That team is 8-2 . It's just ridiculous. 

 

They lucked into some injury issues with the bills/dolphins imo.  Although I guess we can’t complain about the dolphins losing  lol Vikings are a lucky 6-4 team that’s 8-2 in paper

A qb with a numb elbow that hasn’t practiced in two weeks 

A comfortable win in which the run game finally gets going and our defense is down three or four starters. 
Zero turnovers. 30 points 

 

What exactly are you guys expecting from this team. 

With the MCU as my guide, I was kinda hoping that players would have supersonic speed, that mutants would do mutant things, and that at least one of the players would be dressed in an iron costume and could take flight.  Oh yeah, and that the team doctor would get really mad, grow to an enormous size, and tear all of the seats out of Ford Field.  That would've been cool!  HAHA!

Meh. It’s a win. Nice to see we can run the ball a bit.  Otherwise, I’m not seeing a playoff juggernaut here. 

I’m not either.   But imagine this squad if everyone was healthy!

I get that. The point was a SB fave should’ve beat them up. It’s more than just one game now. 

 

     Yes it's been more than a couple games.  I rather they keep focused and not worry about the margin of victory and stats.   Running the ball to let the defense rest a bit.  They have alot of injuries maybe too many players trying to do too much?

I think this is wrong and the Bills are currently second in the division.

you are correct. but it's nice to see them move up 👍

Guess our issues stopping the run might have been overblown?

After what they dealt with all week the result was all that mattered

We were up three scores in garbage time…also I don’t like to talk about the refs but if we’re gonna nitpick what’s a blowout vs not a blowout I think it’s relevant to bring up that the one sided officiating cost us at least 7 points imo

Ugly game on both sides of the ball but a W is a W.

I think that's one of the issues.  With the team's fast start at the beginning of the season, everyone expected the Bills to coast.  Then the injuries hit...and hit again...and hit again.  To multiple key players no less.  Eventually that had to catch up to the team.  We've endured injuries to the secondary but the depth at linebacker just isn't there.  If either Milano or Edmunds are absent the Bills defense is seriously affected.  Offensively, we are woefully lacking at WR beyond Diggs particularly since Gabe Davis suddenly can't catch.  And then there's the injury to Josh.

Although the Bills weren't perfect today...they won.  Most importantly they did not turn the ball over and they didn't beat themselves.  That is huge considering the last 3 games and is a step in the right direction.

They took the points that were there for them and didn't force the issue on 4th down. Bass with 18 points was huge. Josh won't admit it but he's still hurt. Watch what he does releasing the td pass to Diggs.  A healthy Allen would never have to spin and contort his body on that short throw. Josh played smart, took the shorter stuff and zero turnovers.

A few points I wanted to chime in on.  Big C was spot on with his review IMO.

 

Even though early on Allen still struggled with accuracy, I loved that he made smart decisions with the football, took what the defense gave him, even threw it away a time or two, and most importantly, ZERO TURNOVERS.  I have to agree with several posters, he just looks uncomfortable out there at times.  Even on the sidelines, his facial expressions, his body language, just isn't the Josh we all know and love.  I'm hoping maybe it's just his elbow, and as it gets better, we see the old Josh.  Regardless, still very proud of the way he played today. 

 

The PI call on Hamlin, I hated it.  Not saying that it was completely absurd OR that it didn't happen, but Hamlin IMO made an outstanding play!  He got his head completely around, timed it perfectly...yes, he had his hand on the WR's waist, but it was incidental at best...the ref should've let that one slide...

 

C'mon Gabe.  Guy makes the freak of nature circus catches look routine, but drops the ones that hit him right in the damn hands...Josh put that pass on a dime for him and he simply botched it, again.  It's like rolling the dice with him.  

 

Again, just my humble opinion, but Cook, by the end of the regular season, WILL be our RB1.  I have little to no doubt he breaks a big one within the next three weeks. 

 

Congrats Bass on tying Steve Christie today(and yourself) with six FG's.  And not only did you nail six FG's, every doggone one of them was picture perfect.  And someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but that 56 yarder, would've been good from 66....

 

Was it a pretty win?  By no means.  Did we make Jacoby Brissett look like the love child of Tom Brady and Mike Vick? Perhaps.  We've always had this knack for every once in a while making very average QB's play the game of their life against us. And yes, our secondary looked pretty bad today.  But for everything this team had to go through this week, from essentially having no real practice, enduring a historic snowstorm and needing neighbors and fans to help get them to the airport, and having to lose a home game and scramble at the last minute.... I'm filled with nothing but pride for my team, and my city, and this win honestly is one of the most gratifying for me.  

This was the saints win from last year. Ugly, but stopped the bleeding, 

[Bills!Win!]

How many times during the drought did we complain about our team when scoring 30+ points In a win? Unreal times we live in 😂

Expectations can indeed change 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

If we are going to run the ball well, it’s going to make us very hard to beat. I was pleased with things I saw from the offense. Very concerned about the defense. Need that fixed now 

[RichRiderBills]

I'll add this; for as much crap as we are giving the pass D, they regularly had solid coverage and Brisette made amazing throws w amazing catches by WRs.

Yeah it's pretty funny...7 consecutive scoring drives but it's not good enough.

Back from the Game..a couple thoughts.
 

I found The indoor atmosphere with Bills Mafia a much better experience than watching a Lions Game.  I always felt the Lions games came across pretty quiet but it was Loud today. Very comfortable to be sitting in November and just sit back not freezing my butt off. It could have worked. Talked to lots of people who made the trek with families. It was awesome! 
 

Went into the stadium at 11:00. Allen did not come out for pregame warmups. Diggs and Makenzie spent time throwing balls with the Fans.

 

Hines is Fast..he kicked it into a different gear one return like really fast.. Returns should be his job from here on out.

Josh had the biggest smile coming to the bench after winning the coin toss.!

 

The first quarter it seemed Cleveland could do anything they wanted. There were a lot of open players running around and Cleveland missed on a few as well. Why is it that opposing Receivers are making some spectacular catches against us for points and Davis continues to leave some big plays on the field with drops. 

 

Singletary and Cook looked Good running. We need that balance. 

 

Josh and Joe Brady are tied to the hip all game. They kind of sit off on their own bench and I  didn’t see much interaction between Josh and Wr while the D is on the field.  He was visibly pissed after one series… plays running through McKenzie seem to be a mess
 

I worry Spencer Brown is going to get Josh Killed.

 

Despite the rough start, we seemed to pick it up before half. Adjustments were good and we settled in. At the end of the day we still put up 30 points and today that wins a lot of games.

 

We need to get healthy at some point??

 

Milano is a beast out there .
