Enough with the “Jets poor kicking cost them the game.” The missed extra point was made up for by the later 2-point conversion (which Gase would not have attempted otherwise) and the Bills were robbed of a FG on the bogus taunting call in the first half. The Nyets were badly outplayed.
I mean it's the reality of the game. We came in with an unnecessarily risky game plan that nearly cost us the game against a weaker opponent. You can't tell me that by the end of the 3rd quarter you didn't think... 'damn, I wish we just established the run and let the defenses battle this game out'. To me, that strategy would have yielded a comfortable and controlled win for the Bills.

Or, it could have been a blow out if not for some lucky bounces for the Jets...
Totally agree, my point was that we could have more than likely won the game with a conservative game plan. Instead we were very fortunate to overcome everything that happened in a road game.

Only thing that I would criticize is coming out week 1 on the road with a pass-heavy attack seemed overly optimistic, risky, and unnecessary to secure a win. It nearly cost us the game if not for the Jets poor kicking and the Moseley injury.

If I recall, it was in the 4th quarter. We went out of bonds with 5:03 on the clock. The clock stopped for the refs set the ball, once the ball was set, the clock continued to run (as it should) down to 5:00 and continued to run into 4min and change before the Bills snapped the ball. I thought the clock would have stopped at 5min in this scenario, but I guess not?

My opinion of the game was that the Bills came in with way too optimistic of a game plan, that Allen would be running a high powered offense to light up the Jets. It felt like the Bills could have eventually won a conservative battle of running and punting if that had been the initial plan. It almost bit us, but then the Moseley injury and Jets kicking game saved us. Still gotta give credit to Allen and the offense execution in the 4th.

A supposedly great draft, the same for free agent pick-ups etc., etc., etc. We're a better overall team ! A great defense. All is wonderful !
But, what it's all about is a 23 year old QB.
Can he be the team leader? I don't see it! He's immature. He looks it, acts it and it shows on the field.
Can he throw more TD's than Interceptions? I wouldn't bet on it based on his history!
A winning NFL QB can't have a 52.8 completion %. Can he do much, much better?
He's a nice kid but can he ever be the MAN?
Why do all of the major NFL polls predict the Bills will finish 23-25 out of 32 teams??? Is it because of Cole Beasley, John Brown, Ed Oliver, Tremaine Edwards, Mitch Morse or Tre White?
The days of the 4-5 year re-build are way, way over. Players demand trades and new contracts quickly! Two (2) years is a reasonable re-build time now IF YOU HAVE THE QUARTERBACK !!
DO WE HAVE HIM?

I disagree. I think this is a critical game for Bills. I expect the Jets to get better as the season goes on, especially on offense. Of course I think the Bills will do that too. However the Bills Defense should be head and shoulders above the Jets D in Game 1 here and Bills have to take advantage of that and win this game. If Bills can't beat what was a lousy Jets team last year in Game 1, then Bills fans have no business talking about playoffs imo.
I'm hoping the Bills can stick near .500 throughout the first half of the year. I fully anticipate the O-line to have some bumpy points as they try to gel and hopefully hit stride mid-year. You want your team performing best at the end of the year, so I disagree that a loss to the Jets week-1 means playoffs are out of a realistic expectation.

I'm 50, so just short of that, 200 plus in attendance games including the Comeback and the Super Bowl Wide Right and the end of the Miami losing streak, listened with my brother as OJ went over 2000 yards in '73, we were in our shared bedroom.
And there is plenty of opportunity once the games start...and there is just as plenty opportunity right now, too.
It is pure laziness as a writer or critic to not actually look at the teams you are commenting about. Waiting until the games are played is for suckers and too f***ing easy.
Well I hate to break it to ya, but ESPN/NFL websites are looking for 'clicks'... Also, they care more about large market teams, because, more 'clicks'.
Week 1 can't come soon enough!!!

Very respectfully, Bangarang, it is not. Additionally, I am tired of all the "well, they'll get respect when they win" BS. This is an analysis of the teams and where they are at right now.
Therefore, I absolutely can't buy any reasonable person looking at this team and saying, "yep, they'll finish one spot worse than last year...tat's the way it looks now?"
"Well, the Jets have Darnold and he improved, plus they got Bell so..."
Why do the jets get to move up because of year 2 Darnold and Bell and we don't get any improvement with year 2 Allen, and the multiple moves we've made?!
Why its BS that they don't acknowledge Allen's improvement?
Wasn't he 200 yards per game when he got back from injury? Wasn't he the 2nd highest rated QB (well, maybe fantasy wise, but still) in the last six weeks of the season? Didn't they go 4-2 down that stretch? Aren't the 2 QBs remaining on this team after last year's debacle 6-5 in games they started and finished? Didn't the League's number 2 defense only lose 1 player and replace him with a top 10 pick? Didn't they change 9 positions on offense with guys who are, to say the least, to a man better than the guys they replaced, and therefore, making Allen better?
Do they really mean to tell us that this team is only a couple games better than the 4-2 stretch that they put up during the last stretch of the season?
Really?...REALLY?!
It is wrong.
Dude, not sure how long you've been a Bills fan, but eventually you will learn to pick your battles about what sends you into a rage. There's plenty of opportunity for that once the games start.

It would more critical to win if they were playing in Buffalo, but still not a must win. It's wayy too early to tell how good/bad any team is going to be for the season, therefore I find it tough to put a 'must-win' label on a week 1 game. Another problem with week-1 is there is so much 'unknown' about your own team that boils all the way down to just communication and game management by the staff that has to get worked out. Thankfully all teams experience the 'week-1' challenges, so it's just another fun random variable that no one can possibly account for.

Pretty cool that instead of just cutting guys, we get draft picks for them.
-
He's a much more valuable asset being our #2 qb vs acquiring a 6th rounder, which is all you could realistically hope for with a trade.

You know what that term means right?

Sick of the 'we give our bodies up to this sport' argument. Like no *****, and you do so willingly and get compensated plenty. Coal miners also give up their bodies to make a living, usually without much alternative options. So pump the breaks Rogers. You're an adult playing a kids game getting paid millions.

Unfortunately it's too wayyy risky without knowing for sure that once Clowney signs a massive contract, that he's going to continue to work as hard/harder that led him to this point. Plus give up a good player.

Love the simple logic of, we got a good one, so just lock him in to a deal.

Fantasy sports is the D&D of the sports world. It may now be more mainstream, but it was started and perpetuated by stats/numbers geeks.
I guess that's why no NFL player has ever participated in a league.

Just remember before talking about your fantasy football team to another person, that no one in the entire world cares about your fantasy football team.

Sorry but it’s hard to take people serious that don’t even know the names of the players on the team.
Dude hasn't played a single game for the Bills.. relax

Timing for the injury could be a blessing. This forced some rotational experience and learning during preseason, so we'll be in better shape in the scenario that he goes down during the regular season.. Plus they were able to take extra precautions and not rush him back for a meaningful game to hopefully reduce the risk of re-injury.

Preseason proves nothing unfortunately. Silly to think otherwise.

Yes but that's .0001% of kickers. The rest of the time, you're the team joke and sit on the sidelines for all but 3-5 plays of a game.
I'm not sure what your point is, but being on the football team is usually a big deal in college.

What was the score after the first 3 quarters of the game again? How many consecutive passing plays to start the game? How many INTs, O-line miscommunications, and should-be-picks, and missed Jet FGs happened?
Yeah.. we totally had a solid game plan to secure a road win.
