Won, but almost feels like a loss

[LiterateStylish 11,586]

Zero touchdowns against the WORST redzone defense in the entire NFL.

Think about that.

There are NO worst defenses in letting teams score touchdowns on them, and we couldn’t get a single touchdown!

Ill take the win.

Ugly wins count too.

But damn, the way you play matters, because it shows you how good or how not good you are.

For some reason I don't feel as bad as I did about the Rams game.

[Klaista 28]

We barley beat a team that will most likely go 0-16.... Think about that for a second and let it sink in.

Had Kroft not tripped over a grain of rice, we would have had a TD. That wasn’t a bad Pass- it was a dime right over his shoulder.

And it’s a division game - sometimes they are close / ugly.

Honestly, It went like I expected. I didnt think it would be a blowout. Jets games seem to always be close for some reason. I don't know what happened at halftime but the O and D adjustments were perfect.

Because the defense didn’t get gashed to end the game.

D looked much better.

I think they brought the CB’s and LB’s closer to the LOS and we started pressuring much more.

I was screaming at my tram for them to send pressure in the 1st half.

Letting Darnold sit back there and survey is just ridiculous.

It wasn’t a dime - it was overthrown:

But it was good enough for a TD.

Well our coaching staff made better adjustments than the Jets staff.  So there is that.

[Laughing Coffin 1,278]

the last thing i'm coming away with from this game is the defense is fixed.

How many penalties did we have inside their 30?  Had to have been 50+ yards of penalties...+ 1 illegal formation that took a TD off the board.

We beat the worst team in the NFL by FG's......This wont fly next weekend......I think SF is gonna beat NE this afternoon.....think belicheat loses 3 in a row?  Not the way our team is playing....

Not having Smoke is KILLING this offense. 

[bufbills 2,090]

Division road game. I'll take it.

I think that’s a huge part of it.

Each game is unique. The only trick is doing what it takes to score more points than the other team. If that's four field goals, four touchdowns, or four safeties it doesn't matter

It's entirely possible the bills offense will return to its highlight real early-season self when it probably has to be next week. Do whatever it takes to stay close and try to make the plays near the end that seal the victory

It doesn't feel like a loss to me. To me, it feels like the Bills didn't play today. It was a win, though. I'll take it.

Meh...I'm just happy for the win.  The odds are the Jets won't go 0-16.  The longer they go, the more dangerous they will be.  This was their second time seeing us and they were fired up to play.  A play here or there and it's a blowout.  I mean, Davis scored a TD but for the fact that he was on the line or not on the line or whatever...I've always wondered why the fuck that even matters?

[The Chosen 7,958]

I contemplated turning the channel at halftime. They looked like hot garbage from top to bottom in the first half. But for whatever reasons both sides of the ball played better in the second half. If not for penalties, the game may have turned into a blow out. Disappointed in the first half, but redeemed themselves somewhat in the second half. Hopefully it carries over into next week.

No Smoke does suck, and limits some things, but not everything.  Couple of things avout about today, not excuses just what ifs.

Gabe's TD called back, Kroft turf monster and Zach Moss deciding there's no need to juke anybody and just TRUCK STICK the DB on that screen all could've been big play scores.

Josh has to stop feeding Diggs early when he's double covered.  After the first quarter for the most part he did.  If teams are going to go heavy zone and roll coverage to Diggs, than Bease should keep feasting.

Never apologize for a win in the NFL and what you do 1 week rarely matters the next.   If they trash the Pats next week nobody will care about anything that happened today except the W.   It's a week to week league

Ok McD.

I don't care what our record is can we just admit this team sucks?
