How are we supposed to feel about this win??

[Max Fischer]

Scored 31 points on a tough Carolina defense. Some will point out a few short fields but the offense, despite three OL out of place, still had a decent day. I thought the defense played well. However, our punter is getting worse. 

[GoBills808]

I always feel good when the Bills win

 

Imo if you don’t you might want to consider why you’re watching in the first place

[nedboy7]

Seems to me running the ball helps the OL.  So why aren’t we running more? 

[LittleSammy]

Let's take the win and move on. Need to figure out how to give Brown some help next week. You know Belichick was licking his chops watching him today.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

You feel happy and move onto the Patriots.

 

Today was all about getting a win however we had to get it.

 

Stop the bleeding.

Does it? They still got killed in pass pro all day

You don’t want them running the ball more?  It sure seems to help them gain confidence. The pass protection is non existent. I don’t recall in the past linemen just running thru the line like it wasn’t there. It’s quite dysfunctional.

5-10 years ago it would have felt very good this win.  I still recall in 2012 the Bills losing to a 5-7 NFC opponent at home (the Rams) which ended the season.  That stung.

 

 

But you know rightfully so fans expectations are higher now.  So yeah the win feels good.  But the ultimate goal is higher.  

 

 

If the Bills play like they did today next week will they beat NE?  I'll leave that up to you to answer.  But to me that's what I'm looking for 

[nedboy7]

Good win yea. But each week I feel worse about the OL.  I guess I fool myself into believing we can turn it around. At least we ran the ball today 

[ALLEN1QB]

 not very good will not beat New England next week probably will not make the playoffs

We ran it 24 times tonight with Singletary, Brieda and McKenzie, some of that was at the end of the game running clock, so I would think that is about right. I'd be aiming for about 15-20 running back runs per game. Just enough to keep defenses honest but this team will love or die on Josh Allen's arm and so it should.

lol/wtf

[Royale with Cheese]

We put up 31 on the #2 ranked defense and 9th in scoring defense.

This is with Spencer Brown killing us.

[MiltonWaddams]

It’s a win. When your team wins, the correct response is to be happy. The incorrect response is to not be happy. Wait until next week and be unhappy if they lose. It’s much healthier to be happy. I’m going to go with being happy.

Let’s hope that we don’t have to worry about seeing Brown next week at left tackle. Doyle even looked better in his few snaps. 

[VirginiaMike]

I feel good every time the Bills win!

Happy they won? Worried at the lack of confidence in the offensive play calling? Disturbed by the ease they moved the ball on us? Upset by the lack of discipline penalties? What does this game tell us about the rest of the season?

Come on fellow Granite Stater…..feel 👍

Feel good Promo.  We won.  We had  4 OL positions with different players in them, including 2 starters out of the game.  We played a strong defense.  That accounted for most of the penalties and sacks.  
 

Our defense was fine. We aren’t going to stop every drive, that is not realistic 

 

The Pats* have vulnerabilities too.  Worry next week if they are not healthier and better. 

[BillsFanSD]

The Bills got a nice, workmanlike win over an overmatched opponent.  Nothing to celebrate, but nothing to feel bad about either.  Next week's game is huge.

 

No clue why some of you follow this team if you're going to get upset over easy double-digit wins.
