Bills vs Jags Postgame thread

[AZSanta]

If Milano is out for the season, like it is looking, I'd like to see Beane go get a premiere middle linebacker via trade, I don't care if it cost a number 1 next year, losing Milano was huge. Not to mention Tre last week. Our offense is fine. Defense needs to continue playing the way it has been. Get it done Beane. Superbowl or Bust for us this year.

100%.
 

I don’t understand any hesitancy to tossing next years 1st to get that done. The draft is such a crap shoot (ELAM). Go get a guy that can come close to Milano.

Just go and pick one up off the shelf and somehow squeeze them into our cap situation, like magic. We're probably not doing that, Milano should be back next year whatever the news we get is, we're more likely to try and work with the depth we've got or bring in a low rent vet. I mean the LB we drafted this year only really got reps at the same spot as Milano.

It’s not Magic, no. But it’s why Beane collects a paycheck, to figure it out. And he’s good at it. 
 

It all depends how long we think this “window” stays open. We had a world class defense. Milano was SO important to that that we aren’t anymore. We are very good. But unless we find help at LB and in the secondary, we’ll be lucky if the week 18 Miami game is even meaningful.

Great Milano is out among others from injuries due to awful turf. I'd say it's class action time against the league but the owners are a bunch of pricks.

I blame myself. As a UK Bills fan of 35 years, I remember seeing the 1990 London game (which the Bills won). I've been over to Buffalo 6 times and the Bills have won every game I've seen. The only time I'd seen the Bills lose was 8 years ago when I took my family to see the Jags game. Today I took my family to see the Jags game - and we lost. Next time my family stays at home!

Milano isn't a MLB.

Sounds good… who exactly has a premium LB they want to trade ???

I don't know what the Broncos have but I read they'll listen to trade offers for any player on their defense.  I know their defense hasn't been very good but maybe they have some one that could help us?

Probably have to wait until some team racks up a few more losses

Got a feeling there’s going to be much more drama off the field in regards to Pegula’s past statements and sentiments then there is attention to the team.  Whether or not Kim had a prenup or has one and if she can regain the team control as she’s been the major contributing factors towards the teams success.  Think the cardiac episode is from when this first slowly started making the rounds and she realized what she married.  

 

September 12th just called. It would like it's thread back.

NOW we know who to blame for that loss eight years ago!  Just make sure you leave the unlucky family at the house, go to the rest of this season's games, and we'll be good.

I think you can see what Dorian Williams can do for the next few weeks before you make a move. He looked decent out there today. 
 

Get closer to the deadline and see what help you may need. What you have depth wise may be solid enough and your resources can be spent elsewhere

Hopefully Poona can step up. Gonna need him with Jones down.   

After losses

 

its the officiating

its the play calling

its the field

Its the unfair advantage 

it’s the injuries

ita the sports science 

 

 

after wins

allen is MVP

this team can’t lose

i can’t believe how much all the other teams suck. 

[Billzgobowlin]

The silly thing is this was one of our home games and we lost it to fly to London

The London thing was/is a legitimate thing to mention about this game. It has never happened (a team playing in London against a team playing back to back weeks in London) to any team before so it is a valid part of the analysis of this game. 
 

That being said fans overreacting to games is a huge part of team message boards. If it weren’t for the Jones/Milano injuries this game wouldn’t be a big deal in my opinion.

You forget the same 10 or so who blame Allen for it not being a sunny day. After every loss regardless of how many drops it’s Allen’s fault.

There should be plenty of car panthers available.

As much as I think the Brits are welcoming hosts, these "home" games are such a disadvantage for our team with travel and time adjustments.

This team has more than enough injuries. Tough this year with Tre and then Milano both gone for the year, but it is still early in the season and a chance for others to step up. Poona was brought in to rotate with Jones so we will see what he has left in the tank.

Elam looked shakey in coverage and Hyde is sufficient as a safety, but should not be playing man against speedsters. 

Deep breath and curse the NFL schedule-makers and life goes on folks. I thought  Josh played a decent game, but the penalties were ridiculously slanted and not in our favor during the game snuffing so many of our drives. Hard to get anything going when the hankies fly like that.
