Wow I dont like the Steelers but I found myself cheering for Charlie Batch against the Ravens. There is something very old school about Batch's mechanics when he throws or even when he hands off that reminds me of the NFL Qbs back in the 80s. The guy played a hell of a game and beat one of the best Ds in football. And this from a 38 year old, 3rd string Qb?

I dont think the Schopp and Bulldog show is painful to listen to as Chans is. I get what the OP was saying about Simon having to bite his tongue along with Jeremy. I think that the Fitz and Chan shows are an example of the company line where the questions are soft rather than incisive.

Funny, I was just thinking about WGR recently and how it has now become what it used to mock, ie the "company line". Do they even use that ad line any more? Anyway I dont think they have completely sold out but all these shows that they have like Chan's or Fitz's are just shill jobs for the Bills. Not to mention they are just dull. The Chan show is painful to listen to. He really comes across as clueless or maybe its the good ole boy accent. I dont know. I would much rather hear some critical No BS opinions by the people that cover the Bills rather than Chan making excuses or babbling nonsense.

Its not a tough playcall when you consider this Bills defence and their penchant for choking with the game on the line esp this season. I bet Chan trusted the D to get the stop on Tennessee as well and they folded. In this game with a rookie Qb pinned deep most people would count on their D to get a stop but with Wanny running the show as badly as he has been, how the hell could you trust him to get a 3 and out?

I'll watch because I'm a sucka and a masochist. Perhaps I can whip my own back with a cat o 9 tails while viewing, that might take the edge off.

It was Chan's inept playcalling that led us to that 4th and long in the first place. No running of Spiller in the 4th?? WTF and then the gutless Jauron call to punt. Pathetic. The only thing that makes Jauron worse is his corpselike deathstare.

I'll admit the defense was ok today but you had to think they would fail on the last drive. I think the PI call on the last drive was marginal but PI anyway. But by that stage it didnt matter if the Colts had punted or not because the Bills would have been pinned deep with no TOs .

How does Chan rationalize punting from around midfield with only 3 mins left and his defense as bad as it is? Did he actually believe that they could shutdown the Colts and get the ball back? What evidence did he have from this season to lead him to this insane conclusion. And yet there we are listening to Rich Gannon call him a great playcaller etc. This guy is a joke.

I wish I had appreciated those teams in the 90s, seems like a 1000 years ago.

Why did they punt the ball back to them? seriously how dumb is Gailey?

Thanks for saving the best for last on the defensive play calling Wanny. You F'ing clueless idiot.

It was par for the course against the Pats. They always get the calls vs us. I expected as much, but today was ridiculous. 4 PI or illegal contact calls in the first half? I cannot recall a Bills game where the D were called that many times in one half not to mention how poor and incorrect the calls were. It really seemed like someone got paid they were so bad.

I feel your pain Bro. The Bills have been disappointing me since the early 80s. They have been responsible for some of the worst moments of my life. (Wide right has to be in my top 5 moments of pure despair I have ever experienced) Yes its pretty ridiculous that us fans are so emotionally invested in this sad sack bunch of losers but that is life as an Buffalo NFL fan for now. Real change will come when Wilson dies and a professional approach is taken from the top down with the organization. I just hope they dont move. I dont think this team is cursed but if you keep hiring incompetent people to run things year after year it starts to feel that way. The Pats were the same as us until their owner changed and they got serious with running the team. Thats why they are a success and we suck ass.

Doesnt matter if TJ runs the wrong route. If he wasnt open or had no separation you dont throw the pass period. Would Brady have thrown that INT?

Shouldn Fitz be sure before he makes that throw? I mean I know its a timing pattern and MAYBE TJ is in the wrong space. But Cant Fitz see that TJ is nowhere near that area? He was at least 7-8 yards away. Dont throw thow the f'kn pass and go to 3rd down.

Now I am angry again. Angry at Fitz, Chan and especially myself for stupidly believing they could come back and win. I fell for it again.

Fitz you imbecile

If there was any karma or justice in the world, The Bills would win this game.

great d . screwed again

Dont worry we will "never" need that timeout later...

slow mo, the ball comes out 1/2 sec before, heartbreaker.

that was a fumble. Seriously why do they suck in you just when you think you dont care and then screw you in the end. Thanks Bills.......again.

Actually that is not a bad strategy. The D is so bad.

Can the D do anything when they have to?

Offense has been pretty good for the most part.
