The Bi-Polar Bills.........

[BillMafia716ix]

I don’t see a dominant team anywhere in the NFL this year. Every team has their flaws. Even if we had to go on the road in the playoffs, I think we could beat anyone. Offense is in a rut right now but I have faith they’ll figure it out.

First 4 games of the year: 4-0.....Offense score 30+ points in each game, and looks unstoppable....the Defense, though not great was doing enough to at least look competent.

 

Next two games:  0-2......After scoring 30+ points in the first 4 games, the Offense scores a total of 34 points in these two games, with "curious" play-calling and mind-numbing turnovers.....the Defense looks like a hot mess, especially in the Falcons game, and big questions loom over the team going into the Bye Week.

 

Next two games: 2-0......The Offense looks dominant in putting up 40 points vs the Panthers, then Josh looks like MVP Josh for the first time this season vs the Chiefs.....The Defense seemed to turn the corner in these two games forcing turnovers vs the Panthers and generating the most pressure a Bills team ever put on Mahomes vs the Chiefs.

 

This game: Both the Offense and Defense revert back to the way they played in the two losses earlier in the season, showing the exact same problems and flaws that occurred in those games.

 

So, which of these teams are the real Bills?? The dominant one we have seen in the six wins, or the hapless one we have seen in the three losses??

 

I leave you with one last question:

 

The pictorial was funny, but agreed on the bipolar comment.

I think you're really underestimating how truly bad this core is. Teams aren't producing with these guys. The announcers are practically laughing at how bad they are at getting open on a weekly basis. This isn't to say the coaching helps. But I don't think there's any amount of "creativity" that's going to make Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, Elijah Moore, and Tyrell Shavers get open when they simply can't create separation against even single man coverage.

 

 

I get this.  But is the receiver room that much worse than last year when the O consistently lit it up.  Remember the Lions and Rams games.  What did we have last year that was so much better than this year?  I really want to understand.

IMO, yes hollins was a big loss.  I also think they used Shakir a little more in the middle of the field.

But is Hollins that big of a difference?  Palmer worse?  And how did Allen go 23-26 against KC?  Bad receiving corps seems to be the meme, but does it withstand scrutiny?

The Rams look solid on both sides of the ball. Stafford has to be the favorite to win the MVP this year.

How confident is this team?  Enough to take a few games off. Remember the Giants first Superbowl victory over the Patriots they went 9-7. No one cares about those seven losses now. 

If we lose to the Patriots again I will worry. Losing to the Dolphins tells me we mailed it in by design.

Hollins played every week and for all of his limitations he caught the balls Thrown to him and he brought an energy to the offense.  He was great in the running game.

He made a huge catch on a long ball for the Pats late yesterday.  When I saw that I said "damn."

Welcome to the "odd" years where we struggle to win 11 games and things look hard.

 

Next year we will be back to winning 13 again.

 

Have alternated 13 and 11 wins for 5 years now.

Yesterday ...

 

Yesterday McDaniel and his coaching staff outperformed McDermott and his staff.

Yesterday Tua outperformed Josh

Yesterday Achaine outperformed Cook

Yesterday Waddle outperformed our entire WR room

Yesterday the 2-7 Dolphins showed up to play, the 6-2 Bills did not.

 

For the third time this season the team showed up lifeless at the opening kickoff and remained lifeless all game ... Why is that happening with regularity ?

It's a two man race right now between Stafford and Jonathan Taylor but we all know what position has the better chance of getting the award

It's possible the players are starting to tune McDermott out. After 9 years and not getting to the big game despite having 17 as your QB I could understand if the team is starting to feel that way. Many Bills fans(myself included) seem ready to move on from this FO. It feels like this team is getting worse not better and a change may very well be needed.
