This is where I said we had to be. Soft part of the schedule coming up. Get healthy, get Adams or some receiver, and let's go.

The Bills are clearly better than Indy and Seattle, but going into those buildings and winning won't be easy.

Tonight was a big win. Lots of bad officiating and bass to overcome and came through big. 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.

Most were saying given the schedule coming out 4-3 would be great…..

The problem with firing McD - he can ***king coach defense.  And these guys play for him.  
 

Joe Brady big response tonight.

Did we watch the same game?

Losing to Houston & Baltimore may impact seeding.

The defense is going to have to grow into something special if this team is going to make noise in the playoffs 

[billsfan89]

Two division away games plus week one which is always uneasy and toss in a win against a bad Jags team and at 4-2 you have to like it. Fins are reeling due to the Tua injury and some other issues, and the Pats are the "one year away" team that we kind of thought they would be. The Jets are also reeling despite Rodgers being a decent QB which points to larger flaws. 

 

Overall the Bills are who we thought they were. They have a good defense that's a little banged up, they have a good offensive line and RB/TE squad with a great QB. However, they are a little lackluster at WR. Find a way to add some pop at WR and get healthy (esp on defense) and I think this team will have a chance to go far.

I grow to expect we are going to give up some yards earlier in games until we settle down. But this makes the fair weather fans lose their minds.

No, the sky is falling. The sky is always falling. I’ve been down this road before.

Would like a safety almost better

Despite losing Milano and being banged up (plus the Von suspension) the defense has looked good. Not great or elite but it has been a defense that can win games. If they get some guys back I think they will be good enough to win in the playoffs. The question is will the WR core hamper the offense against better defenses? Which I think 6 weeks in is a yes.

I mean lesser teams with lesser toughness and grit lose that game.  
 

We need a kicker asap.  
 

Fluke Hail Mary was why it wasn’t a blowout

I think the defense (with everyone back/healthy) has a higher ceiling than the offense this year. They’re going to have to carry us in the end; much like the chiefs last year.

Strong case to say 8-2 headed into Chiefs game.

After watching that game not sure how anyone can make that assumption.

I’d say only mustering up 3pts in the 2nd half was a bigger factor why it wasn’t a blowout. 

[Wizard]

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.

[nedboy7]

We gave up over 400 yards. Let’s calm down about how we good we look.

Losing to both those teams already shed a lot of light. It ain’t pretty.

I said this last week after the Houston loss and got a bunch of “laugh” emojis in response. No one should be laughing now.

I didn't watch a dominant performance tonight and I still remember last October's "easy" part of the schedule.

The pass defense is absolutely terrifying and it's not like they've been super stout against the run either.
