Missed FG, XP And dropped Td by #13 or we score 30+ coaching sucked, officiating sucked, Bass is probably gone 1 2 Quote

Expand Yeah. Imagine being a Jets fan. Thought both Kincaid and Shakir looked silky and in charge tonight on every touch but are still just getting low action. Maybe that changes? Kincaid looks like big Cooper Kupp out there and I won’t back off this until he explodes. That one early catch and run was explosive af for a TE 1 Quote
TFBillsfan Posted October 15 Posted October 15 4-2 is huge after the past two losses. Still lots of concerns for me. HC, WR, S and K all need to SIGNIFICANTLY improve! 1 2 Quote

DuckyBoys Posted October 15 Posted October 15 yeah 4-2 is good but this team is not Lot of holes on the roster and McDermott/Bass cant be trusted in close games We can get on a run with some very winnable games but these issues will still be there 1 Quote

kkim0904 Posted October 15 Posted October 15 I think we will go 7 - 4 on the remaining games and will finish 11 - 6. 1 Quote
Bookie Man Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Titans, Hawks, Dolphins, Colts coming up. Need to be at least 7-3 after that. Schedule has a tough stretch after that. KC, SF, LAR, DET. Quote
Bills aPHILLYate Posted October 15 Posted October 15 And there's still a chance to rescue Cooper and improve our team at a low cost... But this was a gut check game and despite the refs not doing us any favors, injuries and other adversities; I think we showed something this game. Not certain what to do about the kicker situation but I'm still high on this team as the season progresses and we may show to be an even better team in the second half of the season and make a legit run Quote
Solomon Grundy Posted October 15 Posted October 15 Coaching cost us the Texans game and almost cost us this game. Should be 5-1 1 1 2 Quote

The Texans loss is frustrating due to the last O series. The Ravens game was the one that was bad...just smashed us. All things considered glad we are where we are. Expand To the bolded, I think that's a bit of an oversimplification. The Kincaid drop on 3rd down on the first drive was a big drop... then the disastrous attempted trick play... and Bass' missed field goal. Any 1 of those plays change the complexion of that game. All 3 went against the Bills. I'd love to play the Ravens in the postseason. On 10/15/2024 at 3:43 AM, Shortchaz said: The defense is going to have to grow into something special if this team is going to make noise in the playoffs Expand Hopefully Oliver, Milano, and Miller are added to the current group. I'm really glad that Dorian and several other young players have received lots of live game experience. That's an intangible investment that could payoff later on this year. On 10/15/2024 at 3:53 AM, Wizard said: We have a tough stretch with San Francisco, Seattle, Chiefs, and Lions in November. This will shed a lot of light on how we do against solid teams as Ravens and Houston are playoff bound teams. Not a bad start for sure, but our wins are against Cardinals, Dolphins, Jags, and Jets. Hopeful for growth and more consistent play. Expand The NFL season is a marathon. At 4-2 the Bills are still on schedule. There's lots of room for improvement and hopefully they peak at the right time.

The pass defense is absolutely terrifying and it's not like they've been super stout against the run either. Expand To the bolded... the Bills trio of CBs in Rasul, Christian, and Taron might be the best in the league. If the safety play continues to improve our pass D will be just fine. It was interesting that Bishop didn't parlay his 2 game audition into a starting spot... and Rapp vindicated the coaches' decision tonight. 1 Quote

Expand Bills redzone defense has been very good and very clutch. A little soft here and there before the redzone but big plays and tight red zone defense are making up for that. And that's with a banged up defense so I would imagine getting some players back will help. I found it interesting when Billy B on the Manningcast mentioned that the Bills lack "team speed" on defense the past 4-5 years. I kind of understand it but I also found it odd. Because the Bills defense has (I thought) had some fast players. Hyde and Po early on were pretty fast guys, Tre was certainly a 8/9 out of 10 on speed, Milano is one of the best end to end LB's in the league, and I think Bernard and several other defenders are on the fast side of their positions. I also think the defense has been very "clutch" in al the close games the team which is an amazing sign. The only reason the Bills had a chance against the Texans was the two big turnovers the defense forced and how they buckled down in the second half for the most part. Against the Cardinals they had the stop on the final drive. And against the Jets Taron comes up with the INT to get the offense in position to ice the game. I think last year the defense felt very "un-clutch" like there were so many games where the defense was in position to ice a game but always let up a score. This year on many occasions the defense has come up with big plays and iced games out. Having a defense that can make big plays esp big plays in the clutch is something that can carry a team with a suspect offense at times much like KC. 1 Quote

They’re going to have to carry us in the end; much like the chiefs last year. Expand I do wonder IF (and this is a big if) the Bills get Milano and everyone mostly back healthy what would the Bills if they want to look to add to the defense at the trade deadline? CB, seems like the starting trio of Douglas/Benford/Taron are very good while depth wise Ingram has shown to be good and I know Elam is persona non-gratta he's just been outshined by other players but he's there if depth is needed. At LB Benard and Williams are a solid combo and Milano coming back would solidify it. D-line you could always use a punch up but I think they are very solid there. Groot, Von (when he comes off suspension), and AJE are a very good trio while Smoot and Solomon are good depth. Safety seems to be before the season starts but I think the safety play has been solid. The defense certainly could carry the team much like KC's defense carried an offense that was a times suspect. 1 Quote
