  1. The difference between Brady and Cassel is much greater than the starters we lost and the players that replaced them, even combined. But that's really the point, they had a TEAM of good players and coaches to make up for the fact that they lost their star player. And while I don't expect the Bills backups to play *as well* as the starters, I do expect them to play well enough to not lose to ****ty teams during that time, if they're truly a good team. The Jags game was inexcusable. Like I said, I know I'm being harsh, and I understand the reality, but if we want to make claims to being a good team, we need to beat other good teams when healthy, and beat bad teams even when we're not.
  2. NE went like 11-5 with Meh as QB, and yes they missed the playoffs... but the point stands, they had a legitimately good team, good depth, and good coaching to make up for losing a HoF QB. This isn't about other teams being able to overcome it, it's about the Bills. Every year we have the excuse of injuries, or penalties, or bad coaching, or whatever, you name it. I'm tired of the !@#$ing excuses. A good team finds a way to win games. Am I being hard on the team? Yes. Are my expectations pretty tough? Yes. But I'm also tired of 15 years of excuses. There's always a good excuse and "maybe next year".
  3. Same thing, different year. We need to beat good teams, and overcome injuries. This week is a good test. We have a couple injuries still, and the Jets are a pretty solid team. We win this game, and I'll start believing again. We lose this game, and I'll continue to see the same results as years past.
  4. I think their legality should be in line with any other gambling. If gambling is legal, then fantasy sports with money on the line should be legal. If gambling is illegal, then fantasy sports with money on the line should be illegal.
  5. Indeed it is. Good point!
  6. So different that we're doing the same things this year as we have in the past? Injury excuses, dumb penalties, poor game planning, shrinking in 'national'* games? Sure the pieces are different, but at .500 we haven't really changed the results yet. Hopefully Rex and co can turn things around, though. *NYG @ Buffalo was shown in most of the country, Buf vs Jags was the only morning football game, so I'm counting those as national in a sense. Pats @ Buf had a boat load of media build up in advance.
  7. It'll take a perfect game by us, and for us to not commit many penalties. The Jets will be prepared, and have home field advantage. While I think the Bills have more talent, I think the Jets are better coached. The Bills also have a history of showing up small on the national stage. I want to predict the Bills will win a tight one, but I can't help but feel like the Jets are going to dominate us, because we'll keep screwing ourselves with dumb penalties, and stupid play calls. Bills 10 Jets 27
  8. Dareus will be busy dropping back into coverage.
  9. Personally I think we should extend both of them, not force them into retirement.
  10. I'll lighten up when we make the playoffs
  11. It's one of many measurements, no one measurement or algorithm should be taken as the end all be all.
  12. I'm only outraged about 15 years of failure and not taking the job seriously.
  13. We're .500, we're in no position to 'lighten up', especially after being a joke for 15 years.
  14. We tend to do really poorly when it comes to anything resembling a national tv game. Even if it's a Sunday game with wide tv coverage. We **** the pants when there's attention.
  15. Sigh I liked him during the offseason, but I'm growing tired of him during the season. Enough with the bull ****.
  16. https://www.reddit.com/r/nyjets/comments/3s6azz/rex_names_ik_enemkpali_as_a_captain_for_thursday/ Jets fans are very impressed by Rex's grade school head games.
  17. I just realized... there's no way to for me to see this game unless I go to a bar. Thursday night games are exclusively on NFL Network with no streaming options.
  18. Wrap it up, give him some painkillers, and ice it after the game!
  19. Even the wild card spot kinda feels cheap to me, sometimes... I really want to win the AFC East, and be legit contenders... not squeak in because the NFL wants more games late in the year.
  20. Really wish we'd stop with this grade school bull ****. Just pick some captains of the team and have them go out there for every game. It's not funny having IK or whomever be your captain, it's childish.
  21. The only times the Bills get any coverage is when it's about the Superbowl losses, the stupid lateral, or when we talk **** and get our asses kicked. Sigh.
  22. I'm just saying, he's better on the more well rounded teams he's been on since. Is he great? No. But he's not the garbage heap many infer.
  23. Jets Reddit hasn't been impressed by Cromartie's play this year, so I'm not sure if it's a win for him being out or not hah
  24. He also could be content to wait for a legit contender to come calling near/in the playoffs.
