He is complaining about not having a running game. We did not need a running game yesterday. “Offensive line can’t get in a rhythm if you run shotgun double playaction. You have to give a basketball player more than 1 shot. That was an ugly 400 yards of offense.” WHAT!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen didn't have great production in college....that's the reason he wanted Rosen. That's the reason I wanted Rosen too. If you dont think he cares about politics you dont listen to the show. He cares very much about politics and social issues. He also went on huge twitter rants about Rosen's politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was the first time I did it and was really looking forward to it. I have to say, it was terrible. For 40 straight minutes, the only thing they talked about was Allen's fumbles and Daboll calling so many QB runs. Not the 300+ yards, not a dominating defense, not being 1-0, not any of the other many positives. The worst part was, the fans were mostly responsible. Every called, minus one who talked about preseason games not being missed, wanted to talk about the fumbles and how much they COULD have affected the game. Are we so beaten and broken that we can't appreciate all of the positive steps forward this team has taken and the position we are in this season? If I didn't know any better, you'd think we won or lost in a squeaker. I hope today was a microcosm of that show, but c'mon... I hear you Virgil, it drives me nuts, too. But I have to tell you that if you listened to radio back in the Super Bowl years the calls were the same. "If Kelly throws a pick like he did today against the Dolphins we're screwed." "If Andre drops a sure first down next week against the Cowboys, we won't pull out a win like we did today." "Sure Bruce had 3 sacks today, but let me see him do that to the 49ers, then I'll give him some credit." Some fans just can't enjoy a win. Their cleats are always half empty. A smart radio station would have a positive calls only policy the day after wins. Emphasis on a SMART radio station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 yeah I’m not surprised. After last season’s home opener where we went to 3-0 it sounded like a funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is relevant and important to talk about the negative aspects of each game. The way some people do it, like projecting doom and gloom for future games if xyz doesn't get fixed now, is ridiculous, but talking through the negatives doesn't have to be that way. For instance, it is important to talk about Josh Allen's fumbling issue. But if you are going to talk about his fumbling you should also mention how elite of a runner he is what a great game passing he had yesterday. But yeah, he needs to fix it. He is usually good at adjusting to the most pressing issue of his game, so I expect he will be much more aware in future games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just said I don't think it's not going to be a reason for him to want or not want a player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh's fumbles and Daboll's fascination with designed QB runs in the teeth of a defense are concerning. I'm really pleased were 1-0, but so is half the league at this point. If those sloppy miscues cost us the game the tone around here would be so different. We saw the good Josh and bad Josh yesterday. I'd say 85% good 15% bad. What makes the bad dangerous is the momentum swing it creates. Fortunately for us the Jets are not good enough to capitalize in that scenario, but other teams on our schedule are. Dabolls gameplanning was flawless. The Jets D made the team one dimensional and they still couldn't stop us! The Bills only punted ONCE! And not until the 3rd when the game was pretty much decided. I'm thrilled with where Josh is right now in his development. Many fan bases and pundits forget it's only his 2nd full season as a starter. He fixed his INTs last year and hopefully he fixes the fumbles this year. Be pleased with the win, the 300 yard performance and the great D Virg, but aspire for better cause that's what will bring a SB. You want some comedy radio? Listen to Jets Sports radio today. My sides are splitting right now! 😄😄😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Is this a playoff team? It is called higher expectations. I hope the players are the same way, thinking about all the plays they left on the field and not simply happy beating a inferior team. The goal is to beat the Ravens, Chiefs and other contenders. The offense is not going to do that playing the way they did. Those teams will defend you better and not allow you beat you Superhero style. We saw that vs Houston in the playoffs and most of our losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoshin Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 1 hour ago, Buffalo_Gal said: Read through this forum. There are posters that sound the same. So what if the team won, the Jets were never really in it, Allen had a 300+ yard game with a 70%+ completion rate, 2 passing TDs and a running TD? Dontchya know he had two fumbles and missed some passes? I swear people simply like being miserable and complaining. Enjoy the good games people. It wasn't that long ago Bills fans had a reason to complain. Yesterday was not that day. Seriously. Bills fans are actually complaining that a win wasn't dominant enough? WTF?!?

Carry on! I needed this. Having a tough time getting into work, and cant keep my head out of football coverage today. I feel better knowing it's a holiday.

flomoe Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 The morning guys are a bunch of whiners about everything. They have become totally unlistenable and it’s time for Simon to retire so he can live the rest of his life in his basement worrying about the corona virus. The afternoon guys are pretty much the same way, except Schopp doesn’t whine but the other guy needs to just go away with his incessant whining and crying about everything. The other shows that they have are probably their best ones because you get actual sports with some entertainment mixed in. It’s time for GR to start purging some of their morning and afternoon staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 2 hours ago, Just Joshin' said: WGR in general has a lack of deep, critical thinking. They should write bad bumper stickers. Honestly, while I think there are a ton of reasons to complain about GR, I really don't think they can be accused of having a lack of critical thinkers. Normally, it is critical thinking that makes people hate them so much (Schoop and Jeremy especially). Personally, i get the criticisms they get, and while I may even agree with some of it...I still don't hate them to the degree that some do.

Yup, if you only read the game day thread for info you would have thought the Bills we’re struggling mightily the whole game, there are sime drama queens posting on the game day thread, they just live for any play that didn’t go as scripted, quaylewds and gin would be a good idea for many of those folk...😁 👍🍺 Go Bills!!!

And they can’t let that go. thank god we have Allen over Darnold, mayfield, or Rosen... One of the worst things about the internet and sports. People have their opinions documented and instead of admitting they’re wrong, they would rather stay wrong. Go wrong, stay wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
