Re: Official Buffalo Bills Thread

Man, what a huge letdown.

Bills gotta come out ready to execute and desperate for a victory next week.

Re: Official Buffalo Bills Thread

What sucks is we were lifeless on offense mostly, our defense was pretty good against an offense that has some weapons (I liked what I saw of Rousseau A LOT), but it was a blown special teams play that was the deciding points. That shouldn’t — and can’t — happen regularly. I hope special teams isn’t our Achilles heel.

I’m not ready to panic on Daboll, JA and the offense, but if it starts to become a trend, we’re gonna have to switch up. Offenses can’t stay stagnant, even when they’re great the year before. The NFL evolved yearly, weekly so staying still is a recipe for disaster.

0-2 isn’t a death sentence, but losing next week to Miami, who just knocked off the Pats, would be a tough blow all around. Hopefully getting schooled a bit by PIT was a wake up call. We’re only as good as our record, and this isn’t 2020. Gotta win ball games.

Re: Official Buffalo Bills Thread

Here’s a great explainer of what happened Sunday against PIT, and whether we should be worried JA and the offense are turning in to a pumpkin:

The answer is no, at least not yet. PIT has a unique roster of defenders and a history of defensive excellence, and while teams will key on the things Buffalo’s offense does more keenly than in years past, it’s unlikely to be replicated weekly by lesser teams.

The best comparison was the blitz rate by PIT and TB against KC in last year’s Super Bowl. They hardly did it, but they pressured and got to JA frequently with just 4. Not every team has Watt. Or Devin White/David/Suh/Barrett/JPP.

And we only lost by 7 with one being a blocked punt return TD.

There are concerns for Allen and the offense. He’s shown he can grow from mistakes or inadequacies over his career, so I’d wager on that history of improvement over a special teams anomaly clipping us every week.
