Norwood for Wall of Fame Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 Good teams win games when they play badly. Good teams play 60 minutes. Good teams don't have momentum swings within a game or from game to game (offense is bad week #1, defense is bad week #2, etc.) The difference between teams with talent and good teams is in the leadership. QB, veteran player, coach all own this. These Bills are not a good team. They're a team that can't make it happen when they need to, even with a 15 point lead in the middle of the third quarter. Never mind how much fun it is to watch Tyrod or how smooth Sammy looks when running routes. Never mind how complimentary the opposing offensive line is about Kyle or how sharp one or the other of the Browns is at making open field tackles. This is not a good team. The Bills have had very few good teams and none outside of the Kelly era. Who didn't step up yesterday? Tyrod, Sammy, the Browns, Kyle and the Defensive Genius coaching staff. Who cares if any of them stays? They're not going to lead a good team in Buffalo, not next year and not ever.
bmur66 Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 I think this is the best "Team" we have seen in a long time. They are just deficient in a few areas.
fridge Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 I think this is the best "Team" we have seen in a long time. They are just deficient in a few areas. Like QB. If you simply swapped Taylor and Carr, but kept the teams otherwise constant, can you imagine us crumbling late in the game like that?
NoSaint Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 good teams do have swings in momentum and blow games. they just do it a lot less, and it tends to be a little less extreme in nature. really, the league is very close on a lot of stuff and if you can have yesterday happen once instead of 2-3 times suddenly you are a wildcard team. if you can turn 1-2 of the average games into good games suddenly you are a division champ.
BuffaloFan68 Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 If we had a decent QB we would have most likely won yesterday.
NoSaint Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 If we had a decent QB we would have most likely won yesterday. yea, even just a couple completions in the second half wouldve completely changed the game. not even calling for big plays, but just a few of the move the chains throws to slow down the momentum change. when everything is collapsing its a real blessing to have a guy that can stand in and strap the team on his back for even a short window to level the nosedive out.
Norwood for Wall of Fame Posted December 5, 2016 Author Posted December 5, 2016 good teams do have swings in momentum and blow games. they just do it a lot less and bad teams do it constantly for 16 years.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 5, 2016 Posted December 5, 2016 I think this is the best "Team" we have seen in a long time. They are just deficient in a few areas. That's some yardstick there. Comparing this team to the dreck of the past.
