We're capable of better than we showed today.

Oh for sure that doesn’t mean the wins were ‘luck’ though…there’s a big difference between those two things lol

Sure, but at the end of the day 30 points is pretty hard to do in the NFL and the Bills make it look routine.

 

The Saints never led in the entire game. Let's not forget that part regardless of what it looked like.

 

30 is not a remarkable feat. Basically every winning team that’s not the giants was at worst within one scoring drive of it

how many times do you remember our Bills losing in billsy fashion games they could have won

 

how many times did teams in yesteryear find ways to lose instead of how to win

 

making plays in crucial situations is how championships are made

 

the best teams in the NFL find a way to win games they didn't play their best

 

I think we play each week trying to put our best Available roster on the field  with who is available

 

Health Matters. Wins Matter. I like winning much more than losing

 

 I may be one of the most  positive thinking posters on this board. our team is not playing perfect football. Just winning football

 

I'm celebrating that. I acknowledge the flaws though.  

Did anyone think at any point …Thd Bills would lose?

They were amped up and focused to try to get their first win against one of the best teams in the NFL.

We were bored, distracted, and seemed to be looking past them. A tone set by the coaches resting so many starters.

 

But it worked out.

It’s the O line opening up the holes that anyone can run through  …There is no way I’m paying Cook !!

 

Just give it to Davis and Ty instead ….

 

Amirite folks ??

He only looks like the best or 2nd best RB in the league this year. For me it's him and Gibbs

To do it week in and week out like it's standard?  Within a score isn't 30 points. What's next? 23 points is almost as good as 30?  Any other team do it 14 of their last 15 games?

Lot of people happily “eating crow”…. They should have to actually to do so …raw maybe 🤔

For all the Debbie Downers out there who are all in on doom and gloom.

Feel free to watch this.  https://www.buffalobills.com/video/sean-mcdermott-s-victory-speech-after-the-bills-beat-the-saints-in-week-4

Sorry they didn't win according to your specifications. If only you could have delivered the post game speech, then they would know that they just aren't good enough to win when it counts.

p.s. Championships aren't won on week 4 vs. the Saints.  

p.p.s. Enjoy the ride! (just give it a try)

I'll take the win like others have said but we have a Defense problem. Sorry to say, it won't be fixed. Not with Babich and McDermy. So when the season ends, we will be discussing the non-super bowl level defense. Everyone, and I mean everyone, sees the defense as an issue. Except for McDermy and Babich. Would love to hear someone say to McDermy in a post game that it appears the defense has some serious concerns. I'm sure McDermy will respond with "we'll watch the film". How much Fn film do you need to watch? 

 

Our defense looks NOTHING like the Chiefs or Ravens when it’s healthy.  
 

But I’m not sure how much of it is talent or the coaches.  McD brought a lot of new cooks into the kitchen to revamp that D this season.  
 

Bishop picking off……Chris Olave was a great read.  
 

But after him we just look SLOW.  Guys are open all over the field.  And the pass rush is still meh.  
 

I’ll say this tho the Saints Oline is pretty good.

"23 points is basically the same as 30" is a new one

Our D lacks physicality. We need more thumpers out there.

Would lose?   No probably not.  Could lose?  Definitely.   When cooks had that near drop to take the lead you had to know it was possible.

I support the "4-0 is all that matters" type takes because we've literally done it the other way before.  There were at least two seasons recently where we had a dominant September (but were only 3-1 instead of 4-0 after four games) and statistically, we looked like the best team ever according to EPA / play or something like that.  (There were threads on here that shouldn't be tough to find).

 

But, as we should know by now, dominating September doesn't matter and didn't matter in those seasons.  By the time the playoffs came around, we didn't play that well.

 

For this season, I want to see us healthy and playing our best ball in January, after having rested because of the playoff bye / 1 seed.  All that matters at this point is that we're 4-0 and in pole position for the bye / 1-seed.

I was about to say the same thing. The issue on the playoffs is we have shown all of our tricks and our defense gets beat despite being dominant all year. This defense will get better and we will learn a lot about them when we see KC again. Also we have won the past 3 games by at least 10 points so it is not a dab defense simply not dominant

exactly. I honestly think our D would be more effective with shaq and Dorian out there. Two guys running downhill and blowing people up.

Oh good call 100 percent.  
 

The physicality we have on offense we lack that on defense.  
 

Rapp and Dorian can bring it but they’re average players.  
 

The D line is really figuring it out mixing in the young guys.  But we still don’t have THAT DUDE up front in the middle to get to the QB and disrupt the run. 
 

Really really need Sanders to come on in the second half.

Tell that to Babich. Not coincidentally our defense as a whole performed better when Strong was out there rather than Tre
