CDogg20 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Today sucked. By my count I believe we were down 10 starters by games end, which is insane to think about, and we still lost by only 2 points against a good football team and we still had a chance to win. Pats* got us in our first matchup last year too then what happened in games 2 and 3? This team needs motivation like this to thrive. They need to hear doubters to push them to greater heights. It’s just how they operate. For those who want to blame Josh, just stop. Please. Without Josh we’re out of that game by the 2nd quarter. He makes a few mistakes but his pros greatly outweigh his cons. He accounted for like over 85% of the offense at least. We rely heavy upon him which can be scary sometimes but Josh is just a thoroughbred horse. You’ve gotta let him do his thing. I think the heat was our biggest downfall today. We are absolutely fantastic at long drives to kill the clock. A 20 play drive in 100 degree heat is absolutely insane, but CLEARLY our 2 minute offense needs a little tune up. All this said, I am not worried. I still believe we are the best team in the NFL and we win this division easily. Everything just went the fishes way today. Any given Sunday. Weird game. Go Bills! 11 9 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 We continue to find new and amazing ways to lose close games. Despite all the injuries and heat, we choked when the game was on the line. 500 yards offense, held the ball for more than 40 minutes and still found not one, but multiple ways the give the game away. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorquemada Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Miami is a good team, tough as nails, and it was a bad day in terms of injuries and weather. These things are cyclical and will work on our favor some other time. In any case it was a pretty great football game, and kind of exciting that we have a real division rival, and very much looking forward to seeing them play on 12/18 in Orchard Park. Hopefully we can field a complete team by then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I took a nap after the game. I'm feeling better about things. This is like the Pats wind game last year. We should have won but we lost due to a lot of factors out of our control and 99 times out of 100 we win that game. This was just a wake up call. We are going to blow them out in December. It's a long season and we are in the toughest part right now. It's going to get interesting the next few weeks. Go BILLS! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Down 10 starters and having key offensive players play one play and go out from cramping the last couple drives and try and come back in after a few plays out...it was insane. Allen turfing an easy TD to McKenzie was pretty much the feather in the cap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ever smash something? Hurts doesn't it...then guess what...if nothing's broken or torn eventually stops hurting now doesn't it? So yeah, keep ignoring that him smashing his hand shortly before this play had nothing to do with his grip and throw of that pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I’m fine and breathing. i predicted to friends over the summer we would go 4-2 in the AFC East this season. We were bound to be picked off by Miami at some point. 8 straight wins woulda been nuts. No time to panic. Get some guys healthy and rebound. Miami is decent but will get beat by some lesser teams this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'll talk about it - but mentally I'm in a place where honestly, I didn't really think we would win today. Way too depleted way too much carnage in the training room in the last 2 weeks. This team has been through a lot here. And we still had them. 5 minutes ago, CSBill said: On to Baltimore, yes; but I’m concerned about who will be able to play ??? Yes. Which is why starting at 2-0 was huge. The Chiefs and Chargers are going to lose today. It's all good. I maintain the most important thing is to be playing well and being healthy going into the post season. Which by the way - everyone needs a freaking re focus and understand that is JOB ONE. Just get in. The 1 seed is great but if it doesn't happen - I literally couldn't care less. The best teams win. And I think we have the best team. Burn the injuries thread please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he had to have it worked on after that and needed X-Rays after smashing it the play before. Agree his hand definitely wasn't 100% on that play. But don't think that caused the incompletion. Josh appeared to "double clutch"/second guess what he was seeing on that pass (it's a house call if not read correctly). His base was completely off and screwed up his throwing mechanics, you could tell by his reaction he was clearly upset with his decision-making. That's OK, Josh makes that throw 90+ times out of 100. Several key plays (ie: this one, Milano pick 6, Bass missed FG, etc) didn't go our way and it was still a 2 point game. We'll be good, need to get some guys back... hopefully Morse, Poyer, Ed will be ready for Bmore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He dinged up a finger throwing and hitting his hand some someone's equipment just before that. But I don't see the need to blame the throw on something than Josh simply making a bad throw; he mad a bunch of them today. He's done that exact "throw it in the dirt at the receiver's feet" in the past. He wasn't set up right and his footwork was terrible.

No wonder we’ve never won one, Ralph had it easy, with our kind of fans. I think people just find your negativity over the top. It's game 3 in a 17 game season. The Super Bowl wasn't won or lost today, and it's annoying when posters wait for losses to go, "see, the coaches suck and deserve no respect since they haven't won a Super Bowl.". I agree we shouldn't resort to name-calling, but people have the right to respond critically to posts that they find asinine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
