How about being entertained? As a Bills fan they are winning so yes that makes me happy, but if you are just watching the game as a football fan, the games are not that much fun.
Win or lose it's entertainment. It's just MORE entertaining and enjoyable to watch when they win.

I could care less where they sit statistically for anything as long as they are winning. If they keep winning, the points will come and so will the stats. The stats are for gamblers anyway and I am not one. Come to think of it, it's probably why i don't care where they sit in the statistics. LOL!!

You guys need to look at it from Beane’s perspective...it’s a business.
1) We have $88 million in cap space2) We have three or four 5th round picks in the next two years
3) We have a backup QB who has demonstrated some success, team player, smart, athletic (Preseason and Jets game last year).
As a business decision, would you not acquire Eli (if he approved) for his base salary and two 5th round picks (one in 2020 and one in 2021)? In exchange some team gives us a second or third rounder for Barkley? This is a QB driven league and Barkley is better than the QB in Pittsburgh, Possibly SD and NO.
Glad Beane is thinking all the time. I’d love to have Eli in the QB room.
You had me right up until you said "in exchange some team gives us a second or third for Barkley". That would never happen in a million years. I'm guessing a low fourth round pick would be the very apex of expectations for Barkley with a more realistic spot being a fifth or sixth rounder. Your other points are well taken though. I can very easily see this being Beane's train of thought.

I always thought the spleen was essentially just a larger appendix... why not just yank that sucker and pop er in a jar of brine?
Because it's not just a large appendix. It actually performs a major function in your body. It filters your blood as part of your immune system.
Sourced via WebMD:
The spleen plays multiple supporting roles in the body. It acts as a filter for blood as part of the immune system. Old red blood cells are recycled in the spleen, and platelets and white blood cells are stored there. The spleen also helps fight certain kinds of bacteria that cause pneumonia and meningitis.

I didn’t like seeing Daboll ridiculing Josh on the bench after an interception this past Sunday. Tapping his forehead as if to say “THINK”. That made many NFL highlight shows.
Where is Allen’s QB coach Ken Dorsey? He supposedly helped Cam Newton with the Panthers.
Josh has been working for 2 years in CA with Jordan Palmer’s private Company “QB Summit”. They stress footwork and include ‘yoga on the beach’!! Jordan Palmer completed 11 passes in the NFL career and is really a spiritual guru rather than a coach/trainer. Tyree Jackson from UB studied with him before the ’19 draft. Has this helped at all and did the Bills recommend this training?
It appears Josh is regressing with basic QB skills. The NFL teams now have had 2 years to scout his play. I can see him ending the year with the same numbers as last season. That’s not good enough.
It's not like he can walk him to the locker room for a one on one. They are in the middle of a game and Dabol needs his to focus and use his head. Josh is an adult, and a professional QB. I'm pretty sure he can take the criticism from one of his coaches. I could care less what other teams or fans see as far as perception goes. If putting a finger to his forehead and telling him to think is what it takes to get him to progress then they need to do it and the "poor Josh got scolded on the sideline" snowflake attitude it what is causing the game of football to regress into a flag football sport. Don't get me wrong, I am all for safety especially with the head injuries, but some of this add all these rules $h*t needs to stop.

You realize that ESPN has a lot of employs and they all have their own opinions. There is no "ESPN opinion" like many on this board like to believe. Trash a commentator for their views or lack of ability to back up said views, but just labeling it trash because they are employed by ESPN makes very little sense.
Of course I realize that, but maybe i should clarify that I am referring to the staff the handle the NFL football aspect. It's a generalized statement regarding ESPN commentators and writers. There are many on this board that feel the same way regarding ESPN's staff as a whole that they in general have no idea what they are talking about, get facts completely wrong, and many times get players names wrong or can't name the right team they play for. I have seen countless ESPN opinions posted here that had absolutely no bases in fact. They are entitled to their opinions just as anyone is, but when your opinion is based on non facts you lose your credibility. So, that said.... for right or wrong, i stick by my generalized statement regarding ESPN. When it comes to reporting on the NFL, they are a bunch of bleeping morons.

1) No it doesn,t you arbitrarily made that up
2) Not my power rankings, ESPN had them at 30, that is one of the worst then even qualifies under your new definition.
Sorry, I believe ESPN is a more credible source than BigPappy
On #1. Yes, absolutely right, I arbitrarily made that number up, but only becaise it makes sense.
on #2. Everyone on this board knows that ESPN is a joke. My deceased grandmother could power rank the teams better than ESPN.
I am by no means an expert and It is your prerogative to believe ESPN if you wish. On this page however, most would probably say that you lose any credibility as a football fan to go by anything they have to say.

There has been a lot of talk about how the Bills have been hiding some things and are waiting to unleash them on the Evil Empire.
I wonder if it is using Yeldon, big time, as a receiver. He can beat the Pats LB's one on one all day, but HE HAS TO NOT FUMBLE.
What do you think?

I wrote "one of the worst", not "the worst". ESPN has them as the 30th team, out of 32 and clearly in the bottom 5 or 6. I think that more than qualifies as "one of the worst".
I understand. Saying they are one of the worst infers they are a bottom 3 and they aren’t. Miami, washington, jets, denver, arizona, giants and a few others go on that list before them. They are probably bottom 10 or 12 for sure but thats hardly one of the worst.

Both make sense imo.
The Ravens came back and made a game of it versus one of the top teams in the NFL, KC at KC. Meanwhile we had to rally after blowing a 14 point lead at home against one of the worst teams in the league.
The Bangles aren't even close to the worst team. Their not even the 5 or 6 worst team. Not says they are a great team, just saying they ain't the worst by a long shot.

I just looked at it and came away thinking the same way. If we could have stopped the run and like you said hit on a couple of plays that we missed it would have been a competitive game
If New England plays on Sunday like they played in week 16 against us I think we can win this game. Remember no Gronk and now no FB as well to help them in the run game.
Edelman also has a chest contusion. While I think he will play, i think he will be limited and I doubt they send him in the slot to get jacked up and put out of the game.

I HIGHLY doubt they have been sandbagging it just to save it all for this week. I do think as a few have suggested, that they have been saving a good amount of plays and formations out of the playbook though just so they can try and confuse Marcia. The D-Fense will need to be able to get to Marcia and knock him around a bit early in the game to get him rattled. Hopefully make him throw some early balls for INT's. They'll probably have a few exotic blitzes as well, but don't expect much in the way of blitzing as he tends to burn defenses that way. Praying for a big game in a 3 phases of the game this week.

Well considering nothing you said so far was truthful. By your account the Pats cheat and 31 other owners just turn a blind eye.
Wow! You really are stupid. The Patriots have been caught cheating. Their owner and coach fined and your qb suspended but yet nothing i said was truthful. Everything i said is based on facts not truth. As i stated before you as a Cheatriot fan you turn a blind eye (or def ear) to facts. You’re nothing more than a troll looking to work people up. Well sir, you have failed. I can’t / won’t get upset about stupidity. Instead i just feel sorry for you. So move along troll.

I think your tin foil hat needs adjusting.
Not in the least. It’s all been documented and discussed several times over the years. You as a Pats fan of course are def to the truth that your team; including your qb, your coach and your team owner are all low life cheating scum bags that put such a negative stigma on the NFL during it’s early scandals of cheating the NFL had to destroy the proof so that they could deny deny deny.

Are you saying Brady is Goff. Ive seen Brady change the play many times with under 10 seconds.
What are you talking about? No thats not what i am saying. I’m saying Brady was/is getting defensive play calls through headset tampering via headset tapping.

I agree on a close game. I just don't see the Bills D confusing Brady , (it rarely happens) and he will torch blitzes all day.. especially if Edelman is going those two share a weird psychic link lol. The Pats D hasnt faced anyone, but neither have the Bills. (Jets with a MONO QB, Eli Giants, Cincy)
It should be a good low scoring game.. with hopefully no major injuries
Oh i definitely agree. The Bills really haven't faced a REALLY tough team yet. But yes it's hard to confuse Brady, and teams get burned when they blitz him, especially when he has their defensive coordinator in his ear giving him coverage reads. It usually only happens (him getting confused) when they have equipment issues. And before you go all crazy with denials that they don't cheat, it's already been admitted by a previous backup QB who went in for him and he picked up his helmet by mistake and heard their DC in his helmet after the connection is supposed to be cut off at the 15 second mark on the play clock.

Very true! but in the Pats D defense, they only have given up 3 points in 3 games and less than 200 yards a game... thats impressive no matter who your facing!
That's true, but lets face it, they played Miami. Miami at this point is a Pee Wee league team which skews the numbers. Buffalo's Defense is only allowing 16 points and 300 yards a game with an average of 88 yards rushing allowed. The Pats are only allowing 37 yards rushing on average but the teams they have played are horrible and always playing from a huge deficit so they can't really throw the ball all that much. Don't misunderstand me, I am not saying that this will be an easy game for the Bills. I'm just saying that this is really as much of a test for them as it is for us.
None of the teams they have played have been able to generate the pass rush our defensive front 4 has been able to do and I expect our defense to do a lot of disguised defensive formations along with a few well timed blitzes. I am expecting a hard fought game for both teams. I hope for a win but i know it will be tough. If we come out of the game with a loss but it's a close hard fought game and not a blow out, I think that it's really a win for showing the growth of this team. JA is still young, he's going to make mistakes and some of them may cost us a game or 2, i just hope that it's not this week that it happens.

Still too early in the. Season for blanket statements. That said, it is true that even if we lose next week, we will remain a top 6 team in the AFC. But I feel we have a decent shot at sitting on top of the AFC after week 4. Standout defense, clutch qb, electric rb, rookie gronk, things looking up.
Personally, I see Knox more as a Jermey Shockey minus the attitude than a Gronk.
1 hour ago, Artem Lipatov said:I am not sure we will beat them this week. They are looking scary this season. And our new offensive players need some time to play together. We'll dethrone them in playoffs.
I'm not really sure the Pat's are really all that scary. Like what everyone is saying about the Bill, look who the Pats have beaten. Steelers, Miami, and the Jets. None of those teams are doing well on Offense or on Defense. There opponents so far are 0-9 and ours are 1-8. I think this week is going to be a test for BOTH teams, not just the Bills.

Josh Allen haters: a 10 year history lesson on 1st round QBʻs

Totally agree with you and I will take it a step further. I'm not sure it's just QB talent that has been lacking. In the past 5 - 10 years there has been a significant drop in the level of quality talent at all of the positions. At least in mho anyway. To go even further, we may want to hold our breaths a bit longer with Mahomes and Goeff, probably even Watson. Both Mahomes and Goeff seem to be falling apart at the moment.
It may be that Football on a professional level may have hit its peek. I am seeing less and less parents allowing their kids to play the game as youngsters or even at the HS levels. The lack of talent getting fed into the system due to all the CTE fears (rightfully so) and long term health issues to the body the players have as they age is having an effect on parents decision to allow their kids to play.
