Mark Vader Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Zay Jones, Kaelin Clay, and Brandon Tate along with Nick O'Leary at TE made up the Bills' receiving corps today. Tough sledding without Matthews and Charles Clay as legitimate threats. Very tough. I give credit to O'leary. He stepped up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 We've been 3-2 the every season since 2014, it means nothing. The only difference this year is the defense has been overachieving and lights out, that will no doubt tail off soon like years past. In fact it kind of did today anyway despite the 3 TO's we were lit up by Andy Dalton. Without the TO's we lose by 14+ points and in some ways I wish we would have to magnify this teams issues even more but no doubt that type of loss is coming soon anyway. If we traded WR rosters with the Bengals today we would have won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 How many negative runs did shady have today..? Absolute drive killers. Then there was the holding on Logan Thomas during Shady's big run, that was a game killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 So, this is a close one. Without offensive weapons, this is how we're going to lose all year. Couldn't make plays when we had so many turnovers. This kind of loss is on Beane. That's why it is a half tank. The defense failed us on the last two drives by Cincinnati. The supposed strength of our team got outmuscled by a weak Bengals offensive line. Emotionally and mentally they did not get up for the Bengals. That's how you get out played physically. That's on McDermott. McDermott couldn't prepare his team to get up mentally and emotionally to face and beat a beatable Bengals team. Whereas a Belicheat would have. That's the difference between good coaching and great coaching. It isn't just X and Os. And folks, beating whom you're supposed to beat is what very good teams do. Winning games after emotional victories is what very good teams do. This is the next step this team, including the coaches, have to take. That's the progression we as fans need to be looking for. (Jaguars for instance, keep losing to bad teams this season, after having big wins vs strong opponents. And we're coincidentally, with identical records.). We'll get more opportunities for this in the coming weeks to see if they take the next step. (edit - copypasta from other thread as this post is more relevant for post-game). You mean how Bellicheat had his Patriots up to lose two home games already this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Four. Three in the second half... Bad penalties by our line, bad sacks by everyone, bad receivers... just a bad offense. Doesn’t get better with a rookie qb I couldn't imagine watching this team and thinking Shady was the problem. He was A problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinTheMagician Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 This team is much better than last year's 3-2 team. Regardless of final record, the arrow is up and it is obvious. Lorax almost killed AJ Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Then there was the holding on Logan Thomas during Shady's big run, that was a game killer.Even worse was Taylor's run on 3rd down for the 1st to Bengals 20-25.. replay showed no hold at all, that was a killer. Tough road loss. Optimistic we can get to 5-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 If we can't effectively run the ball we will struggle on offense. I would sign Rod Streeter if healthy and promote brandon reilly. Tate was our best wr today which is all anyone needs to know. Not sure why Andre Holmes is on this team he is terrible. I would cut him now.

Westside Madness Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 We are 3-2 and still lead the AFCE. I am curious to see what they do during the bye. That being said, Tyrod needs to make decisions. He spends so much time in the pocket, when he drops back, I could get up, drive to OP, walk in and sack him before he throws/gets sacked. That has to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 As bad as this loss feels, image how worse it will feel if Deshaun Watson lights up KC tonight. McDermott may be forced to start Taylor the rest of the year to make sure they'll have a top five pick to right the wrong of not picking Watson (if he is the real deal as it appears so far).
