Have you ever seen so many teams "give up" to a team before
Dan replied to Sharky7337's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don’t think they gave up so much as the Bills just beat them into submission. Consider that we score a TD, get the ball right back, score a second TD on the 1st play of the 2nd half. Then GB took close to 10mins (I think) to methodically move the ball down the field. It was a beautiful drive and I can imagine exactly what the coach told them was the game plan to slow down our offense and stay in the game. They score on that amazing catch. Score is 14-7, GB bench is ecstatic! With just about 4mins left, its a one score game and they get the ball to start the half. The game plan is working. Bills get the ball, score a TD. Just under 2mins, GB gets the ball ends up punting. With 53seconds, Josh hits a bomb to Diggs, we kick a half ending FG. Its 24-7. The Bills easily scored on 4 consecutive drives. And I’m sure Rodgers was thinking well this game plan sucks.. just as the coaches said they’re gonna stick to it. GB played tough and physical. But the game was never in doubt. The Bills controlled it and every one knew it. -
Yeah.. no idea when this happened during the game. But definitely concerning if its serious and he misses time.

Exactly what I’m hoping too. A few weeks rest, tighten the brace up and be ready for the playoffs... with Tre back to 100% playing time by then as well.

LOL. thanks! Its been an interesting morning reading all the bad takes of how bad we are after what I considered to be a pretty good win. At one point, I was thinking maybe i watched the wrong game last night. So gotta fight idiocracy with humor. In all seriousness though, I am worried about Poyer’s elbow. Mostly just checking all day in vain for an update. Losing him for the season would be a huge blow.

If Beane doesn't do anything before the trade deadline it's an epic fail

Bills' point differential dominating through first 8 weeks
Dan replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
I hope you’re right. Deep down I truly agree with it. Maybe its Just latent BBFS that wont allow me to relax? LOL -
We didn’t win by enough! You see you’re focusing on the outcome, the win. What you need to be looking at is how we played. We got run all over, some would even say the Packers dominated us. Clearly something has to change so we can win each down, to heck with the final score! /s

Bills' point differential dominating through first 8 weeks
Dan replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agreed. Which is why we should win each game. I’m hopeful our next “off” week is against another NFC team. -
Tougher division foes down the stretch BUF or KC
Dan replied to LabattBlue's topic in The Stadium Wall
I just posted in another thread, then saw this one and it’s probably more appropriate here. But I don’t think the Bills’ division wins are all given as easy wins. They should win, yes. But the Jets and Dolphins are playing pretty solid football. For me, at least, those 5 games might be the hardest left on our schedule. -
Bills' point differential dominating through first 8 weeks
Dan replied to Inigo Montoya's topic in The Stadium Wall
I know I shouldn’t type this... but I don’t think we can just write off the Jets as 2 easy wins. They’re a 5 win team; no matter how, they are. Its kinda crazy but the Jets and Dolphins are going to make us earn the division title I think. There’s no doubt we can beat any team. We should, in fact, beat every team left on our schedule. But every year, each week there’s a few head scratchers. I just hope we play our best when we play our division. If we have an off week or two, hopefully its against the Vikings and Bears. -
I haven’t read this thread and have little real football knowledge, but I’m completely confident in saying... NO. Our expectations are not too high. This is the worst 6-1, conference leading team we’ve seen this year. There’s literally zero chance we could beat the Chiefs! And with out run defense, good luck if we have to play the Ravens or Titans. Henry would put up the first 400 yard rushing game. And now if Poyer is put on IR and never plays again our pass defense is shot. Time to look at the draft prospects. There is only one expectation left... pain. oh yeah and Edmonds still sucks and cant even spell LB let alone play it. Dude never makes a tackle. I’m done with this team until later tonight after work!!

NFL Week 8: Packers at Bills - post game thread
Dan replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
Are Bills fans quickly becoming spoiled? Don’t score on every drive, don’t put up 40 points... and everyone is unhappy because the win was inly by 10pts and just not as good as it should be. Wtf. We won, easily. Enjoy it. The Packers heard all week how bad they were and how the Bills were going to steamroll them. They took it personally and came out and playing for their season and pride. Bills still easily beat them despite it all. Enjoy the season!- 608 replies

That stadium, outside, would look completely out of place in an Orchard Park field. Now, maybe they could have come il with a different design? But the TN stadium isn’t a good comparison due to its downtown location. is it just me, or are the interior pics of the TN stadium and the Bills stadium extremely similar?
-
Even better! lol

First of all, its a bit funny to read all the teeth gnashing and disgust at the boring design and lack of everything... based on 2 fairly basic rendering pics. Second, the only real issue I see with the over hanging canopies... where are they going to hang the dozen or so Super Bowl banners? And, along that line, is there a wall of fame around the stadium? Or is that going away? Finally, for all the careful observations and commenting on the lack of this or that... is no one really going to ask why there’s a futuristic submarine surfacing outside the stadium with an “awkward” looking Bills logo on it? P.S. I thought it would be cool to have a Falls replica inside the stadium, and make the visiting players run through the waterfall to get to their locker room. Oh well, maybe in 50 years.

Situational Football (Preventing teams from scoring w seconds left)
Dan replied to bobobonators's topic in The Stadium Wall
The squib quick took 4 seconds off the clock, from 16 to 12. And the Chiefs started at the 28. Kick in the endzone... and they start at the 25, with an extra play. Yea, high kicking to the 5 seems like the sure way to run time and not get a start much past the 25. But its no guarantee. The ball could easily go into the endzone, bounce out of bounds, or the returner actually make a guy miss. So I’m squib kicking every time. My question is about the stadium clock. So with 5 seconds left, they hike the ball, pass to Kelce, he dives forward, they get 9 yds on the play, and call a time out. All within 4 seconds!? That.... is what seems improbable to me. -
Agreed this drive... was just incredible. My initial thinking when the punt was downed at the 4 was lets just get out of this half and regroup... and maybe a long FG to get us to within a point. Two plays later, its 3rd and 13 and my mind is running through the scenarios and thinking we could easily be down 17-3 before Allen gets the ball in the 3rd quarter (if we’re lucky!) Then Allen just did what he does!! It was so impressive and the type of drive we’ve all seen great teams do. Its the type of drive that makes a team and a fan base nervous when they take a 3 point lead in the 4th quarter. Every player, every one watching knew Allen and the Bills were going to score again. The only questions were would they get a FG or touchdown? And how much time would be left for KC?

I was under the impression the first team was, however, named after Buffalo Bill? https://www.buffalobills.com/news/important-dates-in-bills-history-how-the-bills-got-their-name-16401977

IMO, all the hype and stardom doesn’t sink in until you win a Super Bowl. Until that day... I’m sure he feels he still has a lot to prove. ...and in many ways, he does.

Isn’t this what we all said last season? We won that regular season game. But then lost to the Jags. As others have said, it’s a long season. And this is just one game with many more to follow.

Thats an awesome perspective! Love it. On a different note... where’s the Baldy breakdowns?
