The D didn't force a sack, turnover or punt from this offensive juggernaut Colts team until the 10:50 mark...........OF THE 3RD QUARTER!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnaby Wilde Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I honestly believe the Bills heard footsteps by the Patriots and that took the bully right out of them. That's the problem right there. All of a sudden now, the defense are acting like nice little boys on the school yard. I wonder if they can beat the Pats now or even still be in the game by half time of both games. I honestly think the Bills are playing scared now. They aren't the beauty queen anymore and Pats stole their lips stick and mascara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Playoff? Yes. SB? No. Same as before the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 9-8 at best. Team was listless out of the gates today. Yes, zebras handed the colts a TD, maybe 2. But the Bills played terribly and shouldn’t put yourself in the position for the refs to make a difference. Defense didn’t have a good game. Offense was putrid. Can’t see us winning against the Pats once, or beating the Bucs. Scared of the Saints in NO. We don’t have the depth on this team to make a deep run in the playoffs. Star and our rookie tackle are out and it showed…again. Terrible game today. Terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruffalo Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Certainly a team in WC contention for the rest of the season unless some things go horribly wrong. Outside chance at taking the AFC East title again, but I don't know if I see a world where we beat the Patriots twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 1 minute ago, ScottLaw said: I hate how they refused to spend money on game changers upfront on both lines…. Again, a regime too concerned about the cap and the future and “sustained success” instead of the here and now. Its about to ruin their season if it hasn’t already. Well they will have to this offseason. They will have to make some tough decisions on older guys they like but they need at least one Guard, a Center, and they still need a true difference making edge.

Evian Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The Bills can't stop the run. With the Titans, Colts, Patriots, Ravens, and Browns in their way, they have no real path to the Super Bowl. The offense is not particularly good either.

dorquemada Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I don’t see any more than 3 wins for rest of season. Maybe they sneak into WC but what would the point even be? The book is written on how to beat This team. the other issue is that we have players like Brown and Star who apparently are the most critical players on the team who aren’t available. On paper we have a solid roster. On the field we have a sinking team who seem to not really care if they win or lose. Zero fight. Soft and stupid.

Big Turk Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 This is a mindset issue right now on this team, not talent. Hard to say if or when that will get fixed right now. I would assume McD will get them dialed back in but what if their mindset of being too good to have to put in the work like last year is too far gone??

Doc Brown Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 11-6. Split the Pats and win division with a tie breaker. Make the divisional round at minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTruster Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I think they'll be fine. Kinda lovin' it, beat the Saints, then the game of the year with a full roster on MNF. Fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorquemada Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 15 minutes ago, DabillsDaBillsDaBills said: Superbowl winning teams can and do lose blowout losses at home. The SB champion Bucs lost 38-3 to the Saints at home in week 9 last year. One god awful game from the Bills doesn't invalidate the rest of the season. We're still one of the most talented teams in the NFL and if we play to our potential we should beat any team. we aren’t one of the most talented teams, not by a long shot. Who do we have that are difference makers? Allen? I guess, though he’s a pale shadow of last year. Diggs? Hard to say, daboll is far too smart to use Diggs like he did last year. On D I just don’t see anyone that strikes fear into opposing OCs. We have 10 slightly below to slightly above average DL and some finesse LBs. and let’s stop with “one godawful game” when we’ve dropped 3 of 4, where we were favored in each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwater10 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) I have no idea what this team's story will look like when the smoke of this season clears. This is NFL Week 11. There are still 7 regular season weeks to go. Do you recall the narrative about Buffalo and all the other teams around the league 7 weeks ago? Hell, I barely recall a pre "Spencer Brown has COVID" world. It probably will change that much again over the next 7 weeks. Stay tuned. As for a guess... Looking forward to March for real story of this teams future to unfold. I haven't given up on this season, but there are significant holes that need patching no matter how this season ends. Break out the industrial size drum of spackle Mr. Beane. Edited November 21, 2021 by cwater10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Bills were building a finesse, effete team, the rest of the conference was focused on building teams that can run and stop the run. The Bills are so delicate and sophisticated that a High School game plan executed by average players leads to the Bills getting completely physically dominated. I wonder if the Colts came into the Bills locker room after and shoved the Bills into their lockers and took their lunch money. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I think the beat version of this team is capable of winning the Super Bowl. Problem is, the 2021 version of this team isn’t regularly the beat version of itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damj Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 We should still make the play-offs. Either we eek out the division or as a wild-card. We might win a game or two, but if we draw a match-up with the wrong teams, we'll lose. I seriously doubt we make the SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
