Bills 13, Eagles 31 postgame thread


Recommended Posts

Every game has been ugly and sloppy. We were exposed today. Officially overrated.

Look on the bright side folks......we could be the Browns (pre-season superbowl contenders) according to some experts. 

The low-esteemed would’ve loved that!!!

As far as the run defense is concerned, I think we should start Star and Phillips and bring in Oliver on obvious passing downs. Right now Oliver is a passing down "specialist" who gets swallowed up in the run game. Use him to create penetration on obvious passing downs. Phillips brings more size, strength and bulk on early downs. Peko is worse that JAG. Losing Harrison really hurts.

Offensively, I hate excuses but, we're still young and figuring things out. We should be able to pound the ball more to avoid turnovers. Aside from Josh's 7 ints. he has fumbled quite a bit. Need to limit his chances of turnovers. Allen does need to start hitting his deep ball opportunities when they present themselves. He's getting 2-3 good opportunities per game and just not hitting on them. My main concern is the following stat: IMO, we've played two good teams and Josh's completion percentage in those games are 46.4%(Pats) and 47.1% today. If we're going to beat good teams, Josh has to do better in those games. We have the Skins, Browns, Dolphins and Broncos upcoming. I am not taking these games for granted, but hopefully we can get the run game (offense and defense) fixed before the 4 games that follow. Just my take.

Progress is so rarely linear. We will never see a schedule this easy ever again. If McDermott and Allen were legit and capable of taking this franchise to the promised land some day then they’d win 13 games this season. This team isn’t any better than they were a year ago. McDermott is a dope and Allen stinks.

 

 

Hahahaha...they are gonna lose some games, you know. This was one of them. Big ***** deal.

I want a Super Bowl champion. Not a team that squeaks into the playoffs thanks to an easy schedule and is eliminated before the prime time game on Saturday of Wild Card weekend. 

 

Is this a Super Bowl contender? No? Ok then spare us the “they will be fine” bullspit.

They were never going to be a SB contender this year so spare us the self pity. This squad was ahead of schedule @5-1

Tough fully deserved loss

 

regroup and learn and come out witht your best next Sunday 

 

 

Yeah, they stunk today.  You get killed up front you get beat.  They need to figure out how to solidify the interior D line and have the O line step up.

What schedule are you talking about? It’s year three of McDermott, second year under Allen. The time to strike is when the QB is on his rookie contract. And yet this team looks exactly like they did a year ago. The only difference has been crappy opponents. There is no progress.

Have to disagree. The 5 wins are against teams that are a combined 7-30 at this point, and none of the wins were dominating. In fact, I'd argue the Bills' best game was the loss to the Patriots. Fortunately, their next four games are against bad to awful teams, but the last 5 will pose some problems. In any event, if the Bills are ahead of schedule, being a SB contender must be scheduled quite a ways in the future.

5-2.  Take a breath.
