I was so supremely confident that Norwood was going to make that and that the Bills were a burgeoning dynasty that I wasn't really any more worried than today when it meant very little by comparison. I know it's probably hard to fathom but that team was so good that fans just expected them to find a way to win every game they played, no matter who it was against and no matter what the score was.

This twitter stream is ridiculous. The world is doomed.

OL played their best game.

He looked good to the naked eye. I'm curious to see how many snaps he got.

No, but he's not going to sit back there like a deer in headlights either. He will be fine.

It's funny how many people spin whatever happens on the field to fit their narratives instead of just taking what occurred at face value.

Weird.

OL played very well today. Probably need to leave them out of it.

I'm confused. Is this a tank season or not? When they lose we hear that it's all part of the master plan. Trust the process. When they win we hear how silly anyone who ever doubted them is.

It's about time. I've been wondering how the Bills can possibly keep going with Peterman as the backup.

He hasn't been great, but he's the best TE on the roster. You can't keep cutting your starting players without having a replacement in hand if you want to win games. You just keep digging yourself a bigger hole. If they find someone better then by all means cut him, but until then he should stay.

Cut ‘em all. I think two years is very optimistic. The Bills are still losing players. In two years K Williams, L Alexander and L McCoy will all be gone. So add these positions to the list where high level starters are needed.

Maybe he can go join Doug Marrone in Jacksonville.

It’ll take a few more games before his critics stop the rock throwing and go into hiding. It’s hard to accept defeat on TBD.

Well that sucks. Wow.

So his plan is to tank but he's lying about it to his current players and fans? That's not a good way to build trust. I think he meant what he said but miscalculated as to how much the roster purge was going to affect the team's performance.

I don't understand where this idea came from that you have to destroy your roster and start from scratch to change the culture and start winning. There are plenty of examples of new coaches coming in and changing the culture without doing that. Just look at our favorite son, Doug Marrone for a recent example. He took over the Jaguars when they were 2-12. They immediately went 10-6 the next season and made it to the AFC championship game. They didn't clean house and start over. They kept the same players and got them to buy in and play well. I can see changing a few players who don't fit your scheme or something, but but gutting the entire roster is excessive.

I thought the process was to "win now and build for the future," from McDermott's own mouth. I didn't realize we gave up on the first part.

Who is the LDE then? Lawson or Yarbrough?

Was that before the server upgrade? I don't think old posts were migrated from before then.

Once they hit bottom the building can begin I guess. Or maybe they'll just stay there like the Sabres did. We'll see.

The Ravens have the best record of any team they have played.

Sadly, not just Kelvin Benjamin.

I agree. What I think is harsh is attributing poor play by him to age old flaws in his game. I think a lot of it comes from a lack of experience against pro defenses, poor supporting personnel and quite possibly bad coaching. I'm not saying that he doesn't have things to work on, but they would be much less prominent if he had a better situation.
