Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Asked this in the gameday thread, but I'll ask it again here for those who are completely outraged by the outcome this month... Q: How many of you predicted 0-4 to start the season? Corollary Q: If you predicted 0-4, why are you outraged at 1-3? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zevo Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Because people love to B word...hopping on and off the wagon...I hate using this...so forgive me...but Allen is going to be a process...ups and downs...I am not outraged at the record...it’s a developmental season Edited September 30, 2018 by zevo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan_34 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I predicted 0-16 tbh! We will come in at 3-13 best case scenario. Personally, lets lose the rest and have the number 1 overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan130 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I predicted 1 and 3, so on par. Just did not expect them to get blown out in all 3 losses. That’s the disappointment part for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSOL Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 So expecting it, and seeing it play out in real life are two different things. So yeah, I expected this, but seeing us look so horrendous and overmatched and amatuer really, yknow, stings. High hopes for Allen, but then seeing him get sacked like 14 times, seeing the oline go home at halftime, seeing him looking so defeated in the middle of the game, isn't helping his "development" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you predicted 0-4 and had the team looking at least halfway competitive in those 4 but are now 1-3, looking beyond inept in those 3, would you not expect there to be a different reaction?

VW82 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) I don't think it's so much about the record but the manner in which the games have played out. We've been blown out and looked terrible in the three of the four games. The Vikings game looks like an aberration at this point. Also, this season was always going to be largely about the development of our young players. Today Allen proved his doubters have legitimate reason to be concerned. His ceiling might still be high but his floor is really, really low. It's troubling. Edited September 30, 2018 by VW82 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol Dirty B Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I'm not sure how predicting 0-4 negates your right to criticize the team. If you can explain that I'd love to hear it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I WANTED us to not be 1-3. Little disappointed, but I've learned to accept it. I WANT us not to be 1-3 next year. does that make me an irrationally outraged fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektowaga Chad Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Against the titans is where my true judgement will come. Besides the first 6 quarters of the season it has gone similarly to last year. Even this game was like last year if our offense capitalized on the turnover opportunities the defense gave them.

It just doesn't make sense sometimes. I completely disagree with that sentiment. 0-4 can be ok with some tough losses and bad breaks. This team has looked like trash in 3 out of 4 games. I'll say the defense looks better, but offensively they're atrocious. They didn't address the line or wr's and everyone saw this coming. I'm not even sure what is the point of drafting a qb if everyone else around him besides shady is totally inept. They gutted this team of talent for Allen and threw him to the wolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 No one should be outraged. 2-2 in our first 4 games to start the season would have been impressive given our schedule. 1-3 is just fine as we move into the easier portion of the season.

I dont think people should have high hopes for winning a lot of games this year. The Bills have some talent but they have too many glaring holes.

He will continue to make mistakes but learn. Today his internal clock was gone. Just stay away from the brutal injury. So far the kid can take a hit....
