SaviorPeterman Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 We've seen the Bills in this spot before, coming off a bye week or facing a reeling opponent in which fans and pundits believe they should be able to take care of business. Looking at the numbers the Bucs defense is terrible currently ranked 31st overall in terms of yards allowed so there is one advantage for the Bills to exploit. Conversely they are currently ranked #4 overall in total offense which on paper is the best the Bills have faced all season and should be a good test to see McD and Frasier's defense can hold up. Personally I believe this is a must win game for the Bills. Some will claim it's not especially since it's another non conference opponent but a loss would no doubt ramp up the criticism of the bills being pretenders. I also believe this is quite possibly Taylor's biggest game of his NFL career and he cannot afford to come out of the bye week struggling and posting pedestrian numbers again against this defense.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Important home game against an opponent they should beat. TB is hurting at QB (although I believe Winston will play), but they look to be getting healthy on defense. Especially their LB'ers. I'm not "concerned" about any of these games at this point. I didn't even expect to be 3-2 at this point in the season, so it's all gravy to me. I expect a big game for Buffalo. Edited October 16, 2017 by Johnny Hammersticks
Bill_with_it Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Here we go again!This guy was a mainstay on BBMB with his concerned posts. Everyday the poster had I recollect them being some of the most awful takes that board had.

Will be interesting to see how McD has this team prepared especially after a brutal loss against a Bengals team that I still don't think is very good. Stakes are high in Buffalo and they can't let this Bucs team get rolling early and jump out to an early lead.
klos63 Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Shouldn't every game concern us? Will be interesting to see how McD has this team prepared especially after a brutal loss against a Bengals team that I still don't think is very good. Stakes are high in Buffalo and they can't let this Bucs team get rolling early and jump out to an early lead. Is a late lead preferable?
HappyDays Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Concerned. There it is. I knew you couldnt contain yourself long. God youve spent months trying to blend in on different Bills forums. Doesnt it get tiring?
SaviorPeterman Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 I'm worried about all the games Me too, at least when this team is still in contention so to speak. But if this team is out of the playoff picture again by Thanksgiving/early December at least my anxiety will be gone and I can relax again. But this game has me petrified because sadly we've seen this same script before. Hoping and praying things are different this year.
NC Bills Brigade Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 with our QB we should be worried about every game so definitely YES!
Romie Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Why are you always so concerned. Go to the doctor and get some meds, no one should be concerned about a football game
Real McClappy Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Honestly not worried at all about this game, even if we do lose we go .500 and still in the mix of everything. Two losses to the NFC really isn't the end all. The loss to Cincy still stings though. Edited October 16, 2017 by Real McCoy
SaviorPeterman Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Define "concerned". That sinking feeling that the season will be over for all intents and purposes if we lose this game. The realization this team simply isn't that good and bound for an 18th straight year without the playoffs. Similar to the Jags london game in 2015, at miami last year, etc. Yes there were still many games left but you got the sense this team was already finished.
John from Riverside Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Im more concerned about your mental health

Did you expect them to make the playoffs in preseason?
Heitz Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Something, something, start Peterman and we'd be undefeated, in 3, 2...
SaviorPeterman Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Did you expect them to make the playoffs in preseason? No, but to quote one of my favorite movie lines...."Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in" I seriously considered walking away from this team for good but I'm a glutton for punishment.
