Feel the same way. Good game. Agenda driven posters make these threads basically unreadable.

I thought Tyrod looked fine down the stretch. Questionable PI and Jones drop killed us.

Ahem. I stand by my prediction.

How is he going to massage his groin with a broken forearm?!?!?!

The Saints are terrible. There is no way that they beat the Pats. Patriots, Belichick and Brady are at their best when they have a chip on their shoulder. They will figure it out and rip off wins in 13 of the next 15 games. I'd be willing to bet on it.

Keep in mind that LA/Orange County has quite a few pro and high level college teams to support. Lakers/Clips, Dodgers/Angels, Kings/Ducks, UCLA/USC. So it was folly to assume that two crappy NFL teams playing in crappy stadiums would immediately succeed just because it's the NFL. LA is a Lakers, Dodgers, Kings and USC football town. That's it. Hell, even UCLA basketball has a hard time filling Pauley Pavilion and they're the most decorated college team in history.

That game was the peak of the K-Gun offense. We started that season like an absolute steamroller, but by the end of the season teams began catching up to us ever so slightly.

Doesn't bother me. It was a week 1 home win against what was largely considered one of the worst 2 or 3 teams in the league heading into the season.

Yes. I think we can definitely win if Shady stays healthy and Taylor plays a clean game.

I thought Rex sucked tonight. Totally boring and very little insight. Not surprised he was such a failure here.

Just keep running and make them burn their timeouts.

I've got the Bills in my cutthroat pool, so we better pull it out! Bills 17 Jets 9

Mediocre, at best, QB No real playmakers among the receivers/TEs Suspect offensive line Bad secondary Bad depth at basically every position outside of D-line. Tyrod would have to take a huge step forward for us to even compete for a playoff spot, and that doesn't look likely based on preseason returns.

I am a proud native Buffalonian and I've watched them for 33 years. The Bills are part of the fabric of Buffalo. I see no reason to stop watching now.

Exactly. Lol. And "building through the draft" isn't a bold move. It's how every successful NFL team is constructed. It's not like baseball or basketball where you can buy a team of superstars.

I guess they view Williams as JAG. Still, he seemed competent, young and cheap. Assuming no extenuating circumstances, first move I don't really see the logic behind.

Who knows? I'll be honest, I don't own a crystal ball. 😊 I will say I'm encouraged by the fact that they had the brains and balls to trade Watkins instead of letting him walk in a year or two for nothing. That is a very tough first sell to a long suffering and salty fanbase.

Staff needs to evaluate both of these guys in regular season action. Makes sense to go with the veteran incumbent at this point. It's easier to switch from Taylor to Peterman than the other way around.

I was 12 and in my living room. I was bummed but figured we'd get back and win one.

4-12. not sure how we move the ball through the air.

He probably was going to be cut. Better to get something rather than nothing. And I don't think you can really assign blame to anyone. He was drafted for the previous scheme and he was the victim of bad luck. It happens.

Shady is 29. We need to trade him asap if we can get anything of value. I would move him for a 2nd in a heartbeat.

That poster is clearly a Watkins jersey owner... lol.

Umm no. I live in San Diego, and what the Chargers fanbase has endured over the past 10 years is 100x worse than what we've experienced as Bills fans. (letting hall of famer Brees walk, replacing 14-2 Schottenheimer with Norv Turner?, losing your gosh darn team to an apathetic Los Angeles fan base).

Lol. So, we are already turning on Beane and McDermott? (and Tyrod and Boldin and God knows who else at this point) Maybe Boldin is just dead tired of playing football. He's 36! How many 36 year old wide receivers do you see in this league? The guy probably ground through a couple weeks of training camp, his body was beat down and wasn't responding, and he said enough is enough. Especially given the team wasn't going anywhere. Irrespective of this Boldin news, I love that Beane seems to recognize the need to rebuild and change the culture. It may or may not work, but we were heading nowhere fast by "staying the course." A Darnold, Allen or Rosen will set us up for longterm success. I believe Beane and McDermott have the resolve to see this through and finally get us on the right track for the next decade. Edit: Sammy needed to be traded. He was always injured and never would have re-signed here. It would have been complete folly to let him play out his contract and walk.
