Worst loss of week 1 - POLL

[Dan Darragh]

Whose fans should be most apoplectic after week 1?

[BuffaloButt]

Which team should be most worried about their WIN??  

 

A: Jets (Playoff hopes just ended)!

[Rc2catch]

I went with the giants. I would put the chargers next and then probably Buffalo. 

[Simon]

No Tennessee?

Or is that because they don't really have fans?

[Dr.Sack]

I chose Buffalo because Allen looked like the worst QB of week 1 who reverted to 2018 Josh. At least 2019 kept the TOs to a minimum. 

[John from Riverside]

I mean, I don’t like losing so it’s gotta be the Jets

[Einstein]

The Bengals, in my opinion.

They were steamrolled by a remarkably average (though solid) Browns team.

 

We lost to the best defense in the NFL because our QB switched brains with Nathan Peterman.

They have fans, they just know they're screwed for the next decade or so. Hence the silence

Titans fans have no reason to be apoplectic, they had no reason for expectations.

 

And the Home Run Throwback.

Whoever loses week 2.

The Giants are just bad and fans didn't have realistic superbowl aspirations.  Buffalo has a philosophy problem.

[Alphadawg7]

Lol Bills loss is no where near as bad as Giants and Bengals were who combined for 3 points.  Giants looked like they were playing a scrimmage and Bengals and Burrow just crapped the bed after over paying him.  

 

Allen had a bad game, one of his worst in terms of decisions, but Bills still had a chance to win this game.  The other teams were never in the game at all and got utterly manhandled by their divisional rivals.  

[GunnerBill]

Between the Giants and the Bills. The Giants because they were not competitive at all. Didn't deserve to be on the same field as the Cowboys.

 

The Bills because this isn't some isolated bad night for Josh. It was the worst it has been but some of these issues we saw in the pre-season game at Pittsburgh. We saw in the Bengal game. We saw in the Miami playoff game and we saw at times down the stretch last season. At the end of 2022 I was thinking "well his line is terrible" and "the elbow isn't 100%" then in pre-season I was saying "just pre-season doesn't wanna get hit" but last night there were no excuses. I thought the line held up okay under stress. He had enough around him in terms of skill guys and he looked as bad as ever. Dorsey can be part of this conversation too but ultimately I think it is just decision making on Josh's part. And it has been happening for a while.

Did you watch? This team rallied around Wilson. They are more than capable of doing this to us again.

Some serious denial right here.

Burrow missed a lot of the preseason which does matter.  Their defense played pretty well.  Burrow is 1 - 5 against the Brown's.  Some teams just match up better.

[K D]

Burrow was injured and was rushed back. What's Josh's excuse? CTE?

Yup. Burrow was hobbled in a rain storm and has more cachet than Allen to excuse it. Allen’s performance is far more concerning.

our QB may not have a brain to switch with anyone.  He looks the same as he has every year sans 2021.  He cannot read a defense, cannot slide, continues to throw "hero ball" into triple coverage when there is zero reason to do so, and abandons what the D is giving him.  He is MILES behind Mahomes and Burrow at this point.  He pulled this same garbage against the Jets and Minn last season, and in the Bengals playoff loss.  He is the epitome of a "dumb jock" at this point.

JA excuse is stubbornness and laziness?

this, exactly.  

 

JA has failed to improve.  If this is his ceiling, it's simply not good enough.

With that defense? Don’t be so sure 

They are tied for first in the afce

[Buffalo Boy]

Giants

Daniel Jones is who we thought he was . 

Then Steelers
Bengals, Chiefs and Bills will be fine.
