Billsfan1972 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Koolaid. Okay I get it Rex did not live up to the hype. However they were 15-17..... The new HO & Coach has fed the masses this story about how bad the team is and that they need to tear it down before they can turn it around. They were fine. Tweaks on the offense, discipline (less penalties) and the defense that improved and this was a decent team. Instead the offense was gutted and TT hung out to dry with no WR's. Let's go back to the corp after 2 weeks of pre-season...... Watkins, Boldon & Jones..... Something happened and Watkins given away (and I will keep repeating it) as he was establishing rapport with TT and Boldon decided not worth it. I was excited to see a better Offense and a healthy Watkins and they dismantled the team and fed us this line and sold some on draft picks...... I call bull......

CommonCents Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Sooo bad. Boldin is toast, anytime someone mentions him as if he gave up on TT or the Bills you lose all credibility. He had played with Taylor previously, he left because Sammy got traded? Yah ok sure. Sammy and Boldin are polar opposites, weren't they arguing on the sideline a day before the trade?? Boldin retired before he got axed. He signed with the Bills because their lack of WR talent gave him a chance to make it. After the preseason game they watch the tape? Right? A WR running with cinder blocks on his feet probably wasn't a big hit, Boldin knew his time was up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCBongo Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So far, this regime has not over promised anything. The coach seems to be a good football mind and the GM we will have to see at the draft. The team is playing better than last year and the defense looks solid. Sit back, relax, enjoy the show. Lets see what they do with the bye week and evaluate an entire year. At least we are not the Giants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the same 3-2 record? Same way Reggie Wayne has 64 catches then retired during TC the following year. Both guys were at the end of the line and once it's gone it's gone. This is a young man's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I wonder if Dicky J. would still say winning in the NFL is hard if he got to play against everyone's third string QB. Probably not. Then break the QB's thumb. Defintely not, well maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the goal is to build something more sustainable. We have 20% of our cap tied up in a lazy DT and an OT who's developing an injury problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills won the day they had to play Atlanta. All things considered in the finality of it there is no reason for using this win to be optimistic on any future games.

That's your definition of steam rolled? it's very misleading. he completely discounts a win in atlanta, but pumps up a win against the pats who were playing their 3rd string qb. He must think Saved by the Bell the New Class was better than the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I did not discount it, just commented that they were severely shorthanded and was pointing out they beat the Pats convincingly in 2016, shut them out in fact and their offense was productive (i.e. moved the ball) that day. Of course I realize who they beat, but just explaining in both 2016 & 2017 the Bills were 3-2...... Looks pretty much identical. My continual statement is that if Watkins & Boldin were still here I'd actually expect the Bills to be 4-1 or 5-0. But the FO made sure that wouldn't happen. Maybe they are a bad judge of talent not realizing this was a playoff team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
