FYI, this is not a doom and gloom post. As much as this game doesn't make the season, this game really was a big blow to my psyche. We had a chance to really make a statement vs. a divisional team that was struggling and we came out flat. We completely beat ourselves and we didn't put ourselves in a good position to win. Now we are 2-2 and more importantly 0-2 in the division.

I know that many will see the bright side of this by saying that look how close we made this game despite the 19 (I believe that was the number) of penalties and the -4 TO ratio but IMO, if we really are a different team, we wouldn't just be satisfied w/ just keeping it close. That's what we've seen around her for the last 10 years!!!! It's not good enough.

We had an extra week off and we should of cleaned up all of those focus problems. Instead, we break the franchise record and pretty much gave them every opportunity to win this game.

Saban preaches mental and physical toughness but as of right now, our team doesn't have it.
 
We are still ahead of you Bills Fans, so shut your pie holes. :lol:

I think it was a reality check for us. We'll come out against Tampa swinging and won't comitt as many penalties

I hope you're right. Then again, I thought that that would be the case this week. We are 0-2 in the division and 1-2 in the conference. Those are the most important records.
 
That was the most disturbing part. How does Saban let his team come out flat after a bye week and commit 18 penalties! the 4 INTs..fine. We all know we didnt have an all-pro QB. but 18 penalties. That right there sealed our fate.

you lost. Get over it.

9 posts doesn't qualify you to be a bills fan, not one we'd listen to anyway.

Nice of you to come out of your cave. Where were you all week?

I stated a simple fact. You lost. So move on. All this cryin about penalties. You lost, period.

I could use an excuse as well that we are missing the heart and soul of our team in Takeo and also lost one of our our starting DTs in Edwards.

You lost , we won, move on.

Me too. Last year we were riding Wanny and the coaching staff for not instilling discipline into our players but this was the most undisciplined team that I've ever seen in my 22 years as a fan.

We are 2-2, and ahead of you in the standings...get over it.

0-2 in the division and 1-2 in the conference. Nuff said.
 
we lost to a horrible team that we should have beaten seven days a week, they will be lucky to win four games this year and have no real talent except for mcghee, so we will have to win all our home games in the division to have a shot at the pats
 
We still don't have the personnel to be dominating, or to beat a team that is desparate for a win. We need help in secondary, OL and QB.

That being said, I don't think it was a deflating loss to the players. Saban preaches forgetting about what happened the previous week and focussing on the next game, witness how we rebounded from a tough loss to the Jets
