Worst "win" I've ever seen

[Low Positive]

This one was especially bad due to the quality of the opponent, but remember this game?

Really?  You don't think any other QB could win a home game against a Giants team that scored a total of 9 points?

Idk why everyone is hung up on ‘it was the giants’…I don’t care who it was…their front 7 absolutely obliterated us to levels no other team that is supposedly way better on paper has this year.  You plug any other qb in there not named mahomes and they have absolutely no shot at making any of those drive extending plays last night.  Not sure it’s even debatable.  I mean, y’all can continue with the ‘you don’t think anyone else can score on the giants’ shtick but that is very clearly not what I meant 😂.
 

Idk if it was Daboll knowing our OL tendencies or the giants defense finally not being on the field for 45 minutes or what but they absolutely roasted us up front. Dexter Lawrence has unquestionably been a beast all season though so idk how ridiculously surprising it is 

 

there were also quite a few loooong drives for both teams in this one.  Normally the giants go instantly three and out lol we got 9 total drives in this one 

people sayin geno scored on the giants why couldn’t the bills should probably review the stat line from that game…pretty much the entire Seahawks offensive output came on one busted coverage with lock at qb…Seahawks had even less total yardage than us on two more drives.  Cowboys had less total yardage than us also in their 40-0 win if you can believe that 🤣. Dak was 13/24 for 143 yards.  They did a decent job against tua…he just cracked 300 yards but he turned it over twice.
 

The giants offense has been what is losing them games..  they have been historically awful up until

this game.  Everything snowballs for them because they are a blitz heavy team and their guys gas out when their offense goes three and out ten times in a row.  I think the Daniel jones injury really helped them out,  tyrod is the kind of qb they need.  He will not make a mistake leading to a sudden change for his defense and he’s got more mobility than jones

How about the all FG game against a 2-14 Jets team in an empty MetLife in 2020?

But that was back when this run started, and all wins felt good. Now we have expectations.

Generational talent that went to Hollywood and missed a wide open TE on a play that would have initiated victory formation.  Dorsey gets some blame here but not all of it.

The TE should have caught it, period. Not a perfect throw but hit him in the hands and a catch NFL players make routinely.

They dont call it over reaction Monday for nothing!

And the Thanksgiving game last year was an extremely ugly win, and we lost Von for the season that day.

And every year you saw teams like KC & the Pats move on to championships. Bills eh not so much.

 

We struggled last night against arguably the worst team in the league.  

Ahhh, so you see that it can be done.

 

I'm sick of stacking huge impressive wins early in the season only to come up short in the end, aren't you? It's almost refreshing to struggle offensively this early (you know, like the teams that HAVE MADE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES) have done...almost like it gives teams to recalibrate and make changes to find what works and gives other teams less of a blue print on how to stop you once fixed.

Yes, a win is a win.  There are no style points.

But I'm worried about Dorsey and the offense.  We won three games by 4 TDs.  We also won a low-scoring game to the Giants while losing low-scoring games to the Jets and Jags.   This offense has dissociative identity disorder, and I don't like some of its multiple personalities.  

 

We're not going to march through the playoffs, if we even reach the playoffs, if we don't become more consistent on offense.   I think that's why this 'ugly' win has some of the mafia bothered.

I am curious.  What is your "best" loss you can remember?

Good point, but I still can't believe it took that much to gut out a win against the worst underdogs of the year at home. If they play like that against a better offense, we get blown out.

[Bills!Win!]

How many Baltimore vs Pittsburgh games were exactly like this for 15 years. I loved watching those games that ended 15 to 11 or 9 to 7

I see you avoided the question.

 

This was like a division game where opponent knows you so well because you play so often.

But with the caveat that Daboll has inside information on the offense and Allen that nobody else in the NFL would.  That looks like it counted for something.

Only it wasn't a division game and our offense is healthy. I also didn't avoid your question. I simply conceded to your point that there really is no best loss.

Worst win would be like the Jets win in week 1. Your franchise QB is out for the season and you only win because the other team's QB has some sort of episode and gifts you it at the last moment.

Whos' feeling better about their team right now, Jets fans or Bills fans?

Dorsey has clearly been overthinking things to a detrimental point the past two weeks. When you have a generational talent like Josh, you owe it to the fans to be your absolute best every game. The Giants were the biggest underdog all season and it took an uncalled pass interference on the last play of the game to win with a healthy and dominant offense.

 

There's quite clearly a recurring issue on the offensive side of the ball, and it's not always involving the same players or unit.  That means that it's clearly a coaching issue.  What kind of a coaching issue I suppose that everyone can have their opinion on, but it seems pretty obvious to me that Dorsey's in over his head and/or he's simply not good.  22 games into his tenure these issues should not exist.  He's got more than other OCs that aren't nearly as inconsistent have to work with.

 

Then there's this blatant disconnect between McD and everything that's offensively oriented, as if to suggest that because he's "defensive-minded" that somehow it's not his responsibility, which is ridiculous.

 

I appreciate our loyalty as Bills fans, but sorry to say, this coaching staff is not anything even close to an ideal fit for the talent that the team has presently.  

 

It's going to continue to be a handicap in the playoffs.

Thurman did say the K-Gun consisted of 12 plays. It’s the speed and relentless tempo that wore teams out. Right now it seems we are snapping the ball with seconds to go on the play clock. That’s not uptempo and I think we could use that intermittently to keep defenses gassed. 

I was SCREAMING at times the last two games,  up the tempo. Semi no huddle. Force your O to play faster, up their energy. They were flat as a pancake again

I really don’t know if I’m taking crazy pills or something but it seems as simple as…pass blocking bad offense bad.  Pass blocking good offense good to me for years now lol 

 

if we hold up up front we destroy teams typically.  Idk if people don’t want to believe this or they want to blame the qb/skill position players/ play design or what but the OL was a massive issue last night to the point where who even knows what the play design is?  Everything broke down pretty much instantly.  And you’ve got skill position players in chipping to help the OL out and they’re still getting smoked so that’s limiting the route tree of one/multiple pass catchers just to not quite hold up in pass protection.

 

people are like ohhh Ben Johnson in Detroit what a genius…one of the best offensive lines.  Oh Andy Reid another genius….perennially one of the best offensive lines. Oh eagles OC from last year that I forgot the name of lol genius…one of the best offensive lines.  Games where their olines don’t hold up they look just as bad as anyone else. Look at philly and kc vs the jets this year
