What will we be saying at around 4 pm on Sunday?

[eball]

I was literally and figuratively shocked at how Josh fell apart in the 2nd half Monday night.  It was completely unexpected, and I’m trying to wrap my head around whether Josh “gets it” that he needs to keep himself focused and on script when playing top defenses.  He says all the right things but he has to show it on the field.

 

I’m going to predict right now that Josh has a huge bounce-back game.  No turnovers and something like 70% completion rate.  I also think the ground game is going to show up big time.

 

What say you all?

 

[Buffalo716]

Vegas should have had the spread at 13.5 LOL

[BBFL]

“I trust the process!”

[Mr. WEO]

Josh needs more weapons

[John from Riverside]

After we win
 

Some of us will be extremely happy that we got a win on the table

 

Some people will say that the Raiders suck anyway and it’s not a real win

[Shortchaz]

That was close

[frostbitmic]

We suck, fire everybody ... And if we lose it'll be really bad here.

[BuffBillsForLife]

Win: "Raiders suck, who cares"

Lose: "I'm a Lions fan now"

Win or lose: "Fire Dorsey"

[BuffaloBaumer]

"I am glad the Bills were up by 12 with 5 minutes to go so I was able to beat the traffic"?

If we lose to the Raiders in the home opener we deserve everything we get. 

 

Agree with eball.

Or, "getting outta here is gonna suck."

 

I'm eager to hear the parking sitrep.

Steve Young once said something that really stuck with me when he said…we are a week to week league and we don’t get let’s get them tomorrow like other sports. Which is accurate.

On Sunday we will be saying like we always say after a loss why didn’t we do this last week? 

[skibum]

If it's a loss, you will probably hear some talk of rebuilding. Not saying it's rational, but you can bet good money you'll be hearing it. 

[Mango]

“We’re doomed”

 

or 

 

“SUPERB OWL!”

[KDIGGZ]

If we are really 0-2 then people will need to be fired. I don't think that's an overreaction 

[transplantbillsfan]

[julian]

It will be unfulfilling even with the W, as will be the Washington W

 

 week 4 against the Dolphins will be our first opportunity to feel the train is back on track

My thoughts exactly. Wish this week was a tougher opponent. Even with 2 W’s, I won’t feel very comfortable heading into the game against Miami.

I think Josh is going to continue to be his new shaky self. I expect at least one turnover. Probably a better game than his Jets meltdown, but nothing has seem to gotten through this dudes’ brain in the past, I have no idea why anyone would think this Jets game would be different.

Who knows. I have a bad feeling though.

I want to wake up and see a nice 50 piece thrown up

[NickelCity]

If we don't get a lombardi this weekend I'm effing done with this team

[34-78-83]

The talk will be of a win that wasn't impressive enough for many's "realist" standards, the truest of true fans of course.

[zow2]

We’ll be saying “god**m,  that was ugly but a win is a win”.  

[Best Williams Available]

He struggles at home early almost every game because he’s too gassed up. I don’t think that changes Sunday and he starts out jittery/sloppy again. Around 2nd quarter he settles and has a decent 285 yard day, 2 TDs 1 turnover

[Goin Breakdown]

A win is a win

What gas is that?

Josh is back baby!

Whatever it is that he consumes that makes him barf before games. Kerosene?

I have friend at the local establishment where I watch Bills games who is a Raiders fan but also a big fan of Allen.  He said someone needs to sit him (Allen) down and tell him to get his shite together.  He noted how "your prior OC" used to sit with Allen on the bench between series but now Allen sits alone.  Nothing that hasn't been said ad nauseum here but interesting that fans of other teams see what we see.  FWIW he also said he thinks the Bills are going to win big.

I had this mental image of him sucking down gulps of nitrous oxide or something in the dressing room before the game after reading your comment 😎

[Buffalo Boy]

   Some of us will be cool with the win, weather it’s close or a blowout.

   Some will continue grinding whatever axe they have been. 
   🤷‍♂️

best post on here today.

 

Dorsey needs to be on the sideline to communicate better with Allen

[Maynard]

Praising Allen like he’s a God amongst men.

I wasn't shocked. Pissed off was a better description for me.  The fact is that the Bills were on the road playing one of the best D's in football.  Allen picked a bad night to have a brain fart.  But it was one game and reminded me so much of the Pitt opening game loss in 2021.

 

I will be shocked if after this season is over the Bills miss the playoffs and half of Allen's games look like Monday night.  At that point we'll have Jamison Winston as our QB.  But I think the exact opposite will happen and Allen will have another 40 plus TD and 4,500 plus total yardage season.

We're tied for 1st place in the division.

Bills won a game big they were supposed to win big. Business as usual.

Then eat lots of shrimp with 3/4 of a pepperoni pizza, and guzzle 9 or 10 beers.  There will be a lot more than 50 pieces thrown up.

[Chandler#81]

Sunday evening I expect to give a big exhale. Raiders are just what the doctor ordered. Hand the ball off, Josh!

[loyal2dagame]

I'll be saying I'm out of beer on sunday at 4pm. Time to bust out the bourbon.

(This will be said win or lose)

Unfortunately I agree with this. Aside from a game or two, Josh has not been ‘himself’ since the middle of last season. He has been a complete turnover machine, and seems to get visibly rattled. It’s like he gets the yips. 

I blame Dorsey very much as well. I think he’s absolutely awful and I have zero confidence in his ability to 1) call a great game against a great team, and 2) be an Allen-whisperer when he needs it most. 
 

I expect we win on Sunday… but something tells me we’re all going to want to be throwing things at our tv on a few occasions.
