buffbill77 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I think the Bill's are going to have a historically bad franchise year
DocLawless Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Actually, he's right. My Mom's cousin's brother knows this guy named Dunkirk Don who is friends with someone on the staff. Apparently he was told they haven't really been trying in the games or running any plays of complexity due to it being preseason and all. He said we will all see hell unleashed opening day, so that's good. 1 1

Stats were down in almost every category. Last year was a fluke... Expand I wish I could watch you go up to Kyle Williams and say exactly what you just typed directly to his face. It would be fantastic. 2
TigerJ Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I do think that McDermott was experimenting a bit with the offensive line on Sunday. I don't think that is the primary reason they struggled, but I don't think he was doing Josh Allen any favors, as the offensive line, more than any other position group benefits from stability and the development of cohesiveness and chemistry. Switching people in and out and around doesn't facility cohesivness and chemistry. 1

Switching people in and out and around doesn't facility cohesivness and chemistry. Expand I think there is at least a little truth to this. He said after the first preseason game daboll might have shown too much and indicated they would dial it back some. Luckily allen didnt suffer a concussion though as the board would have imploded That being said, ive always thought we might have to take a step back to really go forward with the way we sit right now. It looks like it could be a much bigger step back than i thought though Edited August 28, 2018 by BillsSbSoon

The Bills won their game and got help. That is not backing into the playoffs. Lucked into the playoffs is more accurate. Expand And even that is a ridiculous notion. Everyone plays 16 games and the top 6 get in, simple as that. Baltimore losing a back and forth game wasn't luck...it was Baltimore not being good enough. 2

The Bills only went winless in the preseason once in Marv Levy’s tenure , in 1990.

Expand Backing into the playoffs would be losing your last game and getting outside help to get in anyway. The Bills did their part and won their game as they needed to. I don’t believe there were any scenarios that would have gotten the Bills in if they lost.
realtruelove Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 Fellas, the difference between the haves and the have nots is narrow. The difference between Rex Ryan and Sean McDermott...

It's a whole other for us to get our QBs killed. If we were trying to look bad and catch people off guard then we wouldn't be risking injury to our franchise QB. However I do think we will be better than how we are playing. McDermott seems to get the most out of what he has. Just look at the run defense against Jets, Saints, and Chargers... We were horrendous but eventually Sean got them playing well enough for us to win. I could see same thing happening with OLine. Sean proved with our run defense last year that he can get his players to improve at areas of weakness Expand And don't forget the playoffs game against the Jaguars...We were a play or two away from winning that game.

Lfod Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) I don't about unleashing hell but I don't think the team is a tire fire because JA had a bad start in preseason. People put all thier emotional eggs in that basket. I've seen a lot of melt downs and drivel ever since. Omg JA had a bad game the entire team sucks!!! -sad Bills fans Edited August 28, 2018 by Lfod
