Looking ahead to the Falcons…A must win?

So either they both played their hearts out and New England is the better team, or Buffalo is the better team but half assed it last night and lost.

 

I'll step out before I have to give myself a warning

The Bills are overrated. 

The QB has been good but not great, despite some flashes.

Defense is bad, and the team is sloppy and undisciplined. 

The receiving corps is well below average.

Not good

I don’t know about a must win. What I do know is that these night games are wearing me down like my Saturday night wine issues.

How did we play our "worst game" of the season?? We played exactly like we have all year except this time we faced a competent team who smacked us in the mouth. Get used to it. Our D is weak, our O is OK, and Mr MVP still panics when the going gets tough.

So we've turned it over three times in multiple games this season?

 

This was clearly our worst outing

No, no we haven't.

But we sure haven't been pounded like we were last night. Parts of games yes - like Miami and NO were getting close with tough plays. But last night was a Pats team that had a plan and we couldn't figure it out. They adjusted to our adjustments. Monday night will be the same... tight game, JA will force the ball again. Just watch...

Don't we get the suspension guys back by Monday, and probably Oliver?

 

Either way, I can't bring myself to worry about the Falcons. If we don't have a 2-score lead in the 4th, after a loss like yesterday, we're likely not a contender this year.

 

But my belief is that we're still a top 3 team & contender.  I think we'll roll until the Chiefs game.

They are suspended for the first 6 games - so after Monday nights game I assume they will be eligible. (Ogunjobi though, really?? not a big upgrade tbh). Hoecht, yes... he will help!

With our D, we won't be contending. Don't fool yourself. They are that bad.

It's pretty much the same defense as last year, and the Bills were in the AFC Championship Game.

The Patriots barely beat us when we played our worst game of the year. A uncharacteristic, sloppy 1st quarter that put us behind and we were chasing from there on out. There's plenty of time to right the ship. 

they played that same "game" all year. Only difference is, the bum keon coleman fumbled, and so did our extravagantly over paid TE. 
this offense is predictable as *****. "mangia" = SCREEN. if *I* deduced that... im sure the NFL defense they're playing against did as well. 
no creativity. 

The defense, whole other story. SAME game as the first 4 weeks. no ability to tackle, cover, sack, or other wise get off a field on 3rd down. 
embarassing.

If you’re not worried about the Falcons then you must have forgotten about Bijan…

 

Aside from Henry/Lamar they were the only team I had concerns about running through and around our defense. Last night they weren’t atrocious but there is definitley cause for concern given how the season has fared so far. 
 

On your other point, yeah, still a top team. Nothing wrong with a stumble here or there. It’s to be anticipated.

Unless we start buying some officals the Bills are screwd 

[TheFunPolice]

The Falcons lost 30-0 to the Panthers a couple weeks ago. Sorry if I'm not shaking in my boots. 

 

They are a very up and down team, which makes them potentially dangerous and also potentially a blowout win.

I just don't understand why so many on this board see only rainbows and unicorns with this current team.  We legit could/should be 1-4 against bottom feeder teams.  I get that it's the NFL and "Any Given Sunday", but blah blah blah...  These people think we're panicking... It's not panic, it just taking an honest look at what this team is and it ain't good right now.  Can it be fixed, sure, maybe.  But nothing is pointing in that direction.

woah woah woah... pump the brakes... the career posters here will try and railroad you for not viewing this board with your rose colored glasses. 

You happen to be 100000% factually accurate here.
