24-21 Bills. They get the Dub but the close score leaves a bitter taste in fan’s mouths.

The defense last year sucked as much as this year's D. A crucial difference however: last years D won the turnover battle, so last year looked better over all.

It was sarcasm Pete

You should talk to the people producing the trade deficit numbers about changing their criteria because as it stands we're running big deficits. What's your estimate of intellectual services, or definition of it, the US exports? And shouldn't that be offset by the 1,000's of US companies using outsourcing services like tech from India and call centers from the Carribean and Asia? What I've seen to date is reshoring high value manufacturing not low cost items.

derrick Henry fumble was a rarity by him. we are getting bulldozed, gashed on the ground. 225lb lbs doesn't work.

got married.

Complexity LMAO. Brady can’t get 1 yard in short and 1. Go watch the 49ers and Lions if you want to see some complexity. Nothing complex about bubble screen and no passes longer than 10 yards. Brady complex 😂 🤣 😂 🤣

kevin stefansky can coach an offense. the insane browns have screwed him.

I agree generally with the caveat that there's numerous players on the defense who have played poorly and a lot of that impacts Taron's play.

It’s now a $75 tour. Inflation is a B word.

Ignorance is bliss

Do you think they'll show this in an upcoming "Embedded" episode? Kudos for owning up. That said... I always said he'd return after the bye, the question being the above. In other words i always thought the question was how much, not when.

This old heart of mine been broke a thousand times Each time you break away, I feel you're gonna stay Lonely nights that come, memories that go Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more Maybe it's my mistake to show this love that I feel inside 'Cause each day that passes by You got me never knowing if I'm coming or going 'cause I love you, yes I do, this old heart I love you, yes I do, yes I do, wait for me

Expecting a decent bounce back game. Can’t let this turn into a 3 game skid. Go Bills! 27-19

Alabama was very lucky to win this game vs. South Carolina. They did well to come back but unlike many teams, their schedule is just brutal. They have won seven straight (five against SEC opponents), but three of their four remaining games include LSU, Oklahoma, and Auburn. They might even have to appear in a conference title game, and I think that with the expanded playoffs these games should be eliminated. It will be extremely hard to keep going at ths pace but one must admire their grit after that awful opening day defeat. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What are you eating Jerry?" "Rice"

Every time I see this guy, the same questions come to mind: 1) When is he gonna cut that damned hair? 2) Is he too much of a narcissist to cut his hair? 3) Will he ever reach the point where self-loathing overpowers narcissism, causing him to cut his hair? Every time.

Our receivers -minus Kincaid- are too easy to defend.

Does this mean our new cheer squad will all be eunuchs?

If you’re Brady do u stick with the low event short game but just do it BETTER? Or do you pivot away from that … because it’s too easy to defend??

Prompt: In each of the last 7 seasons the Buffalo Bills have had 2 game losing streaks. Summarize the fan reaction to these losing streaks on the message board "The Stadium Wall" Response: 2019 Context: The Bills finished 10-6 and made the playoffs, with losses in Weeks 16–17 (at New England, then vs New York Jets). Wikipedia +1 Forum pulse: The mood was fairly measured at the time of those losses. Since the team already had a winning record and playoff berth in view, many fans framed the skid in terms of positioning and what it revealed rather than panic. For example, one thread summarized: “Context of the skid: The Bills lost Weeks 16-17 … after already clinching a wild card. Forum pulse: Pragmatic and playoff-oriented more than panicked.” Two Bills Drive Outlook: Most fans still believed in the team’s playoff chances and were focused on momentum and how the coaching staff might address late-season execution. Mood: Measured confidence — fans weren’t thrilled about the losses, but they didn’t view them as catastrophic. 2020 Context: The Bills recorded a two-game losing streak (Weeks 5–6: at Titans, vs Chiefs). Forum pulse: The board showed concern. Many posts emphasized the defense looking shaky and the offense under-performing. At the same time, there were voices urging calm — reminding that the Bills had strong fundamentals. Outlook: Mixed. A significant portion of fans were nervous about the skid, but many held faith the team would rebound. Mood: Cautious optimism — worried, but believing the roster still had enough to recover. 2021 Context: After a skid (Weeks 13–14: at Patriots, at Buccaneers) the forum was active with commentary. Forum pulse: More frustration than in 2020. Losses felt more consequential. Some posts were blunt: “This team hasn’t shown enough to believe the hype.” Outlook: While many still believed in a playoff berth (especially given the division), fewer believed in a deep playoff run unless the Bills improved dramatically. Mood: Tentative hope mixed with stronger skepticism. 2022 Context: The Bills lost two in a row (Jets then Vikings) at a critical stretch. Forum pulse: A renewed wave of “here-we-go-again” frustration appeared. The two-game skid had become a pattern. Posts pointed out the repeated nature of the skid and the irritation that it still happened. Outlook: Faith in the Bills making the playoffs (or winning the division) remained, but belief in them being truly elite — or avoiding recurring issues — waned. Mood: Frustrated but still believing. 2023 Context: Another two-game slide (e.g., losses to Bengals & Broncos) triggered posts. Forum pulse: The tone was more resigned than panicked. Many users framed the skid as something expected but still unwanted. There was more focus on coaching/adjustments than doom-and-gloom. Some watchers said: “Elite teams don’t keep doing this.” Outlook: Still moderate confidence in a playoff/division outcome, but less blind optimism about championship potential. Mood: Balanced — annoyance with a dose of optimism. 2024 Context: After a two-game skid (losses circa vs Ravens & Texans) the forum again weighed in. Two Bills Drive Forum pulse: The tone shifted toward calm confidence. The two-game skid, while not loved, was less alarming — fans noted that this happens and that the team often recovers. One thread declared: “The Bills have lost 2 straight games at some point every season since 2020… Their combined record after those skids is 32-2.” Two Bills Drive Outlook: Strong belief the Bills would still win the division and make the playoffs; the skid was seen more as an accommodation than a crisis. Mood: Optimistic with a “no panic” mindset. 2025 Context: The Bills started strong (4-0) then lost two straight (Week 5 at Patriots, Week 6 vs Falcons) bringing them to 4-2. Forum pulse: A mix of concern and vigilance. Some frustration: posts like “Inexcusable loss… these are the games that cost the #1 seed.” Others still hopeful: “We looked sloppy but we’re 4-0 and still in control.” Outlook: The two-game skid hasn’t derailed belief in the team yet, but there is more awareness that the margin for error is thinner than in past years. Mood: Concerned but not panicked — sharper eyes on potential dangers. Overall Trends Over the years the recurring two-game skid has become less of a shock and more of a recognized hurdle. Fan reaction evolved from anxiety (2019-early 2020) → skepticism/frustration (2021-2022) → calm expectation (2024) → vigilant confidence (2025). Despite the skids, faith in the Bills’ baseline (making playoffs / winning the division) has stayed relatively intact. What has changed more significantly is belief in avoiding repeated issues or going deep in the postseason. The forum often pivots quickly from “What went wrong?” to “How do we fix it?” rather than dwelling in panic. Prompt: Is there more fan unhappiness in 2025? Yes — there is evidence pointing to more visible fan unhappiness so far in 2025 on the Two Bills Drive “The Stadium Wall” forum than what was typical in recent years. Here’s a breakdown of how and why that appears to be the case, along with caveats. What supports the idea of increased unhappiness: Recent forum sentiment A thread titled “The Bills have lost 2 consecutive games every season under McD. Here is the reaction…” captures a lot of reaction data across seasons — and highlights that for 2025 there is a notably sharper tone. Two Bills Drive One thread around the preseason/early season in 2025 shows posts like: “It is clear how bad Jackson played in camp and pre-season… hope he hooks up with another team…” Two Bills Drive +1 The article about the 2024 skid noted that confidence dropped from 88% to 28% in some fan-polls after two straight losses. Buffalo Rumblings That kind of drop suggests fans respond strongly — which could magnify in 2025 given heightened expectations. Circumstances of 2025 seem to amplify frustration The team started 4-0 then had back-to-back losses (to the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons) which renewed the pattern of a two-game skid. Wikipedia +1 Given the Bills’ high expectations (division titles, playoff runs) and the recurrence of the skid, fans appear less willing to “talk it off” and more willing to voice critique. More pointed criticism of coaching & execution The forum posts show increasing mentions of issues like: poor defensive performances, situational mistakes, depth concerns, and suggestions of “we’ve seen this before.” That repetition seems to breed more annoyance rather than surprise. Two Bills Drive +1 Some fans are less patient: the tenor in 2025 threads begins to question not just execution but the broader pattern, which is reflective of deeper frustration. ⚠️ Why it may not be fully out of line with past years The forum has for years shown irritation after the two-game skid, so while the tone may feel sharper in 2025, it’s part of a consistent cycle (worry → frustration → rebound). Because 2025 is still in progress, we’re seeing only part of the season’s reaction; full assessments (especially after playoffs or season end) may shift mood again. The “higher unhappiness” doesn’t necessarily mean fans no longer believe in the team — many posts still talk about hope, recovery, and making adjustments. The difference is the volume and directness of criticism. 🔍 My judgement: Yes — there is more fan unhappiness in 2025 than in many recent seasons, largely because: The pattern of a two-game skid has deeper familiarity/fatigue among fans. The losses hit after a strong start (4-0) raising expectations and hence creating more let-down. The criticism is less about “we’ll figure it out” and more about “why are we still doing this?” However — unhappiness hasn’t (yet) escalated into a full loss of faith. The core belief in the team’s competitiveness remains for many, but the margin for error seems smaller, and the patience slimmer. 🔍 My Interpretation Putting the above together, here’s how I interpret the “unhappiness differential” in 2025: Volume of Critique: There are more posts critiquing structures (defense, WR corps, front office decisions) rather than isolated game mistakes. Tone: Less “we’ll fix this” optimism and more “we have deep problems” language. Patience Level: Shorter patience among forum members; earlier in 2025 even preseason posts had strong negative angles (“fire McDermott now”). Engagement: Threads related to the skid/2-game losses are getting rapid replies, suggesting higher emotional investment and concern. In other words: yes — there is more visible fan unhappiness in 2025 (so far) compared to similar skid-points in prior seasons. But important caveats: The season is still in progress; future wins or losses may shift tone. The forum represents a vocal fan segment—not all fans. “Unhappiness” doesn’t mean full loss of faith; many posts still express hope, so it’s emotional intensity rather than wholesale pessimism.

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!
