Walking Tall

I hate that they emptied the tank in a loss. Seriously had to be one if the guttiest efforts I've witnessed. That makes me think they may not be physically ready this week in Baltimore. That battery was drained and needs to be recharged.

Funny but WGR said that the conditions were almost identical so who knows.

Add in not scoring on 2nd and goal from the 1. The Bills dominated the game but made some very uncharacteristic mistakes. Exhaustion related? Probably. Either way, good teams sometimes lose to inferior opponents. There is absolutely nothing to gain by dwelling on this loss. Get healthy and this team will be contending in late January/ early February.

Funny, because in the last 20 years or so, only one other team has won a game when being so thoroughly dominated (winning when being outgained by 250 plus yards) as Miami was yesterday. One time. BTW, that game also was won by Miami. But your cliche saying sounds good.

That would be a real shame if Allen only lasts 18 years like Roethlisberger.

I seriously worry about this game for two reasons. 1- Will we be operating with a full tank of gas after emptying it yesterday? 2- Jackson being able to buy time may expose our injury riddled defensive backfield.

Want to fight?

One way Bills could have helped their own players was to slow the game down. They ran 90 offensive plays. How many of those do you think they took down to under 3 seconds before snapping the ball? Not many. They should have thought of that pre-game.

Well, they lost yesterday but this team left it all out on the field. They have themselves to blame but the effort was top notch.

It was no issue when we won there in September last season 35-0.

The Bills offense didn't do their job yesterday. End of story. I think almost everyone that sees the game without a bias can agree on that. And who said the Dolphins offense is high powered? ecause they had one good quarter out of twelve quarters this season? And the offense didn't score that safety.

The Bills will struggle in Baltimore. I can already tell you that. They emptied the tank yesterday. It will take some to to bounce back from that game. Not to mention our d-backfield will have issues. Jackson is the type of QB that can buy time. Can the Bills MASH unit hold up? I doubt it. The Bills just need to get rested and bealthy at this point.

After a night of thinking about this the offense didn't do their job. End of story. 3 points in the final two and a half quarters is pathetic.

We can do this as many times as you wish. We have no RB that can get a yard on a consistent basis in short yardage situations regardless of our blocking. How many times do you think Henry has been stopped on 3rd or 4th and short? 10 of the time? Using one week as an example is ridiculous when talking about a power back.

I get that. But sunce IT IS a line issue, get someone physical as ***** that can get that yard or two or has at least a way better chance than what we have currently.

I still want a guy on the roster I know will 90 percent of the time bang in there and get the first down or TD. Regardless of the o-line run blocking, we could use a back like that.

Agreed. I can't believe he didn't make that 38 yard FG. I can't believe he didn't hang onto that Allen pass in the endzone. I can't believe he dropped that pick 6...not to mention short hopping it to a wide open McKenzie for a TD. There were other plays I could mention his suckiness as well. He's a scrub.

The Bills need a straight up power back for short yardage situations. Yes, the line needs to block better but I also want a brute that can carry a player across the damned line of scrimmage if he's hit behind it.

It's not.

Yeah, that's why I'm not up in arms about this loss. The Bills actually dominated the game. I believe exhausted players made some non-characteristic mistakes as the game went on. This game reminded me a lot of the Rams game. A whole lot of dominance and a whole lot of points left out on the field and not put up on the scoreboard. On to Baltimore where I will admit I think the Bills will struggle after this loss today. Total exhaustion.

Reminded me of Paul O'Neil smashing a water cooler. No issue with it up in ghe booth after the game ended.

That's just a hot load of bull####.

Yeah, I mean, a team that rarely punts and chews up the opposing defenses clearly is lacking on that side of the ball.

Agreed. It would have been incredibly dumb to challenge that.

Yeah, it means we have 1 loss.
