I just can’t smile, sorry.


Italian Bills

Recommended Posts

We won, we go onto the next one, we are still in. 
 

All good things but with the way we escaped from this one, stop me to smile and enjoy. 
 

This was the right game to make a real statement: 

 

a 9-8 team from the State of Florida playing in hour house, with low temperature and more than 70k people with us

a 9-8 team without their QB1 (with a rookie QB3) and RB1 and other missing players

we doubled their yards, up by 17 and all of a sudden thanks to stupid plays with two interceptions and a fumble we were down by 4, 24 to 20 !

Diggs disappeared after a monster start, why ?

Beas and the slot game, like the short check down, almost never used, just bomb after bomb

the run game almost non existent, awful i could say

 

Maybe i’m missing some other point… the coaches part for sure, but i’m too disappointed to start writing about them. 
 

We won.. of course i’m happy, but I can’t find a joy because all the above. 
 

I AM SORRY guys.

What if we win the SB playing all the games like this?

 

How many posters will we lose from cardiac events?

 

Are the Bills trying to see how many people got the CPR training they were pushing?

We won't win next week playing this way.  No need to listen to me, wait a few days.

 

 

 

Very unlikely they play this way again. The assumption play carries over from one game to the next is the most overthought falsehood there is in football by fans.

Maybe that and that there are such things as trap games are equal.

 

Games are their own singular unit. Nothing carries over from one game to the next.

The Dolphins played Russian roulette by blitzing a ton to force turnovers and daring us to connect on the long pass. It worked just not enough. 
 

Obv the Bills could play better, but plenty of teams win close games against inferior teams and it doesn’t doom them going forward. 8 game winning streak!

423 yards of offense.  
 

34 points

 

We were sacked 7 times and turned it over 3

 

 

 

Paisan, I choose to see this as to show how good this offense can be.  Even when it doesn’t play perfect.  
 

I’m still mulling over the D and it’s inability to get to Thompson enough.

I would even go so far as to say, their performance today will likely be a big factor in them playing better, not worse.

You really made a thread about not being able to smile?  Lmao, go outside and find something to smile about then rather than whine about it here.  
 

We are on to Cincy, score doesn’t matter anymore.  It’s a one week season every week.  Man up

How soon we forget a 17 year long drought where everyone’s weekends in January were spent watching movies and wondering what if.

 

The Chiefs lost to the Colts and the Texans took them to OT.  Last years number 1 seed couldn’t survive a single game in the playoffs.

 

You just gotta make it in.  That’s it, absolutely anything can happen after that especially to a division opponent that was relatively healthy (with scary weapons) aside from QB.

 

Do I wish we played better?  Of course but literally anything can happen on any given sunday.  Take no wins for granted.  If you want dominant victories go play madden.

 

1 win down, 3 wins away from super bowl champs.

 

Cheer up

Go ahead and smile! Playoff wins are hard to get, regardless of the opponent.  This was a divisional opponent, which is even harder.  
 

On to the next game, and figure out how to survive that one.

17-0 about to break the brakes off them, and we let them in the game with some and turnovers. We kept on trying to force the issue and their DL was getting home. Lucky to win, but we found a way. Bad teams like the Chargers would have crumbled, glad the Bills did not.

Dorsey was awful 


Is he still awful if Knox holds onto the TD.  If Shakir holds onto the deep shot?   Still awful if Allen hits Gabe on any of the multiple deep shots he took where Gabe had a step?

 

He had guys dialed up open all over the place.  
 

Bills offensive players were the best defense to ourselves today.

That's on you.

 

2 weeks ago this team saw a teammate die and be revived on the football field. A week and a half ago they got the good news that he'd live a likely somewhat normal life. A week ago they won their regular season finale against a divisional opponent largely on emotion.

 

I view this week almost as week 1 of a new season. Had to shake some rust off.

 

A win is a win. Who cares how fans feel about it as long as they advance?

 

So, respectfully.... who cares if you can't smile about your team winning a playoff game and advancing?
