Who would we be able to get, at a cheaper price that will be a more polished receiver than Woods? No one. If he's at all interested in sticking around, I would try to keep him.

Browns are honing in on Tar Heels QB Mitch Trubisky in the 2017 NFL Drafthttp://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/browns-are-honing-in-on-tar-heels-qb-mitch-trubisky-in-the-2017-nfl-draft/

Sure. Mostly it's not there though.

How could I forget? You all remind us every chance you get. Once in a while he makes a play with his legs, yes, I understand that. Just like you, I root like crazy and go, "Can you believe he did that?!" And then he lets me down in the second half week in and week out, third down after third down.

It's been a marginal benefit at best. It also goes both ways. He prematurely scrambles at will and did so on two third downs and didn't pick it up today. Throw the ball when you have time. What are you watching where you think Tyrod is scrambling all over the field picking up "many first downs"

Thank you for organizing the excuses in bullet form, much appreciated.

You realize there are 32 teams, right? Also...20 is debatable, and probably his absolute ceiling. Stats wise, I believe we're 28th in passing this season.

There has been a vocal minority that thinks Wood is not exactly a world beater out there. Unless there's a penalty or a blatant blown coverage, I don't really know how to evaluate the position so I'm just happy to see that there was no drop off today.

You know it's bad when you resort to a called-back touchdown as the highlight of the day.

Who said that? Seriously, I've never seen or met a fan openly rooting against Taylor to do well.

He was terrible. We definitely won in spite of Taylor today. He was a total joke in the red zone. Most of the time he scrambles out of a perfectly clean pocket. He literally tried to run for it on 3rd and 19. He is hard to watch in the second half when teams bring a little more pressure because he quits on plays if his first read is covered. I genuinely cannot believe there are people here pretending he's a good QB.

I feel like we just did this...

In between that thought and "don't let that man leave the building," I'm not sure there was time to consider anything else like winning.

There are some good points here. I'm not sure the 2014 season was an exception, considering Schwartz is excelling yet again, but that's not that important... What is important is that the front office made a mistake, and a lot of people commented initially on the absurdity of starting fresh on defense when that was what we were best at. I like Whaley, at least his acquisitions and his ability to build a team, but... he needed to have more gumption during the Rex hire. If he wasn't on board with the hire, he should have really used his role as a GM and made a stand. It might have gotten him fired, but sticking to his gut would eventually prove true and he'd rebound and probably be held in higher regard shortly thereafter. If he was on board, he and every front office member that decided Rex was the answer should be fired. I'm serious. It was a remarkably poor decision. Now, for The Big Cat - this isn't because I think Rex Ryan is necessarily terrible (he's very average - I assume we can agree on that) - it's because he absolutely was NOT the right coach for our team at that time. We needed to have continuity on defense. The FO should have tried to see what it would take to keep Schwartz as a DC and find an offensive minded HC. In the event that Schwartz was being difficult and was making waves about being disrespected, we should have made him the HC, with the caveat that he focus more on gameday on defense. We then could have recruited whomever at OC. Even if you don't agree with my plan, at the very least it is a plan...I'm not sure you can say the same about what the Bills ended up doing. I think Russ Brandon, Pegula and any other person in the interview room saw dollar signs with Rex Ryan, believed the hype and did not think about the best interest of the 2015 Buffalo Bills roster. Edit: a typo

Your undying support extends to the front office as well?

Classic Bills bye week curse. Sorry for temporarily dooming you, New Orleans, Carolina, and Gren Bay.

With the way the Broncos and Chiefs miracle wins came in the final seconds... ...and knowing that those were two games we would be rooting for... ...is it possible that the Bills' curse temporarily extended to other teams during our bye?

100% this.

How is that even possible?

I'm genuinely confused why you decided to post this in this thread.

Find where I said that.

Do you know objective means? It amazes me how calling out a player for not finishing makes people think it means you're just ignoring their entire game. I'm not some loony fan because I expect my QB to win with the game on the line. I have no idea why a million excuses make you feel better about his performance. To wrap this up nicely, here is an opinion and then a fact: I thought Tyrod Taylor played great (subjective), however he did not throw a game winning touchdown when we needed him to (objective).

The defense gave up 3 points in the second half. The defense got him the ball back TWICE at the end of the game. The officials gave him the 15 yard roughing the passer after his monster 3rd and 21 pick-up that put him right in position to win the game. In order to blame things like line play, defense, officiating - you are trying to pretend we didn't have a chance to win it. I have said several times in this thread, Tyrod played his best game. He was truly impressive to play like that in a road game at that stadium. I wanted him to pull through at the end in the worst way and just prove me wrong so I can see that he actually can win with the game on the line. I'm not blaming ONLY him for the loss. I'm simply saying, he did not pull through...again. That's it. To deny it is to literally deny reality.

Proof that the league has you right where they want you. I don't care about that game and probably wont watch it. It's Bills games only for me for here on out.

No one should fault you for drinking so heavily after this game.
