zow2 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Yep. We had beaten the titans like 2 or 3 games in a row. It's the due theory...and we were due to get our butts kicked by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 1) Extended rest by the Titans. 2) And no borderline Bills "home" field advantage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLEN1QB Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 So sick of the commentators praising the Titans. While Tennessee was resting for 16 days buffalo had to play a game and prepare for two other teams through no fault of their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I'll throw in some more. 1. No 10 penalties for 100 yards 2. Two turnovers that put the ball inside the 20 and then another turnover on a fumbled kickoff on special teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The Defense for the Titans was far better and well rested. The Bills Defense was missing key players The Titans defense didn’t confuse Josh like many are saying they just played better on coverage. Field position was also key. 20 to 40 yards and you expect good teams to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheektowaga Chad Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 This game meant a lot more to the titans who thought the last 2 games we have played they should have won. Couple that with our fans taking over their stadium last season add in some rest for the titans and a few weeks to prepare plus some key injuries to the bills defense and you get what happened last night The titans wanted this game a lot more than the bills did.

As well as we were missing our best LB and our two best CBs oh and we were not good hanging on to the ball. Take away the turnovers which were unforced and we were with them.

TheyCallMeAndy Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Titans also didn’t have 2 weeks to prepare last year. Bills also didn’t have to spend the week trying to prepare for 2 potential opponents in the same week. You’re fooling yourself if you think that wasn’t a factor. A huge factor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The Titans are a good football team. We can beat them but I'm not about to say anything bad about them after they went to the AFC title game last season and also have started out 4-0. They aren't a fluke. They're damned good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 The Bills played them tough last year and beat them. We don't need to take anything away from that victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Vrabel's game plan was very good. He knew the Bills run game was lacking and with Smoke being out played deep zone and forced Josh to sustain long drives without making mistakes. Buffalos TDs drives consisted of 15 plus plays each. Also they played field position flawlessly working with short fields the entire game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. First time in a while the Bills ..as a team.. came out flat. They looked ill-prepared and unmotivated. That was the aspect of the loss that sticks with me the most. It happens. Teams have bad weeks. Hopefully it doesn’t happen too many more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I don't agree with you, but point 2 should simply read - three turnovers that put the ball inside the 20. This was a major reason for our loss. You can't win a game in which competent opponents starts its drive within your own 20. EDIT: Plus there was also that punt return, so they started 4 drives inside our 30. That's insane.

boco357 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Offense had no pace. Even first drive was very methodical. I feel they needed to play faster. Also no Duke Williams he had game winning TD last year, would have liked him to get a call up instead of LB Smith from practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Titans are a very well coached team that was well rested. Both teams were missing important players, but the Bills were in a particular bad spot in that regard. The Titans make you stack up the box to play the run and play man on the edges. That’s tough to do with your top 2 corners out. Missing Milano didn’t help the run defense either. Hopefully we get another shot at the Titans in the post season with our secondary healthy.
