The Bills are off to their best start since 1993, but there is no euphoria among the players or coaching staff. And people are still asking: Are the Bills as good as their record indicates? After allowing 218 rushing yards in last week’s 31-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Bills gave up 127 yards on the ground to the Redskins, with most of the big gains coming from veteran Adrian Peterson, who rolled up 101 yards on just 10 carries in the first half for an average of better than 10 yards a carry. The Bills tightened things up in the second half. It’s not as if the offense has figured things out because Allen has now gone two straight games throwing for fewer than 200 yards. Against the Eagles, Allen threw for 169 yards and against the Redskins he was held to 160 yards in the air. But Cole Beasley seems to be less of a factor all the time, although his role is being masked because he caught a TD pass for the third straight game, which is the first time that has happened in Buffalo since Charles Clay in 2016. Beasley continues to run great routes and he’s a great possession receiver. But against the Redskins, Beasley was targeted only twice and caught both passes for only 13 yards – his lowest totals of the season. He has not caught more than four passes in a game since the loss to New England in Week 4, when he hauled in seven passes for 75 yards. This is not why you signed the former Dallas Cowboys receiver to a four-year, $29 million contract in the off-season. Unless he is hiding an injury, Beasley has to be more involved in the offense. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/curtisrush/2019/11/03/buffalo-bills-might-be-most-flawed-6-2-team-youve-ever-seen/amp/ Edited November 5, 2019 by Hapless Bills Fan clarify that language is quoted from article 2
Big Turk Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Who cares. They are likely making the playoffs and have the 3rd most cap space in the NFL next year behind the Dolphins and Colts. Insiders claim next year is when the team really thought it was "go time" and this would be a transition year. But, buoyed by one of the easiest schedules in NFL history they should coast to the 5th seed in the AFC with little competition. This is the dumb stuff media talks about. At the end of the year nobody remembers what your schedule looked like, they only remember what your final record was, if you made the playoffs or not and what happened when you got there.

Kangaxx Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Josh Allen wasn't "held" to 160 yards. He could've easily had more, but didn't due to play calling. Maybe these reporters should watch the games. 15 2 2
Dopey Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 I predicted this week would be 1/2 as bad as last week on TBD. I was wrong. 6
GoBills808 Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Of all the reasons why the Bills are a flawed team, Cole Beasley's production is so far down on the list I can't even fathom the rationale behind turning that kindergarten doodle of an article into a post. 4 6
thebandit27 Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Hopefully they'll end up the worst Super Bowl Championship team ever. 10 4 9 14

Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 This is crazy. Josh was top 3 in passing yards for Allens. 1 8
BillsDude Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Beasley cannot help it he was blown off his routes the last two games. 1
Luka Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Lamar threw for 163 yards last night and everyone is slobbering all over him. 143 in the loss to the Seahawks. 161 and 3 picks against the Steelers. It's just funny to me the opposite reactions to similar performances by Jackson and Allen on teams that are both 6-2. Jackson is the next coming of Jesus Christ and Allen is a bust yet both are dual threat QBs, Allen being the better passer, Jackson the better runner. 11 1

But muh emotions! Seriously though. The media lives or dies by generating clicks and the more they can rile up people and get a reaction the better and nothing evokes reactions quite like hyperbole. Next year there will be a similar article about another 6-2 team. 2
Prickly Pete Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Most of the media beat up on the Bills in the off-season...Some of this is they don't want to admit they were wrong, and missed the fact that the Bills have gotten better. They wanted to talk about the Jets, and Browns being on the rise instead.
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 How many flaws does this team really have? The run defense? Punter? Let’s not act like this team is completely lost out there 2
Mojo44 Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Alan only passed for 160 yards because for 2 quarters of the game they were going against a strong wind. Same for the Skins. 1
Prickly Pete Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 Considering the offensive talent, they are doing pretty well, and getting the most out of (at best) second tier weapons, and a second year, small school QB. Can't wait til they find a real top notch receiving threat.... hopefully next year.
