  1. It would be interesting to know what, if anything, McD could say to appease you.
  2. LOL he might turn out to be a decent coach but let's not underestimate the importance of talent.
  3. I can only hope he's right. If Gase stays we'll be more worried about the Dolphins next season than the Jets.
  4. It's neither a fair nor enlightening question. It's an attempt by a bitter columnist to make himself sound edgy or clever.
  5. I'm just amazed that anyone follows Jerry Sullivan on Twitter.
  6. So if the Bills put up 30+ points on Sunday and win by double digits will all of the gloom and doom around here cease? Or am I going to have to avoid this site like the plague for the remaining 7 weeks of the season? It's pretty amazing to me how many fans are incapable of seeing a work-in-progress Bills squad that is likely to win 10 games and earn a playoff spot this season but WAS NEVER EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT this season. There are unmistakable holes and they are far from a finished product. My biggest concern, actually, is the bad game by Josh on Sunday, but if he bounces back I'll be satisfied.
  7. I sure hope the OP didn't knock any teeth out when his knee jerked up into his grill.
  8. Yeah, I can understand seeing it this way. I just choose to believe that Daboll and McD are not complete idiots, and they are seeing something during the week we are not. I could be wrong.
  9. If the Bills only beat Miami, Denver, and the Jets their odds of making the playoffs are still >90%. Throw in a win at Dallas, Pittsburgh, or home against Baltimore and it's a virtual lock. They simply have to win these next two.
  10. I don't see why anyone would presume that. The offense is still growing and there's still a relatively green QB behind center. You may think you know all there is to know after 10 games but I don't.
  11. Let's face it, guys...as much as we want to complain about play calling and not getting the ball to Singletary and not hitting deep throws and yada-yada-yada the bottom line is that if our FG kicker hits those kicks we're enjoying a W and moving on to Miami. This is the NFL and close games are what you get unless you've got a dynamic offense. The Bills don't have a dynamic offense and we all knew that; it's not going to change this season. There is still a very reachable path to 10-11 wins and a playoff berth and I'll be very satisfied with that. I'm looking to the offseason and acquiring some more players who can make a difference on offense. Josh Allen has progressed this season -- it is undeniable. There is still a ways to go but the guy is learning to protect the football (mostly) and should only continue to improve. No chicken little here -- it's very likely we're at 8-3 headed to Dallas in a couple of weeks.
  12. Josh answered this question, I believe...said Brown was his #1 read and if you look at how quickly the play developed he really had no time to see Beasley if he was looking at Brown first because he was about to get crushed.
  13. What? Of course they need to go undefeated. My point is that this should be enough to get them in the picture, which makes them an interesting team to watch.
  14. Complete carnage yesterday! The top two picks nationally (NO and IND) both lost at home to (previously) one-win teams. Anybody still alive? I've got SF as my remaining entry in two pools tonight and I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
  15. They can't even win the SEC and they don't have a strong schedule (SEC overall is having a down year). I think it's unlikely, but nothing's impossible. The team that's interesting is Minnesota (in my opinion). They're way down in the rankings (17 last week) but just beat #4 and they face ranked opponents (Iowa, Wisky) in two of their last three (before a B10 championship matchup). They'll probably move up to #10 or so this week, but over the next three weeks could put themselves in the playoff picture.
  16. My prediction: Not Alabama, not Alabama, not Alabama, and not Alabama
  17. Ding, d-o-n-g, the witch is dead!
  18. I realized this morning that I'm now getting to the point where I expect Josh Allen to play well, rather than hoping he does. When you look at his stats over the last five weeks (four games) you see that he is becoming a legit NFL starting QB.
  19. Detroit & Denver? I think the Bills/Pats*** for sure will be moved to Saturday.
  20. The Jets in W1 were a team with decent players...just ask ScottLaw.
  21. I’d pile on here but that seems excessive. I’ll just say “umm, no.”
  22. “Everyone” means different things to different people. Just look at the current resident of the WH.
  23. Dude, find me an NFL coach who thinks playing Buffalo is a “week off.” I’ll wait. Just a moronic post. Sorry, but I call it like I see it.
  24. The whole "desperate team" thing bit me in the a$$ a couple of weeks ago when I underestimated the Eagles, but the Browns are not the Eagles. The Eagles have a recent winning tradition and a SB-winning head coach. The Browns have a bunch of "talented" guys who haven't won anything and an aww-shucks head coach who is in over his head. If Buffalo plays a solid road game (no turnovers, limit penalties) they should be in good shape.
