Popular Post section122 Posted November 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) So much doom and gloom for a 6-2 team. Enjoy it. It has been 25 freaking years. I watch a lot of other games. Too many. I then watch highlights of the games I miss during midnight feedings. So I wanted to put some things in one thread game by game to show you that you can actually enjoy the success. The Bills only beat the Jets 17-16. Can you believe that? If they were good like say the Cowboys they wouldn't have needed a 4th quarter come back to win. Oh wait the Jets beat the Cowboys. The Giants game was as complete a game as they played and dominated this one. If you complained about this one you are a terrible person and you should feel bad. The Bills needed a 4th quarter comeback at home to beat the sad sack Bengals. If they were good like Seahawks that would never happen! Oh wait Russel Wilson did just that and even landed on 21 points same as the Bills. They can't hang with the Patriots! Oh wait they held the Patriots to their lowest point total of the season? Wait they played the closest game save for the Ravens winning of any team in the NFL? The Bills offense is terrible if only they had a real qb like Matt Ryan they would have scored more than 14 points. Oh wait the Falcons only scored 10 points against the Titans? Can you believe the Bills only won by 10 against the Lolphins and were only up 3 late. If only they were good like the Eagles they wouldn't struggle with these sad sack teams. Oh wait the Eagles lost to the 1-7 Falcons? Speaking of the Eagles, can you believe they ran for so many yards and put up 31 points against this defense? If only they were as good as the Packers that would never happen. Oh wait the Packers gave up 34 points and 176 rushing yards? If they were a great defense like say the Patriots they would never give up over 200 yards rushing. Oh wait that just happened to the Patriots? Can you believe the Bills were only up 1 score in the 4th quarter agains the Redskins? No I don't care that they won by 2 tds that isn't good enough. If only they were as good as the 49ers they would have beat the doors off of them. Oh wait they only won by 9? How about if they were as hot as the Vikings? oh wait they only won by 10? point of this thread? A win is a win. Every team is talented in the NFL stacking ws is all that matters. Stop trying to poo poo everything and realize that each game is a struggle no matter who you are. The Patriots just lost by 17 to the same Ravens team that lost by 15 to the Browns who lost by 14 to the Patriots. There is no need for the Bills to apologize for the schedule. The Bills are 6-2. The freaking Buffalo Bills are 6-2. It is November 5th and not only are they still in contention, they are 1 loss outside of the division lead and tied for the 2nd best record in the conference. Watch some other teams and realize none of them are perfect either. Go Bills!!!

Jerome007 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Well some of the concerns are real. But where I agree with you is for the negative ones that allow criticize every coaching or Allen mistake, that seem to expect perfection. Stop just watching highlights! Other teams and players make all sorts of mistakes too! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 No one is apologizing for it. But they lost to the only two teams that are 0.500 or better. Until the beat a quality opponent none of us will know how good they truly are. Dallas, Baltimore, Patriots, and even the Steelers' games will be the real barometers....until the playoffs start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Great post. I feel the same. It's fun to win games, no matter "how" they do it. There are probably some younger posters here who started following after the team went downhill and are now not ready to accept winning yet. It needs to be a certain style, like a video game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBoots8 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 THANK YOU. I won’t come on the boards after a loss for a few days until all the doom & gloom posts get stale. I know we have areas we can improve, and we won’t win every single game, but all that matters is we win when we can, however we can, and enjoy the ride. No team is invincible - all we need to focus on is being the better team one Sunday at a time. We haven’t been this good (or lucky if you want to go that route) in a long time. Trust the dang process and let the team grow week to week. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT even with a victory there are too many bipolar attitudes flowing to make it enjoyable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Some fans are just wired different. I can't just "sit and enjoy." It isn't in my nature. I have to analyse - good or bad. I have to understand why. I watch most NFL games most weeks and I can't just sit and enjoy those either. Some people enjoy sport that way and that is fine. I can't I have to get under the skin of it. That is what I get my enjoyment from. Doesn't make me any less of a fan. I love that the Bills are 6-2. I hated the loss to the Eagles, really hated it. I hate the Eagles more than the Patriots. But I am not going to sit and passively make excuses for the Bills when they are bad. I am going to try and work our why and call it how I see it. 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Yeah, I watch every game and I'm only a little worried. A positive thought is that the Bills have strong character and you need strong character to maintain success in this league. It's the difference between teams falling apart (Jets, Browns) and teams staying in the fight (Steelers, Eagles). The Bills may win or lose to these teams on any given Sunday, but it's not going to take take them off course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 They're still finding their identity as a team, still figuring things out on offense especially since they had a lot of roster turnover and have a young QB at the helm. I'd rather they go through more "growing pains" and coming together while winning games than while losing them. And yeah, there are legitimate criticisms you can point out, but you also have to temper expectations. If Josh Allen doesn't go out there and throw for 350 and 4 TDs a week, some people are gonna think he's a bust. If Tremaine Edmunds doesn't rack up 27 tackles, 4 sacks and 2 INTs, he a bum! Some people just have their expectations dialed up to astronomical levels. And in tempering expectations comes the realization that you're gonna have to live with mistakes and bad plays because they're gonna happen. Happens to every single team. It is getting a bit old to watch them win on Sunday only to see all the articles on Monday being about, "Yeah they won, BUT, Player A did NOT do this, therefore this win is hollow."

wagon127 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 If the bills are 10-2 by the time I'm stuffing down pie, and making myself left over turkey sandwiches on November 28th, People will start respecting this team.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 you show me the slate of 16 (or so) games each week and you'd have to pay me at least $500 to bother watching a quarter of at least 13 of them. it's painful to feel so apathetic to almost all the games every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Sometimes I think a lot of folks on this board measure every game against the 1991 AFC Championship game. Like it's not a convincing win unless it's 51-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramza86 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The one thing i hate about watching other games....is seeing just how easily a lot of these teams can move the ball down the field. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is some more did you knows: The Bills old man rushing attack currently is the 11th ranked rushing attack. The Bills score more points per game than the Minshew mania led Jaguars and the OBJ/Landry/Mayfield/Chubb Browns. The Bills have more passing tds than super rookie sensation Kyler Murray's Cardinals. The Bills are 1 of 3 teams giving up less than 300 ypg on defense, less than 200 yards passing per game, and less than 17 ppg. The Patriots and Niners are the other 2 teams that accomplish that feat. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobot Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I think it comes from the fact that the majority of games that Bills fans watch are one of two teams. First and most obvious, Bills fans watch Bills games. Second most watched are the Patriots. The Patriots style of winning games typically results in dominating nearly all 60 minutes. So us Bills fan are likely comparing the Bills winning style to the biggest outlier in the history of the NFL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
