Overseas Bills Fan Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) POSITIVES: Come from behind gut check was nice. Putting up 13 points in 10 minutes of the 4th quarter was nicer. Shady looking like Shady was sweet. Nick O'Leary being clutch was sweeter. Timely turnovers was great. Finding Thompson and him performing for 100+ yd receiving game was greater. Tyrod's passing day (to everyone but Jones) was awesome. Defense stuffing the run and forcing passing only was even more awesome A win like that was good. Forcing four turnovers was better. Putting up 30 points on offense was even better 3-0 at home and 4-2 (should be 6-0) 40% into the season and looking up is the best. NEGATIVES Two catches in nine targets for Zay Jones sucks. Accounted for most of TT's incomplete passes. Getting picked apart in the air makes me worry about facing the Pats in December. Leaving at least six points on the field after turnovers should have cost the Bills the game. Time management and play calling at the end of the 1st half was laughable and disgusting. GRADES QB: A- RB: A+ WR: B+ (Would be A if not for Zay Jones) TE: A+ OL: A DL: A LB: B+ (soft in the middle) DB: A ST: A (one missed FG) Coaching: B+ (that end of the 1st half BS was stupid and amateurish) OVERALL: A TRAP GAME WARNING: Oakland is big time beatable, but like Cincy, this is a big time trap game.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Bills kicker Stephen Hauschka joins Blair Walsh, Robbie Gould, Justin Tucker and Matt Prater as the only kickers in league history to make 12 straight kicks from 50+ yards following his 52-yard kick early in the fourth.

CommonCents Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I think an A for the DB's and a B+ for the LB's is being really kind. After Gaines went out the communication/coverage was pretty bad. Multiple times a Buccaneer caught a pass with no one even in the camera shot from the Buffalo Bills.

He will find a way to fix the kinds of things every team faces during the season. It's what a real coach does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofton80 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Milano interception was an athletic play. Unfortunately, we did not cash in after interception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 TRAP GAME WARNING: Oakland is big time beatable, but like Cincy, this is a big time trap game. How is it a trap when you are playing a team in Conference that was predicted by many to go deep into the play-offs and possibly in the Super Bowl, prior to the start of the season?

KW95 - JA17 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Entertainment wise: it was an excellent game. Taylor is a good scrambler, but the stars must align for him to win a game. Yesterday they weren't aligned and somehow we got the win....something that even my wife was baffled by when I told her we won after being down 7 with 3 minutes to go. Also, my inlaws have never seen the Bills win a game in 10 years. They saw them win against the Broncos.....THE BILLS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO GREAT THINGS!

Agree...When the Bills are a perennial playoff team they can have trap games. When you haven't been in the playoffs for the entire century, you aren't good enough to have trap games.

This was an exciting win. It was great to see the offense show some life. It was particularly fun to watch the Bills demonstrate heart by coming back from 27-20. But overall an "A"??? Winston gashed us for 384 yards passing while the Bucs earned both more total yards and first downs than us. While our offense put up 30 points, they also missed some critical opportunities off turnovers. A great win but not an "A" performance against a 2-4 team.

While our offense put up 30 points, they also missed some critical opportunities off turnovers. A great win but not an "A" performance against a 2-4 team. It wasn't an "A" game in the classical sense. Where they dominated both sides of the ball. But what was an "A" game aside from their offense today was their character, their grit. I think many of us fans thought we were going to lose once the score went 27-20. This team fought through it and made plays when it counted. Winston looked like an All Pro yesterday, the guy was on fire. We really went up against an offense that was hitting on just about all cylinders in the passing game. To come away with a victory was damn impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Beating the Raiders will make a believer out of me. That game is going to be a defensive grinder. I'm curious about what happened yesterday in the second half. Did TB make offensive adjustments that worked or did we make defensive adjustments that didn't work?

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Maybe I missed it but did McD come out and state that was the play he told TT to run, to throw it to the guy in the flat 3 yards up field? Even the play prior was that the planned 1st option Time management and play calling at the end of the 1st half was laughable and disgusting. Coaching: B+ (that end of the 1st half BS was stupid and amateurish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
