Having said that, I don’t think in a million years they would admit to wanting to run it up, and I also don’t doubt for a skinny minute that they are actually thinking it. I agree with this. The one thing overlooked in all of this was the fact that Allen still had some lingering shoulder issues, and while McDermott may not show it on camera, I think the fact the Bills were forced to play a game on such short notice was the catalyst to anger. How could he not be angry? McDermott wanted Allen to heal up but instead, he got thrown in to the fire.

Rico Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 3 pages now & no one has mentioned the Titans running up the score with 2 minutes left in the game (Tannehill to Jonnu Smith TD pass). I don’t think the Bills have forgotten that, they will be loaded for bear on Monday night. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, BuffaloBill said: OK, but that was last year. It’s ancient history. I highly doubt McDermott has devoted much of any time to it. As a matter of fact, it’s probably safe to say he has devoted exactly zero minutes to it. It is tangential to the team’s goal of winning. I can all but guarantee McDermott and the coaching staff reminded the team of their beatdown they suffered last season at the Titans hands and the circumstances surrounding that game. If he didn't, he's foolish and McDermott is no fool. He's a wrestler and wrestler's never forget a beatdown and the motivation to pay that back in spades.

hondo in seattle Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 4 hours ago, Inigo Montoya said: There is no argument that the Bills needed to beat the Chiefs this season to prove to themselves that they deserve to be at the top of the AFC going forward. It was a coming of age type of victory for this team. I think this game coming up against the Titans is different though. I think the Bills just want to crush the Titans because they don't like them. I have no fear of a "let down" performance from the BIlls following their big win against the Chiefs because on some level, they want to beat the Titans even more than they wanted to beat the Chiefs. Last season's loss to the TItans was harder to take than the loss to the Chiefs was, and I think the Bills have been looking forward to getting some payback ever since the schedule came out. I think the Bills are going to destroy the Titans on MNF. McDermott knows what this game means to his players after last year. This game is going to be a blow out and the Bills won't take their foot off the gas until the final whistle sounds. I think they want to beat all their opponents and play more-or-less equally hard each game. I think that's one of the things that McD does well. He keeps the intensity high each week. The game may be a blow out (cross my fingers) but it won't be because the Bills hate the Titans more than the Chiefs and play harder.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I want and expect a beat down on the Tuesday Titans. They benefited from a mentally and emotionally taxed Bills team dealing with two straight weeks of Covid related issues. Now give The Tuesday Titans credit for turning their own poor judgement into an “us vs the world” situation. This year it’s going to be fun to watch Vrabel look clueless on the sideline.

Yeah The fans hate the Titans because of history (primarily Music City Lateral) but the current Bills players? They lost to them in one game last year. It’s more likely that they will have a beef with the cardinals who got lucky on the last play of the game. I agree. I can't imagine there's a single guy on the roster who circled this game in particular on his schedule. Outside of Henry, this is one of the blandest, least passion-stirring teams in the league. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our big problem was we hand no one to cover AJ Brown. Cam Lewis may become a good player and Josh Norman was a great player but they weren't up to the task in last year's "now" if that makes sense. Our bigger problem was inability to run the ball against Tennessee's DL to take the pressure off the middle of the field, with Josh unable to hit the deep ball and struggling in general to pass. 2 INTs didn't help. Our biggest problem was ST. Yes, Bojo delivered a perfect coffin-corner punt, but he also outkicked his coverage (or else it was a total ST fail) allowing a 40 yd return on a 57 yd punt and a Tenn drive starting on the Buff 30. Then you have an Andre Roberts fumble on another punt return, leading to a Tenn drive from the Buff 18. That and the two INTs are how you have a game where you outgain the other team 370 to 334 yds, convert 76% of your 3rd downs, have only 2 fewer first downs, have a 5 minute TOP advantage, and you lose in a 42-16 rout 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Bills did a really good job on Henry even with some of the scrubs we had on D that day. In the first half they held Henry to 10 carries for 24 yards. A chunk of his yards came with 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter, when the game was pretty much out of reach being down 12 points. 13 minutes ago, JerseyBills said: I'm usually over optimistic but this is the NFL.

The Pittsburg game was an anomaly IMO. Week 1 can be just as flukey as some division games. I don't think the Bills were prepared for what Pitts was going to do on D and the offensive game plan was crap. They ran 5 wide like half the game. The difference in that game was a blocked punt for a TD. How often does that happen? Not saying the Bills didn't lose that game. Just saying I wouldn't expect to see that again this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Digg? Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I don’t think these guys play “angry.” They play with a lot of passion for sure, but I don’t think anger is a catalyst for them. Angry is what the Rex teams were, stupid penalties left and right. For them to come out of the KC game and say it was just another win (yes I know we all know different) I can’t imagine that this game means more to them. That being said, I expect to see a team laser focused though on getting the job done convincingly this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to talent and strategy, focus and preparation are essential to winning. They can often be the edge the gives you the win. In a extraordinarily long season, particularly after a watershed win on national TV that has the football universe telling you that you are the greatest thing since bread came sliced, it isn't hard to see the possibility of a team losing that edge for at least a few days, days that are critical to focus and prep for your next opponent. There is no way on God's green earth that I see McDermott not using every tool that he has to ensure that focus and preparation remain top priority. If you were him, during this week with all the world singing your team's praises, with that objective, would you remind your team that they are preparing to face the team that handed them their worst defeat in recent memory? No way they say it publicly. But I believe it's there all week, and it'll be there on the field Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last part of last year, Moss was on IR, our RB's were Josh Allen, Motor, and Yeldon, didn't have a lot of options other than to pass. Beasley [also gimpy] was essentially our move the chains offense late last season. I do get worried when our D is on the field for 80 plays.

I had a knee jerk reaction and then I thought about it and came back to the same place. I think the Bills went into the Pittsburgh game believing in their press clippings a bit much. As Diggs said in a presser any time you take an opponent lightly, you can get your ass whupped. I agree with you that the Bills were not prepared for what Pittsburgh showed them on D and the offensive play calling was...inappropriate for that D. But even so, there were a handful of missed deep throws/short throws not taken that could have totally changed the game; the OL executed poorly across the line. So without good focus and preparation, sure...we could see that again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 They've run the score up four straight weeks so that's probably a safe bet. Let's keep the streak of 3+ score victories going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I think the Bills win by two possessions but I don't foresee a 3+ possession blowout. I think the Titans run a soft two deep defense which means the Bills are going to have to dink and dunk up the field and run the ball. Which along with the Titans run heavy offense will limit the amount of possessions in the game and make a blowout a bit harder. But I do think there is a level of "personal" hate in this game for the Bills after last years game where the Titans just completely out muscled the Bills. Similar to KC I think there is a feeling that the Bills want to be the bully in this situation and prove to themselves there is no team that can out physical them. I just don't see the game script leading to a running the score up situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
