Unpopular take...WE are the paper tigers

[DCOrange]

The truth is there is no real tiger this year. Buffalo is arguably the rightful favorites right now, but there isn’t a team that looks like your usual contender IMO.

yeah, the whole Bills O.  clearly they were far too tired to play a game today.  Sure hope they had fun, whatever they were doing

 

Tough crowd today, even the Spanish Inquisition reference doesn't work.

[RalphWilson'sNewWar]

The tigers are

 

Rams, Bucs, Packers, Ravens.

 

only teams with the ability to both pass AND run and defenses that can rise up and bring the intensity.

 

everyone else is some level of good but held back not being multi dimensional.

1.  We have lost to both over 500 teams we have played.  

2.   We lost to jags.  

3.  5-3 with softest schedule in league and playing back ups. 

4.   Offensive line is absolutely terrible.  

5.  Run game is embarrassing and as a result you can just play zone and not even have to worry. 

 

This is at best an average team right now.  

 

We need a shake up at oline. 

We need to make breida active. 

We need Knox back 

Find a scrub off a practice squad you play oline...

Even then.  This team is average. 

 

I pointed all this out weeks ago and it was disregarded.

 

I think this team is still good enough to make a postseason push by default because there are still plenty of equally bad games left on the schedule but let's not kid ourselves into think this team isn't going to be one and done whether they win the division or get in as a WC.

 

I actually wouldn't be surprised if this is just the beginning of a very ugly stretch where we lose really start to hit the skids and lose 4 or the next 7 or something similar. The talent just isn't there despite all unwarranted worship of this GM and HC.

In the afc yes.  Rams bucs and cards would destroy us right now. 

[Bing Bong]

Yeah but everybody in the AFC is paper tigers

Yes, the answer is yes. A scrub on a PS can most certainly be worse than Ford.

I wouldn’t bet the mortgage on that

4 man rush. 

 

1.   Pressure every play.  Let that sink in.  

 

2.   2.3 yards per carry against empty boxes.  

 

I'm sorry but I could find a dude on the street that can do better.

This I agree with but titans and ravens would whoop us right now.

We have a good defense, but this offense isn't getting us anywhere after the 1st round of the playoffs. 

Pats are only 1/2 game behind us now.

 

 

 

 

You sure we're still making the playoffs after being embarrassed by a 1-6 team, guy

[Eastport bills]

Beane and Sean should understand how this year might totally blown by their inexcusable decision to stand pat with this pathetic O-line. Now, they can't fix it and the fans,who have given these guys a pass on any scrutiny because of their record the last two years,are faced with the prospect of this great team struggling because of their stubborn reluctance to address this glaring weakness.

I'm a stickler. 

 

Steelers were not an above .500 when they beat the Bills.

We live in a world where Bobby Hart was signed off our practice squad. That should tell you all you need to know about the available OL talent out there.

Ha.  True that. 

 

It's just disappointing.  Feliciano.  Regressed.  Dawkins.  Regressed.  Williams.  Regressed. 

 

Ironically we were saying Morse should be cut but he's by far best right now

[PaoloBillsFanFromItaly]

On offense we are, no running game, 4 men, 5 men spread....

On defense we are solid.

Yup.  Issue is they can get pressure with 4.  

 

I say we put josh under center next week and let moss or whoever get a head of steam rather than running out of shotgun all the time. 

[ProcessTruster]

love how this board goes nuts after a loss... everyone just pissing all over everything..  cracks me up.   by thursday night everyone back on board.  set your watches.  

[Dr.Sack]

Agreed we are not even a good football team right now, almost entirely due to a porous OL & lack of game changing talent at RB.
