That was horrific to watch. 

 

A completely depleted patriot team takes us down to the wire could have easily won that.

 

Watching our defense is killing me inside.

 

Every offensive line we play against is better than our offensive line. Glad to have Feliciano back...but my god we need more talent.

Kudos to you for being stoked about this team. I’m jealous. Wished I could say the same.

 

My eyes tell me this team is a joke and isn’t going anywhere.

A joke? good lord dude..... theres a joke in your post, but it isnt the team.

 

Being 6-2 and just under the elite teams in the conference is anything but a joke of a team. get ahold of yourself. geez.

We got lucky and barely beat New England’s practice squad.

 

This Bills team isn’t very good.

 

Miami killed the Rams and Cinci whooped the Titans.

 

Are the Rams and Titans bad teams, too?

[Hampton Josh fan]

The one thing I felt good about was the return of Feliciano. What a nasty ,hard nosed run blocker. A versatile performer who came in and played center and we didn't miss a beat. The offence is starting to be hard to defend. Running for over 200 yds is a big deal.

Right? i seriously wonder if this board is made up of the middle schoolers that havnt seen how the NFL works for many years.

 

week to week league. comparing margin of victories and who beat who is usually really foolish. 

 

bottom line is we drew up a DESPERATE team with the GOAT coaching for his season and a QB playing for his reputation. Thats probably the most inspired effort that team has had and will have all year. We weathered it and won. onward and upward.

I was bumming for most of the game.  But when I saw that ball on the carpet and Marlowe recover it, I was screaming FFFFFFFUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBLLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!, jumping off the couch and then screaming BILLLLLLLSSSSSSS BALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!  You can't fake that, it comes from the gut.  So I was ecstatic about the win.  It was ugly, but we got it.  Does any Cheat fan really remember that McGahee didn't know it was 4th down, that Leodis fumbled, or that TJumptomakeacatch Graham ran the wrong route on the goal line?  No, they're just 3 more W's to them, while those three losses eat at our soul.  So I'll take the win, and let the loss eat at the Cheats fans souls for a change.

[GunnerBill]

I don't think this team is a joke. But I do think it is further way than I hoped and that is disappointing and frustrating and I can understand why some fans are venting a bit today. 

 

The teardown this regime did was a choice. It wasn't the only option. It was, in my view, the best option but they could have gone about it other ways. When you commit to the teardown and rebuild the expectation, I would argue legitimately, is that what you have rebuilt is a contender. And if it is not but that is because you haven't found the right Quarterback then you get a bit of a pass. They tore down a team that was average with the wrong QB and built one that is only better than average because it has the right QB. 

 

That does not equate to "fire everyone" or "blow it up" but it does mean for me that if this season ends with what feels right now like the inevitable early playoff exit then there needs to be some urgency about how they approach the team building in the offseason. And Brandon Beane needs to earn the reputation some have already bestowed upon him.

I’m just going to try and enjoy the rest of the season. This team seems to be transitioning into the top 10 zone but still has work to do. I feel like we have the offense to keep up with the high octane teams. Who knows, maybe guys get healthy and this team gels at just the right time.

Haha the same. I was on my feet pointing in the Bills direction and screaming BILLS BALL, BILLS BALL!! Followed by anxious look at the clock to check we could win with kneel downs.

[dpberr]

Happy the Bills are winning games they should against inferior opponents.

 

McDermott, however, doesn't inspire confidence and comfort from this fan's perspective.  

 

I do think a lot of the issues are coaching related - going back to the wild card game last year.  The coaching staff has no desire to blow teams out, and they are too confident in their collective genius.  This makes games far more competitive than they should be.

 

Have to play nasty and keep the foot on the gas.

Defense is so uninspiring.   
 

Hard to get excited for the playoff run.

i woke up this morning and smiled thinking about how the Pats lost and what it was doing to those fans..... my god, we've dealt with so many of those losses.

Your thoughts?

 

 

Very happy to hold on and win. In the past, Belichick teams would find a way to win such games

Definitely concerned about the DL, maybe less so about the OL after Mongo's return. Hence, am tempering expectations about how far this team can go. However, we should win at least 1, maybe 2 playoff games.

Don't get ahead of yourself.  We haven't made a playoff run yet.

I feel pretty happy sitting at 6-2 and in control of the Division.

Agree - BUT - he wasn't there and the Bills ARE 6-2

Can't wait to ***** up the squawks next weekend

[Rc2catch]

I’m of the thinking being hot right now is not as important as being hot at the end of December. So I’m extremely happy given our situation. 
I can understand people’s frustrations over the defense and the offense taking a step back. What I don’t understand is this happens with every team almost every year. 
16 games of amazing offense doesn’t always equal super bowl trophy. (Ask Baltimore last year) 
16 games of dominant defense doesn’t equal super bowl trophy. (Ask tons of teams the past few years) 
You just need to click and get hot at the right time. We have been a little spoiled the last few years, McDermott’s teams have outplayed their talent level and exceeded expectations. Now we are not playing to our talent level and rarely meeting fans expectations. Our only concern should be getting to the playoffs healthy while continuing to either work on or mask our weaknesses. We’re not doomed. The defense we’ve seen so far does not have to be the defense we see come playoff time. You can hope for better and cheer them on, or you can be critical non stop that you KNOW what the future holds. 
There’s lots of options to have fun over this and have great discussion. But being 6-2 and having a “joke of a coach” is silly. Lot of teams would kill to have our current situation.

we saw cam newton cry.  he's a pat.  we saw a pat cry after the bills beat them.  that's worth something to me.

[papazoid]

even though  we are likely division champs....it still feels like a wild card team.
