Hard no. What is wrong with you people? He started a fight with a woman, threw her to the ground, then kicked her when she was down. It's on video for all to see (not alleged, but proven). Does it matter at this point how good he is at football?

True, but also consider that your real estate dollar goes further in Buffalo than in just about any other NFL city, excepting Detroit. That being said, NY taxes on an NFL salary are probably worth more $$$ than most mansions.

I don't see it. I watch him on almost every defensive snap. He seems to just hang back and watch everyone else make plays. He's never anywhere near the ball, and he never makes any big hits. It almost looks like he's trying to avoid contact with opposing players, unless they are blocking him 9 yards off the play. Meanwhile, Matt Milano is all over the place getting INTs and cleaning dudes' clocks. Maybe I just don't understand football, but I have to think a guy with that kind of physical talent should be more involved in more plays, tracking and crushing the ball carrier. Especially since he's literally in the middle of the defensive field on every play. What am I missing?

I'm trying, believe me! I am enjoying sitting on my couch sipping whiskey, but the game itself is not a contributing factor to said enjoyment.

This is one of the worst games I can remember watching. Two pop-gun offenses and a penalty on every play. The most exciting thing to happen was the fight, and even that was pretty mediocre.

I wouldn't read too much into one game, especially one against a bad team. In all likelihood, the Bills are still not a good football team on most Sundays, and Matt Barkley is probably not going to clock a 3-digit QB rating every week. There will be a regression to the mean, but there are also enough games left for another big win or two. Remember, it's exceedingly rare for even the worst teams to finish 0-16. Just another example of "On any given Sunday..."

I see no reason to believe Barkley will be any better than Peterman. Why even bother? Oh well, it’s the Bills. Prove me wrong, Matt.

No, they would still be a bottom feeder team.

Welcome to Buffalo, where 18/35 is the best you can hope for.

Call me crazy, but I still think he can pull it together and have a decent game. I still believe he has the tools to get it done, it's just that there is no more harsh a crucible than behind center in the NFL. Especially for the 2018 Bills .

I will admit that I thought he was a joke when he was drafted. He looked 12 years old. No way did I think he was going to be the next superstar QB.

Or, one might ask, what is Terrelle Pryor trying to accomplish with this?

Brady takes a flying purple di!do to the face.

Pats score on opening drive, then Bills D keeps it close through halftime. Pats "make adjustments", then hang 35 unanswered points on the Bills in the second half, during a torrential dildostorm.

No. Instead of building on last year's momentum, they have continued to tear the team down to the point where they can't possibly fill all the voids. Draft picks are always a crap shoot, trades bring in flawed players, and quality free agents don't sign on with dead-end franchises. Where is the talent going to come from? Even if they draft very well, who is going to mentor the young players to become winners? The only hope is if Josh Allen develops into the next Aaron Rodgers. Which is not looking likely.

Meanwhile, we still stink and the Chiefs are the second coming of the '99 Rams.

There are very few pieces in place to build on, and if the plan is to add to the talent pool through free agency, they are in big trouble. Why would any talented free agent want to come into this situation?

Win, lose, or draw, this will be a terrible football game to watch.

Let's just not all pretend this is great news. It's a sad state of affairs when Derek Anderson is your starting QB in 2018.

While Star's primary role is to tie up lineman for others to make plays, one would think there would be an occasion to tackle a running back once in a while.

This is some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen in this room in a while. Somewhat lost in all this is that the leap was good for an extra seven yards. That’s 21 feet of forward progress! I couldn’t jump that far in skis.

Bodine at Center and Groy at RG is probably the best they can do with what's available. Might as well give it a shot and see how it goes, because it can't get much worse.
