nero1 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 I honestly believe that what we are witnessing is the beginning of a new era. This coaching staff is instilling a mindset of how to win instead of how to lose. Also, a desire to win.
billykaykay Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 What really had me worried was the yackety sax series of laterals to end the game. Jesus, it felt like it went on for 5-10 minutes. 40 seconds. unbelievable. Bills do have a different feel for me this year, after those fortuitous calls versus Atlanta, it seems like Kharma/attitude is positive this year. I thought we could come back because the offense was effective and the D most of the year has been able to make huge plays. Your avatar is a bit juvenile.
Jon in Pasadena Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 At the point when the game was tied 20-20 I stopped by a random Orange County bar I'd never been to before, walk in just in time to see TB score to make it 27-20. I'm thinking "!@#$!!!" Then I see the owner behind the bar is wearing a Bills shirt; I order a beer and we chat about where we grew up. It felt like a sign from above, and though it was totally irrational, I just knew some way, some how we'd pull out the W. I'm not at all superstitious, but that was weird.
Doc Brown Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I honestly believe that what we are witnessing is the beginning of a new era. This coaching staff is instilling a mindset of how to win instead of how to lose. Also, a desire to win. I like what I see so far but they still have to find a franchise quarterback. If they don't do that this staff will end up with the same fate as the last six coaching staffs.
djp14150 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I thought it was a loss as soon as we didn't score on either turnover. Just can't afford missing opportunities like that. Gutsy and lucky win, I'll take it Not scoring on s turnover is a piss poor measure. You need to factor in where it occured and points that might have scored against the team. Mistake was made at the end of the half snd not attempting a FG.
Virgil Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 The stadium started to clear out at 27-20. Everyone was pretty convinced we would lose. Unfortunately, TT and the team earned this. Fortunately, they scored in 3 plays to keep people around. The stadium was deafening when White created that fumble. It was a nice, different feeling

Virgil Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Earned what? He's 19-16 as a starter. Earned the reputation of not orchestrating late game comebacks.
BobbyC81 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I wasn't confident until the final tackle... And even then I paused to double check for a penalty flag. Being a Bills' fan is not for the faint of heart! LOL That last play went on for so long, I had an "Oh sh$&!" moment when Evans got the ball and started running along the left sideline. Luckily a Bill was there after he ran for about 10-15 yards. It became so helter skelter an open lane could've easily opened up.
ganesh Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 That play is still not over..... sadly though that play could make Poyer season over if torn pec is confirmed. A question: What happens if a Bills player commits a penalty on that play? Do the Bucs get one more play
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Earned the reputation of not orchestrating late game comebacks. I guess. He's got 3 4th Quarter Comebacks, 5 Game Winning Drives in 35 games. That's 8.6% and 14.3% respectively, and that doesn't factor out games we took the lead and never looked back in. Also, with a Defense good enough to keep us in games this year I suspect you'll see that 4QC number inflate a bit, as there will be more realistic opportunities to make comebacks happen.

Isn't the point of a very good defense to have the lead in the 4th and not have to comeback?
WhoTom Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 A question: What happens if a Bills player commits a penalty on that play? Do the Bucs get one more play Yes. The game can't end on a defensive penalty. Last week on TNF, the Raiders got two extra plays after time expired, allowing them to beat KC with 0:00 on the clock.
Cripple Creek Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I leaned back, crossed my elbows and said "they're going to lose this !@#$ing game". you have excellent flexibility!
Cripple Creek Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I'm honest. I had little faith. I'm glad they proved me wrong. Now I am worry about the Poyer injury and our pass defense. Carr will have a heck of a day next week I'm afraid. The life of a Bills fan, even when we're happy we aren't.
8-8 Forever? Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I said almost exactly that to my husband after the game... Tampa Bay did a very Bill-sy move with that fumble. i remember Fred Jackson putting it on the ground in a similar situation, same part of the field to hand the Jets a game 5 years ago or so... yes a very billsy thing to do Same thing here. That was a lovely surprise. I am trusting the process more and more, i completely trust the process. you can it in action with the guys they are letting go (not doing much) and the guys they are bringing in (doing quite a lot)
cd1 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 When the Buccaneers took a 27-20, I was not feeling good, but not giving up. Then Tyrod hits a deep pass to Thompson. A play I did not expect. Although I was worried that the Bills scored too fast. Is it just me or did Tampa Bay even try to stop Shady when he got his second touchdown? Then Tre'Davious White makes that great play giving the Bills the ball back. It was exciting if not nerve wracking, but they got the win. Now keep making more adjustments and get ready for the Raiders. Yes BUT BUT BUT .... There was like 14 seconds left on the clock after we scored the (soon to be) "game winning FG". My brain immediately switched into "Music City Miracle" mode - surely NOT for the FAINT OF HEART!
Game Manager Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Gave them 2% chance to win Still amazed Taylor completed that pass to Thompson.
Royale with Cheese Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I wasn't confident and I also thought Haushka hooked the FG.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I wasn't confident and I also thought Haushka hooked the FG. keep him on the Left hash mark.
