You know you’ve hit rock bottom in the NFL when you’re underdogs by that many points.
Yeah, like this is a first?

Shouldn't be a limit. Sometimes you just want to like a comment without commenting.
Agree.
We drove back to Buffalo yesterday and today and was stuck in the car this morning.
Was worried I was stalking or something when I got the limit notification.
Four hours in a car and two solid hours on this board easily nets 10 likes
This will then lead to posts with Like or Agree as only comment which I assume you are trying to limit

Let the rehabilitation of Rex Ryan's reputation begin. The standard wisdom: Rex took a Top 5 defense and single-handedly ruined it. McDermott came in and restored order.
A few of us liked to point out that it wasn't all on Rex. The defensive talent started to disappear. (Who's left from those Schwartz defenses we loved? Kyle and Preston Brown.)
And now: the worst defenses we've ever seen in Buffalo.
Discuss.
If Schwartz stayed, the D would have continued to rock.
Rex is absolutely responsible for screwing it all up with his brilliant schemes and his “ Big Book of Plays”.
Water under the bridge at this point.

Maybe the three straight poundings on defense have shifted this season away from "win now", to more of an evaluation of the players they want to keep for next season. That includes looking at what they have in Peterman against teams like the Chiefs and the Patriots.
The 5-2 season was clearly a fluke. This team needs a lot of players and the HC and GM are just starting out. I think fan expectations need to change back to what they were at the beginning of the season.
A decent sized contingent on this board thought there was a chance before the season.

It's a point. And sensible pro football folks don't start a tank after 5 wins already put them behind 15 teams for the 'draft position derby'.
Do, or Do Not, there is no Try.
Here is the rub: McD and Dennison have to be given credit for the fast start. They did something right but I think they all were surprised by it as much as the fans.
I think this was a Tank/ rebuild from the beginning. As much as the losing would suck, it would feel a lot better being 3-7 right now and not trading away a good pick for KB on what I bet turns into a one year deal.

I was wrong about Mike Glennon. I was also wrong when I broke out the playoff panties after the Bils quick start.
IMO you should allow all EJ supporters to confess, this will help in future discussions when we need to question their vision.
Was I wrong when I found the term “ Playoff panties” curiously arousing?

Which is why he should start out the rest of the season

Of course you were fooled. We all were. And .500 with this roster, different OC etc is not bad.
Hopeful with definite reservation..... kinda like Peterman.
To be expected when watching a bad team with no playoff hope.

Probably is. Hope he lands someplace where he is more appreciated. he is not great, or even good, but he is far from terrible which the agenda group makes him out to be. But you probably still trust the process.
TT went 15-14 in 2015 and 1016 when the defense was the main problem with the team. I think I'd take Flutie and TT over RJ and Peterman. But that's me.
The rookie was beyond terrible and should never have been put in that spot. 5-4 with the sixth seed still in hand and you bench the starter. That is beyond ineptitude. Flutie played very well in 1998 and made the pro bowl. I can't believe how some posters support failure. Another one who probably still trusts the process.
Having entered the season with no expectation of playoffs I wasn’t fooled by the start.
Im also not enamoured with .500 ball. (15-14)
Jake DelHomne made the pro bowl one year and Jethro Tull was the first inductee into the “ Heavy Metal” wing of the Rock and Roll HOF. Freaking popularity contest/ feel good story BS.
Choose one side of the fence but don’t ride right down the middle.

To the contrary, Watkins can run every route very well. The one trick pony assessment is inaccurate.
24 Rec , 4 TDs
I admittedly haven’t paid attention to the Rams other that highlights but those are not great stats for a double first round “ once in a generation” receiver.
Hated that pick the moment it happened

Just now, Bill from NYC said:
I posted a prediction of 4 wins and worse, I was outraged when a poster said they would finish with the 15th pick in the 2018 draft. I was sure they would be in the top 5. I apologize to the poster. The Bills cannot even do a good job of losing.
Ain’t that the TRUTH BrotherBill!!!

I was wrong about the Bills being a 4-win team. Other than that, everything I thought about this team and its players has been spot on.
I was wrong about the Bills being a 5 win team( which came down from 6 after the Watkins trade) . In Bills fashion, they still have a draft ruining win or two left in them.
I didn’t foresee Peterman sucking on such a monumental scale.

The difference between the two bums though was we won with Flutie and lost when RJ played with the same defense and WRs and rbs. Flutie was a winner. Stats are far less important to me than winning.
RJ couldn’t cover the kickoff or correctly review a forward pass.
When you have a top 2 D, Top 6 rushing attack, Steve Christie as your kicker it’s easy to fool a lot of Bills fans into thinking 19 TDs to 16 Ints is a “ Winner” contributing performance.
The same kind of thinking that says TT was a winning QB in games where he got three turnovers from the D ( and still managed to not turn them all into points).
Flutie was NOT a good QB. Put a Jim Kelly on that team and we win it all!!!

I disagree...we could use the extra picks to get the QB- let him sit for a year...we will likely have a top 5 pick in 2019 due to not being able to fill holes in 2018...we then trade that top 5 pick for a kings ransom to help build the rest of the team- similar to what SF will be doing this year
Thinking more along this line.
If we picked a half an o line and D help next year and had a crappy season half this board would be losing their mind. The logic of doing it is solid but then McBean is in to year three before he gets a QB who would presumably take a couple years just to become more than serviceable?
-
Not sure how they could do any worse than that Pathetic excuse for Decensive play the last three weeks.
-
I picked 5 wins before the season, after the Watkins trade. When they jumped out to 5-2 I stated I needed 2 more wins before I was buying it.
Then we played the Jets and I was right back where I started.
I try not to post in the guess the score threads because I’m trying not to be negative but I had a bad feeling about the Saints game.
Not that bad though. After the Saints I knew the season was finished for sure.
Peterman getting the start got me interested but ooof?
Numb isn’t the word, just non emotional as I see this is a multi year rebuild. I LOVE the Bills and I’m willing to wait for my love to come out of the coma they’ve been in for 17 years.
-
In a perfect draft they get a QB, Then O line, D Line, O Line, D Line with those first five picks.
They all pan out and contribute immediately and suddenly this team is 3 wins better.

One of the problems with KB is he takes hits and he doesn’t do it gracefully.

Ron Rivera inherited a 2-14 team and won 4 more games in is first year.
SM inherited a 7-9 team, traded away 3 of the best players who were 25 & younger, benched his qb when they were 5-4, and the team looks worse than last year.
Not exactly apples to apples.
He was 6-10 the first season and only won 7 in his second.
He was BIG TIME on the hot seat here at the end of his second season and many thought he was as a lock to be fired.
He was Ultra conservative those first couple years and the team kept losing close games because of it, as well as, the teams slow starts.
Maybe you remember him gifting us the EJ comeback game when Tolbert was killing us on the final drive. Instead of going for it on 4 and 1 he kicked the field goal( Tolbert would have gotten it) and EJ brought us back for the TD.
He was catching the same kinda grief you guys are giving McD that season.
Season three he became “ Riverboat Ron” and started to gamble a lot more. IE : He grew and evolved.
So, now for the snark: I guess a bunch here would be happy with 6-10 and 7-9.
Not me and I don’t hate a rookie coach for throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. Guns blazing Brothers!!!

Having had the opportunity to watch Ron Rivera go through the first time HC growth process in Charlotte, I hate to tell some of you but it takes years.
Is he good? Beats the heck out of me but my gut feeling is, with the right OC and the right players the potential is there.
There were people on this board calling for Ryan to get more time at the end of last year.
These guys haven’t even run their own draft yet and it’s already time to can him? I think that is pretty hasty.
I’m definitely ready to give McBean all of next year before even suggesting this is a failed experiment. If at this point next year they have had an above average draft and the picks are showing the growth one would hope to see by the second half of the season, I’ll be ready to have more patience .

Hindsight is a powerful thing.
These guys haven’t even had a crack at the draft yet.

Unfortunately OP I agree with almost every single thing you wrote. Not a good situation right now. Major errors were made besides just a bad rookie outing.
Coaches learn but by the time you are head coach you are supposed to know most of it already.
Belicheat and the Browns???
How many wins rest of season?

Colts and Phins
Hope I’m wrong though and we lose out.
Funny how repeatedly watching your team get brutally drubbed can change a persons outlook?
