C.Biscuit97 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 21 hours ago, Nextmanup said: Good point, but it assumes an organization can "wreck" a player. I think where a player is drafted can absolutely have an impact on his career, but I don't think it wrecks his ability to play. It's more likely that Darnold just isn't going to be as good as some thought; he regressed his last year at USC and his stock value dropped in some people's eyes. The Jets are surely going hard for #1 and Trevor Lawrence, assuming he comes out. If he has the talent, even the Jets can't ruin him. Darnold is going to end up somewhere else. Completely disagree. He has the worse receiver core in the league. They start a 45 year old rb. Their only good o linemen is a rookie who has played in like 2 games. Darnold was playing really well at the end of last year. No qb would succeed in that joke of an organization. Same with Rosen. Now, they may have been overrated as prospects but those franchises did everything in their power to make them fail. The Bills struggle with their plan for Allen’s rookie year but since, he has been in one of the better situations in the league. It makes a huge difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Win Baby I'd like for the offense to find it's groove again. Put it in the end zone at least four times. At this point I'm expecting the worst from the defense at this point until they can show me otherwise. But the offense has to get back on track. Especially with games against New England and Seattle. Would like to get at least a split in those two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine an actual fan of the Buffalo Bills chortling that they'll laugh when an opposing QB torches our D and to say that then "Honestly, I want the Bills to win but the opponent needs a few too" - what baloney. Yes, very concerned. What horsecrap. No one risked his life. I'm sure he plotted his course out ahead of time with GPS coordinates and had radar traffic services (flight following) from Buffalo Approach. He did a great job - but not "risked their life" SMH That was written by someone who is totally ignorant of anything aviation-related, saw an acute angle in the flight path, and assumed it was some kind of "daredevil maneuver."

To me personally it’s not just we lost those two last games , but it’s the overall performance ESPECIALLY the Chiefs game , and I was still confident that we could beat the Chiefs , as of now I have no confidence at all going in to the jets game Edited October 24, 2020 by Putin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean this is a Bills propaganda board or a place where we give opinions about the Bills? I think they're going to lose. The only thing going right for them is Josh Allen.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I'll say this. Darnold is going to attack the same way KC and Tenn (and MIA) did. So since we know where he's going, are we going to stop it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I definitely feel that the last two games have rocked this fan base to the core, as many thought we were better than we showed... I'm most definitely feeling rocked right now. I just listened to the "Chris Simms Unbuttoned" evaluation of the KC-Buff game and it's whoaoao!. That's some Prime Locker Room juice for our D, lemme tell ya, but it better hit the coaches where they live and make them consider. Over here if you want to give a listen. Still SMH. Simms fires with both barrels Anyway, I'd love to see a convincing win but with all the injuries, I'll take a win any way we can get it. But if Simms is correct in his scathing indictment of our defense, that may be tough to achieve even against the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Win Baby Going 5-2 is still 5-2! Having only lost to the two teams in the last AFC Championship game takes a little sting out of it. I’d rather look forward to Sunday than back at the last two weeks. No point in making yourself crazy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk71 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) KC TEN #2 #3 offensive efficiency, the Jets are 31st so maybe the defense looks a little better even though they are still missing parts and banged up. This could be a good week for the offense to get back on track as well. I'm even sticking with the Bills in my DK survivor pool. 😬 😎 Edited October 25, 2020 by Turk71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks...just watched it...and I gotta say, after watching it, I don’t know that anything can be done this season- which sux because we still have a long way to go against more tough opponents...sounds like we almost need an overhaul of the D...fingers crossed that the good Lord can send us down a miracle...

When you don't have the talent & can't make adjustments, it's likely every team is just going to keep on attacking the same way. Doesn't mean we'll lose, but our defense went from being a source of pride to something I'm genuinely afraid to watch every time they step on the field.

I.E., he's not ruined. When he goes elsewhere he'll have a resurgence. The circumstances Lawerence will find himself in, in NY, will be totally different (new coach I assume) and we'll take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
