Haha... With the Bills logo on their shirt, those drawing more closely represented blue and red sheep or meatloaf... Or maybe I'm just hungry.

Hey, That's the kind of post that'll make you friends around here. ☑️ Hates Ryan brothers ☑️ Hates Hogan ☑️ Hates Pats ☑️ Diehard of a (mostly) perrenial loser I think you may have been a Bills fan in a past life. I hope you wallow in sorrow this Sunday right around 4pm though.

NASCAR Playoffs

I don't agree at all with the spirit of this post. Firzt off, fans are not bound to anything, and can change their mind (crazy I know). Just because you think they will be bad does not mean you don't get teased and excited by a great start. We desperately want to be good, and have been shown a flash of possible playoff chances. Then we have the obligatory Bills implosion in primetime against a team on a 3 game slide, in the divison, in an extremely disgusting and ugly way. We had our hopes jettisoned to the top, thinking this could be our year, and then the typical "same old Bills" brought us right back to earth and is all too reminiscient of all those 17 drought years. We have seen this movie before, and the ending is not good for us. Could it still be our year? Of course it could, but history is an excellent predictor of the future and history is not on our side. It feels like groundhogs day, and many fans just want to jump into a tub with a toaster (metaphorically). I hope you are right, and we bounce back, but you simply cannot fault Bills fans for feeling the vice. People saying 4-12 were mostly just tempering expectations so they would not be disappointed. Wins make that fade fast, but big losses feel like a cat o' nine tails.

Clearly capable of what? Not trolling, that is a serious question. Sneaking into the playoffs, or being a honest to goodness consistent real QB? I know the team has other issues, but Carolina and Jets are 2 of the worst games we have had in a long time. Offense looked mighty "drought-y" in both outings.

!@#$ insight, the W from TNF counts just as much as any other. So does the L

Relax, why would I relax? We have been here many times in the last 17 years. History points to bad things. This was supposed to be the end of being ”Billsy", or the "same old Bills". But here we are, still inconsistent, still can't get over the 5 win hump, still suck in primetime, and still dropping 2 of the worst games in years in CAR and NY.

I agree with Ritchie, but Jets had short week too. Excuses. Just our midseason reality check, right on cue.

Is a 5 win start all we are ever going to get to celebrate? Can't ever seem to get that 6th without a few more L’s in between.

Right? Great piece. Still not necessarily sold Rodaks not just trying to get in the ground floor so he can say he knew all along.

Yeah I think everybody would take Benjamin over Woods. Obviously it's a tough comparison though, because Woods hit FA. In this rookie wage scale world, every players gets something like a 2x multiplier on what they are actually worth in FA

Well, we are making progress on Kaep threads. Only 5 pages in 2 days. In June this was a 45 page thread. Gotta celebrate the little victories. Just think, soon we won't even have Kaep threads, and we won't have to argue about this issue where literally nobody is willing to give ground.

Quoted for truth Though I don't care at all about how the fanbase "looks". The ones who matter don't care, and the ones who care don't matter. Plus, we aren't the Browns, so we have that going for us...

It's the flavor of the week. It's 2017, everyone's a victim, don't cha know?

Didn't hear the Beane interview, but yes he and bull were dicks about the whole thing. Talked crap about Bills fans in general, shredded some folks for seemingly innocent optimism, and engaged in wholesale douchebaggery. It was the first time I ever listened to them, but I have the app from listening to Sabres unaired preseason games and wanted to hear about the Benjamin trade at work... it will also be the last time I listen to them. Pathetic way to run a show, especially in a situation like this.

Doesn't matter. They would have to take a hit to the head to trade him in the division.

Do you sit up at night coming up with the most rediculous hot takes on the board? I mean, don't stop it's hilarious. "POWER" move all in caps. Good stuff. But I get it, you really love the Phins. The Bills - not so much.

Sacrifice the yellow and 15yds at a time, and hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit him. We can hurt him. Whats a few flags between frienemies?

Wow. The young heart and soul of their team. Makes no sense. Now they are in the tank and we are competing. Who'd 'a' thunk it?

I'm not above that. I don't want him to die or something, just end his career. He's got the money, fame, rings, model wife that makes even more $ than him, and is a lock for the HOF. It's been a good (scandalous) run, but it's time to ride off into the sunset with a blown up knee or throwing shoulder. I'm ready for an NFL without the evidence destroyer pretty boy.

Yeah that's why I put "best players" in quotes... You make some great points. We do have to get a bit lucky, but as you said only BB has succeeded with this style recently. Josh McDaniels and Chip Kelly failed spectacularly, but Chip looked good at first. There are long odds that this works for us, but if it works... it will be a big deal.

McD is not going to deal with an oft-unavailable super diva. Otherwise he would have kept Sammy.

Yeah I agree with this. I didn't mean to slight any of those guys (though seriously frick Dareus amd Gilly), but was really just pointing out that we "lost" a whole slew of our "best players", but the team is much better without them. Freakin awesome. I hope McD is our 10+ year answer, and early signs are encouraging.

I really did enjoy that, and agree with the OP. The total is greater than the sum of it's parts. The team/family dynamic is working. No Bob woods, sammy, darby, gilmore, dareus, etc..... but doing much better as a unit.

I hear that. I want to believe. I really do. A primetime game against a div opponent is going to be my litmus test this year. These are where we normally lay eggs. If we come out and get the W, it will go a long way to convincing me they will finish out the year with a ticket to the playoffs.
