Herb Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 In my entire history of watching our Bills, this was the most unsatisfying win I can ever remember. I'm 44 years old and have been a lifelong fan. If Bills management aren't 100% behind letting Josh call the plays after these last two weeks, we're in a lot of unnecessary trouble. 5 3 4 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman did say the K-Gun consisted of 12 plays. It’s the speed and relentless tempo that wore teams out. Right now it seems we are snapping the ball with seconds to go on the play clock. That’s not uptempo and I think we could use that intermittently to keep defenses gassed. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Dorsey has clearly been overthinking things to a detrimental point the past two weeks. When you have a generational talent like Josh, you owe it to the fans to be your absolute best every game. The Giants were the biggest underdog all season and it took an uncalled pass interference on the last play of the game to win with a healthy and dominant offense. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Worst win would be like the Jets win in week 1. Your franchise QB is out for the season and you only win because the other team's QB has some sort of episode and gifts you it at the last moment. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToGoGo Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 People are forgetting we’re still a little jet lagged and the Giants weren’t. I don’t understand how people can watch the Chiefs scrape out half their wins but B word and moan when the Bills do the same. Remember the whole “we can’t win close games” crap from last year? “No excuses”. I think a percentage of fans want perfection every week. That’s not how reality works in the NFL even for the best squads. How’s the Jets loss looking now? 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyC81 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 This was truly a strange day of NFL football. The last 2 unbeaten teams both lost on the road to good defensive teams with crappy backup QBs. I had the 4 screen up for the early games and every game seemed boring. I don’t know if the league is watered down or what but there are few well played games anymore. The scoring had been way up in recent seasons but today there were 17 teams that scored less than 20 points. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won because the Bills now get the preferential treatment SB favorites get, and that is refs will lean your way in 95% of games. I THINK most fans are concerned because the Bills offense looked bad for 2 weeks in a row. To them I say do not worry they will look like their old selves next week and put up 46 points. The Pats secondary is decimated, and our D line is missing Judon while Baremore and a few others are playing threw injuries. (They been on the injury report). Then of course you have the most offensive offense in the league that has the O line gives up the most pressures going against one of the D lines that gets pressure.. maybe Malik Cunningham starts since he can run for his life all game.

BuffaloBillyG Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Every year we see teams like the Chiefs win one or two of these ugly games a year. The Patriots would win these games as well. Yes, it was ugly and we looked awful. But they gutted out a tough game and it goes in the win column. That's literally all that matters. 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) I have seen the Bills lose on last play from scrimmage TD... At stadium, in person... Was that the worst lost.

zow2 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 They needed to win a close game in the worst way. They’ve been on the wrong end of a bunch of one score games under McDermott.

Ya Digg? Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I could not care less if it was an ugly win. Still got the win. And for those of you who are going to say can’t play like that against ________, pretty much every single team you could fill that blank with played bad this week. Chiefs and Bengals also had an ugly win. 49ers and Eagles didn’t even win. Miami was down to the Panthers. A win is a win 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Other contenders played ugly games yesterday and actually lost - Eagles and 49ers, and I don't think Bills fans feel like those teams are bad now. In the NFL you rack up the wins necessary to get to the playoffs and then try to catch fire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you’re seeing are the Bills rebuilding and looking for a new identity in real time. Allen and Diggs only is unsustainable and the first thing McD and Dorsey are saying to each other this morning. Not to mention Father Time will catch up to Diggs soon and he will need to become an elite slot receiver which would be a death blow to this team as it is right now. We have an improved Oline and are trying to get the running game revving for the first time in years. But Cook has his limitations and are trying to find the most effective ways to use him. Our receivers behind Diggs are not performing. Davis is unfortunately not consistently reliable, nor is Knox. Shakir is OK. What we need right now is a big dose of Kincaid and Sherfield. Less shotgun. A SMARTER run game, not just a balanced one. More playaction. More rhythm. Remember, it’s about having momentum in December/January, not October. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Daboll still has a very clear understanding of the Bills offense and clearly used that information. His former underling, currently his replacement, has added some new things but the basic structure is still what Daboll put in place. I'm less concerned about the Bills struggles last night than I am about whether other teams will analyze what Martindale did with Daboll's information. Dorsey is going to have to think up and install new components for the Bills offense, during the season and not during preseason or training camp when that work is usually done. I am not convinced he's up to that. The Bills dominant team in games 2-5 this year was beautiful but will be a distant memory by the December. One or two more serious injuries and the wheels will officially be off. The Bills better buckle up and win the games they are supposed to win, because any more cheap losses and they could fall out of a playoff position completely.
