whatdrought Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Maybe I’m an optimist, but I always assumed we’d be 4-1 at the bye... we cant lose to the jets. the giants have been a joke for a while the bengals are a meh team obviously we more less expect to lose to the Pats the titans are an A talent team that plays at a b- to c level any given day... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I was expecting 2-3. Loss to Jets, Pats, and Titans. Figured the Jets would play hard in their home opener. I'm thinking we can beat the Titans, now. I'm more confident knowing that our defense is so good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I think even with Allen sitting we’re the better team, let’s say things don’t go well against the Titans. Would it really be that big of a let down? Before the start of the season, just based on the schedule alone, would you have been okay with a record of 3-2 at the bye? I wouldn't have been thrilled, but yeah, it looked like that would be acceptable. The first half of this schedule had always looked easy. It's the second half that looks like a serious grind.

Búfalo Blanco Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hell no. As some have said, beating the Titans may likely help Buffalo’s chances with a wildcard spot in December. The division crown would be fantastic, but a WC is more realistic. This should be a defensive grind on Sunday and Buffalo needs this win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSE Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Hell No. We need to win now, every freaking game. The days of next season are over. Make the adjustments and move on. 3-2 NO WAY..... Giphy Edited October 4, 2019 by HOUSE 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is a turnover machine, there is not really much denying that statement. However, to state that he is incapable of change is way too premature. Allen is a gamer and I am confident that he will get things under control. At about a full season's worth of games under his belt now, he is still learning about the "big games " and the energy and excitement that comes with them. Imo, he's still trying to figure out how to channel his excitement on the field. Not all QB's are created equal and some obviously take a little bit longer to figure it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedbuffaloblue Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 No, I would not be satisfied with 3-2. Not with this defense. Now I wouldn’t be throwing in the towel at 3-2 mind you, but 4-1 is where we should be at the bye and they damn well better get there with or without JA.? Go Bills!

Big Turk Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 We need to stop thinking like losers. This team should be 4-0 right now and they are a better team than Tennessee which means they need to be 4-1 at worst at the bye. No excuses. No moral victories. No "yeah buts" anymore. Just win.

PlayoffsPlease Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 We are at where we are at now. Historically teams with a 3-1 record have made the playoffs about 63% of the time. That is decent. Teams with 4-1 records have historically made the playoffs 75% of the time. Teams with 3-2 records historically have made the playoffs 50% of the time. Based on history, winning this game seems like it meaning fully increases the likelihood of making the playoffs. I am not too familiar with the Titans. I assume that the Patriots offense is better than the Titans. Hopefully that means the Bills defense shuts them down. In the first 3 games, the patriots opponents scored only 3 points against the Pats defense. Despite turnovers, Allen led the Bills to triple that with 10 points in 3 quarters. I suspect the Titans defense is not as good as the Patriots. Bills should score more this week, especially if Allen plays. I won't be happy with a loss. Bills 20 Titans 10.

BillsFanSD Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Before the season started, I had us at 3-2 at the bye, with losses to the Jets and Patriots. But I also had us finishing 9-7. So yeah, I guess I would have taken that, but it would have been mildly disappointing, and it would be mildly disappointing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 At the beginning of the season? Would have been quite happy. As of today? I'd be disappointed because we should have won last Sunday and I think our D should give Mariotta fits on Sunday. Even if we are 3-2 though, we should be optimistic going forward. The supposed tough schedule we have later in the year is looking like it won't be that formidable. The Dolphins are nothing, the finale against the Jets should have them running for the bus by then, the Steelers aren't the Steelers of old, Denver is trash as are the Skins.
