All the 6-2 start has proven is they're not a terrible team like the Jets, Dolphins, Redskins, Titans, Giants and Bengals. If your expectations for this franchise are so low that you're happy with "not terrible" in year #3 of the coach's tenure then I'm sure you're ecstatic right now. Which is cool - to each their own. Every team has flaws. Every team has up and down days. What we need is consistency in execution. We're not there yet, but we haven't lost a game to a bad team this year. We've beat them all, therefore we're not as bad as we used to be. We may not take the next step this year, but at least it won't take as many steps to get there moving forward. 1

Second, I'm going to hit each point by point: 1 - Until the Bills equally play up to an opponents level this season, it's a valid argument. 2 - We've imploded not once, but twice in the last decade. You can't expect people to forget. We do play a far easier schedule this year and it should still be considered an upset if we don't. 3 - As I just talked about in my post-game, I will continue to bash him. It's not just fans either at this point, it's columnists and the commentators in the game. He doesn't know how to string together a full game that keeps the offense in rhythm. He acts like he's calling plays for a team that can overcome major setbacks. Look at his career resume, he's never shown that he can eventually string it together. He is now exactly who he's been everywhere he's played. He always played with a defense that could bail him out with superior talent. 4 - If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. 5 - Agreed - He's playing the hand Daboll is dealing him. 6 - Disagree to a point. I've said this before that games aren't cheap and the NFL is a product. When you pay that much and are advertised a certain result, it's okay to show your displeasure when you don't get it. If you spent $300 on something based on an advertisement and didn't get it, would you be all sunshine and rainbows when returning it? Go Bills B word! ? 1 - we've had 2 chances to play up - NE and Iggles. We pooped it last week, no doubt. But I say if we had Singletary the NE game, we would have won. Anyway, 24-9 is pretty convincing in the NFL. 2 - ikr, but we are not that team. I promise! 3 - agree Daboll is an enigma but cant bash him for doing one thing and then bash him for doing the opposite. BTW, agree with pretty much all your excellent (as usual) post-game analysis. 4 - we live in a world of walls. and deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you WANT me on that wall. You NEED me on that wall! 5 - agreed agreed. 6 - as I said to Doc, I do understand in-game frustration, but man some of these hot takes are just garbage. GO BILLS!

So why do so many Bills fans act like we are a terrible football team, edging toward implosion? Some of the posts today absolutely drove me crazy. I swear some of you are Russian trolls. 1. Just stop with the "barely beating bad teams" posts. 24-9 is a convincing win. Redskins are not a good team, but that doesn't mean we are going to win by 100 points. We had many missed opportunities, but at no point were the Bills not in control of this game. The R-words never led and never scored a TD. In the end we won by more than 2 TDs. 2. We are 6-2 halfway in. 6-2 x 2 = 12-4. Maybe we drop an extra game or two, but we would have to totally implode not to earn our way to the playoffs this year. That would be the first time we EARNED our way to the playoffs this century. Think about that. 3. Haters cannot have it both ways on Daboll. He drives me nuts because he outthinks his own self doing the unexpected at the worst possible times. But here's the thing: we collectively criticized him going into this game as not pounding the rock enough. And this game, he pounded the rock … a lot, and successfully. Yet, somehow, this became a liability late in the game with lots of "stop running on 3rd and 1" posts. Gore is getting those calls and we want Singletary, I get it but at least Daboll is finally running the football! Baby steps, sheesh. 4. Last night I saw upon the stair A little man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today I hope he never goes away! 5. Still so many Allen-cant-get-it-done posts. He was 14-20, 160 yards and a TD with no INT. Those aren't great stats for fantasy football, but for NFL football it gets the job done. His job was not to score 50 points, it was to score more points than the other team. And once again, he made plays when it most mattered. And he is learning not throw INTs playing hero ball, throwing it away if he has to. And OK, I will admit he needs to hold onto the football better when he runs. But there was at least one put in Barkley post . . . SMH. 6. Booing your own team is never classy. I cant imagine it is helpful, either. Better to circle the wagons and support the team. Even online. Bottom line: By now you all know I like a good snark, and we all have fun with "any given Sunday" and "its hard to win in the NFL" tropes. But it is true that in this league, almost any team can beat almost any other team if they have a good game and/or get some lucky breaks. We won another game today, and are one win closer to earning a playoff spot. GO BILLS! Really wish I could like your post more than once! Well said!! ???? 1

What dynasties have the God-like 8-0 Patriots (whom we should have, and almost did beat) brought down this season? (Combined record of Pats opponents is 18-45 - hopefully they fall to the Ravens tonight!) Gotta agree with Joe in Hampton Roads. GO BILLSSS!!!! 17 and 2 baby!!!!! ??? . Sir, you do me a great Honor.

I’ll give them the Patriots loss but four of our wins are against the four worst teams in the league and we’ve struggled in all of them. They don’t pass the eye test (or the analytics test). Also, 14/20 for 160 isn’t good enough to win against any playoff caliber team. This team isn’t as good as their record suggests. They might make the playoffs, great, but I still don’t think they’re very good. No you're wrong. A 111.6 passer rating will win in the playoffs, the volume (yards) goes up when you throw it more. You conveniently ignored no INTs, and none in the last 3 games. Fantasy fans-jeez Edited November 3, 2019 by D. L. Hot-Flamethrower

As for Allen, can only go by what he did and they aren't asking him to do much. Not sure how much they were afraid to throw becasue of the wind. Tyrod numbers except no way Tyrod can make half the throws that Allen makes. Tyrod was afraid to throw it. Allen isn't afraid, his opportunities seem to be limited by the play calls coming in. I agree. Tyrod would throw shirt of the sticks. Josh will go for it. 57 minutes ago, Jrb1979 said: Its funny when Tyrod was here that wasn't good enough but with Allen its good enough. It is not good enough with Josh.

Wonder what the yardage was on the 2 passes that hit Brown in the hands but went incomplete? It would have at least put him over 200 yards.
Steptide Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 I'm as happy as anyone that we're 6-2. However, I don't want Allen turning into Tyrod Taylor either. The offense HAS to be better.
