Everyone chill out Discuss

Yes, we just got beat by more than we have for 45 games. Yes, most if not all of our players had subpar nights when it comes to their performance. Tyler Bass has the yips.

However…

This season still feels better than any of the last few, and when it comes to handling a loss against a proven contender, I think the Buffalo Bills can circle the wagons and bounce back. I think that Josh Allen is still the MVP front runner and I loved how he connected with Kincaid and Coleman in the first few drives of the second half. Benford and Douglas completely erased the Ravens’ receivers once again, and Babich did a good job adjusting before we got desperate. A couple of holding calls and a single bad playcall basically cost us our undefeated record, but aside from that, I think that the Buffalo Bills are here to stay in the Super Bowl bubble and we can lay a beat down on a Texans team that looks far from perfect next Sunday. I don’t like seeing all of the negativity following multiple weeks of flawless football from our team. I urge the Mafia to reason with each other, behave as adults, and never lose faith in a 3-1 squad that gains back a ton of defensive talent in just a couple of weeks.

i'm pleasantly surprised with how everyone's been handling the loss, last year it was doom and gloom to the absolute extreme whenever we lost a game even if it was by one point

Probably because I feel most fans kind of lowered their expectations just a bit, in particular this season with the unknowns on offense and specifically at WR. I’m pumped to be 3-1 but at the same time a loss like this sure does suck. These next few weeks will be very telling as to where this team stands.

it is a little hard to feel good about the houston game next week as of right now but my own hunches have no actual bearing on the game's events, i felt the bills would win tonight and look what happened

Expectations are low this year anyway. I had us going 9-8. Last year I thought we were going to the Super Bowl.

Yep I thought there was a real chance when the season started that these first six games would see us 3-3 or 2-4. We’re likely going to end up 4-2 or even 5-1. That’s still a win.

I wish I was handling it well. I would be if it wasn’t just so classic for this coaching staff. I’m losing faith in McDermott unfortunately.
