Wayne Arnold Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 4 minutes ago, Boatdrinks said: How does it work then ? The Niners appear to be for real after a few drafts and FA acquisitions , and they don’t have a QB on a rookie deal either. I don’t think there’s just one way to get it done. Why are the Niners for real this season in Shanahan’s third season while the Bills remain pretenders? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Oliver was the only good run defender on the team today and the All-22 will back me up on that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the other team is better (which too many have been over the years) you can blame the front office for that. On a serious note, I like this team and the current regime. I just think we have a way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills tore down the offense after year one. It’s year 3 yes, but the niners are a year ahead. Bills need another good draft and FA period. They took a different approach, and there’s more than one way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 10 minutes ago, Boatdrinks said: This is a pretty realistic assessment. While they made some big changes on the O, it was because they had little worth keeping. They’re still a stud WR and a tackle away ( at least ) on offense, and the D needs an elite pass rusher. That doesn’t mean they can’t still improve this year and even make the playoffs. I doubt anyone thought this roster was championship caliber right now. Yup I had us at 10-6 with the wildcard this year and I’ve hit every single game in the prediction to be at 5-2 right now. The people who are upset right now are just mad they got ahead of themselves.

Also, I'm not sure that the 49ers are built to win a championship with Jimmy G at QB. It looks great now but you generally need excellent QB play to win in the playoffs with very, very few exceptions. We'll see if they have it.

CincyBillsFan Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 3 hours ago, BuffaloRebound said: Yes the D sucked, but it was all after that huge turnover. You have to go into the locker room up at least 7-3. Nonsense. This isn't high school football. You don't fold the tent up and go home just because you lose a 7 - 3 lead at half and go down 11 - 7. These guys are PROFESSIONALS. There should have been NO ill effects after the fumble and Eagle TD drive. And for the record if this was truly an elite defense, say like NE's, why do we assume they give up a TD AND 2 pt conversion here. How about we go into the locker room up 7 - 6 at half? Don't make more of the fumble then it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They improved an offense that was in the bottom two in the NFL last year and lifted it to (at best) the middle of the pack. But this is still NOT an offense that can explode for a lot of points. And for the record, it's not like the D & Special teams have helped an admittedly mediocre O with great field position. Through 7 games the D & ST's have given the ball to the O in the opponents red zone only once. In fact, they have given the ball to the O on the opponents side of the field ONLY twice. Our O has had to go on to many long drives to score points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't make more of the fumble then it was. I get it but the call to run the QB in that situation was emblematic of the questionable play call Daboll has been giving us all year. I don't know whats going through his head but it seems he is convinced (by the analytics no doubt) we have to pass to win and only uses the run game to set up the pass game later, or to do something nonsensically cute like call a designed QB run when Frank Gore has been tearing them apart up the middle. I get the idea using JA's legs now and then but it just seemed like an odd spot to call a designed run like that. I just think he constantly outthinks his own self by doing whatever a logical person would not do. Its got to get to JA and the guys on both sides of the ball after a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently some posters here would say yes to that... The solution to this problem would be for the Bills to be constructed to be the better team on a consistent basis against legit competition. Go beat the teams they should beat and win a couple against good teams and those posters will be silent. There is alot of season left and there are many different directions it could turn. Some are good; some not good. Things are definitely starting to come into focus and it's not all rainbows and butterflies. I'm patient. I'm OK with the season thus far. But all the key players from the GM to the HC to the QB need to do a lot more to earn long term trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
