I can't say if I'd apply that to you or not as I haven't really looked at what you have said. So without knowing I won't comment.

In 2021 we lost two in a row just once: to New England then Tampa Bay.

 

This is 2023. We just lost to New England, and we play Tampa Bay Thursday. Uh oh.

Wash LV 🙄? Come on. Did you see the last 3 performances? That’s a football team that is not improving.

 

Bookmark this and get back to me when the season ends.

 

Look hope I’m wrong & thing’s straighten out but this is currently a bad football team.

 

We now have as many losses after 7 as we did last season. Unfortunately now the meat of the schedule is coming.

 

Convenient to leave out Miami, but whatever proves your point as you keep moving the goalpost, right?

Watching Mac “The Knife” Jones carving up the Bills was the last thing many thought possible.

 

Panic? No. Alarming? Yes.

It was a “Bradylike” performance ..
 

I’m starting to feel that they were fortunate that Danny Dimes never played against them last week 

[Budkin]

I was concerned after the last game. After today I’m officially panicking. 

[RobbRiddick]

To paraphrase Private Garlick in Good Morning Vietnam,  this team licks the sweat off a dead guy's balls.

I’m still going to cheer this team every week and hope they turn it around. This feels different to me though. I don’t think the Bills are going anywhere this year. The D is toast. The coaching staff successfully took the Superman out of Josh and the rest of the O is mostly unreliable garbage too.

I'm concerned right now. We should all be concerned.

 

Stop panicking.

 

The Bills have a worse record than they did at this point last season. They looked inept offensively in the 1st half the last 2 weeks against 2 of the worst teams in the NFL... at least by the metrics of the moment.

 

But this board has a short memory.

 

Everyone remember us rolling into the playoffs in 2021? 4 straight wins and then that historically dominant win against the Patriots before the 13 second heartbreaker. And that was the year everyone was saying "that was our year!"

 

That was also the year we started with an embarrassing and surprising loss to the Steelers, won 4 in a row and then went 3-5 in our next 8 games including disgustingly shameful losses to the Jags and Colts.

 

Buffalo was 7-6 with 4 games remaining and it was very questionable whether we'd even make the playoffs... much less look so good for a stretch of games.

 

Here we are again... except it's not as dire as 2021 because we're still so early in the year. Plus, there's really no single dominant team in the NFL. First time in years there were no undefeated teams after 6 weeks.

 

We have a loooooOOOOooonnngg way to go this season.

 

Agreed. I thought of the 21 season today.  Glad it's happening now and we can hopefully find a solution vs later in the year.

While I didn't think saying I hadn't read your opinions so I couldn't comment would hurt and confuse you so much so I didn't know if you had your head in the sand, the fact that you cannot use big boy words and communicate and instead have to respond by nothing more than an outdated and overplayed GIF tells me exactly where your head is buried.

 

And it ain't in the sand, sweetheart.

Lamo moving the goal post? Seriously? Wins vs garbage teams like Wash LV NYG and sure ONE decent W vs the Fins. Then what? We struggled mightily vs garbage as of late.  Yeah we’re trending in the right direction.

 

Sure nothing to see here, all is well. Smh

The 2021 struggles were a coaching staff who couldn’t get it together, then we lost in the divisional round with the infamous 13 seconds. I don’t take much comfort in the 2021 season, because it actually showcased our shortcomings, and maybe the ceiling for this team. 

I agree with this.  That so many Bills fans claim that season as our "Super Bowl season" feels kind of alarming to me lol.  

[LarryMadman]

Going back to last years 2 playoff games McDumbf**k has now been outcoached in 6 of his last 9 games and I don't really see things getting better anytime soon. For the talent this team has, this is just flat unacceptable, you can't make up a good enough excuse for this sh*tshow! McDumbf**k message has obviously run it's course and the locker room is in disarray, change is needed. What will TPegs do?

I'm glad some of you can ignore very obvious weaknesses while soul searching for clicks 

Great contribution to the thread. Well done

 

[Fleezoid]

Last 2 games the Bills have a total of 3 points in the first half.

The Chiefs have struggled in more than half their games this year. 

 

Watch more football.  Invest in NFL plus and go watch them against the Broncos, Jets, and Jags this year.  They just pulled out Ws in those games they slogged through.

 

How about the Bengals?

 

Watch more football.

Did the offense work back then? Did we have injuries to our best D players? Did Mac freaking Jones look like an all Pro against us? 

 

2 weeks ago I would have been with ya. This is now 3 straight with 2 being against horrible teams and key starters out and we lay an egg. You say some are panicking. I say some are burying their head in the sand.

 

The offense has been fine in the 2nd halves. In fact in the last 3 weeks they have the 2nd highest EPA/play in the NFL next to KC.

 

In their last 9 "real" 2nd half possessions they have 7 TDs, 1 missed FG, 1 TO on downs after moving 42 yards(Knox drop). 0 punts.

 

It's not quite as bad as people seem to be saying. Main issue is protection in 1st half when they can't move the ball and the D is playing decent enough and in the 2nd half the D can't get them the ball back when they go En Fuego.

 

It's correctable. They simply need to make whatever their adjustments are after 1 or 2 drives and not wait til the half.

Not to be a Negative Nancy did you take a peak at the upcoming  schedule?

 

Yep... and we beat KC and Dallas.

 

You take a look at our remaining schedule?

Mack Jones just threw almost 300 yards on us and we should just be concerned?

 

I guess I do agree. I realized in London we are a pretender and 0-1 playoff year 

 

Still think that???

The Bills are also playing the “easy” half of their schedule. After Thursday night, look out. 

 

 

 

For what??? The Buffalo Bills????

Given the upcoming schedule, injuries, & repeated poor play I highly doubt we break 500. It’s unfortunate but I haven’t seen growth over the 7 games all I’ve seen is regression.

 

 

Sooo... you don't think we win another game????

Mahomes has it locked up…6 games against raiders chargers broncos is a cheat code.  No idea what happened to those chargers and broncos defenses they have nosedived 

 

Man... coming back to threads like this with all the concrete declarations is hilarious.
