[QUESTION] Your Opinion On This Team Will Change Tonight If:

[Ray Stonada]

15 runs from under center

 

Keep running even if stymied

 

Throw some checkdowns to keep the D honest

 

Stop having two receivers run into each other 

 

Run a decent screen pass

 

Hit a deep ball!

 

 

 

 

[Freddie's Dead]

Like a bad porn movie review in Hustler: "Couldn't get it up with a crane."

[90sBills]

Nothing will change tonight. They can’t afford to lose another game they should win. They can’t lose this game or next week’s game if they’re going to do anything this year of significance.

[corta765]

Nope. My opinion since the defense got the plague has been they still have the ability to be a dynamic SB caliber team but it goes back to the offense finding the high points they are capable of and 17 just doing 17 things a bit more with less conservativeness. They should at least be a playoff team and anything less is total failure. They have 8 games to figure it out and at least get in the dance. 

[Don Otreply]

If we don’t take what their defense gives us all game long I will be disappointed in our coaching and our QB, and yet I will still be a Bills fan regardless of the outcome, how happy a fan depends on that outcome,😁👍

 

GO BILLS!!!

Denver just beat KC.  This is the NFL. Anything can happen. 

True on all points! What’s also true is beating the Broncos won’t change anything. Take care of business tonight and next week. Their next real test is Philly.

No game is a gimme especially with the way the Bills have been playing. That Jets defense is a pain in the ass for the Bills offense. I expect the Bills to win but that game will probably still be in doubt late the 4th quarter. Another low scoring one-score game as the previous 3 games vs them.

Fire on both sides of the ball. Fournette bowling people over, Oliver sacking Wilson twice in a row, Poyer and Douglas intercepting passes, Bernard punching the ball out, Allen jumping over a linebacker in a big F-U to the coaches, Dalton lighting up the secondary, Cook breaking a few 20-yard runs, some electric change-up plays, like a flea-flicker or jet sweep (remember those?). 

 

The team needs a catharsis. And so do we. Let out the inner Hulk!

Oh absolutely! Bills should win by double digits tonight. Next week will probably be a low scoring grinder like you said. But they have to beat the Jets after what happened in week 1. If they lose either tonight or next week I don’t want to hear how this year’s Bills is elite. 

[colin]

a strong win and not showing predictability on o and d.  also, need some kind of consistency.

I'll add passion / fire.    This team rarely looks like it's enjoying football

It just hasn't looked the same in terms of having fun the last two years.  It looked like they had fun at the beginning of the 2022 then adversity with major injuries. 

 

I think the team feeds off of Allen's energy.  This intentional low key Josh seems to make it look like they don't have the comratery or energy. If they get that back, I think they will be fine. 

 

The team strangely mirrors the fandom.  I am NOT saying the fans are responsible for this.  However it seems like many here aren't enjoying this season either.  Everyone is so doom and gloom.

Agree 100%. Need to be 7-4 heading to Philly. If the Bills get swept by the Zach Wilson led Jets then that would be embarrassing.

If they play a full game and look like the '21 Bills.....

This. Nothing positive for this week or next. If they win, so what, you played two of the worst teams in the AFC. Beat someone who matters. If they lose this week or next, five alarm fire. 

[DrDawkinstein]

Winning proves nothing in this game. It's what they SHOULD do. Just like against the Raiders and Commanders. And like the Jets and Patriots so... 🤷‍♂️

 

If they win, great. Let's see you string it together with some quality wins coming up.

 

If they lose, then they are who I think they are.

 

Congrats, McD. I barely feel like even watching this game.

We did look pretty much like this for a long stretch of '21... except we didn't just lose close ones, we got crushed by the Titans and Colts.

 

Until the second half of the Tampa Bay game. We were 7-6 after that game!

sorry, second half of '21 excluding 13 seconds.

[dorquemada]

The one thing I'd love to see is if things aren't working on offense, Dorkey changes things up OR Allen just starts calling his own plays.  At this point I don't see Dorsey as a professional level OC so I'd rather see what Josh can do for the rest of the season. Who knows, it might be good! 

[FilthyBeast]

My expectations are already at an all time low, which includes a nail in the coffin type of loss tonight that effectively ends the 2023 season.

 

But even if they win and look dominant it's not going to change anything until they can stack these type of games together again and more importantly do it against the likes of the Eagles, Chiefs, etc on the road.

[4BillsintheBurgh]

Josh runs smart.
