Bruce Smith Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 NE pounded this front due to the weather and we threw more than we could run and we lost. With Tampa, we need to do the opposite. We need to throw 50 times this game because we certainly cannot run on TB D. The staff got roasted for not running against NE and they likely heard it. Will the criticism make them run more? Will the coaches make this change considering the differences in both opponents? Styles makes the fight. TB is 180 degrees NE as an opponent. We need to attack them differently. Can the staff adapt? If we lose this I have a sense we'll be talking draft during playoffs because we won't be playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 A lot of ppl have this game as a loss I say.....our team is biult for good weather or a dome......so our offense is going to put points on the board 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Quint Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Slim chance we rebound after last week, IMO. I think that was the gut punch that does us in, especially if we lose to TB (who we again matchup poorly with). Expectations outweighed the reality this year, although I'm hoping that we can make it into the playoffs anyway. A postseason berth and who knows what can happen.

Tampa gets to the quarterback quite a bit better than Jags. So I am not expecting many points on the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get in the playoffs and see. You could luck out playing teams that bills match up well against or bills could get hot and go on a winning streak.

Bangarang Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I imagine Brady will have all day to throw and our defense will get picked apart. Josh will literally have to do everything on his own but we still lose in a blowout. People get super mad at Beane for investing so many resources in a defensive line that cannot get to the QB. Another week of misery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another week of misery. As long as Lenny Fournette has a pulse and his legs work, Brady won't need to pass much. This has to be a shootout and the Bills need to score A LOT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you go on a tangent and say Tampa loses games that they should win. In answer to that , I point out that Tampa has lost all of 3 games. So you are not winning any argument so far....

This marshmallow soft team will get run on for the rest of the year and keep our point scoring offense off the field. BB already faxed the blue print to the rest of the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't the Saints still reasonable talented when they faced Tampa? I think Kamara was still there and so was Jameis? We faced the corpse that was left after injuries. And WFT is actually a competitive team right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually.....you are losing horribly. I stated that the team should put up points - because they are biult like a dome team You through up some sort of unrelated arguement about their record I told you that they have lost games they should have won They literally lost to two teams we dominated....including the Washington Football Team It has NOTHING to do with their record my arguement never had anything to with their record stop acting like a mook 6 minutes ago, BillsFan130 said: If the line can hold up.
