saundena Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) This game just felt like a loss going into it. Maybe that's because I'm a beaten down fan, but I just knew in my bones we wouldn't win this game. Every time we start out hot, we have one of these types of games. McDermott did not have our team prepared to play today, but the good news is that I expect that he'll fix what's wrong from a sloppiness standpoint. He has to because we looked totally unprepared and unmotivated. Then again, it was a weird week. I'm sure that factored into the situation Josh reverted back, but again that is correctable and I think his new norm is closer to what he played like in the other 4 games. He got no help early (drops) and the injuries didnt help. He ends as a top 7 qb this year. Our defense is a problem. After 5 games we still look like Pop Warner. Part of that I think is injuries. Part is scheme, but I think Frazer and McD will right the shop- we have the talent and the the time to be a top 10 unit. Bottom line, some days nothing goes right and I think this was one of those games. Not surprising considering what happened leading up to this game Edited October 14, 2020 by saundena 1

Just disappointed how unprepared and terrible we were. 2

Yep The number of unforced errors is actually staggering when you think about them. And they came in every facet of the Game and came from every position group. The only highlights : The punter and place kicker. 1
Jpsredemption Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 The sky will be falling next Tuesday. 4-2 with Pats and Phins nipping at our heels.
first_and_ten Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 The Bills are going nowhere with that sorry defense!!! 1

You mean the punter who can't remember to turn the laces away from the kicker on FG and Extra Points? 1

Terribly unprepared! We are a better than what we showed tonight, injuries aside. The sloppiness and lack of enthusiasm were damning. This should have been a 3 point game
dubs Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I honestly felt like they would lose going in. the change in schedule and uncertainty and having to go on the road is a lot. These guys aren’t robots and as much as you’d like them to just be able to turn it on, it doesn’t always work that way. They are human. dont think there’s ever been a time in any of their careers where the morning of the game there was uncertainty if the game would even happen, and on a Tuesday?!?

I mean completely in, with no attempt whatsoever to spin the ball. I can't ever remember seeing laces in like that in any other NFL game I've ever watched.
Rc2catch Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 I always find it entertaining how high and cocky fans get, and then how low they fall after a loss. Tennessee was never giving us an easy win. They’re a scrappy team. We obviously didn’t show up, and maybe we needed that embarrassment to get it together 1

I was at work till half time and didn’t catch that but heard the 74 yard punt.
Success Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Still 1st place in the AFC East. If I can still say that at the beginning of January, who cares. 1

Teams that have taken a step, or are going to have a great season, just don't do what they did tonight. Hard truths: No MVP for Allen, no COY for McDermott, and likely no AFCE crown. Yep. Not all losses are the same. This loss was a warning lights big time on the dash type loss. Basically showed if Allen isn’t perfect they can’t win and any mistake cost them dearly. I’m actually not super down on Josh as much as the rest of the team to not pick themselves up especially the D. Turnovers happen how you respond matters. We responded by allowing TD after TD 1
