Big Turk Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 They are just a really good team, coupled with us turning the ball over 3 times and giving them two TDs thanks to untimely penalties that would have been an INT and an incompletion on 3rd down that would have resulted in a punt, we made it pretty much impossible. No shame in losing to them at home. The sky isn't falling, we are not imploding. Things will be OK. Relax.
Rob's House Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Horse ****. Bills made some mistakes & Saints got some breaks. This loss is maddening precisely because you're wrong and the Bills should have won this game.
Mojo_Priest Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 This loss is maddening precisely because you're wrong and the Bills should have won this game. Word. The Bills had this one in the bag, I can't believe they lost.
MDH Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Horse ****. Bills made some mistakes & Saints got some breaks. This loss is maddening precisely because you're wrong and the Bills should have won this game. The Bills made some mistakes because they have players logging significant time at key positions who aren't very good. It wasn't some fluke. You can't trot Thad Lewis into the superdome and think you're going to come out with a win. There is no way in hell the Bills "should have won this game."

We gave Brees 2 chances inside our 30 in the first Q....then a third possession from our 40. We were lucky that this game wasn't over in Q1.
Wazzu Bill Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Horse ****. Bills made some mistakes & Saints got some breaks. This loss is maddening precisely because you're wrong and the Bills should have won this game. The Saints won because they have a hall of fame QB chucking the ball against a talented, but still young secondary. No shame in us losing to them. The Bills showed that we have a chance to give KC their first loss next week, I'm pretty confident in that. We played pretty well.
K D Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 It's not the Saints. When your QB turns the ball over 3 times and your defense gives up big play after big play in the secondary then even the Jags can beat you

Pretty much where I am at...others think we should apparently be 8-0 rolling to the Super Bowl however...
Wazzu Bill Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Pretty much where I am at...others think we should apparently be 8-0 rolling to the Super Bowl however... Yeah...there is no doubt we were pretty messy at times. But 3-5 with the schedule we have had is something I can stomach. I expect the Bills to get hot in the second half of the season. Thad has a good arm he's showing some serious issues with his ball control.
BillnutinHouston Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Most teams in the league will beat the Saints at home with their 3rd string QB. Why didn't we win today? Sarcasm off.
Prickly Pete Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 The Bills seem close, but their deficiencies eventually show. There were opportunities to take the momentum, but when one unit makes a potentially game changing play, the other unit falters, or an official blows a call. A poorly officiated game...I'm not one of those hardnuts that refuses to acknowledge that officials can actually take a team out of a game, but I don't feel that way this time. The Bills lost it on their own.

No shame in losing to them at home. The sky isn't falling, we are not imploding. Things will be OK. Relax. As I said on another thread.....they needed to hold them tto FGs and not TDs and also not give them gift turnovers and create turnovers. TD 1---off a turnover with a drive start at BUF 21 TD 2---broken play on defense. these happen to every team every game, NO was able to execute this mistake TD 3-- 2 minute drill---McKelvin INT negated by Mario facemask (questionable call since the penalty in the OL cause this) TD 4--defensive penalty on 3rd down stop gives NO a 1st down TD 5--could have called Offensive PI on the TD because of the Wr pushoff Buffalo needed to hold them to FGs instead of TDs....this would have been somethin like 19 or 23 points and it still is a game---despite the turnovers.
chris heff Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Yeah...there is no doubt we were pretty messy at times. But 3-5 with the schedule we have had is something I can stomach. I expect the Bills to get hot in the second half of the season. Thad has a good arm he's showing some serious issues with his ball control. And accuracy, the Bills need EJ back.
Frit0 Bandit0 Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 Saints made fewer mistakes and more plays when they had to. That equates to a better team
IDBillzFan Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 It's not the Saints. When your QB turns the ball over 3 times and your defense gives up big play after big play in the secondary then even the Jags can beat you Alternately, one could more easily argue it WAS the Saints because their D caused three turnovers while their offense was able to hold off consistent pressure and allow their HOF quarterback to chuck the ball around at will to the tune of 5 TDs. I understand being disappointed in a loss, but if you genuinely believe that this was a game the Bills gave to the Saints, then, well...unicorns and stuff.
Amstel Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 There were two calls that decided the game that went in favor of the league favorites....
NoSaint Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 There were two calls that decided the game that went in favor of the league favorites.... 2 calls decided an 18 point game with a -4(?) turnover differential?
gobillsinytown Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 The Bills are not the kind of team yet that can overcome turnovers to beat a team like the Saints. The Bills did not "give them the game", and the refs didn't decide the game either. I'm very optimistic about our team, but at the same time, realistic about their chances against a top tier team, at home, coming off a bye, in one of the toughest places in the league for visiting teams to play. I expected a loss, but I'm still excited about the core that's in place.

Although I prefer my unicorns with dreams and starlight.
