It is the only time I don't enjoy coming to this board to read and discuss the Bills. It seems any constructive evaluation of the game and the team just gets drowned out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I never really understand people like you. It is as if the Bills haven't played any other games this year other than the one yesterday. All analyses of the team revolve around one game. They scored an average of 35 pts per game the previous six games. They scored 6 yesterday and, because of that one game, your view is that you don't see them scoring much at all for the rest of the year? I understand being frustrated, but to believe that - and to suggest the Bills, as the team is "currently constituted" do not have any winnable games left on their schedule is beyond ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan1 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 The Bills are going as far as Allen can take them. Allen needed a wake up call. He got it. Now go back to the formula that worked last year. Throw the ball to Diggs 10 times a game. Yes, it would be nice if the OLINE blocked for the guy...but Allen is not getting the ball to Diggs nearly enough. Every other receiver is a complimentary to Allen/Diggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george c Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) No problem with the loss. Yeah is sucks, but a win in this game might not have given the team a good look inside. Sometimes, a close reveal of your weaknesses, mental or physical, is better now than in the playoffs. There is a lot of bad here that won’t wash out. ‘McBeane, position coaches, Josh, everyone gets to take a solid look in the mirror, and under the hood, and a chance to fix it. The major issue now? Can they put the mental hurt and insecurity behind them, and overcome a lack of confidence going forward. Good teams can, bad teams cave in. .

damj Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 After struggling for the first half against Miami, I thought that would've been a wake-up call. Living with the Tennessee loss over the by week should have been a wake-up call. How many wake-up calls does this team need? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happens. Forces unseen & untold. The other thing that these young'uns have watched is all these New England years where they rarely had a bad loss. There are reasons that happened that way too. We know a few of those reasons (a bunch of others were burned by Goodell). I didn't really think we had a chance at losing this game, but then again, I also wouldn't have gone out boasting this was a pushover game either. Of course, when the only reason a person is a Bills fan is to get drunk and jump through a table, I guess maybe there's not much crow to get eaten...

GunnerBill Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I hated everything about that football game. Losing a terrific MNF game in Tennessee that was a great game to watch I can take.

A team doesn't play as good or as bad as they are. A team is as good or bad as they play. The networks have been trying to annoint the MVP and the sure lock Super Bowl team for weeks now based on this flawed logic. Teams don't "find an identity." And as soon as they believe their "identity" is what will win games, they've lost. So the good news is the Bills can go back to work, practice hard, study hard, look inside themselves for the motivation they need to play tough and determined football. That's what they have to do every week to play their best. And only by playing the best they can play will the wins come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living with the Tennessee loss over the by week should have been a wake-up call. How many wake-up calls does this team need? I’ve seen similar issues in following the Golden State Warriors in the last few seasons. Even in their record-breaking 73 win season, they’d come out flat and look horrible. However, the length of a basketball game would allow them time to right themselves and even result in easy victories. The Bills don’t have that luxury in a football game. The NBA seasons are much longer so it would make some sense for the Warriors to not be at their peak for every game. After the success of a couple championships, they found it hard to get up for regular season games vs teams at the bottom of the standings. Again, you can easily make up for a couple of bad losses in an 82 game NBA season. The Bills don’t have that luxury in a now 17 game season as yesterday’s debacle leaves them only a half game ahead of New England in their division. Warriors coach Steve Kerr would respond to questions about why his team had terrible starts and/or terrible games by saying “they’re millennials. They have a tough time staying focused.” I don’t know if that applies to this Bills team but they sure didn’t play their best game. Did they take the Jags lately? Maybe, but, as heavily discussed, the O-Line just seemed overmatched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Steelers forums. A few threads calling for Tomlin to be fired. Only a privileged Steeler fan could want him out when Tomlin has a better overall record than Bill Cower going 149-81-1 in 13 seasons. If a loved one is a Steelers fan, back them off the ledge.
