Nihilarian Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Considering that the Bills only scored 6 points against the 1-6 Jacksonville Jaguars who fielded the 30th ranked defense at the time...I'm happy the Bills won! I'm also happy New England lost to the Colts this weekend. I'll be elated should the Bills beat the Patriots IN New England next weekend.

without a drought Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I picked the Bills to win 117-6, you bet they let me down. And the 6 points were for 2 FG's, so with the kicker out it should have been 117-0. If they don't fire or cut someone over this win, I'm not even going to watch them try and go up against the likes of Mac Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 If the Bills could ever get their starting Offensive Line back, we could get back to some 4-5 wide sets. But those have been scaled back since Week One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 This season has not gone how any of us thought or hoped. Through the first 10 games of last year I think they had one double digit win. For decades this team mostly only won very close games or lost. Now we are gonna B word a about a 17 point win looks. You can choose to be optimistic or pessimistic even while being realistic. No need to jump enjoy the ride! Be thankful they have a chance to take control of the division next week. Have fun looking forward to a huge game and root for your team. Marry Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 You should feel exactly like you did coming in to the game. We're still the same frustrating team that has some talent but lacks toughness and consistency. If you're expecting the Bills to suddenly morph back into a SB contender then you might be disappointed. If you've adjusted your expectations to just hoping we can make the playoffs and maybe steal a round in the right match up then today shouldn't change that.

Billsfan1972 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Good thing I waited a while before stating similar and starting a thread that would be maligned and denigrated. The offense as I've said many a times is off. Diggs 4 catches 35 yards, Beasley invisible..... OL pass protection shoddy at best. This was at home vs. Carolina and the Bills looked anything but crisp. But a win is a win and no one I expect thinks they had a dominant performance (vs. those crowing about the Miami & NYJ games earlier). Maybe a good thing????😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m extremely happy they won of course, but I hoped for a more dominate performance. I wanted them to continue their progress from last weeks great half of football. They showed they can be dominate, I did not see that today. I felt the O was the biggest problem, Allen was off, but the play calling was vanilla. How much motion did we see? It felt like they called the same 7 plays over and over. Maybe that’s the injuries? I hope so. That performance does not beat the Pats. Another ho hum win over a bad team. Edit: I am extremely happy to see Obada’s performance. Dude is a beast. Great post. I agree with your assessment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that we saw McKenzie on offense again. Think it helped open up some running lanes. When I put down coaching its mostly in game situations Time outs on defense on what seem like random downs, lack of aggression against or giving a lessor team way too much respect I would love to see the bills offense when they get to mid field use all 4 downs, if its 3rd and 7, make sure allen and the offense know if you get 3 to 5 yards youre going for it. How many times was it 3rd and 9 between the 40s and every wr is running 15 yard routes. Get the gimme yards and go for it, especially against a team like Carolina Same thing defensively, against a team with no QB. Blitz force them to make a decision, make a bad QB beat you. At the end of the game the bills got the ball back around mid field, they proceeded to hand the ball off on first and second down. The bills and coaches were completely content punting it back to Carolina. Go for the throat, you have Josh Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bills and coaches were completely content punting it back to Carolina. Go for the throat, you have Josh Allen I hear you and don't disagree under ideal conditions. The Bills offensive line weaknesses prevent or hinder Allen to " go for the throat." (Especially today with the injuries.) Instead, we are often seeing opposing defenses going for Allen's throat... Defensively, the Bills have trouble generating a consistent pass rush from their front four. Additionally, they have issues stopping a credible rushing attack. These two key issues limit what Fraizer can do. Additionally, the Bills are not as strong in the secondary without Tre. Thus, you see Frazier playing a lot of nickel defense. Kind bend but don't break defense. Not pretty but overall it's pretty effective. Coaching certainly hasn't been stellar this year. There is plenty of blame to go around. As a fan, it's always easy to blame the coaches. I've been more critical of Daboll. The last two games I think he has made some positive changes that produced scores and a better offense. However, the weak Oline often rears its ugly face. I've been a little down on Coach McD. I am a big fan of his. I love his style, grit, attitude, and love for Buffalo. He fits right into the "Buffalo mold." With that said, it seems like he hasn't had the team ready to play on a few occasions. The game plans and halftime adjustments seem to lack some punch. I remember talking to my brother last year and raving about the Bills halftime adjustments. Today, they got the ball at half and promptly went 3 and out. The Bills have a great opportunity in Foxboro. A win can definitely give the Bills confidence to steam roll ahead. Look out...

What a Tuel Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) I dont really understand how this board can continue to critique the talent and skill this team has. There is little to no discernible reason for it. If we win, it was a "should have won anyway, and I don't like that we didn't put up 50 and allow 0." If we lose, "it was a terrible unforgivable loss, the team is soft, fire mcdermott, is allen the answer?" Either way, its just a pessimist way to look at the team, and in the end, its way less fun than discussing the teams issues in a more positive frame. Yes we aren't a perfect team, and yes we didn't come away with some wins in close games. But we have hung in with every single one of the top contenders. But to sit here and continue to denigrate the team is just foolish. All for the "told you so" at the end of the year if the Bills don't win a Super Bowl. Makes me wonder what the Bucs forum is like right now after getting shut out by the Saints. Edited December 20, 2021 by What a Tuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder what the Bucs forum is like right now after getting shut out by the Saints. The team is 8-6 and in 2nd place in the division. Fighting for their playoff lives. Is that what you a expected from this team when the season started? Imho, the criticism is warranted even if its not fun. If they win out then the team deserves accolades for gutting out a division title and going into the playoffs hot. I think most here had high hopes about winning a super bowl this season. Thus far, that seems to be a very tall order. The Bills weaknesses are in the trenches and its hard to win vs quality teams. I don't think it's unfair to say that. Sorry if it doesn't feel good or isn't fun. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
