ctk232 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Down 7 with 3 minutes and change left with TT leading us down the field? 25% chance is what I told myself...then we scored. Still scared when TB had the ball, AAAAND still scared when we kicked off with 14 seconds left (forward lateral ptsd), AND on that last play with the laterals waiting for them to end it... I don't think any Bills fan over the age of 25 sat through that last four minutes and at any point had absolute confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 When the Bucs tied it I was just thinking of the wasted opportunities the Bills left on the field. When the Bucs scored to take the lead, I was upset and thought that was the game. The Bills proved me wrong. If the Bills can keep being productive on offense then I can be retrained to think the Bills are never out of it. Just not quite there yet.

WhoTom Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Man, you gotta play to the whistle. Would you guys have turned off the Houston comeback game when we went down 35-3? Just suspend judgement til the final gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 C'mon, admit it. Even with zeros on the clock, you were watching TB run the razzle dazzle play, and kept moving the ball from player to player, and somewhere deep in the back of your mind you were thinking "If these sonsabitches score on this freaking play..." That play lasted a long time and was getting on my nerves. However, the play kept going backwards, so I wasn't freaked out about it. I think the play was ruled down at the original line of scrimmage.

NickelCity Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Let's pretend the win doesn't count. Lol. Nailed it. Hell, when was the last time you saw an interception by an Italian, for crying out loud? This is signature-level gold. This thread is a peach. Ah, what a Monday.

CommonCents Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 My nephew is 7 and he watches the games with us every week. This is the first time he had his hopes crushed and then the Bills ended up winning. That's a priceless moment. This team is fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. K Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I'm a believer that no team in any sport any year any time wins without a couple star players. That's why I was against the Watkins trade. I thought and still think he will be a star player. That's debatable for sure but let's not argue that here. Right now we have one star player, Shady. Star players make game changing plays at opportune times because they are stars. There is something about them that makes them different. There are only let's say 60 of them at any one time in the league. Some teams have 3-4 and some 0-1. After six games it's possible that Tre White will be a star. It's surely not a given. But what he did in this game is what star players do. He has made a bunch of great plays in his six game career. His return of a fumble in the Falcon game was a star player play because not everyone would have picked the ball up like that. He actually practices that every day. He grabs obvious incomplete passes in practice during the week, scoops them up and runs them all the way back to the endzone just to make that his mindset. Players have spoken about it. It's one of those I don't know how it works but it's true things. In hockey, the puck gravitates to star players Very interesting, and I think true. I agree the Bills don't have any stars right now except Shady. I wish they had not traded Watkins but there's no point in debating that now. Watching Taylor at QB is a roller coaster experience. He misses so many ordinary plays through inaccurate throws, holding the ball too long, not seeing the field. But then he makes plays that few if any QBs in the league can make. I can't say I feel confident that he will ever be a QB to regularly lead a team back from a deficit, but he's what we've got now and his talents are not inconsiderable. I was glad to see Dennison put in some of the sort of run plays that the Bills did so well the last few seasons. I hope he continues to be so flexible.

BRH Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 When Shady fumbled I got up and went in the other room; I couldn't take watching anymore so I started following the game on Twitter. Part of the problem was that my dad was dealing with the stress by looking at his iPad and my son was busily texting on his phone. They had already mentally checked out, something that I do in other sports (Mets/Sabres/Cuse) but can't seem to do with the Bills. I need to either be alone or be with people who are as invested as I am. So off to Twitter I went. When the Bucs scored I said, hell with it, and went back and stood in the doorway to watch what I was sure would end up being a loss. Then boom, boom, boom, we scored, and my first reaction was "we left too much time on the clock." But I stayed in the doorway rather than resume my seat, and then came the fumble and the FG. I figured we had it by then so I took my seat, only to almost regret it with that stupid Cal-Stanford play at the end. Hell yes I thought someone was going to leave his lane and there was going to be some Music City Miracle BS. I clearly need help, and I know I'm not alone.

IDBillzFan Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I clearly need help, and I know I'm not alone. After the Shady fumble, I mused to my wife how if any other thing in my life consistently gave me as much grief as watching a Bills game, I would fix it. If the Bills were a woman, or a job, or an employee -- anything other than a football team -- I'd stop spending time with them. But somehow, every Sunday, even though I know what's coming, there I am...in front of the TV...holding a sign that apparently says "Thank you, sir. May I have another."

BuffaloFan68 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 When it was 27-27 I was expecting Tampa to score a TD to put the pressure on our O and then I figured Tyrod would throw a pick or collapse under pressure. Nice to see a different outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Be honest how many here thought we were in real trouble? Even tying it at 27-27 I was nervous Tampa was gonna milk the clock at get a field goal. Years of seeing bad results, has always made me skeptical. Still the Atlanta game and today's are gradually changing that in me a little. Still a ways to go but glad about today. Go Bills! I thought it was over. I think I even posted on here saying "Same old Bills" Clearly I was wrong and was happy to be so CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I was golfing early in the day so I set the DVR to record the game...when we finished our round we had a beer and I couldn't help but see the halftime score so I hustled home to watch the rest of it live. When Shady fumbled at 20-20 I actually got up and went to take a shower. I just knew the Bills would blow it and didn't want to see it. I came out of the shower to see the 27-20 score, a moment before the big pass to Thompson. Needless to say I watched from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I think any Bills fan who's paid attention these last few years thought it was over and for good reason. You had all the ingredients of a loss. Bucs had all the momentum. Six points were left on the board. The Bucs offense looked unstoppable with a hot quarterback in Winston with two great WR's and we lost Gaines. Taylor's history of failing miserably to come back in the 4th quarter. I'm still stunned they came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) This team is not built for come from behind victories. Yesterday was a pleasant surprise. The coaches cost us at least 3-6 pts for pure clock/play management stupidity. We might not have that luxury in the future. I think that win yesterday will do wonders for Tyrod's confidence. Deonte will help. We're not blowing anyone out but we should be in most games. Edited October 23, 2017 by LABILLBACKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
