MarlinTheMagician Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Guess I will have to keep posting this until we have unanimity. It's just the Jets! We are tough at home, trap game for Broncos! Atlanta - Julio out after a bit, Sunu too! Time to believe your lying eyes people! Bills fans are like beaten animals waiting for the next blow. We have a good team!

SaviorPeterman Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I'll say maybe simply because we have beat three teams that are .500 or better (yes including the Jets who all of a sudden look much better these last few weeks). But again, it's not what you do in the Sept/Oct that matters, it's what you do when the stakes are higher and the pretenders are separated from the contenders come Nov/Dec/Jan. Only real concern at this point is what adjustments this team makes now that we are seeing more injuries settle in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 We have a very good defense. Offense still does have some pretty big ??? On it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It's feeling like there is potential now. That is somewhat different, yes. More games seem to be on the table as winnable. Everything but NE and KC seems possible to me. Still offensive concerns that need to be worked out. ATL was without two WRs and the Bills could have shut the door earlier and let them kind of hang around with underneath throws. It was a bug win and one that should give them great confidence. The O needs to hit the practice field and Deniisson is going to need to get creative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 We have a competitive team I would say. They should stay in most games. But lets not book the playoffs just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Boy Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 This was our biggest win since Greeb Bay. We ARE beaten dogs who have been taking it for a long time. The Patriots also look as if they are coming back to earth. I have to say it is still WAY TOO EARLY to declare anything about this team other than we have a legitimate chance to contend for the playoffs at this point. However, it is October first and a lot can change between now and late November/ early December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 No one is booking squat. BUT PEOPLE - IT IS IN FACT DIFFERENT. This is not a Trent Edwards/Fitz head fake. We are building a solid ball club. Final record? Who knows! But isn't it fun not to make the stupid game losing play? To always be the one called for the crucial penalty so we are left whining about the refs? I think we are kind of thin on talent, but the cavalry is coming. Six picks folks. Woo-hoo! Be happy! Great time to be a Bills fan. All hail McDermott. Not tanking, not evaluative, not making bad trades. On the contrary - sole possession of first place and THE BEST conference record in AFC at the quarter pole. Wow. You could have got 200/1 against us beating Broncos and Falcons in consecutive weeks. This is a developing story. Will be fun to see how it plays out. Not early for any of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Very different,as I agreed every week. The difference is there is nothing flukey about our wins, and our only defeat was extremely close. We are a top 6 AFC team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsmovinup Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I would say its starting to. Im stll giving it to the eight game mark but theyve played two really great games in a row. This is what a Tyrod Taylor led offense looks like with a real defense. Won the turnover battle again. Bill Parcells football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The things this season so far have proved: We're not as void of talent as many of the experts both nationally and on this board thought. Coaching may really make a bigger difference than talent does. We still have six picks next year in the first 3 rounds which can be used to improve many positions. The only downside to this is IF we want a potential top 5 pick QB, maybe need to give up all the picks to get up there as opposed to with a 4-12 record, may have only needed to give up half the picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yes it does. Don't let the naysayers dismiss this win by saying Julio and Sanu were out. Jordan Matthews was out an we have a very unreliable rookie wide receiver.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinTheMagician Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 We have a top 5 NFL quarterback in development before our very eyes. Well, maybe top 10 someday. But GOOD ENOUGH! Those picks are going to do a wonderful job solidifying the roster. Sorry haters. But you will enjoy a true #1 receiver, a couple LBs, a couple linemen. We will be BEAST! It is never too early to be happy about 3-1 and first place at the quarter pole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I was 100% convinced we were going to lose by 1 and the Falcons were going to score a TD on that last drive.

They're all sucking. I don't want them Trading up at all next year, keep the picks and build a SOLD TEAM...they have 6 picks in the first 3 rounds, should be able to build a team that does not need a HOF QB to win and they groom Peterman behind Tyrod....as proved Tyrod is not Great but will win games with a Great Def.

MarlinTheMagician Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Me too. That's why it's different. We ALWAYS lose this game - except now. I had to blink on the 4th down incompletion, then wait for the flag that didn't come, then blink. Then it was just: "oh my goodness. This is impossible."

Another Fan Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Today was awesome and wonderful! Having said that I think I have to wait until Week 8 to get really pumped up. In 2008 & 2011 we were 4-1, even last year we were 4-2 to start. We know how those years wound up. Nonetheless this is still super awesome.

richardb1952 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It's always better to be up 6 on defense than down 6 on offense unless you are the Bills of old, then you would need to be up by at least 11 and pray. Great win. Who would have thought we would be 3 - 1 and in first place in our division. Long way to go, but what a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xRUSHx Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It was a big win enjoy it but it's still early in the season they didn't just win the SB they still need to keep it up to make this a playoff run. Yes it feels a lot different, man to win today really changed my outlook on this team. Offense could get better but they did enough and made it happen for the win. Thank God for those long FGs and this powerhouse D, I can't even complain about Tyrod, this was a great win. Go Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Hoping the O becomes a more solid unit but yes, this definitely feels different. Getting Cordy back and Powell too should help.
