Foreigner Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Brian Costello beat reporter many years for the New York Jets in todays New York Post has called the Bills overrated. His exact words "an overrated Bills team". Now I really doubt that he has seen every minute of every Bills game this. Me, I really disagree with him, feeling the Bills are not overrated but have overachieved. Perhaps not having the talent of some other NFL team after sending Watkins, Woods, Gilmour, Darby and Dareus, etc. the Bills are a agressive hard playing team, that lays it all out there every game. Tops in takeaways with 11 INT's and 6 fumbles have they been lucky or good in that aspect of the game? I think it is a little of both and at this point we do not where the rest of the season takes us. However one thing is certain, and that the first 7 games are in the books for 2017 and whatever else happens, no one can take away the results so far,and for those of us proud of this team so far, enjoy.

aceman_16 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Best way to shut him up is to win. Heck, I think Kansas City is overrated every year and their lack of playoff success proves my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I think the Bills are rated pretty accurately right now. I have the them at 11 behind the Eagles, Chiefs, Patriots, Steelers, Seahawks, Saints, Panthers, Cowboys, Rams, and Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjt328 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) In my opinion, the Bills have had "playoff caliber" talent since probably around 2012. But they have been held back by poor coaching and constantly changing offensive/defensive schemes, which have failed to capitalize on that talent. It also doesn't help to have New England in your division, making it impossible for a decent/good team to have any chance other than a wild card. Â It's a little ironic, after letting a good chunk of that talent go (Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, Marcel Dareus, Zach Brown, Stephon Gilmore, Ronald Darby) -- that our team seems to be coming together and playing better. Â Are we getting better coaching? Are the players being utilized better this year? Were the guys we let go just overrated? Are we getting lucky so far this season, and it will eventually catch up? I guess nobody can answer those questions definitively after only 7 games. The Oakland win helped raise my confidence and optimism. But I still worry this season could fall apart quickly. I really can't blame Costello for feeling that way. Edited November 2, 2017 by mjt328 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Guy Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 The only angle I could see that supports that is that we needed some very long FG kicks early to win games, and that our ridiculously awesome 4 turnovers per game as of late is unsustainable, which it is. Â On the other hand, our only two losses are by 6 and 3pts. That single coverage on AJ Green against the Bengals cost us a 75 yarder that ultimately was the difference in the game, and we were a Zay Jones rookie mistake away from beating Carolina. That's two plays away from being undefeated and having the best record in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
