BaaadThingsMan Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Take a win. Fish did alot of things for the first time all season showing their effort level was elevated and the Bills still smacked em in the end. Take it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjv001 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Josh needs to work on hitting the long ball. So far this season, he has no idea on hitting the long ball. Other than that he's doing fine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Would have been a different game if Dawson Knox would have make those plays. We would have grabbed momentum much sooner. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took the entire first half to shake the rust off. IMHO we learned what a critical piece of the D Milano seems to be.

4merper4mer Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I was underwhelmed by most of the effort although the defense did well in Q4 when the game was still in doubt. I thought we looked unprepared and overconfident with few exceptions: White Gore in his usual reliable way Allen:. He didn't make any really silly plays and we really couldn't have afforded one. I hope we learned some sort of lesson. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Ugly win, but it counts in the standings. Defense wasn’t that good today and they know it. They’ll bounce back. Daboll needs to rethink the pass heavy game plans, considering Allen and the OL struggle vs the blitz. Get the ground game going and run play action off of that. He’s inviting the blitz, but they aren’t hitting blitz beaters for many reasons. A few bad drops today too. The offense is going to dictate how the rest of this season turns out. They need work in many areas. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Allen struggling was not surprising (at least he didn't have any turnovers). The Defense getting shredded by the Dolphins was very surprising. Without a couple of timely turnovers the Dolphins could've put 30+ points on us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard for me to agree since aside from the Pats the Bills have only played the dregs of the NFL. 5 wins, none of them convincing, against teams with a combined record of 5-27. Before today I had the Bills as locks to win 9 games and almost locks to win 10. Now, I don't think there is any game left that is a high probability of a win. I'd say they are about 70% to make the playoffs given the easy schedule they have, but not too confident they will make it past the wild card game. The Eagles game is huge. If they can win that I will kick the confidence meter up a few notches. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I totally expected this type of game against a division rival with Fitz as their starting QB.

Rocky Landing Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Ford did a few things right today. But, mostly he was terrible-- especially in the first half. Morse is worth the money. Knox was a liability today. Bad penalties, and two horrible dropped passes that really cost us. Someone mentioned during the game thread that Hughes was invisible. That was sorta true in the first half, but it sure wasn't in the second! Bojo almost had me fooled during the Titans game that he may not be terrible. Not today. I still have faith in Allen. But, as many have said, I sure would like to see "Second Half" Allen play in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a blended team lots of young guys, some veterans and lots of prime aged players too. The key thing is to be young at critical positions.
