Seems like a bit too much panic right now

Look forward to glass half full after we destroy the Falcons Monday. As if McDermott hasn’t been bouncing back after losses for 8 years now. 
 

But no, it’s us that need to prove ourselves. Not the 2nd year QB and head coach on his 2nd team. 
 

The only thing we have left to prove is Chiefs in the playoffs. And how on the up and up those games were is very questionable. 

 

We've lost back to back games every year since he's took over as HC. The bounce back tends to happen after that. So I am nervous about tomorrow but maybe that's a good thing as I felt quite confident about last week and...

We very well can win tomorrow night. (I am actually going to the game) But we are not destroying the Falcons or most any team with the secondary we have playing right now.   They have been awful.  Give way too much space all over the field.  The Falcons are not a great team.  But we better have had a strong week of practice and come out locked and loaded on both sides of the ball.  
 

Really frustrating how little we did to improve the team after last seasons crash landing in the AFCCG.  Maybe it’s the coaching.  But we have been sleep walking a whole lot through the first 5 weeks of the season.   I think getting Hoecht back after the bye will really help if we know how to use him.  He is a freaky athlete.  And we don’t have any guys like him on our defense.

We'll have around 5 guys playing in a month or so that haven't been playing. More injuries can happen, but that's a significant percentage of the roster.

 

I really think Beane has be be aggressive at the deadline.  Someone like Olave would boost our odds for the SB very significantly.

 27-10 Bills tomorrow. Bye week to heal. 
 

Back to dominant self by Panthers game.

People are panicking in here today and the Bills didn’t even play.

People are always panicking lol this is nothing new.  There’s a big chunk of people saying ‘we won’t even win the division’ at various points every single season

In 2023, the Bills were a Kadarius Toney toe away from missing the playoffs.

They were a kadarius Toney toe and completely depriving them of a game winning drive opportunity with time left and all 3 timeouts from not winning the division but making it in is a wildcard if I am recalling correctly.  Chiefs likely would’ve lost the division also if you just took away their game winning drive opportunities for no reason 😂

 

the time left thing I am 100% sure of but I will doublecheck if 10 wins and 1 more afc loss would’ve got us in…I’m 85% sure it would’ve.

It probably would have, but at the time it would have felt like the end of the season. The Bills would have been 6-7 and would have needed the Jags to completely collapse down the stretch to get in. As it turned out, the Jags did just that. What I remember is that the NYT simulator had the Bills at a 19% chance of making the playoffs after their OT loss in Philly going into the bye.

Well, they did spend their 1st round pick on a CB who unfortunately had a freak injury. Then they drafted, and kept drafting, defense. Another one of them just went on IR for knee surgery. Stuff happens. 

Always seems to happen with their defenses

More talent would be great.  I agree we need a speed receiver.  Maybe the guys you mention will make a difference too. 
 

it just pisses me off every season the holes and deficiencies in the roster. Beane is so mediocre acquiring good talent.  
 

maybe it’s the scheme and the coaching staff.  We just seem to be spinning our wheels.  
 

i don’t think people are panicking.  I think it’s more frustration that they see a team w a bad secondary and a pretty weak receiving group.  
 

And a coach and GM who don’t seem to want to fix the situation.

I posted this on the Game Week Thread:

 

A must game win for the Bills?  Are people insane? A little history will help:

 

2021:  the Bills are 7 - 6 and 2.5 games out of 1st place in the east.

 

2022:  the Bills are 6 - 3 and in 3rd place in the AFC East.

 

2023:  the Bills are 6 - 6 and 3 games behind Miami in the East.

 

2024:  the Bills are 3 - 2 after 5 games.

 

So in what alternate universe is 4 - 2 season over for a team with the above track record?

I'm missing something - where did I say it was?

 

Edit: Ignore me, you were backing me up with the bounceback happening after a couple of defeats in past years. Sorry!
