MarlinTheMagician Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 After the Jets game I posted that "this win felt different." We were not stupid. We were composed. We were not penalized to death. It got a lot of replies. Many said yes, but just as many said "its just the Jets." I hate negativity. So for one day, the optimists have it. Does it feel different yet? Absolutely! Consider what McDermott have done with cap and personnel. Just incredible. Six picks, out of cap hell, beat the Broncos and sitting in first place - and our two highest paid players (I believe) did not even play. Un-bill-evable! Pats looked like crap against the Texans. I am not sure we are not the stronger team. Fish = gutless.
4_kidd_4 Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Very impressive W. Cant get fooled again though, so well see where we are in a week from now. One at a time.
Augie Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Other than one drive that felt "Rex-like", it does feel different. OC and OL coach are suspect, but we are 3 games in. We were also missing what should be our best guy on both sides of the line, so a win is a good feeling. And I do LOVE the idea of two picks per round in the next draft!
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 lets see how they do the next three games. I think by the bye we should have a good idea if it's different? a good win none the less. they will be really tested next week for sure.
JerseyBills Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 I've been saying this. Falling on deaf ears but I'll keep saying it. I trust my football i.q and this team can play ,
HappyDays Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 We controlled the 2nd half. That isn't something we've seen against a legit playoff contender in a long time.
Boatdrinks Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) This season will have ups and downs. Still tough teams on the schedule with more experienced QBs. Pats have had suspect Defense's before, but as we saw they still have Brady. A split with them would be a miracle . Edited September 24, 2017 by Boatdrinks
McBean Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Gonna know who this team really is next week.
Augie Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 By "different", I don't expect a playoff run. Just progress in building a team. Some people have unreasonable expectations.
BillnutinHouston Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Still, way, way too much clapping.
MarlinTheMagician Posted September 24, 2017 Author Posted September 24, 2017 Playoffs or not - it is different. We are on the right track. Anyone that can't see that either likes to be miserable or has no football sense. I said at the time of my first post after the Jets - who knows if we have enough talent to make the playoffs (given the moves of that moron Whaley), but this is a real team. They are solid. They play for each other. And we, my friends, are headed in the right direct. I played this game as long as I could (sadly only through high school) and have watched it 50 years. We are on the move. May take a couple years, but it will be a fun ride. And it may not take a couple years to make the playoffs - we are right on the edge right now.
4_kidd_4 Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 We controlled the 2nd half. That isn't something we've seen against a legit playoff contender in a long time. This is my main takeaway today as well. Thats what impressed me the most.
Augie Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Still, way, way too much clapping. He's trying to clap to counteract the booing of the fans, I think. Hopeless, of course, but a valiant effort!
stinky finger Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 I've been saying this. Falling on deaf ears but I'll keep saying it. I trust my football i.q and this team can play , You don't have.....you CAN'T have......football IQ!! You have less than 600 posts!
Augie Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Let me ask this, which starting QB would you prefer for your team???
Bangarang Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Cautious optimism. If the defense stays great and we can the offense going then Ill get more excited. Ive been hurt too many times to go crazy this early in the season.
dubs Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Still, way, way too much clapping. Huh?? Let me ask this, which starting QB would you prefer for your team??? Ummmm, what are our choices?
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) @marlinthagician They won one game in a row. Call me when they have 4 in a row. (Either way). Edited September 24, 2017 by ShadyBillsFan
