I’m a grateful drought survivor, but even I was just about to post a public apology to anyone who spent any time/money/effort to travel in support of this team. At least those who watched the Titans loss saw an entertaining game. This was an absolute embarrassment.

Good thing we didn’t “waste” picks at the trade deadline.

You could tell by that throw away at the RBs feet last drive that Josh has no faith in his OL and no mojo.

The OL looks unrecognizable. It’s a crime that we didn’t trade for OL depth

The word “inquire” is starting to look suspect at this point. If we ask “Is *insert player’s name here* home?” then technically we inquired about them.

True. He wasn't terrible. However, he wasn't superlative either. If we're going to choose between booming punts and good holds, I'd choose the better holding to ensure the points. There really needs to be a shank stat for punters. I feel both have the same amount. Until Haack busts out one of those fakes we were told he was so good at, I'm still going to feel that we should have kept Bojo if only because he was our eccentric weirdo we stole from the Pats fair and square. The local paper put the blame for the Crosby misses on the "team" when it happened, but since they've made a change at long snapper, they've shifted the blame to be totally on the previous long snapper. Seems to be towing the party line.

This may have already been answered, but why didn’t the Browns rework his contract and trade him? His hissy fit happened before the deadline, they had time to make their cap hit minimal AND dump him off on another team. At least they would have gotten something back in return for him.

A coworker is a Saints fan who seems to think that football was a means to an end for Thomas and that his huge contract left him less hungry for the game. Not sure how to fact check that

Yep. You nailed it. I only sleep when the Bills lose. Jacksonville doesn't want to win. Urban Meyer wants to grind, but on young women, not coaching. But seriously I don't want to be the old man yelling at the whippersnappers driving 26 mph through the neighborhood, but I have to remind everyone that everyone in the NFL was the best in their town, state, and college. The Dolphins showed that even a team with an abysmal record wants to win. Flores pulled every trick he had out on Sunday. They did the opposite of their tendencies, then mixed up coverages/blitzes and confused our offense. For the first half, it worked. Miami was a shanked kick and a terrible snap away from a 10 point lead going into the half. That is why I consider Sunday to be one of the better wins on the year. Our coaches diagnosed what went wrong in the first half, and constantly adjusted to pull out a win against a division rival who knows our strengths/weaknesses better than most. It's been so great to finally have a team that you can count on to be competitive for a change after such a long drought. But expectations are bordering ridiculous. We need to remember that being the top dog means that everyone is gunning for you, and you're going to get their best shot. So expecting a blowout is a bridge too far. Hoping for one isn't. And I'm hoping along with you.

We will play down to them. Close game. Never a dull moment with these Bills.

This ^^^ For better or worse, McBeane & co feel their draft skill is better than anyone we could trade for. The expectations are a little higher from the crew who made Diggs happen. Especially when our needs seem obvious. It would be interesting to find out who was being shopped and what they were asking for. That way we could accurately grade trades.

CLE should move him. True, they will not get anything in return close to what they’ve invested in him. But that’s looking backwards while trying to move forward. PIT cut bait on Brown, survived, and was better for it. This is the Browns test to see if they’re in the same realm of franchise as PIT. Able to make the hard but necessary decisions.

Where’s Deshaun Watson going?

I would go for 2 on every TD drive over 10 plays. The defense couldn’t stop you AND they’re tired. Strike while the iron is hot.

The ultimate buzz kill for anyone wanting a blockbuster deadline deal would be getting a 5th round pick for Trubisky. It would be the opposite of Viagra. It would be what emergency rooms give people with erections lasting more than 4 hours.

That one hurt because I had indeed gotten by popcorn ready as previously instructed

Watching the Minnesota Dallas game last night I was sure I saw Cee Dee Lamb tapping out after a tackle. No one in the room seemed to see it but me and there was no replay. Couldn't find an article about it anywhere. At least one person on Reddit caught it.

I'm curious as to their forums dedicated to "look at ladies" and why they're asking their members for money. But more importantly, are the two related?

Anybody want to bet our games highlights gets skipped yet again this halftime on SNF?

Hughes reminds me of Bruce with his quickness and dogged determination. When he's on, and focused, he is the second coming of Bruce. What doesn't remind me of Bruce is his apparent uncoachable habit of over pursuing and getting way out his run fits/rush lanes.

Losman running out of the endzone, Edwards running out of bounds on 4th down in the 4th quarter, so many terrible memories over 17 years.

Beasely just told me they booed Amari Cooper!

How long before pick 6s are ruled illegal?
