[ALLinALLEN]

Evans and Godwin scare me....they will feast on our soft coverage if the DL doesnt get pressure. Not feeling great about this one.

Godwin, Mayfied and Vea were all DNP estimations for Monday

Here we go again...WHY DO THESE LIVE PRESS CONFERENCES ALWAYS CUT OFF THE ANSWER TO QUESTIONS? Comes back on so you can hear the question but then once McD starts answering them, it cuts off and goes silent.  WTF is the purpose of even broadcasting them live then?? Just wait until  it's over so you can fix the audio on both ends.

As a Bills fan , if you’re not feeling good about this one you have to wonder if they can beat a team in the league. That’s what the Bucs are right now - a team in the league. If that’s the case then the entire thing needs to be restarted from scratch . I don’t think Bills fans should be at that point yet.

This honestly has loss and 4-4 written all over it. I hope I am seriously wrong but the amount of finger pointing on this board is probably even worse in the locker room right now.  How they respond on Thursday night is going to tell you pretty much how the rest of the season might go. 

A comfortable win they hit the reset button

 

A close win every game is going to be a grind

 

A loss of any kind and this team is officially done and the season is going off the rails by Halloween.

 

For those of us who remember this board before 2018 the last one was the way our season usually went so might get a little nostalgic they tuck away Josh on IR with his shoulder let Kyle Allen lose every game and comeback in the off season with a top ten pick.

Look no farther than the last 3 games, 2 against some of the worst teams in the league!  The Bucs are better than the giants and their backup qb and the Pats

Care to explain WHY you think this game has L and 4-4 written all over it other than ptsd?

They may be marginally better, but they’ve scored 6 vs DET and 13 vs ATL in their last 2 games . Both losses. They’re 3-3 overall with a point differential of -1 . The Bucs are a team in the league - a neighborhood the Bills lived in for 17 years. If you can’t see the Bills winning this game or don’t feel confident about it , then you don’t think the Bills can win a game in the league. Simple as that. You may or may not be at that point , but I’m not there yet. If that’s the reality, then it’s time for a complete overhaul from the Coaching staff on down. Not even saying they will make the playoffs or anything else, but I think the Bills can still win an NFL game. Maybe I’m wrong , but we’ll see.

2nd ranked offense in what and according to whom?

[HopelessNJBuffaloFan]

Another loss coming that i will not even listen to WGR or watch a second of or lose sleep over. Losing 4 Super Bowls moved me away from watching any football for a long long time. 13 seconds and this team ineptness are going to do the same. 

[Success]

Maybe I'm reading the board too much - but it just seems like there is a malaise over this team right now.  Even in their pressers, they seem a little lost, and kind of frustrated in their inability to identify and fix the problems we have.

 

I'm starting to worry that it could spiral.  Energy can really feed off itself - good, or bad.  Right now it's bad.

 

Such a big game Thursday.  Never would have thought the TNF Bucs game would be the one to circle as season-defining, but our backs are truly against the wall right now.

Mike evans is going to make congested catch after congested catch over our soft / handsy - get called for penalty / physically inferior DBs 

 

I would venture that given The giants and pats backup OL completely can manhandle our front 7. That any teams starters will also manhandle us against the run.

 

bowles will make Allen uncomfortable early. Which is apparently enough for him to look like dog crapp the rest of the game. Dial up PRESSURE, PRESSURE, BLITZES. Our OL can’t handle it. Neither can our qb

Yup . They know the window is closed. They know they are flawed. Coaches and players. They know they are further away from 13 seconds team and closer to the above average team who will get steam rolled by teams like cincy. 
 

I NEVER. Take anything from pressers. But when Allen said “things may look bleak” I was like oh FFS this team and this qb are mentally f’d. Soft. They’re lost

From memory, the 2021 game felt like it was "all or nothing" as well. A miserable first half performance and the season felt over. Even though the game ended in defeat, the second half performance seemed to kickstart something which carried the Bills through to 13 seconds.

 

It's a week to week league, and I wouldn't be surprised by any result.

[Gregg]

Usually, I am not one to put much stock into scoring first. But given the past 2 weeks I think it's very important for the offense to start quick. A 7-0 lead early in the first quarter and then go from there. It will help their confidence. If they fall behind again and its looking like the Giants/Pats games, then it could snowball into 4-4. This message board will go nuclear if that happens.

Don't think it will get any worse than this. Most seem prepared for defeat against the Bucs, and the nature of the posting will follow. No one expected the hideous performance (at stages, on all sides of the ball) against the Pats.

They seem to be much better than New England and New York.  

 

If teams can just line up and dictate the game up front by running straight ahead with two terrible quarterbacks, teams with excellent weapons like evans are going to be able to score more.  

 

hopefully the offense gets going and with a lead the Bucs will have to throw more and the crowd will help the Defense play better.  I feel like we have to see this group of guys play well on defense before I will believe it.  If Taylor and Jones can play the way they did against this team I am really concerned what is going to happen when they play actually talented offenses.
