Bills Survivor Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 It seems to me he's a fraud of an analyst making ludicrous claims like that after one week.

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Week 1 kneejerk reactions won't age well. Pittsburg is a playoff team. We played poorly and lost by a flukey special teams TD. If Pittsburgh can adjust to having a sub-par offensive line by getting rid of the ball quicker than so can we.

I recall NE also having numerous shaky starts to various seasons as September was used as an extended preseason and everyone would be saying the sky is falling, Brady is washed up, NE looks like trash bla bla bla and then boom, they're hoisting the Lombardi in Feb...again.

(sorry if you knew that and calling him Bart was the joke. Hard to tell sometimes haha) He was pretty late to get on board with the Bills last year... but pretty much everyone on ESPN not named Dan Orlovsky was.

JaCrispy Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) I’ve been saying for a while now that we simply don’t have enough elite talent on the team like in the Super Bowl years...those teams were better imo... But I don’t think we are frauds...I just don’t think we are ready for the super bowl... This year was supposed to have been a year we added a significant talent or two in FA, but we couldn’t because of the lowered cap...that really hurt our chances, unfortunately...

Solomon Grundy Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I tend to agree with Bart Scott. Until the Bills correct the problem with their offensive line, they aren’t going very far. The way the line played the other day, Josh can’t be Josh. Without the superlative play of Josh Allen, the Bills won’t go far because God knows we can’t/won’t run the football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 There are certain media people that are quick to dismiss the Bills and especially Josh Allen. I'm not quite sure why, but it happens.

SirAndrew Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Titans are frauds, I’ve been saying that for a while. I just don’t believe in the resurgence of Tannehill leading them to a title. It’s been all about defense and Henry. The Titans always reminded me of the AFC playoff run the Jags had with Marrone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Bowl teams don’t have games like that. Our QB regressed, our coaches can’t adjust and game plan was just too conservative. We got beat bad in all aspects. We are teetering on fluke status. Next week will be very telling on the direction we are going to go this year. Oh my god, a Super Bowl team ACTUALLY had a much worse game--I know it's hard to remember because it was a whole year ago, in week 1 even, and they got blown out. The KC Chiefs were 2-4 over a stretch of games that looked a lot like this in 2019. Even the friggin' 1985 Bears had a "game like this" against Miami. We also did not get "beat bad in all aspects." Najee Harris had one long run and was otherwise completely bottled up. Singletary looked very good. It was a close game that turned on a blocked punt. A fluke? It's not like we were 3-13 and turned it suddenly around last year... we've been building a great team for years and were coming off a 10-6 playoff season.

Mat68 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Its a tie game without the block punt. Thats the difference. Buffalo and Pitts was a good game. Defense on each played well. Give me an L in Sept over November and December. I think it humbles the organization and come out firing in Miami. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to you personally, but god almighty, this is one overreactive and stupid take. We played subpar and we were still leading against a playoff team for more than 3 quarters. Our D held them to 4.6 yards per play. We outgained them by 120 yards. Yes, Josh was "meh", our o-line had a ton of holding penalties and we lacked balance, but the game essentially hinged on a blocked punt touchdown, which probably happens every 3-4 years, if that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the superlative play of Josh Allen, the Bills won’t go far because God knows we can’t/won’t run the football. In 2018, the Bills defense gave up somewhere around 70 pts and the most yards by far over the first 6 quarters of the season. For the rest of the season, they had the fewest yards allowed (and wound up a close third overall)... I doubt that it was just that Vontae was that bad. Things can change in a hurry from game to game and the offensive line did not look like that last year and it was almost the same guys, so maybe it was just one bad game against possibly the best front 7 in football. Get that punt off, or run Josh up the middle on the 4th & 1, and we might be having a very different conversation today. But, ifs, buts, etc. It was a bad game but far from a hopeless game.

Southern_Bills Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I wouldn't get too worked up over what a guy trying to generate ratings says. He could be right for all we know, but he definitely has no data to back this up. The fact we got beat nearly a carbon copy of the AFCCG is the only scary part. The staff has to get a plan B for these type of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I wouldn’t call the Bills frauds but they really do struggle a lot against physical teams on either side of the ball. I don’t get why they don’t have that in them. I understand why it might give some people pause. But frauds…. We will most likely have a tough time against KC, TB, TEN, NO.

Oh, lay off with the condescending nonsense. You relax, "bro" I'm always amazed at people who will write something that's easily read as a rant and ridiculously hyperbolic and when someone responds, well, that person is unhinged. You wrote on a public board, something absolutely ridiculous, over-the-top and easy to counter and I did. calmly, I'm fine. You worry about your Cassandra self if you are going to rip a team apart after a close loss to a playoff team. The idea that "no SB team has a loss like this" is ludicrous. Arguably, every team but the 1972 Dolphins did. And you say that the other poster "watched a different game." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
