Or 4-2 if the Dolphins had just kicked the damn field goals. Etc., etc. Not knocking the Bills at all here -- 5-1 is 5-1, and they've earned it -- but other than the truly elite and truly trash teams, virtually every NFL team can play this "if a couple plays had gone our way" game ... such is parity in the NFL, and mediocrity in the AFC. That's why I always say, just take the win and move on to the next opponent and forget all the gibberish that goes along with it. 1
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Lol. I just saw that Ed Oliver is hosting a coat collection drive, which is admirable charity work, but I can’t help but wonder if it is a tongue in cheek troll job after the big deal made about him wearing a coat in college during a game he was not playing in. If so, I like it even more. 1 2

Did you ever see the piece on his pre-draft interview where someone asked what he thought about the weather if he came to Buffalo and he deadpanned 'Y'all got any coats?" and the room broke up.

That's the absolute worst sports show on television. Skip Bayless is a complete and total idiot. Sharpe couldn't put together a rational thought if it was sentence by numbers. The FS1 "personalities" are pretty horrendous from top to bottom. Throw in Cowturd with his lisp and you have an All Toilet Bowl lineup. Edited October 25, 2019 by H2o 2

The suggestion that Philly's run D is solid but pass D is suspect so the Bills need a big day from their passing game. With the forecast is rainy and gusty 20 mph winds, I woulda thought the situationally-aware OC might want to work overtime at crafting some run plays that might work, but maybe that's just me.

Yes, and I think that the confusion comes because he isn't listed on any of the other days, they are blank, and it looks like he didn't practice all week. But I think that that happens because he took his rest day on Friday...so wasn't on the list for those other days. If, on the other hand, he had a rest day on Wednesday, Thur and Fri would say "Full." Took me a minute to parse this out....but I think it just means he took a veteran's rest day today.

After paging back through previous weeks, that's exactly correct ....week 4 is exactly the same. Looks like it's a pattern to give Bease a day off on Fri. 1

Sharpe is to lazy to be disrespectful. If he simply looked at our game recaps he would have seen that prior to the 4th quarter fumble recovery against the Dolphins our D & ST had NOT given the Bill's Offense the ball in an opposing teams Red Zone through the first 5 & 3/4 games! Sharpe is simply an ignoramus. In fact one of the mysteries of the 2019 Bill's O is that while it doesn't produce a lot of points it does move the ball, is surgically efficient in the red zone and has executed a number of very long TD drives. 1 1

The Bills offense is SOLID. That is it. It plays well in the 4th quarter, which is a major plus, but it lacks consistency. Inconsistent offenses don't win championships.
RunTheBall Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 IDK, this may come back to bite me in the ass but I was more concerned with Miami than I am the Eagles. I don't care what their record was, playing a division opponent with Fitz at QB played out like I anticipated. I figured it would be close, Fitz would get hot, and I figured he'd throw a game changing pick. The Eagles are not a good team. They and the national media are clinging to the false notion that they are still a super bowl contender, that Wentz is still as good as everyone annointed him, and that the internal dysfunction has no effect on game day. I don't care how "desperate" they are either. Buffalo got it's wake-up call last week after coming out flat and still managed to pull out the W. They were humbled a little after being huge favorites and needing to come back to win. No one gives them or our QB credit for being 5-1 and winning in different ways. The posters on this board are a thousand times more in tune with our team than the majority of national idiots who cling to their preconceived notions That's good. I like a hungry team. I think this is a close game as usual but Buffalo will win and will come out of the gates hot. 1

Given the COMPLETE (9/11 starters) overhaul in personnel and the fact that our QB is only in his 2nd year nobody should be surprised by the inconsistency. Frankly the O is doing better then expected IMO. It moves the football; is deadly in the red zone and has had a number of epic long drives. As an aside, while I'm more optimistic then most Bill's fans, I never had this year pegged as a championship season. We're still not there yet. 1
