SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 https://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/33607/bills-fans-treated-to-more-allen-heroics-in-home-opening-victory ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- How's that for a home opener? Fans packed New Era field on Sunday as the Buffalo Bills held off a late Cincinnati rally, beating the Bengals 21-17 for their first 3-0 start to a season since 2011. After building a two-score lead in the first half, the Bills temporarily lost control of the game in the second half. But once again, late-game heroics from quarterback Josh Allen prevailed - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for next week, any given Sunday. Yes, a young team and a young QB. Fortunately the first half the schedule helps. Will be interesting to see how they are down the stretch.

RiotAct Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 pretty sure Schopp is autistic. NOT THAT THAT’s A BAD THING #AutismAwareness He just spazzed out on a caller for insinuating that the Bills arent close to the Bengals in terms of talent and coaching ?? Whoooooooooo that was entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Glad they found a way but the lulls are concerning. Love this team and how they dont quit. Josh Allen had some questionable body language during the 3rd quarter, glad his finish didnt reflect that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrider Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Good teams beat poor teams and the Bills are a good team. May not be a great team yet but in upper 3rd of the league. Josh had a good game overall. Did have a couple big mistakes but some big plays too, thats probably how he's going to play this year. Also 2-3 drops that were good throws. Just needs to keep getting better each week. The 2nd half play calling got to conservative at times and then the O line seemed to have more breakdowns too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 We are 3-0. THREE and OHHH. I'm happy. At times during the game I was very frustrated, thinking we could have piled up more points. But we won a game we should have won at home. We came from behind again. We overcame some injuries along the way. Not perfect but the it's the NFL and the Bengals have a pretty talented team. It is another happy Sunday night and Monday morning "football talk" at work.

Rocky Landing Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Let's hear it for Knox! Gets his first touchdown, finally! Also, he looked absolutely Gronk-esque on that one catch, and carry. If he keeps it up, opposing defenses will have to put double coverage on him, downfield. A single defender will have trouble getting this guy down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninSB Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I had a feeling this was going to be a tough game. The Bengals seem to always play well against us. The 2017 and 2018 team would have lost this game. This years team found a way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran with a purpose and was quick. For everything yeldon offers in the pass game, he’s very mediocre on the ground so far and fumbles have been an issue. We lack the shifty/speed guy with Motor out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I know a lot of people will look at how the Bills let the Bengals back in it and almost lost. But... let's focus on the reality of the current Bills team. They are winning. This was the classic Bills' game that for 2 decades they would lose. I fully expected them score a FG. Tie the game then give up the long game-winning FG as time expired. Then we'd all be talking about the moral victory. How they played hard. How they're still 2-1. How they're makin progress. But instead... we're talking about how the Bills pulled out a win. How they found a way to win when the game was lost. Bottom line when they're showing the "in the hunt" graphic in December. No one will put an asterisk on the Bills for this game. It's a win. They fought. They played their best when they needed it the most. They got the win. What a fun season so far! Go Bills!! 9 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haslett_Stomp Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Watched the game with my Pats* bride and actually thought they were going to lose the game. The play calling was absolutely inexcusable. The boys should have been up by at least 21 at the end of the first half and buried the Bengals early in the 3rd quarter. Having to hold on for a last minute victory is very concerning. 3 minutes ago, Dan said: I know a lot of people will look at how the Bills let the Bengals back in it and almost lost.

JohninMinn. Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Coaches better take a look at how the game ended. White's interception and team celebration was embarrassing. Somebody has to stay in control when emotions are out of. I doubt they knew he gave himself up rule. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we just stop getting cute and stop going into a shell. also what the heck is going on after halftime. Three weeks this team looks like trash after half. glad for the win but damn it should have never been close. I agree, but I also think this is something that takes experience to figure out. You’ve got to have leads to learn to play with them. Considering the overall trajectory of this team, I expect them to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm programmed to think that way because its what has happened in recent history but I wanna believe this team will overcome that type of result with their team first, every man wants to make a play mentality they have right now.

Rocky Landing Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I think it's worth noting how well the Bills have been playing in terms of penalties. I forget what the stat was, but there have been a lot more holding penalties, league wide, in the first few weeks of the season, as a result of a decided emphasis (supported by owners) on holding calls. And, for once, the Bills have not been shooting themselves in the feet with stupid penalties. This team looks disciplined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
