He didn’t look right even making some great throws after coming back in. Gameday thread, some of you are sickening. I hope it was day drinking before the 4:30 start. But I’m gonna have to bust out the block button you guys are sick in the head. 4-0, lead the whole game, and you cried like we’re the dang Jets. Control your emotions kids I know you’re not used to being in the elite category Spot on. I didn't whole thread (this one), but level of overreaction in GTD is insane. People are acting like kids. After each bad play somebody sucks. Edmunds sucks, Poyer sucks, defense sucks, fire Frazier, I HATE this defense (wtf?), pass rush sucks, White sucks. I think everybody sees that defense is somehow worse than last year but we are also playing better offenses this year. Raiders O came to play. Carr is playing like top7 QB this year and was great yesterday. Yes sometimes tackling is poor, sometimes gaps are missed, sometimes coverage is bad but I don't know why people feel need to express their hate when it is clear that opponent came to play too and we are still winning. I for one love that even if our defense is not great right now we are winning games. And I really think defense will get better. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it only gets tougher as the season continues....We will be seeing Last years comeback player of the year Tannehill The super bowl MVP Mahomes Current MVP board leader Russel Wilson Last years Rookie of the Year Kyler Murray Garapalo Ben Rothelisberger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineforty Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 6 hours ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: no— but it is a risk. It’s a much higher risk because we are contending this year. If this were a rebuilding type year, I would say— absolutely, go for it. But if I were the GM of this team, I would be looking for a veteran I can trust. Maybe not a guy who can make 55-yard bombs. But someone who is reliable under pressure from under 50 and has experience making pressure kicks. you have to admit that Bass is not inspiring confidence thus far. I don’t know if McDermott would feel comfortable sending him out now for a long FG attempt, let alone a GW FG attempt. At this moment I believe you are making it a bigger deal than it is.

Greg S Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Great win yesterday but I couldn't understand why the Bills would hand it off after they recovered the onside kick. Take a knee 4 times and go home. The famous Giants - Eagles game from 1978 when the Giants ***ed up the end and Herm Edwards scooping the ball up and running it back for a winning TD came to mind. Allen stumbled as well on that handoff which made me really nervous on that play. Anyway great to be 4-0. I know the Bills started 5-0 in 1980 so it would be nice to do it again 40 years later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was a risk to draft and go with a rookie kicker this year. Teams like the pats realize that. They drafted a kid, saw he was a little shaky in camp, and immediately went out and got a vet and stashed their rookie on the PS.

Case in point, I Still hate Herb Mul-key!🤬 Yes, a 13 pt 2nd half after a 17 pt 1st Half is huge cause for concern -for a bed wetter, anyway.. Agreed and it’s definitely unsettling. If we’re going to allow receivers to run wild in our Secondary, we might as well blitz more and try to stop the pass. Reported. I thought so too. Difficult from tv, but he stretched the ball upfield as he was going OOB. Tried to show it -hard.😂 Refs hosed us again as Brown’s catch was clearly in the endzone 🤬 Not understanding all the hate for Bass. Haven’t since it began. What’s dramatically different so far this season is the Offense putting up 30 pts/game. No, he’s hasn’t been perfect, but I think he’s going to fine and reliable when it counts most. He has ‘Want To!’ like many of his teammates. Raidahs score on the KR if he doesn’t make the play. Yes, 6 points from drives and 7 points off turnover isn’t their norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 15 hours ago, JGMcD2 said: I’m generally pretty positive in regards to the Bills (and any team I work with or am a fan of) when they’re struggling because I believe things come and go from time to time and need to be adjusted. That’s what coaching is for... I think we have a fine coaching staff that is capable of doing that and has shown it. But, my point is I’ve been VERY upset with the Bills defense all season until late this game. They looked unenthusiastic... very much lacked a spark. The 4th quarter gave me hope... they were flying around a little bit more, gang tackling a little bit more, and manages to force some turnovers. They made a big mistake in doing so... because now I KNOW they are capable of doing it... so I expect that to be the norm moving forward. I don't see how one can call it a "big mistake" for a defense to finally DO THEIR JOB and win us the game, which they did. Strange use of "mistake". But what I take as your point stands: coaches have now seen that level-up of performance from this group of guys, so we KNOW the hosses we got can actually pull that wagon. No fair pawing the ground but not budging it for 3Q next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco_92 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I don't really like how the Bills choose to end games, like many others who have noted all of the onside kicks we deal with in games we have 2 score 4th quarter leads. I wish the bend was a little less bendy, etc. At the same time, have the Bills, in McD's tenure, lost a game because of this? I don't think they have, though I might be forgetful. It seems to work.

Shaking off a second-quarter stinger, Allen threw two touchdowns and rushed for another to lead the Buffalo Bills to a 30-23 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. it was Allen’s brilliance in the first half, when he finished 15 of 20 with two touchdowns, that set the tone. His 26-yard strike to Gabriel Davis on the opening drive was his 13th TD of the season, surpassing Ryan Fitzpatrick (12) for the most total touchdowns by a Bills player in the first four games of the schedule. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the Pats rookie, our rookie went out and took the job by whoopin on Haus money, who wasn’t as money as he once was. they liked the kid enough to use a pick on him + he earned the job. His leash should be long enough where we shouldn’t be talking about replacing him just yet imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
