesberger, and still a top 5 Super Bowl contender with a lower end but still franchise QB like a Cousins. With a capable marginal starter who is not a franchise guy they can lose to a well coached team of castoffs and journeymen.

I think the Bills have some very good players. Castoffs and journeymen is a bit harsh. Just how good has yet to be seen. Beating Atlanta is another step in the right direction.

Disagree about the fake punt being categorically "dumb" or inherently a "bad call" from the Denver coaching staff.

 

It was a calculated risk that had a good upside if it worked, and a bad downside if it failed.

 

We got 3 points out of it, but not more, which may have well been part of the Denver thinking when they tried it.

 

It was not so much "bad" by Denver but "Good" by us, being ready for it, playing responsibly, and taking care of business when we should have.

 

Many Bills teams in the last many years would NOT have stopped that play!

 

But this one did! That is really encouraging.

This. And turnovers are part of every game in the NFL and usually are the deciding factor. Better let the OP know that. By the way OP, Houston dropped a game ending pick from Brady yesterday.

why must we constantly try to diminish a win? the Bills D was incredible, and they stopped an offense, that is more than capable of moving up the field. the offense wasn't the highlight but they made some pretty impressive plays, and had some really nice drives. every game has bad bounces, questionable calls, and plays one team wishes they could have back. the Bills won. simple.

methinks it was sarcasm.
