Fadingpain Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The first half looked like the Ravens game and like we would struggle to win a single game this year. That changed at halftime and the 2nd half was a much more closely played game and entertaining at times. So let's hope the 2nd half Bills show up some more. I still see 2 more losses for sure and we'll be 0-4 going into the Tennessee game. At this point, pray we don't look horrible, pray we don't get blown out, and pray that Allen slowly and consistently improves every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, are Frasier's days numbered? Mc better continue to call the defensive plays until a new DC comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 45 minutes ago, EersN'Bills said: 1.) Defense in the 2nd Half after McD took over the playcalling. 2.) Allen. For his first game, with that offense, he played well. Made rookie mistakes but that's to be expected. Right now, we're projected to have $90 Million in cap space next offseason according to Spotrac and will have a high draft pick. The future is bright. Yep. In my mind, I know this is true, and I even know this season is necessary in order to get where we all want to go. But still ... do we have to make it THIS painful? I mean, other teams tank in an ordinary manner. They're competitive, then they slip, then they decide it's time to rebuild from the ground up, and everyone knows what's happening and just kind of lives with it. The Bills, on the other hand, sucker us into believing that the big step forward just happened (playoffs!) only to pull the rug out from under us in the most stunning way possible.

But Allen - I hope it’s not just the homer glasses, but he looks like the deal. Of course he’ll make rookie mistakes, but let’s get this guy a line and a few real receivers. The 2 decade search.may be over ? This made me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedboy7 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 1 hour ago, Warcodered said: Next year there needs to be serious improvement on the team talent wise. I'd like them to do well that year but I'd accept a middle of the road year as the team has to get in sync with a bunch of new guys. Year after that though they need to be good. How do you convince a bunch of talent to come to this? Money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 1 hour ago, Success said: I mean, we arguably have the worst line and wr corps in the league. Imagine Allen with even average units for both areas? I loved how he looked today. I didn't. I mean it was OK but even on many completed passes the ball placement was terrible. He took some bad sacks missing open receivers. He made some bad decisions. He threw 2 bad INTs. Yes he did some good things too but with the knowledge that the easiest time for a rookie QB to look really good is his first game where the DCs have literally nothing to go off of, Allen is going to need to take some pretty big steps forward each week to even duplicate this game once DCs get tape on him. Wentz looked all world his first 4 games then came down to earth and looked bad most of the rest of his rookie year. Allen has a lot of improvement to make quickly or he is going to look really bad by week 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really disturbing. He's a former head coach who McD brought in for some stability and wisdom. But this defense was pathetic. What the hell? Why would McD not have this understanding with Frasier earlier? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It was garbagetime after the third LA score amd the Bills came out with some fight in the 2nd half, appreciated and they did their best not to show on TV how empty the lower tier of fans was early in the 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 What we learned so far from Sunday's Week 2 games Los Angeles Chargers 31, Buffalo Bills 20 1. It wasn't a flawless performance, but cross-country treks in Week 2 of any NFL season typically don't breed peerless performances. In the end, the Chargers (1-1) did everything they needed to do to win against a beatable opponent. Philip Rivers led the way, completing 23 of 27 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns. Two of those touchdown passes were to Melvin Gordon, who finished the game with three TDs on 66 total yards. Austin Ekeler helped out with 77 yards on 11 carries in addition to making three catches for 21 yards. Most of this production came in the first half when the Chargers offense seemed to be more or less operating at will against a Buffalo defense that managed to make some progress since last week's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. While the Chargers definitely showed flashes of what they're capable of on offense, it seemed like the whole thing lost its voltage once the team took a three-TD lead. They probably aren't on the same level as the molten-hot Chiefs' offense, but it seems the Chargers are capable of offering more when it comes to lighting up the scoreboard. 2. Josh Allen's first career start for the Bills (0-2) was packed full of big-armed, rookie drama. The first-round pick completed 18 of 33 passes for 245 yards and a touchdown in tandem with eight carries for 32 yards. He also threw two interceptions and hardly had a chance to breathe easy playing behind a offensive line that couldn't keep the pressure off. Still, it was definitely a step beyond the Nathan Peterman experience that went nowhere in Week 1. Allen definitely did enough to keep his starting quarterback role, piecing together some good throws in combination with some gutsy runs. His 57-yard pass to Zay Jones got a standing ovation from the crowd at New Era even if the team did run into the tunnel at halftime amid a smattering of boos. Allen will continue to grow and improve, but the lack of on-field supporting staff will continue to make it a hard-knocks life for the rookie moving forward. 3. LeSean McCoy said earlier this week the Bills needed to do a better job giving Allen support, and they sort of did that -- at least they did it more than they did in Week 1. McCoy tallied 39 yards on a nine carries and also caught four passes for 29 yards. However, his afternoon came to an abrupt end when he left the game in the fourth quarter after suffering an injury to his ribs. -- Austin Knoblauch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Hmm. I wonder what this means for Frazier. Obviously, the defense was a whole lot better in the second half. I think it is a given that McDermott is more aggressive calling the defensive plays than Frazier. WillFrazier want to continue in the role of DC? Will McDermott want him to? If he does, will McDermott have Frazier call some games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Watching the PC of McDermot and Allen they both seemed to go okay. McDermot probably gave the best PC I've seen from him in recent memory. Something I enjoyed were some of the stupider questions people asked. Like who is helping Allen prepare for games? or Did this game turn out the way you dreamed it would when you were a kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
