The Big Picture

[78thealltimegreat]

  I don’t know what it is with the Bills and heartbreaking losses right before the week off…but at the beginning of the year most of us thought 4-2 or 5-1 was right about where we’d be with maybe swapping out a loss at Miami for a loss to Pitt at home and maybe splitting these two…

   No team in the league has an easier schedule from this point further as we only play 1 team with a winning record for the rest of the season and that’s the Bucs in December 

  So we have some things to work on and we lost a tough one but all our goals are still well within range

Playing mostly league lightweights all year sets the Bills up for loses like today. How playoff ready are the Bills going to be when 90% of their wins are against losing teams? Plus you don't win a Super Bowl with no actual productive running backs. Cut Breida and bring in Todd Gurley. He was a bruiser just 2 years ago, and he's only 27. There is nothing to lose. What's Brieda doing? If the Bills don't find a running game, this season is mostly a mirage.

Its not like the Bills can just schedule whoever they want and chose to schedule a Div 1 AA school for homecoming and several lower conference schools on their schedule

It doesn’t matter, we are way to 1 dimensional and loss the point of attacks all to often. We need to invest more into the lines.

There's a reason a 27 year old is a free agent, his knees are gone.

We are NOT one dimensional.  It happens that the Titans D line is good against the run, and their secondary is all injured, so passing tonight was the better choice.  Against other teams, the Bills have run about as well as most teams (not as well as the Titans or Browns).

Gurley has two arthritic knees, that’s maybe one (or two?) reasons the Bills (or any other team) isn’t bringing him in.

 

yeah, a running game. Like that stellar running game they had last year when they were one game from the super bowl. 🤔

You can’t just schedule teams it’s not college what do you want the bills to do petition the league so they can create their own schedule?

Invest more into the DL?! Lord we have made tons of investment here, Beane has not done well drafting or in FA, lots of marginal players at best at the moment.

 

 Now OL I agree, run blocking is god awful and it seems pass blocking has regressed from last year. 

[RobbRiddicksTDLeap]

You’re right. 
 

Big picture is clearly painted. Get better, stay focused, and win the games. 
 

Henry is a unique player. It’s not like he hasn’t done this to every team the Titans have played. The Defense is still very good. The offense is still very good. Coaching is still very good. 
 

But they can do better, and they know that. And that’s what's so great about this team.

I know we'll bounce back and probably be 8-2 heading to New Orleans.  But I'm just so sick and tired of losing to that F ing dead bud adams organization. And d-bag vrabel trying another music city bs. Our trenches picked a bad night to crap the bed. Do we really have enough of a running game to win a SB? ???

You don’t needs a Running game in todays NFL. 
 

also you play who is in front of you. Holy ***** 4-2 going into Bye and still going to the playoffs and people around here hanging off the ledge. 

 

Gurley Really???

 

EVERYTIME Bills had Josh Hand off it was a win for Tenn without the play even being snapped.

Marlon Mack can still be acquired via trade with Indy.  He is clearly their #2 behind Taylor.
