Step away from the ledge

[Mr. Miyagi]

Let's put things in perspective. We are 1-1 against the top 2 AFC teams. If someone told you before the season this would happen, I think most of us would gladly take it.

Our schedule gets easier from here out. We still have the Jags and Titans and Redskins to play. I don't know how Miami lost to the Jags but it's safe to say it should be less of a challenge than the Colts and the Pats.

I'm still optimistic about our season.

Well said. However, though we all knew there was a good chance we would lose yesterday, I doubt anyone saw it being that bad. I mean, aside from OpIv who thought it would be about 3-4 times worse. All the good that we gleaned from Week #1 was dissembled before our very eyes. Offense, defense, special teams, and coaching...all sucked mightily. And the one sore thumb from the Colts game, the penalties, appears to be systemic and the coaches appear clueless as to how to correct it.

Miami is beatable and boy do we need a win.

Week 1: Superbowl. Week 2: We suck 7-9. Week 3: Superbowl.

Re: Step away from the ledge

I was never planning to step on the edge even if we lost. We can still makes playoffs by beating teams not named the Cheatriots. However, yesterday's game told me we most likely can't beat the Cheaters and the road to the sb is through them.

Seems like a good match up then. Same thing here.

Re: Step away from the ledge

Long season ahead, anything can happen, it's not like one loss to the defending Super Bowl champions is the death knell for the rest of the year, but let's face facts...winners don't put themselves in a position to "put things in perspective" or "look on the bright side". The ass-whupping hurt, and it should.

Re: Step away from the ledge

During the Super Bowl years the Bills would play a bad game or two looking like garbage. They still won the AFC in spite of these bad games:
1990 (13-3) week 2 lost 30-7 at Miami
1991 (13-3) week 6 butt whipping at Kansas City 33-6
1992 (11-5) week 5 lost 37-10 at home vs Miami followed by a 20-3 no show in LA vs the Raiders in week 6 and of course the season finale in Houston losing 27-3 and Kelly getting injured.
1993 (12-4) week 9 shutout in Pittsburgh 23-0, two weeks later going down 23-7 in Kansas City.

During the Levy/Kelly era the Bills couldn't play well in KC or Pittsburgh (the best game in Pittsburgh was with Reich-Kelly would get too wound up going home).
Presently, the Bills can't play against the Brady/Belichick duo of New England.
It's one game-look at the schedule-there are 10 or more wins there-they only have to play NE once in the next 14 games-the sky hasn't fallen.

Re: Step away from the ledge

The Bills were about 3 plays away from tying the game at 40.

They put up 32 points against Bill Belichick's defense.

When is the last time a quarterback facing Belichick's defense for the first time in his career put up that many points?

Never? I'm not sure, but it would be interesting to know.

Tyrod Taylor was 23-30 for 242 yards, had 3 passing TD's, 1 rushing TD and 3 picks.

Two of those interceptions could have and should have been caught.

If Amendola can make a great catch, there's no reason why Harvin and Clay shouldn't have caught those passes.

Take away the phantom penalties, and New England's field position would have been much different.

The game was closer than it should have been.

Instead of laying down and getting thumped, the Bills fought back and had a chance to tie the game.

They almost made a huge comeback against the Patriots.

The Bills never gave up in that game, which is all I can ask for as a fan.

Re: Step away from the ledge

Watkins dropped the last pass that was picked...he should come down with those.

Re: Step away from the ledge

I literally feel nothing when I watch the Bills anymore. No highs. No lows.

I guess I'm just a cynical member of generation X (ok technically I'm a millennial) that just doesn't give a **** about anything.

For the first time in 20 years I turned it off in the first quarter and went and read a book the rest of the afternoon.

Sad how hopeless this franchise is.

I used to live and die for this stuff. Now it's just like... I dunno... trying to pretend you're excited to do something lame like pick out furniture with your girlfriend.

Oh well.

Boxing is my first love anyway.

And the Sabres seem to be on the right path.

BTW I do not trust run first QB's like Taylor, RGIII, Kaepernick, etc etc. They're all flashes in the pan that get figured out and then they're washed up the second DC's figure out how to contain them in the pocket.

Taylor just seems like another gimmick at QB.
