I think the OT record is more of a reflection of McD than anything else. Josh has culpability in a couple of the losses and good old Bills bad luck rears its head in at least 2 of them. Good news is that the law of averages has oddly screwed us 7 times in a row. Statistically we are now in for a winning streak!

Cmon the drawing of a giant ***** outside of a building is a symbol of good luck for all those who dwell/work within! How do you think the Romans built an empire! Good luck is what the Bills surely need in their new digs!

Some people will definitely benefit from a Guardian Cap but the people you just described are unfortunately out of luck. No tech will help a person with brain prone to this type of "inside collision".

Smells really fishy.

People tend to pick one side of the narrative and think the other cant simultaneously be true. Is Beane to blame for the sorry state of the WRs on this team? YES and NO Did Beane have bad luck on some of the picks? YES Has Beane done well getting us FAs and guys through trades? YES and NO Does the media have it for Beane? YES and NO Does WGR have a right to hold Beane's feet to the fire? YES Will this criticism get worse now that they are no longer the official voice of the Bills? YES

Despite the Johnson/Flutie controversy, that Bills team should have made the playoffs. The first year of the drought but that never should have been the case. Then Ralph blew it all up with a new coach, players and uniforms the next year.

I think you mean a "shart". But the problem with Diggs might be assessing if he is a "shart at home" (easily managed) or a "disaster shart" at work. Very important in the assessment process!!

Wow I must have wiped this game from the memory banks! I cant imagine why? We were an absolute joke!

Dont remember that, but it could be. I just remember him savaging Flutie at every chance as a "team cancer" etc. All the while weirdly glossing over RJ's avalanche of flaws. I can remember thinking the bias was so over the top that all logic flew out the window. It just seemed really unprofessional for someone who supposed to have a reasoned opinion. The old blowhard "coach" Chuck Dickerson on WGR also hated Flutie back then but he wasnt a legit media guy so I took his takes with a grain of salt and tbh they were kinda funny.

Hearing Riter's voice again gave me some PTSD back to the Flutie/Johnson civil war era.

NO NO NO!! You cannot say that name in here or those positive things about him!! That is a serious blasphemy!!

I really thought at the time when we got Bledsoe that he still not only had something in the tank but also a chip on his shoulder that would motivate him for being dropped for the "kid" Brady. He did start well enough but then cratered. Mystifying that even a mediocre Bledsoe led team couldn't make the playoffs though. Worse game managers have won SBs let alone made the playoffs, but as many of the oldtimers who lived through the drought will testify, the Bills would somehow find a way to screw it up when they had a chance.

Thats his resting "i smell a bad fart" face.

Bulletin board material seemed to have been a lot more impactful in a pre internet social media world. Dickerson's disrespect to the Redskins certainly motivated them when they beat us in the 2nd SB. But TBH they were playing so well and were so stacked as a team that they might have just crushed us anyway. I think these days its such an avalanche that most players tune it out.
