vincec Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Just now, HappyDays said: Whaley left them with a huge mess. It's taking them 2 seasons just to clean it up, and next they have to restock the shelves. Anyone who thought this team was close was kidding themselves. We had very little talent and a salary cap filled with underperforming players. So far it looks like we have a franchise CB, QB, LT, and MLB. We didn't have a single franchise player when they took over other than Kyle Williams on his last legs. This year we lost Wood and Incognito to retirement. What did you honestly expect? How are they "restocking the shelves" by cleaning house? How many players are left on the team from when they took over? Generally, you keep the players you have until you are able to find their replacements. That hasn't been their approach. This is the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacchus44 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 My fear if we start Allen going forward is someone going for his knee with that colander of an offensive line that we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills coach Sean McDermott said after Sunday's 47-3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that he will "look at the tape" before deciding his starting quarterback when the Bills host the Los Angeles Chargers next Sunday. "Overall, I thought we could have been better at a number of positions," McDermott said. "I’ve gotta look at the tape, to be honest with you, to get a better feel for exactly making sure we were in the right spots for [Nathan Peterman] as well before I give you a better readout on that.” Peterman was benched in the third quarter after completing five of 18 passes for 24 yards and two interceptions.

sleeby Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 No mention of CB Gaines here yet. They seemed to find him open for business in their first drive of the game and then picked that nit a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maine-iac Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Doesn't matter how much you restock the shelves if you can't coach offense you are just shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. I have no problems with McD as a coach but he seems completely unable to recognize talent on the offensive side of the ball either in players or coaches.

dubs Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 The biggest (and virtually only) criticism I have of the FO right now is the OLine. I’m assuming the plan was in place before wood And incognito retired and they decided not to adjust accordingly. I can respect that. But man, I wish they had been able to put something better together. It’s so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but you can't act like Bill Belichick in front of the media if you have zero track record of success. The fans deserve some outrage from their head coach. I understand the frustration but they did make the playoffs last year. They're not exactly 0-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I place the blame directly on the shoulders of McDermott and his plagiarized "process." Let's place the following 3 quarterbacks in order of who is better: Tyrod Peterman McCarron McDermott never should have put Peterman in.....LAST YEAR. When he did, it resulted what may have been the worst performance in NFL history. He didn't throw AS many picks today because defenders dropped the slippery, wet balls thrown right at them. McDermott got rid of 2 clearly superior quarterbacks and played a sub-par college level quarterback. I can't think of any acceptable excuse to play Peterman. This is cruel to the players on the team and painful the fans. Process? Yeah, sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also just remembered we got an extra 1st round pick and still got White. So we used 2 drafts worth of 1st rounders on 3 franchise players. Whaley used 4 and got nothing. I can't believe he still has his fans around here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 GAME RECAP: Bills drop season opener to Ravens Location: M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD Regular season records: Buffalo (0-1), Baltimore (1-0) In a nutshell: The Bills couldn’t get anything going in the passing game. They struggled to gain yardage on the ground, as well. Couple this with a few mishaps on defense and special teams, and it accounts for a 44-point loss in Baltmore. The offense failed to make plays throughout the day, not picking up a first down until the second half. A quarterback change helped energize the offense a bit in the second half, but the talented Baltimore defense was able to keep Buffalo to three points. The explosive Ravens offense put points up early and often on Sunday, entering halftime with a 26-point lead. Baltimore added to their lead in the second half, ultimately winning the contest by a score of 47-3. With the loss, the Bills fell to 0-1 on the season.

Did you know Tyrod threw for less than 200 yards in 8 of his 14 starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
