  1. Let that sink in for a minute..  just a couple weeks ago Buffalo was around 10th with the likes of the Rams, Falcons, Jags and Vikes.  Now they are sharing the neighborhood of the Bears, Bengals, Phins and Cardinals....and still plummeting.  I'm not even sure how to gauge this?  I get how it happened to Houston (losing Deshaun Watson).  But losing Dareus is not the reason this team is imploding.  The big guys on both sides of the ball are getting completely dominated these last two weeks.  We have McCoy running the ball and no one else behind him. That is just a huge gap when you have Tolbert in there catching swing passes.  Taylor, who i like, is just not making quick decisions and  you can see it's not in his nature to throw contested balls to WR's.  Even i can admit, Peterman looks more mature than his years.  From the pocket he makes the quick release into a window and looks pretty accurate. 

    The defense is an abomination.  If the turnover differential wasn't this high this club would be around 2-7.

     

     

     

  2. Last years offense was way better than this years. I think McD is safe for 3 years. He will, however, have to fire a coordinator or two along the way. I was stunned the way the Saints mandhandled Buf on both sides of the ball. I excused the Jets game but this was inexcusable at home.  I think McD was in shock during his post game presser. I agree it appeared the team quit when the Saints went up 24-3. You could see defenders just waltzing around out there 

  3. I’m kinda in awe of the Saints. To come in our environment and do that to what I thought was a relatively decent Bills teams. That’s just nuts. They administered the worst home loss I’ve ever seen. Maybe the 2007 prime time loss to New England was as bad,  but I think that Bills team was worse. Not sure.

  4. I agree the Bills will rebound and show themselves as a very solid team.  I expect a W but we'll see.  They really gotta clean up the penalties and turnovers after last Thursday's debacle. 

     

    The Saints are decent but not the juggernaut that 6-2 would suggest.  In their last 3 they have handled Brett Hundley, Mitch Trubisky and a messed up Winston/Fitz combo.  I'm not dissing them but I'm actually surprised the Saints are favored in Orchard Park.  We shall see.

    Honestly, for me, if Tyrod just throws it to him, KB can go up and get it. The issue is, that's not who Tyrod Taylor is. Call it what you will, but he doesn't throw it to guys unless they're reeeeeal open. Kelvin Benjamin isn't the kind of guy that gets real open. He doesn't get separation, he's just flat out bigger than you. It'll be interesting to see if TT can pull the trigger, even though he's covered, and let him just go up and get it.

     

    Well, FWIW, Tyrod has mentioned the need to throw it up and let KB make a play on contested balls about 5 times during various interviews yesterday.  Maybe he's trying to talk himself into doing it!    But Tyrod is very aware of the need to do this.  I expect him to throw a few passes like this to KB but i also expect it to be near the sidelines or back of the endzone where a pass too high won't result in an INT.   Tyrod will not stand for anymore INTs on his resume.

    After watching what the Jets did to our O line, I'm not so sure. Benjamin isn't a speed guy and any big play to him will take time to develop. The Jets may have provided a blue print for every team we have left to play. Even with Benjamin, this team lacks some serious speed at the WR position.

     

    The blueprint has always been there.  But other teams don't have the D-Line of the Jets coupled with the lack of energy by the Bills on a Thurs night.  The Bills will show up at home and be a different team than what we saw.  Just hope it's enough.  I think KB will catch 4-5 passes at most for modest yardage,  it would be great if one of those was a jump ball TD catch.

  7. No excuses, they beat our butts..  It was noticeable, however, that Buffalo had zero intensity on D or O.  They tried to create fake intensity and it showed by a couple late hits...  I thought NY was intense from the start.  They really roughed up Tyrod and it was borderline dirty, but they played it right to the border.  I saw a couple times a defender would rake Tyrod over the head with an extra knee shot or elbow to the facemask....stuff that was unnecessary but the refs didn't think it was late enough to call penalties i guess.  The Jets really roughed us up badly on both sides.  I expect the Bills to be way more intense than NO on Sunday.  Hopefully they channel that energy into a W and not losses like they did in the Rex era.

  8. Even though the saints are NFC, a loss would be a killer to any playoff hopes.  Buffalo only has 3 losses left to play with.  Can't drop one at home vs NO.  Yes, the Saints are good but they are DUE to lose and McD has been pretty solid so far in scheming against his old NFC South rivals.  I expect the Bills to come out rejuvenated on defense and looking to dictate on offense.  I think that game vs the Jets was embarrassing to every player and coach.  BLo was pushed around on both sides.  No way they allow NO to come in here and roll out with a W.  If they do then the season is officially over and we can just play spoiler.

  9. This Bills team is showing their usual tendency to wilt and get out-schemed as the season goes on.  Since there are 8 games left, this is when McD and his staff have to separate themselves from the past Bills failures and rise up.

    It's quite obvious the Bills have 3 more losses to play with.  10-6 is the record they need to achieve.  I'm going to assume they split with Miami and New England.  That means they have one loss to give between NO, SD, KC and Indy.  Honestly it's gonna be very tough.  They MUST beat the Saints on Sunday at home and of course Indy and split those other two road games.

     

    In the end, if the Bills miss the playoffs I think the Cincinnati game is what kills them.  Being +3 in turnovers while the game was in the balance and not being able to cash in and put them away was atrocious.  That game was a nightmare loss for a team desperate to break the drought.

  10. Nah, the Jets are clearly the better team on this night. You could see the Bills had no intensity from the first drive. Just dominated in the trenches on both sides. Oh well, I would have signed up for 5-3 after eight games.

  11. I don't believe in "trap" games and definitely not in the NFL on the road. If the Jets win it's because they deserve it and play better tonight...It won't be because the Bills took them lightly.

     

    Buffalo has made a nice living on turnovers this season. If they somehow lose the turnover battle tonight there's a good chance we lose. It's about the little things. Take care of the ball!

     

    I feel like this will be like the Cincinnati game in terms of it being fairly low scoring and close. Unlike Cinci, hopefully the Bills find a way to win this one.

  12. Its funny, Dungy and the people on NBC highlights love Tyrod while some people here just have to nitpick him to death. He's a solid QB and his game is to limit mistakes. That's the key in the NFL if I really need to spell it out. Don't turn the ball over and hope you can create a few in your favor. That's the recipe.

  13. So may of these big name QB's throw out stinkers all the time.. i.e. Cam, Eli, Philip, Big Ben, Dalton, Mariota, Flacco, Palmer, Cousins, Winston and even Russell Wilson. All i know is when Tyrod has a poor game or his receivers stink, he gets lambasted here as NOT the answer. Meanwhile when i look up his rankings he's usually in the top 5 or 6 of AFC QB rating. If your TT, Just don't turn the ball over. I think that makes up for any perceived lack of yardage numbers. Protect the ball, make a few throws, use his legs a bit...and he's a solid QB. Believe me, Denver or Baltimore would love to have a QB like Tyrod right about now.
