Great...a heroic push to 9-7. That'll get everyone geared up for 2017!
If they get to 9-7 we get to endure another offseason on TSW of "if we were 9-7 with what we had and we added these guys in the draft....we will therefore better!".
The MINIMUM standard for success in a season is reaching the playoffs.
It's possible to build something, however little, off of that.
Short of that though any record with a 7, 8 or 9 in it is essentially all the same mediocrity.

Yes he did; he even showed some mobility to his game that I wouldn't have guessed he had.
Although we should temper things by recognizing that the Bills were very conscientious about giving him help and keeping him out of situations where he was on his own against better players. I also thought it was really weird that the Bengals apparently made zero effort to take advantage of a a situation that was begging to be taken advantage of. They spent all day virtually ignoring both A gaps or showing any looks designed to create problems in the Bills interior OLine.
I got the feeling that possibly because of the short week they didn't do much gameplanning for the Bills. Looked like they just wanted to use the one they drew up last year. Except this time the Bengals didn't have AJ Green, Sanu and Marvin Jones and the Bills had Tyrod and a running game and the defense wasn't as easily confused by the Bengals motion. It was a victory but a very underwhelming effort coming off of a bye.

The pats went to 2 other SBs without Revis and lost neither because of not having him, nor did they win their last SB because of him.
You mean those two SB's where Eli Manning and his cast...... Plaxico, Tyree and Manningham........rained on their parade with critical late game plays in the passing game?
The SB they won........they made that play at the end. Thanks in great part to Revis taking one side of the field away and fellow FA Browner identifying and jamming the combination route that allowed Butler to get in front of that pass.

Lighten up?
you have a wonderful way with words.
He didn't die?
well thanks goodness for the that!
When a player goes down I see no reason whatsoever to harp upon his faults. Plenty of time for that offseason.
You nearly intend it is his fault his leg is broked. You are one twisted up dude.
His season is over. It must hurt like hell.
sure you are reasonable about evaluating football. But you have very little compassion.
I said that in the heat of the moment in an attempt raise his game........a rare moment with heat for a Buffalo Bill.......he may have broken the routine that was keeping him in one piece.
You want to take it as a criticism of Wood but it's not.
Wood is not why they lose games.
The reality is that when you have almost an ENTIRE roster full of players who have never been starting players on successful NFL teams it shouldn't come as a surprise when big moments yield unusually poor results.
-
There are still 2 AFCE teams that Revis has yet to rip off for a year or two. Why not make out three?
Git 'er done Terry....
Revis didn't rip the Pats off.
That's the only SB they've won since 2004 and it's no coincidence that that was the year that Belicheck went all in on free agent corners that offseason.
The one thing we as Bills fans have to be thankful for regarding the Patriots is that post being punished for video-taping opponents they have failed to win SB's commensurate with their relative dominance.
Belichick giveth on the chalkboard but he also taketh away with his perculiar stands on personnel.
In fact, if their success timeline had begun after 2004, their single narrowly-achieved Lombardi in 11 seasons of dominance would be viewed in an Atlanta Braves-esque "unfulfilled dynasty" fashion.
-
Now is not the time to critique his play Badol. Guy just went down and is out for the season. I think we could save it for another time perhaps?
It's an observation with speculation....not a critique.
I've been complimentary of the adjustments he's made to keep himself healthy.
He isn't a physically dominant "phone booth" blocker and early in his career, before he learned his limitations, he did a lot of ill advised things that kept landing him on the shelf.
He broke a leg once trying to benchpress a DT then blew a knee once unnecessarily chasing a play looking to dust off a pile etc..
His job is to make line calls, execute snaps and direct opposing lineman away from the ball.......anything else is an unnecessary risk for a guy who has had some serious lower leg issues.
As for the timing of it.......lighten up.....he didn't die, he's on IR.
-
There is zero chance I'd move Henderson. This team needs a starting RT next year, and I want both he and Kouandjio in the mix.
Yeah trading him would have made no sense.
He's an undisciplined, unaccountable turd but he's also very talented and has room to grow......... if the talent on that OL ever comes together this could be a thoroughly dominant OL.
And beside, throwing one turd off of this team is basically the proverbial deck chair/titanic scenario.
The foundation here is not character.......it's talent. The hope is some of these guys mature and get focused because if they gotta' clean house that will be painful.
And frankly, I don't blame Whaley for all of these turds........I think that every team in the AFC East is trying to bludgeon the Pats with sheer force of talent because they know that the deck is otherwise heavily stacked against them.
Trying to out-Patriot the Patriots is a lost cause.
-
Things that make you go hmmmmm
We've been kicking this idea around in a couple different threads for a while now.
I think it makes A LOT of sense, especially if the Jets go into the offseason as uncertain at QB as they are now.
If it looks like a rebuild the Jets have less incentive to painfully extend and renegotiate his deal and he has less reason to want to stay.
-
He couldn't be worth more than a 7th or conditional 6th on the trade market, right? I say just keep him.
Yeah that interest was probably a CONDITIONAL 6th or 7th at best.
Players in the drug program have drastically reduced trade value.
He has more value to the Bills than anyone else.
-
Den and KC winning is a killer. Unless Bills sweep the final 7 games, forget playoffs
Yeah that was an epic couple of last second disasters for the Bills playoff hopes.
Both AFC wildcard teams are now likely to have 11 wins.
-
He said on an interview that he had made his initial block and was looking to go forward and get out to the second level and grab an LB, but the DT he was up against kept him in place allowing the washout behind him and to the side to get to his planted foot/leg.
Yeah it wasn't just an anchor and snap like the last time his leg got broken, this time he got rolled up on while engaged. I just wonder if he wasn't anchoring more than normal because of the gravity of the situation. Pushing DT's back isn't really he's thing. Just speculation but that play was one of the more intense moments the Bills have been in during his entire career. Sad to say......but moments like that are scarce for the Bills.
I'm with you on this point, #BADOL...I think Lewis will do fine as a replacement for the rest of this season. I'm more worried about Mills.
It's a slap in the face......deserved or not.......to the coaching staff when guys that aren't playmakers are cited as irreplaceable.
And heres's another thing........if sh*t gets REALLY bad at center.......move Incognito to center. He was a good center.
-
Aaron Williams may have been the most underrated player on this team. They are a much different team when he plays. AW covers a lot of deficiencies.
I guess the story is Lorax and Zach have more than panned out and Blanton has been a bust.
If they were actually counting on AW to be available then that was an awful decision.
And fwiw, AW hasn't made plays for a few years now so replacing him shouldn't have been this difficult.
Been reading the 17 draft is supposed to be strong at safety.
Drafting a safety early this year should help......in 2018 or 2019.
Rex last first rounder in NY was Calvin Pryor and he looked impact ready.......a slam dunk tremendous prospect coming out of college........but he was LOST in Rex D as a rookie.
Drafting for need is usually ill advised but ESPECIALLY at that position in Rex D.
Gotta' take some shots in free agency to find that Jim Leonhard type to replace AW and/or pick up Revis to play safety when the Jets cut him.

Buffalo News Sports Retweeted Eric Wood
.@viccarucci's post today on the effect of @ewood's injury on the #Bills: http://bit.ly/2fmhW4G
OMG cry me a river Vic.
Lewis stepped in and was the starting center for the Seahawks when they made a late season playoff push. If he was good enough to do that for a team that could easily have reached the SB then there shouldn't be a ton of excuses here with the 4 other OL still intact.
Wood has been a good player in this scheme and he's likely to be missed but everyone has injuries and losing Wood does not change your identity like losing Tyrod or Sammy does.
One of the key factors in having a dangerously mobile QB is that it takes a ton of heat off of the interior OL.
I've made the Jerry Ostroski point here before........teams are reluctant to pressure mobile QB's up the middle for fear of losing contain and the very mediocre Jerry O turned the advantage of being Flutie's center into a lucrative contract.
There is no question in my mind that the combination of Tyrod and the Roman scheme has elevated the perception of Wood greatly. Under Marrone and Gailey he wasn't nearly as good. Heck, two years ago he even thought he might get cut.
Speaking of Wood's injury........I think the key to his longevity has been playing within himself. He hasn't been an "anchor" type center for many years now and I think it's possible that in the heat of the moment......in a "high leverage" intense situation.....a rare situation for a Bills player........he was trying to do more than normal and that might have lead to another broken leg.
That's just my speculation but he's noticeably been on skates in goal line and short yardage very often in recent years which I attributed to concerns about his frequent early career leg injuries.

Who is the Major?

This also costs San Diego its Comic Con, the event is getting too large and will move to LA or Vegas without the new Stadium downtown.
Qualcomm is the biggest piece of **** in the league, New Era was built around the same time but the renovations make a world of difference.
Comic Con Vegas sounds good.

I don't think "thug" is the racially motivated term in what she said (though it is true that I am unexposed to any additional inferences that word may have that relate directly to American social history) the racially motivated bit is the comparison to an animal.
I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that it was simply a clumsy, unthinking, use of language from someone who was in the heat of the moment dealing with the prospect of a loved one suffering serious pain and if she has since amended her tweet then I afford her that benefit. Intentional or not though, you liken an African American individual to an animal you cannot have too many complaints when people label you a racist.
Yeah as a white person you have to be cognizant of it and avoid such references.
In defense of her though calling an ill behaved man an "animal" is such a common go-to for women that it seems almost like an involuntary female reaction. Women of all color do it about men of all color. Why? I think the intention is to cut deep........and perhaps it would be much more effective on another female?...... but it has little or no impact on men whatsoever. It's an utterly discounted insult.
-
I agree with that. Maybe not a full 5 years, but yes, we should be getting more out of it. Having Tyrod is a step up, so that helps if he can play like he did in Seattle and we can get healthy (and stay eligible). I fear the injuries get Rex more time, but maybe that's worth one more year.
I really want Tyrod to be good..........but I will believe he can play consistently like he did Monday night when I see it.
I'm not comparing his play to Rob Johnson but when engaged Rojo could really elevate his game.....vs Flutie in SD was a CLASSIC battle, for example......but most of the time he was just an uninspired performer.
The Tyrod we saw Monday night seemed a lot more fired up than normal. Hopefully it's a corner he's turning but it wouldn't surprise me if it's back to the modest, uneven performances.
-
I think you overestimate the Bills talent and underestimate the importance of QB play in getting the most out of players.
No.....this Bills roster is talented.
They've had playoff level talent.....top 12......for about 5 years running now.
Quarterback play has been an issue but getting production from that position isn't only about the player.
The coaching has been consistently substandard.
I am also a big believer that a team with a deeply ingrained losing culture often needs to develop an overwhelming amount of talent to force their way into the equation.
The Bills are always a couple pieces short of that level but if you really look closely at some of the better teams in the league they are usually getting a ton of production from modest "nobody" kind of talents filling the gaps in between their star players.
-
I mean, I'm not really trying to run around in public calling a black guy an animal that needs to be castrated. Or a thug.
It all carries a certain tone and implications that I'm just not trying to put out there, intentional or not
Yeah the castration thing is a bad look whether it's intentionally racist or not.
The fastest way to silence an argument is to dehumanize the person you are arguing against........we see it here on TSW plenty......and you gotta' be aware that it's racism 101 to equate other races to animals when you are or are perceived as "white".
And Sherman is absolutely not a thug.
He's a bi-polar, 3/4 crazy mofo who loses his mind in competition and will probably die from a self-inflicted gunshot wound post career.........but he's not anything close to a thug and would love to have him on my team.
-
Fwiw........the Seahawks are fielding an utter sh*t show on the OL.......but they are winning.
When a coaching staff does it's job well and gets a team on the same page they can create synergy.
The Bills are traditionally a team that gets LESS than the sum of it's parts.
-
They were great throws.
They weren't 60 yard bombs. The Seahawks were moving the ball at will prior to those throws.
The secondary blows all of a sudden. The front 7 blew last year all of a sudden.
Call me crazy, but I think coaching has something do with the defense struggling.
Ultimately.......it is the fault of Rex Ryan.
The Bills don't have bad CB's..........they are just playing awful and much of that is on the coaching staff.
It could simply be that the least engaged head coach in the NFL wants his defensive players to be the hardest working and most prepared.
The HC sets the tone.
If he's a loaf like Rex.......then he needs to be putting together manageable gameplans.
Wade Phillips is not a coach that lives in the office and he does it just fine..........defense doesn't have to be rocket science but if you expect it to be you need to be working your ass off to break it down so your players can execute it.
-
Isn't this the kind of thing that we (or at least I) thought Bowles' team was above?
I'm (seriously) shocked at this...
I hope they tear it down again this offseason.
I expect short of an unforeseen scandal Rex is back.......and the Jets will have a big decision on Revis so maybe Revis comes in and fills that safety void in Buffalo?
-
I'll say the 1993 Cowboys.
Over the past 10 years, the only teams even close to the conversation IMO would be the 2007 Pats and 2013 Seahawks. Ridiculous how watered down the league is today.
2013 Seahawks.
Those Niners/Seahawks battles were so great to watch........extraordinary football.
Just a lot of parity.......most of the out of touch owners have moved on to the afterlife and now the playing field is pretty level so teams like the Bills aren't there to be the farm system for certain teams and throw the competitive balance off.
-
Fox just put mark Ingram Yelling "what the f*** wrong with these n*****" on tv pretty clearly after his 75 yard run
Ooops!
I heard it.........Ronde Barber said Ingram was excited as he could be right now.
Reminded me of former WVA RB Amos Zereoue getting caught screaming "Sending n****** to the weight room!" as he crossed the goal line during senior bowl game.
