8-8 Forever?

cuts off 17 years ago does it?

no, i did not

Hey , forget it. Let's go out 9-7 and see if its good enough. TT is not coming back, I think that is obvious. And hasn't been from the start , or they would have paid him. He gave them the best chance to win this year. Was the right judgement... there was no one else out there (yes , in 20/20 hindsight they could have had Watson, but they wanted to see what they had before they did that). That will probably not be the case next year. They will make changes at QB for sure over the next 4 months, that's "the Process", which is less than, what, 10 months and one full season into it. This was always the "see what we have" year, they burned this year to see what they needed to do. Now they know. And now they will act, in my opinion. Big changes coming b4 next season. But let's stay in the moment. They still have a shot to do something this year.

It is clearly in the league and networks (who pay the league, who pay the refs) interest that the Patriots succeed and get a top seed in the playoffs, so that the TV ratings of the playoffs are the highest they can be (which justify the rates paid by advertisers to the network, which then get paid to the league) . Neither the networks or the league benefit from the Bills doing well, because the Bills kill TV ratings due the small size of the WNY market; hell half of NFL fans don't even know there is a franchise in WNY. Whether any of this trickles down to the officials is impossible to tell, but its in everyone's interest that the biggest TV draws (ie; Cowboys, Patriots, Giants, Jets, Rams etc.) do well. No one wants to watch TV to see Charl Schwartzel win the Masters, they watch to see Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson win it.

wrong. QB is the need

The QB

Darnold , Rosen or Allen , in that order

r wilson just did the same thing in Cowboys game. reeeelaaax

kickoff. seriously, when Clay made the drop. It was over for me then. you need to hit on everything on the road against top 5 teams. no drops. get turnovers. Bills not strong enough yet

they're in good shape. trust the process. still might make it this year, which would be truly extraordinary

trust the process. to me they seem right on track. got rid of the dead weight or guys who were leaving in FA anyway. found some young talent, built a secondary in one year. O Line looks to be in good shape. drafted 4 starters. all good

Well Cinci could win in Baltimore if its Lewis' last game as coach. How's that for optimism.

is that good or bad for us?

A Titans win today can't help us, can it/ ?

This playoff stuff is confusing. they of course lost today, as expected. what do we need to get in? anyone know?

agreed. RB is an easy position to draft.

what a bunch of whiners. Pats win because they give you absolutely nothing and push you on every play. Lets hope they come out and compete hard for 60 min, but no turnover-driven road win today boys.

ok coach . whatever you say

I've had this injury. As long as the flap of torn off meniscus stays flat on the inside of the "bowl" of meniscus that the femur end sits in and doesn't fold over and impinge the nerves (and will hurt like a knife) , he can go. Kind of luck of the draw . I held out for years before it became too annoying when it would fold over. He can't make it any worse, but if the loose flap folds over he's f d. One day i could run five miles no prob, 2 days later nada.

yeah the train is coming down the tracks for the Pats. there will be a Bills / Pats game here soon where the tide will turn. Not tomorrow, but soon.

I'll take him if they can get him. Absolutely. The one position you have to have a quality guy in. Jones and Benjamin will be beasts in this league, IMO. Use the draft picks to put more pieces around him. Would be the best possible result, rather than betting on the 4th or 5th Qb coming out.

probably, but they've won this year when TT looked like a hs qb, so maybe that's not the only predictor. turnovers, injuries matter, lets see how the thing plays out on the field . they won in Cinci last year when AJ Green went out on the first play. we'll see

not sure I want to go back there

yeah it's way too early

On paper we should get plastered, but hey, let see how they do Sunday and go from there, shall we?
