CincyBillsFan Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Just now, dubs said: If we are being honest, the offense wasn’t very good. There were some horrible drops, Allen was mediocre. but....BUT...it doesn’t matter. They are 10-4, punched it in when they had to tonight, and are going to the playoffs, with 2 games left to play. I’m loving it!! See I don't see it that way. I don't care about style points. When you're in the playoff hunt in December every game against other teams in the playoff hunt are dog fights. Did the offense play well from start to finish? No. But that was because they were on the road playing one of the best defenses in the NFL. But when they needed to play well they did. That last TD drive was huge. And Allen also came through when the game was on the line. Last season this was one of if not the worst offenses in the NFL. After a complete remake and the injection of 3 rookies into the starting lineup the offense is now middle of the pack. That's real improvement. There are some things they do real well and there are other things that need work. But the direction is up and that's all we can ask for. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown and Beasley are cast offs, yet are having the best years of their careers. Singletary is having a solid rookie campaign, and our O-line is still missing some key pieces in my opinion. Like many have said here earlier, we are ahead of schedule, 10-4, and clinched a playoff birth with two games still remaining. This year has been a success undoubtedly. This is the best our offense will probably be this season. With our defense, we are still a formidable playoff team. This offseason we focus on the offense.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 1 hour ago, Rbleyle said: This team has zero chance of beating the Pats or their playoff opponent if they have the showing they displayed tonight. Absolute dumb play calls, dumb player decision making, and situational awareness. We are beyond lucky to beat a 3rd string QB that had 4 picks. I think you've kind of got it backwards. We picked the 3rd string QB 4 times, That's why we beat them. The picks were plays that had worked for him before. We saw them on film. The players made great decisions and had great situational awareness to make those picks. Joe B was busy before the game predicting a loss and claiming that the Steelers have the best defense in the league, a "Superbowl caliber defense" I dunno about that, but they are very very good. We beat a playoff-caliber defense, amped up on their home field 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel that we look dangerous one moment and incompetent and underprepared the next. I think that goes with being young and having some players who have to give it their best to succeed.

TigerJ Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I could not believe the penalty called on Tremaine Edmunds for a facemask. What on earth was the referee thinking? Tremaine's hands were nowhere near the Pittsburgh player's facemask. I hope the league gets a good look at that and calls the official on the carpet for it. Fortunately, the Pittsburgh fumble meant the blown call did not become a factor in the game, but it certainly could have. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And their's no reason to think they won't be better next year. But this is year two of a complete overhaul of the offense. Year two for a young QB that was a big project coming out of the draft.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 1 hour ago, RiotAct said: he got one. Their picks were Allen, Brown and White. That's great. Brown grabbing the fumble and defensing a possible INT were the heads-up plays of the game, plus his pass receptions Allen I have mixed feelings about. But he did make some clutch runs and hang on to the ball in the face of abuse by Watt. He took some hits - some of them totally unnecessary on a play that should have been blown dead and roughing called if they persisted. And, he did make some "big boy" throws. Phillips deserves one I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
