Homey D. Clown Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) I haven't started a thread in quite some time, mostly in part to the fine job everyone else has been doing posting content from things I would have posted, all the way down to posts I laugh at while spit-taking my coffee, so I've been quite content as an occasional observer. But this win yesterday had me all warm inside, nostalgic if you will, for the days when I could post my thoughts and enjoy the flaming that might occur, or the agreements I might get from spewing out my over-opinion on things. so, here goes, not in any real order.... 1. I was ecstatic they finally beat the pay-toilets at home, a win is a win. But! 2. Was I alone thinking that even though their roster appeared deplete of any real talent, any other decent quarterback, or, I dunno....say, a Tom Brady would have beaten the Bills yesterday? 3. The win was invigorating, but left me feeling worried the defense is so much worse than last year, and they are probably going to lose to this sad sack patriots team later this year? It's been a long time since the Bills have been in 1st place this far in the season, so don't get me wrong, I love not being all but eliminated from the playoffs like most of the last 2 decades, but this victory does leave me wanting more from a team that had both a dominant defense last year, and a really strong offense earlier this year figure out the secret sauce soon.

golfball323 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I think New Englad played a nice game. They looked like the Pats of the first two weeks and weren't floundering at all. Cam looked pretty good. We're not a world beater yet and won a tough divisional game. I'll take it every day of the week and twice on Sundays. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 It's professional football. Everyone is paid on both clubs. The Bills aren't Clemson and NE isn't Holy Cross. I'm thrilled we finally beat a team that we rarely beat in a meaningful game against a HOF coach. All division games are tough. Just be happy with the W, move on and hopefully get better. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBean Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 We got lucky and barely beat New England’s practice squad. This Bills team isn’t very good. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I feel great. Bills are 6-2, in the driver's seat for the Division, and just beat the Pats. Or rather, the Pats beat themselves in a way that we usually see done by the Bills. The roles have been reversed! A win is a win, and all good teams are lucky. No one ever went back and criticized the Pats "fluke" wins over the Bills when we botched it in the last minute while keeping it close all game. VICTORY MONDAY! LETS GOOOOOOOOOO! 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) I said it was the least satisfying victory in awhile for the me as a fan. Today I am beginning to see things a little different. It got McDermott and Allen their first victory against the Pats. That’s huge. I hear you guys on if Brady was the QB, but who knows how the Bills would of played the game. Maybe Josh and Daboll come out more aggressive and put up points. Brown looked good in his one opportunity to make a play. I am over my pessimism. I am glad this team is at the place where I am less than ecstatic by beating the Pats. It means this team is a lot better then it has been for 20 years. Edited November 2, 2020 by atlbillsfan1975 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this what Pats fans said when they had to rely on McKelvin fumbling twice in order to win? Or a last minute Fitx pic to win? Or a last minute JP fumble to win? No, it doesnt matter. Good teams are lucky. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritBill Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) The sixth lucky win of the season. Not bad. Just a shame about the two unlucky defeats. Edited November 2, 2020 by BritBill 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramza86 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 That was horrific to watch. A completely depleted patriot team takes us down to the wire could have easily won that. Watching our defense is killing me inside. Every offensive line we play against is better than our offensive line. Glad to have Feliciano back...but my god we need more talent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) For what ever reason the Bills have always had a hard time putting it all together and we once again thought this yr with the D they had in place if they played like they did last season would have a really good chance at making some ripples in the hierarchy of the NFL was a real possibility . But as usually one side of the ball is playing good the other can't get back to what they were the previous yr if the D could get it figured out this team would be a serious contender nut until that happens the Bills could be 1 & done again this yr which will be a huge disappointment !! I do agree if Brady would have been on the team yesterday it would have been a loss !! JMHO . Edited November 2, 2020 by T master 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) I just saw a bit on "First things first" this morning where all 3 guys on the show claimed we were a legit bad team at 6-2. They also all picked us to lose this game last week...... So i guess we suck and it was a meaningless win???? 1 minute ago, GunnerBill said: 1000% But i mean.... who cares. he's not there and wont be ever again. The bills are 6-2 while working through injuries and serious kinks. Lots of season left to work things out.....Maybe we'll see him in February. Then i guess i'll worry about him.

Offense has regressed and our coach is awful. Elite teams have off weeks like New England did when McKelvin fumbled. The difference? They had the coach and QB and went on to dominate the rest of the season. The realistic Bills fans saw who this team was when we faced Tennessee and KC. You’re also going to see who we really are the next 2 weeks when this team gets blown out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
