DuckyBoys Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Today's game was a tough one to watch. Like a lot of Bills games it felt like they were just on the verge of losing for pretty much the whole game. While I applaud the defenses effort in securing the win it was not the most entertaining game. Truly a ugly win. I wonder if Tyrod was qb if I'd feel the same or if the impatience to see Josn having the passing game going is taking away from the win. I cant remember a walkoff win where I wasnt pumped up if not at least satisfied. Kudos for them engineering a win 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Happy with the win. Jury is still out on this regime. And yes I have questions about their ability to field a Modern NFL offense. Edited October 8, 2018 by MAJBobby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 OP is absolutely right. This is a grounded, realistic take. I, too, am happy to escape with the win. But this game was just that. An exposure of the true team. If you are happy squeaking games by and going 7-9, kudos. This team is for you. Until we wake up and realize this is an offensive league, we will not truly compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Unless you are a great team there is no such thing, and even then anyone would be hard pressed to actually believe that. That doesnt mean it is out of bounds to be critical after a win. There really is no correct answer. It's like a terrible pass that should never have been thrown and easily should have been intercepted but it bounced right and was a touchdown. It's still a TD. Sure you can rightfully criticize it but it counts. So there are two legitimate schools of thought. When you are the stage the Bills are in, however, there is no such thing as an unsatisfying win. Except for your very best bittchers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunTheBall Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Oh, so now when we win we can't be happy because it wasn't stylistically pleasing. Give me a f'n break.

Adam727 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 For the first 50+ minutes I was rooting for the Bills (partially because I can't help it, and partially because I want to see players like Allen, Edmunds, White etc play well) but at the end of the game I found myself rooting for the Titans to win. We aren't going to the playoffs this year, I'd rather the Bills lose 12-10 than win 13-12 and secure a higher draft pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transient Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Please use the search function. There are numerous existing threads bitching about today’s win.

Both lines played well today and we had a decent run game. Take what they give you and the Bills did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Every win is satisfying. That's not to say there can't be criticism when they go look at the tape. That happens with every game. But you always take an ugly win. Sometimes the difference between a bad and a good team, is who gets the ugly wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iverwig Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Oh my! Beggars can’t be choosy. I am satisfied with the win no matter how ugly it is. Let’s not forget 2games into the season most Bills fans didn’t think this team would win any games. I’ll take them where we can get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol Dirty B Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) 10 minutes ago, joesixpack said: Incoming ol dirty b to chastise us all for not criticizing the team enough in a win Lol Did you see how they pressed and primped Josh Allen's jersey today? A good QB needs 24 inches circumference to get a proper throwing motion. Schopp told me his analytics guy said he only had 19. This is basic organizational stuff. If McDermott and Beane can't find proper equipment staff, how can we trust this regime to make draft picks?
