maryland-bills-fan Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Here is what I mean. The Bills were caught trying to figure out who to prepare for when the Titans were next on the schedule. the Bills didn't know if they would play the Titans or the Chiefs. and had 9 days before this game suddenly got scheduled AND were preparing two different game plans. The Titans KNEW they would be playing the Bills (or that they would have 3 weeks off) AND had 16 days to prepare for the game, get plans and get healthy. Next up was the superbowl KC chiefs. KC had 9 days to prepare and were pissed coming off of a close loss. Bills had 6 days to prepare, were banged up and were coming off of a loss. It doesn't cause those losses BUT it didn't do us any favors. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPoy88 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 So dwell on it now and make excuses. That’ll certainly prevent the league from doing it again in the future. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninSB Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 The writing was on the wall big and bright. We were going to lose those two games regardless when played given the injuries and defensive vulnerabilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDCC Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 No wonder we are viewed as cry babies. You play who you play and when. We didn’t lose either game because of the schedule. We were outplayed period. Geez. We are not a good football team. We are middle of the road at best. I see 8-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbillievable Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) the Patriots play Baltimore and Houston the Bills play Pittsburgh and Tennessee The rest of their schedules are the same.

TwistofFate Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 We have had disadvantages, but it's irrelevant at this point. We still have to make it happen. Every team deals with set backs via injury, covid, schedule changes, etc. The thought process now is....beat New England's ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I’m actually proud of the responses on here. We’ve definitely grown as a fan base. Maybe the younger kids are complaining but we’ve seen enough garbage to know the corner is turned. It’s not going to be a 16-0 season but it’s a product we haven’t consistently had in more than a decade. I’ll take it ten times out of ten.

I think NE has an easier schedule than we do for the rest of the season as they've played a tougher part already. The only two really tought games left for them is Baltimore and the Rams in LA I believe. We have Seattle, San Fran, Pitt, at Arizona To the OP, so you're only figuring this out now WRT the KC and Tenn games?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an argument to be made of this being the best Simpson's episode ever. Hell, you can probably pick from any of the early Side Show Bob episodes for that. If not the best it is definitely in the top ten. Bravo. You have made a friend today on the internet, 4-k. We can talk later about you loaning me money. Until then please have a great day.

It doesn't cause those losses BUT it didn't do us any favors. I expressed concern about the KC game when we were still thinking it might be on Thursday or Sunday. The Monday schedule still disadvantaged the Bills slightly, but it was one that could be overcome. The problems Buffalo had with the Titans were, I think, mainly in their own collective head. Psychologically, they just weren't ready for the game and Tennessee was chomping at the bit to make a statement. That's on the Bills. While the Titans had lots of time mentally to prepare for Buffalo (via Zoom) they had very little practice time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the team is not the issue, but rather some of the fan base... all the injuries do indeed present difficulties, but again it’s some of the fans, not so much the players, they know full well when you have ten starter level players and a bunch of backups injured it’s gonna suck, and there is nuthin much to be done about it until those injured players are healthy again. I know that the fans expect the players that fill in to be just as successful, but they are not the starters for a reason... Go Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Every team has a rough patch in the season where it feels like the wheels are falling off. Look at the 49ers. They are a solid team and they lost back to back to Philly and then crushed at home by Miami. Then you have to dig yourself out and dust off....I feel like the Bills did that vs. the Jets. Not a great win by any means...but a win. Now i think Buffalo will get it together and go on a nice run and have success against good teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Sure, it was tough playing the Titans and Chiefs, but at least the schedule-makers gave us back-to-back games against bottom-feeders like the Jets and Patriots to get right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
