This Team WAS The Best in the NFL

[GoBills!]

This offense when calling plays right is still capable of scoring 27+ every week. Maybe the 35-10 type wins are over but 38-31 wins can still be had.

I see a lot of these sentiments today.  

 

It's how it feels today - but it's not reality.  This will STILL be a top team and be a contender for the title even if the worst is true.  Milano is a great player - but our D is deep, and strong.  

 

The offense is going to have to win games in the playoffs. They looked really bad today. Complete opposite of last week.

It’s not just Milano. It’s Jones (if he had a torn pec), and White. 
 

There just aren’t replacements for those guys.

 

Teams are going to run all over us, and dominate time of possession the rest of the year. Jones was our run D. Of course we have a chance as long as we have Allen, but I think it is significantly diminished now.

Ok. But deep enough to overcome starting CB. Starting MLB (all pro), and starting DT? Cuz that’s what we’re looking at. 
 

and don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble, but Von played but was sat out for what looked like much of the 2nd half. With all the injuries and people going down, being short everywhere, guys taking oxygen, etc. and he was nowhere to be found. So one would ask, is it because that was the plan all along? Did he feel some pain, or have hesitations? Idk. Let’s hope it’s nothing more than the general plan. 

Sure seems like an insurmountable task. You just can't lose those kind of quality starters.

It’s apparent the trainers are not doing something correctly.  

No its not.

 

Did you think we didn’t do the broken leg/torn knee ligament stretch or something?

 

These have been impact or non-contact injuries.  This isn’t on the training staff.

To know we really don’t know how good this team is when it is fully operational is the worst thing. 
Even still they can beat anyone in the league when you have 17 all things are possible. 

17 didn't carry the team today. Just saying...

I just can’t deal with going to KC again in the playoffs. My biggest concern left on this team is Dorsey. With a healthy Oline and Allen Diggs, they can can still reach the top unless Dorsey does not step it up.

The loss today was on the scoreboard was minimal, the Super Bowl ramifications, not so much. Once again, the Bills had the best team in the NFL and will have to wait yet another year to get healthy to win it all.

 

they will make the playoffs,  and maybe even win the division, but they don’t have the manpower to win the whole thing.

 

Who knows what this team looks like next year but it just sucks to know that we will never see the full capabilities of a team that I believe was the best in the NFL this year. 

 

Seems like the Bills are the only top team that suffers devastating injuries to star players every single year. It's becoming ridiculous.

Adapt and overcome. No other way. Josh Allen is good enough to take over and win games when needed.

 

D is not going from top 3 in NFL to like 27th.

 

Probably will be middle of the pack now. That's still good enough.

17 didn't do enough today. He didn't carry the team, he didn't look special, he didn't look elite, he didn't make any special plays, etc ..

 

He was pretty average today.

Nfl gods taking another dump on our faces.  Winning Super Bowls involves so much luck.  It’s never been on our side.  

No and they (he) never will. God hates this team. We're cursed. Winning regular season games becomes empty without a viable team to go all the way. After so many events you can't say "bad luck" anymore.

360 yards and 3tds not good enough for you?

I don’t say bad luck.  Just hoping for some good luck

We are five games into the season and we already have lost two of our top defensive players (White and Milano) for the year (if not longer), and maybe a third (Jones).  The defense will be negatively impacted for the rest of the season and the offense will need to be prolific to overcome these injuries.  The offense wasn't today.

Apparently the training staff needs to give every player bionic implants

Checks notes as sees he had 357 yards and 3 TDs. He can’t catch the ball for Davis and Knox and considering he was the Bills leading rusher with 23 yards. That is the definition of making a team one dimensional as Cook, Murray, and Williams didn’t get it done.

Jests fans will feel no pity for us over injuries, nor will anyone else... and that's fine.  It's only week five and as others have posted, every team will have to deal with this at some point.  I know we won't just replace White or Milano, but it is what it is.  We still have our star QB and lots of talent on this roster.  In a few weeks, we will be back to threads talking about #1 seeds and the MVP race again.

 

I don't like to go to other teams' fan forums, but was curious what Jagoff fans were posting.

 

They are most excited but lamenting that their defense, while getting it done today, isn't "elite"... and one poster wanted to point out that Ridley made clutch catches today, calling it "redemption".  Another guy asked if everyone was back on board after saying that their team sucked a couple of weeks ago.

 

Sound familiar?  This will be us again after a win against the Giants next week.  It's an up and down season and this week, we're in the valley.
