I’m excited to see at least 5 more wins and the playoffs, but what is really exciting is the 9 draft picks and a boatload of cash that will have the Bills taking the true “next step” in 2020. I'm not making the claim they're a SB team. They're not. But it's a HELL of a lot more fun watching football when your team is 6-2 at week 8. Just now, BillsVet said: My first job was as a FDO. Srs?

Exactly. Just because we love seeing the team win more than it loses doesn't mean we're not realistic.

njbuff Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I am one to overreact during games. I WILL FULLY ADMIT THAT. But, when cooler heads prevail after the game, I manage to post with some more sense. ? I said during the game that the Bills would DEFINITELY lose to Cleveland next week. Overreaction on my part. I am watching the Browns-Broncos game exclusively because the Bills have both teams coming up. I have backed off my "The Bills are definitely going to lose to the Browns" prediction. ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. This team probably isn't going to make any noise in the playoffs. But they were awful last year and on track for a playoff berth this year. That's a huge step forward.

And as I seem to say a lot lately, a lot of fans like to predict failure -- by team, by players, by coach, by anybody -- because failure is the easiest thing to predict in the NFL. So it's in their best interest to point out things that point to them being right. Not to mention, did anyone watch the Jets today? Now THAT is a schittshow. The Bills are a team that are winning games they should be winning and have a shot to play in the postseason. If your first thought after a game like this is all the things the team needs to correct, you're just a miserable fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it would be a turnover that would have led to a change of possession which would lead to them not covering the spread! WAKE UP SHEEPLE! Does this make any sense?

GunnerBill Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 24 minutes ago, Green Lightning said: Exactly. Star and Tremaine and our middle D is exposed and soft on run. After telling us all week long that they're going to solve a couple of things and fix that issue, the first half was an eye-opener. They needed a steady diet of run blitzes to stop the run which is not sustainable in my book. It is a fair concern to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why it took so long for him to open it up I would really like to know is it Daboll shutting down the offense or is it McDermott's conservative philosophy that has the offense going into a shell when we are up by 10 or more. I don't get it and I really don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I don't blame anyone for being timid to embrace the happy times. The BBFS is real and earned. I do believe we will make the playoffs, but don't know how we will far once we get there. I think it's more frustration than pessimism though. We know what these players are capable on both sides of the ball. So seeing them either coached or play down to such a low level, brings out the angry thoughts.
