What concerns me is that the record of the opponents the Bills have beaten this year is something like 6-26 and of course the one lose was to the only team they've played with a winning record. The next several games should be wins on paper. The Eagles scare me as they're probably desperate already. These are the kind of games they would lose in the past. Offense needs to get better, but they are winning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Certainly one of the things that makes this team special is the ability to dig deep and turn things around when it's not looking so good. I wanted to see a blowout real bad, and still crave one, but the Dolphins came to play in that any-given-Sunday way and we came away with another W. I'm not fired up but I'm happy enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got two roughing the passer calls that in my opinion were border line. I understood the low hit on Fitz. The other one was a defender letting up and barely falling into Fitz. There was a similar play on Allen the series just before that one where the Miami defender also let up before hiting Allen but he actually put both of his hands on Allen's chest and pushed him down. Inconsistent as hell. 12 minutes ago, Formerly Allan in MD said: We're not where we should be, but we're trending. Tough games, no matter who they're against, builds character. We're not where many of us think we should be. But we're actually quite a bit better than where others thought we would be. We've got coaching staff that rely heavily on our defense and milk clock when we've got the lead. Later in the 4th quarter yesterday, for example. We have the lead and we run, run, run, punt. Get a first down or two and the game's over. But they know our D is at a better place right now and want to rely on them to win games. I understand it, but it's frustrating to watch.

Inconsistent as hell. I watched guys on our DL get tackled at least twice while they were on their way into the backfield, three blatant holding calls not called on big Mark Walton runs, and some bs being called on us numerous times when we had made a positive play for a first down, especially on their side of the field. It was probably the worst officiated game I've seen us be a part of in 2019. We got the W and that is all that matters. Make note of that crew though. I hope we don't see them again, especially as the games grow more and more important down the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a ball where it should have been - low and to outside bit Tre just made a great play and WR made no effort to defend it not a bad throw. Kool Aid - Bad Decision.

Offensively they have practically a project QB and like 11 new starters on offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Lethargic after the bye week. Played down to our opponent. Milano out and the defense seemed uninterested in this contest. JA was good, not great. I chalk up yesterday as the bye week blues. Time to amp it up against a much better opponent and qb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Fitzpatrick always plays the Bills tough, so I’m not so down on the Bills like a lot of people seem to be. Plus, the Bills had a few injuries on defense which impacted their play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 4 hours ago, clayboy54 said: To me, it is so weird that many people here are obsessed with the opposition’s record. We don’t make the schedule. We play the games that are assigned to us. We have won 5 of the 6 we were scheduled to play so far this year. What the hell difference does it make whether those teams have won all their games or none of them. No matter, we still have to play and try to win those games. Maybe it’s just BBFS and trying to find something to whine about. Because that’s what Bills fans do. the moral of the story is that we can only win the games we play. Exactly. As if the Dolphins said “We haven’t won yet, so let’s bring our B game.” No! We got them as a fired up team who was a 2pt conversion away from winning last week. They were hungry and they played like it. The narrative that we were supposed to handle an NFL squad like a JV team is laughable. Just like we’re going to get an Eagles squad that’s putting up newpaper articles in the locker room right now calling them a team on the outside looking in. They are going to be fired up and we should prep for a fired up Eagles squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 This team has shown this year that it is at it's best when their backs are up against the wall. That is a mighty fine inner trait to have. This team digs deep, now they just need a little polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 8 hours ago, Rocket94 said: King did not mention Tre White as one of the defensive players of the week, but he did "Call out" White by saying that his two plays may have saved the game. King is right when he says that the Bills are hard to figure out. They are developing an identity. White was the author of one of the worst efforts of the game. His attempt to ankle tackle the kicker on the fake field goal that lead to a first down. I mean......WTF it's the kicker........hit the MOFO up high and knock him on his shell. Tre White has his moments where he loses focus and concentration.............but then he bounced right back and TOTALLY REDEEMED himself with the INT. Great play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
