-

Unbelievable... this year's MVP is McLovin'

I'm just trying to understand how firing a DC in mid-season is the mark of a "winning organization", when said organization hasn't won anything?
PTR
Probably more of my bitterness speaking than anything. I felt that after the San Fran game that there needed to be some type of move (coaching change)to shake up a team that absolutely was quitting in games. It was a poor move by Reid to make this guy a defensive coordinator but at least he made a move tp correct it. My comment about a winning organization was just based on their traditionaly being a winner the past decade. I guess only Super Bowl winning teams can be called a "winning organization". Sorry if I am not making sense... too many decades of frustration.
Thanks

winning organization? lol. They have arguably the worst QB ever.... and... they've won... nothing.... ever.
Some of you are derp derp derp woo woo zing zing ow ow bang bang whoopidy doo crazyyyyyyyyyyy
Then I guess the 90's Bills teams sucked because they never won the "anything" (Super Bowl). My comment was intended to point out that over the past decade they probably have a decent winning percentage as compared to the Bills... Mr. derp derp

Which one is the winning organization?
PTR
Overall winning percentage... Philadelphia. Winning the "Big One"... they are the same.
-
Difference between a winning and losing organization...

shout out for Toledo. Not the most awesome place... but at least you have ...wait...nevermind. I can't stand my old town.
Originally from Buffalo but have lived in Toledo for over 20 years. Not much here but at this stage in my life it suits me just fine. Laid back city, good place to raise kids.
-
When you look at the team's body of work this year... where is he wrong?
-
sully posted a short piece regarding the rhode island bills backers today. personally, i'd love to watch a game with the guy:
I second that... he is very entertaining and a talented writer.

It is pretty annoying to come here after a win over a 4-1 team that had the NFL's longest home streak and jsut see negative crap. Fitz is very limited but he's the best we have right now. And he basically did what most fans wanted. Be a game manager and not make turnovers. Obviously, we need an upgrade but it's not happening this year. So let's just enjoy the W.
Well put, but it is extremely frustrating to see a starting NFL quarterback not be able to make basic throws. Glad to have a win but it does not erase the fact that they absolutely QUIT the previous two games and that, in my opinion, they have a long way to go.

Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but I don't see much talk about the game Mario had. He was disruptive as heck yesterday. Yes, he got 2 sacks, but he was in the backfield constantly yesterday. I remember listening to the John Murhpy show last week, or the week prior, and he had a guest come on saying that Mario was just a sacker and would not really get pressures. Well last night, he got pressures and caused some errant throws. I was impressed, albeit against a pourous line, its still an NFL line. He seemed to be playing with urgency, along with Kyle Williams of whom we've come to expect these types of games. Marcel was in the backfield more often too.
I also would like to shout out to our first round pick, Gilmore, he played a heck of a game IMO.
Go Bills!!!
His wrist must have miraculously healed against inferior talent....
-
I remember watching when he first got here and thought... this guy has to do a baseball windup to throw a sideline pass! Then he played well last year for a while and I had hopes. Smart, leader, etc...
But after watching him this season, how anyone can say that he is not a rerrible passer is beyond me. Most NFL noodle arms are at least accurate in the short passing game. He cannot even throw accurate short passes! I know our options are limited right now, but anyone who thinks he is even close to adequate must not be watching games.

way to be ready boys
-
That timeout helped...
-
Mario's wrist sure looks better against crappy tackles...
-
His mother is ill and he is with her this week. This is per Jay Skursky's chat yesterday.
Thanks for the info.
-
I was looking forward to his column on Monday (I know most of you do not) and there was not one. Does anyone know what happened? I did not know if he was on a different assignment.
Thanks

Please hire a coach that will never, ever allow his team to quit trying during a game.
-
I don't agree with any of the statements you have listed but I wonder how long you have been a Bills fan. The organizations ineptitude and they way they QUIT during games takes a toll on fans. I will always support this team but I have no problem with people that do not want to be fans any longer. This organization has not earned their commitment.
Other than the run during the Super Boawl years this has been a mess of an organization so please stop with the "Holier than thou" fan statements... people can complain all they want. This team deserves it.
-
They showed their "character" by being a bunch of quitters. How in the world can you say this after watching them quit and lay down?
-
The hardest thing for a football fan to understand is when players just "give up" and get steam rolled. It seems this happens again and again with this team. Supposedly, they built a team that would not be bullied, pushed around and end up quitting. Obviously this has not happened.
The old adage, "you can't fire the whole team" holds true. I would sure like to see someone come in as coach where "assuming their identity" would not invovle their team being a "finesse" team or a team with no heart. I remenber having 'run for the bus" teams all the way back to the 70's. It only seems to turn around, at least for a while, with a coaching change.
Losing I understand (lifelong Bills fans understand) but Quitters are hard to stomach. It happens too often with this team.

Can Dareus and Williams really be tired enough to keep alternating lineman?

Everyone has their reasons and their schedules. No worry.
We stayed to the end. I do not mind it some left early. Grabbed one beer and some food with the plane on visiting at the tailgate, The 219 was STILL bottle necked even though we left Hammers at around 6:00.
I am wondering what that guy who was arrested & hand cuffed near on Abbott Rd by the camper exit Hammer's did.
One Sunday night game, in the 80's
Raiders 24, Buffalo 14
Ten minutes left
Buffalo won 38 - 24 !
Thanks Rockpile... You must have retained more brain cells than I have!

Actually Rockpile... I think my old, tired memory was thinking of this game:
The Buffalo Bills opened the 1974 season with, what ABC Sports producer Roone Arledge dubbed “Mother Love’s Travelling Freak Show”. Monday Night Football came to town with a date with John Madden’s Oakland Raiders- a team that owned the night during the 1970’s.
Showing the balance that Saban was striving for, OJ Simpson (12 carries-76 yds) and FB Jim Braxton (19 –68) shared the load in the backfield. QB Joe Ferguson opened the scoring with a 4 yard pass to JD Hill in the 2nd quarter. Oakland then scored 13 unanswered points, on the strength of 2 George Blanda FG’s and a 15 yard run by Raider HB Clarence Davis.
Heading deep into the 4th quarter, the game was a tight to the vest defensive battle, with both clubs moving the ball well on the ground. With 1:56 remaining in the game, Ferguson capped of a late drive as he found WR Ahmad Rashad in the End Zone for an 8 yard TD pass. With a 14-13 lead, the Bills looked like they sealed the victory by forcing a Raider turnover deep in Oakland territory.
Disaster struck the Bills, when Jim Braxton coughed up the ball trying to kill the clock. Raider Safety Skip Thomas scooped up the loose ball and streaked 29 yards into the end zone with 1:15 remaining, giving Oakland a 20-14 advantage. The game rested in the hands of second year QB Joe Ferguson, who only had 4 TD passes in his entire rookie year, but had two on the night so far. Ferguson moved the club down the field quickly, as he hit Ahmad Rashad for the second time in 90 seconds- with a 33 yard TD strike. With a 21-20 lead, the Raiders still had life. An architect of many comebacks, Raider QB Ken Stabler moved the Raiders to the Buffalo 33. George Blanda’s 50 yard kick to win missed, and the Bills took their opener in wild style, Buffalo 21 Oakland 20
