Bill from NYC Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) I don't even mind the semi-prevent that led to the 3rd Q score. If you told me at 24-0 I could trade 8 points for 10 minutes, I might be ok with it. And it took some huge breaks and horrible reffing for that to even happen.I hear ya!!! Look at what happened to the Giants last night, and even to Pete Carroll in the super bowl. Running out the clock might not look glorious, but the idea is to WIN football games. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited September 14, 2015 by Bill from NYC
BUFFALOKIE Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Classy Colts fans: http://forums.colts.com/topic/40378-congrats-to-the-buffalo-bills/ New respect.
truth on hold Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Tyrod's 88.2 QBR was the 5th highest total a Bills QB has had in the last 10 years (in his 1st career start). You firmly believe that EJ would have played one of the 5 best games a QB has played in the last 10 years?EJ had the highest QBR in the preseason in the league, and by a wide margin over other Bills. So by your logic placing all important on QBR then you're the one with the "firm belief" EJ performs better, a conviction I never stated
BuffaloHokie13 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 EJ had the highest QBR in the preseason in the league, and by a wide margin over other Bills. So by your logic placing all important on QBR then you're the one with the "firm belief" EJ performs better, a conviction I never stated You're free to think and assume whatever you want, but the highest QBR EJ has ever posted in a regular season game is 76.2. Regardless, the Bills are 1-0 and beat an assumed Super Bowl Contender in their home opener. Let's just be excited instead of making up make believe stats for players who didn't play.
truth on hold Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 To the bolded: because Boobie has a role on ST You make it sound like zero catches for Sammy (yes, he had 0, not 1) is his fault - ("low production effort"); not exactly. Was a combination of other factors, i.e., not getting targeted enough, defense took him out of the game, QB missing a progression, etc. Seems like a bit of an overreaction to say "not going to get down on Sammy." Other comment: what's the over/under on Solomon alluding to "getting to the second level" ?...... I'm not making the early call its Watkins but it stands to reason on this roster someone will be left out in getting the touches/targets they deserve. Just not enough balls to go around.
Chandler#81 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 11 pages on a classic Bill thread and no mention of Kyle dropping into middle coverage on a few blitz schemes. Granted, it looked funny, but he's a space eater in an area the QB expects an opening from the blitz. Instead, I've seen a few posters B word he was invisible. Luck didn't go there so it appeared Kyle didn't do anything on the plays. When in doubt, go with what Rex says. Just a hunch, but with a couple lanky D-players at DL & LB, there may be more of this next Sunday to counter Gronk -and to a lesser degree, Chandler & little crossing receivers.
GunnerBill Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Are we really still talking about Quarterbacks? Tyrod played well. Until he doesn't QB talk should be banned!

He did it in the Bears game last year and got the game-sealing INT.
Nihilarian Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks for posting that picture, saw it on the tv broadcast and was looking for a screen grab during the game. couldn't find one. You're very welcome. Had to share that picture with other Bills fans
FireChan Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 He did it in the Bears game last year and got the game-sealing INT. Kyle didn't drop into coverage, he was rushing the passer.
HuSeYiN_NYC Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 How about a BIG shoutout to the fans in attendance? I was at the game and none of us sat down the ENTIRE game. Best experience I've had at RWS by far. It was louder than I personally have ever heard and just stood up the whole game out of pure love for the team.

A darn shame some of the younger Bills fans never made it to Rich Stadium during the late 80's, early 90's when the stadium actually had more seats, and held more fans. The noise level was crazy back then for the playoff games. I particularly liked the Raiders 51-3 AFC Championship, and the comeback games. I'm really hoping the Bills get to have another Championship home game soon so the current fans can feel the real craziness that surrounds a game like that.

Supposedly the weather was HORRIBLE. I remember being there, with my coat off, and not being cold at all. The electricity from the crowd kept me warm.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 New respect. Indeed, classy bunch. Wish them all success.....with all teams other than ours!

But yeah I agree 100%. I will most certainly be at the Bills 1st home playoff game because we haven't even made it to the playoffs since 3 years prior to me being a fan of the team.
GunnerBill Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 we haven't even made it to the playoffs since 3 years prior to me being a fan of the team. Likewise. 2002 was the first season I paid any passing interest.... been pretty much an avid fan (as in watch every game) since the NFL made it easier for fans based abroad to do so in about 2008.
