Take a deep breath

[Capco]

There's 8 games left.  Our secondary has been banged up.  Josh is injured.  The last two losses have been competitive.  This team is still stacked with talent.  

I know that was a crushing loss and a heartbreaking game to watch just now.  But I still believe in this team and this coaching staff.  

Go for a walk.  Grab another beer.  Throw your kid in your pool.  Do whatever you need to blow off some steam.  

But next week, you'll be right back here rooting for your Bills.  And you know it.

[Punching Bag]

At least this was not an AFC loss is all I can say.

[Peace Frog]

I'm done, at least until the playoffs.  Josh is freaking killing me with his mistakes.  Oh, wait a second... I know the game is already over, but I think Jefferson just caught another pass.  So, so, sick of this crap.

[pigpen65]

2-9 in one score games

[Big Blitz]

No. 
 

You blew a 17 point lead late in the 3rd at home these coaches all deserve the scrutiny they’re not going to get.

They can't stop the run and the offense under a guy who had never called plays before is having serious issues. That means NE is going to be tough, still have Miami again, and NYJ. I don't think they will get 100% healthy, almost no team ever is. If you are cool with competitive losses that's on you, but this is starting to mirror being a Yankees fan the last few years. 

[Freak-O]

This one really hurt though because it felt so unnecessary. Come to think of it, so has the other losses. 🤬🤬🤬

[RichRiderBills]

Dude was a tough loss. Give folks a break. Will be wild here for a few...deal with it.

 

Crazy NFL history weird wild game...pleeze with this "take a deep breath crap"

That doesn’t fix our coaches to make decisions that win

Bills should have smashed that team!!!’

[B-Large]

Enjoyed every moment of that, i

think I had 4 mini strokes… lol… meh, Josh stop forcing things.  Glad he played, just enjoy watching him.

 

get healthy, win the East.  Head into the best football when it matters most. 

[BigDingus]

Obviously we'll be back, but c'mon, don't act like everything is fine & this is just your usual tough loss. 

 

Our QB hasn't played well for nearly a month now. We're about to be THIRD in our division. People love to pretend Allen is on the same level as Mahomes, but he's just not. 

 

We're losing home field advantage once again, and we're all tired of this disappointment. Nobody is saying we won't make the playoffs, but c'mon, is a WC spot & going through Arrowhead AGAIN really going to make anyone happy?

I felt this way about the Bills once.  Once.  Trust me, as you watch this team over the years, the inclination to "be grateful no matter what" mentality will dissipate and you will be able to view the Bills in a clearer lens. 

 

Of course this is just a game, and life is way bigger than if the Bills win a game or not. I am a loyal fan and want the best for the team and all of us, of course, but that does not mean critical feedback or thoughts that include the players or coaches are not helpful or useful in keeping perspective.  The Bills were outcoached and outplayed today. It warrants criticism and a message board is that place.

 

What makes losses like this and last weeks perplexing is the fact that we are now in a place of questioning whether this team is a group of pretenders or contenders....and according to the media all off-season and early season, we were the "chosen team".  Now we are a 3rd place team in a division within an entire conference.  The reality exists that we miss the playoffs altogether. Wrapping one's head around this new reality takes a bit of getting used to.

 

Sure we will be rooting for the Bills next week, that is not the point.  The point is this team is considerably overrated at the moment and getting in over their heads by the week.  McD has done a great job in getting the Bills in a different place but his skills are now a major rate limiting factor in the team being able to take the next step.

This ain’t it bro. 
 

We were touted as the SB favorites. We yet again lost in an embarrassing manner. 
 

Honestly, I have zero reason left to believe in this team. Of course I’ll watch next week. I watched every game through the drought. 
 

Me watching and the Bills being awful are not mutually exclusive. 
 

This team is one of the biggest wastes of talent (on paper) I’ve ever seen. 

[TFBillsfan]

Sorry right now this team is in trouble to make the playoffs with the current trends. 
 

ZERO ability to run the ball when needed

Major struggles in the RZ

Simply failing in short yardage 

Playcalling is maddening at times

Continuing to get outschemed in 2nd half

Josh making headscratching decisions 

D continues to give up big yardage on 3rd and 4th downs.

In game coaching decisions in close games are horrible. (example 2minute warning Minny 4th and 18th….did ANYONE reinforce knock the ball down) Deja vu of the AZ game.  But not kicking a FG to go up 13 to start the 4th qtr is inexcusable.

Failure by Beane to address IOL and misses at RB

DL is MIA way too often.
 

 

 

[Nextmanup]

The game just ended!  

 

It's awfully early for this much of a rationalization thread!

 

 

[Bangarang]

Our issues aren’t isolated to just this week. They won’t magically go away. 

[Airseven]

There were several “take a deep breath” threads last week too.

[BuffaloBaumer]

Miami is better and will will the division. I have accepted that and just hope our weak schedule gets us to  wild card.

   Well I hope this plays out with Minnie taking the NFC to have a showdown  Bills in  AFC,  the 2 teams who have lost 4 sb with 0 wins.  The rematch would have do many storylines.

Wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one gets full first

[Roundybout]

I'm done with deep breaths. Miami and NYJ are ahead of us and they ain't slowing down. 

[Mantis]

Yes, the team is still stacked with talent, but so are the Chiefs.  After beating the defending Súper bowl champs, Tennessee, and KC, we had ourselves in prime position to be the #1 seed.  If we fail to get it, and we lose a road playoff game, we can say that this game ruined our season.  
 

We’ll be thinking about this loss and the season-long repercussions for the next 3 months.  Going for a walk and having a beer won’t stop that

That’s a potential final game matchup- healthier, we win that game 9/10. 
 

now the pressure is off a little, and this team can get back to getting players back and playing their best ball.

 

excellent lanscape lays ahead, there for the taking.  If we don’t, that’s on us. 

[YoloinOhio]

I’ll get right on that bruh

That's all true, but neither of these teams looks like a SB team, right now at least.

 

Philly vs. KC is more likely.

 

 

[Big Blitz]

This coaching staff managed TWO soul crushing losses in one game today. 
 

TWO!

 

 

We’re in uncharted territory of choke.

you’re a pretender until you prove otherwise…. may have to beat the Chiefs, in Arrowhead.  
 

I like our chances 

[SCBills]

We’re 6-3, 0-2, 3rd place in Division. 
 

-Defense literally cannot stay healthy. 
 

-Josh Allen refuses to stay calm and not force throws. 
 

-1-2 insanely improbable losses per year… it’s not normal. 

-Mid-Season swoons every year. 
 

Do I think we get right and make a run? Yes, I’d bet on that .. but this team/coaching staff deserves a lot of criticism right now.  Most of it is justified at the moment.

Not when we should be 10-1. 

[BillsFanNC]

If they don't fix the run D, the remarabky consistent red zone turnovers and unforced coaching errors and we can take deep breaths while watching other teams not named the Bills play in mid January.

Are you this much of a bandwagon fan that you can't stomach a 6-3 record?

Except I’m not assuming they beat CLE or DET with how they are playing. ZERO TD’s in the 2nd half since KC. ZERO!

I think Bills fans want two home games in the playoffs.  That is beginning to look less and less likely.

I always enjoy watching the idiocy of Bills fans on full display after every loss. Mainly because of their macho, fanboy, frat boy, jock sniffing antics that goes on during the week leading up to the game.

 

Bills fans have become spoiled little brats. O how quickly you forget about the drought years that went on for two decades! We have the best QB in the league and in Bills history! Shame on all of you for crying like children! 
 

My team didn’t win! O boo hoo! LOLOLOLLL

 

Josh is a supremely gifted and talented QB. He is still young and he is still learning on the job. Don’t lash out like myopic children because he hasn’t won a Super Bowl in his first 5 years, it takes time!

 

Sheesh. 
 

Half the message board needs to go sleep it off and stop acting like d-bags.

Another one of these threads.  Last week it was hey we're still the 1 seed, etc.  Now we are on the outside looking in.  I fear Allen's brain also broken.
