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.

I love the Sabres, but there are only 16 Bills games. It's not even a question for me, I'll catch the Sabres on tape delay. I love when the two teams play on the same day. The Sabres are 113-66-33 on days when the Bills also play, and 47 of 201 times both teams have won. Could not find how many Bills wins total, but I believe the win percentage is better than our overall record in that span. Around 55% percent if I remember correctly, but a quick google search yielded no results.

Yeah I will be much more nearvous for this one. A win on Thursday would pretty much signal to me that it's a New Era. We have had starts like this a few times during the drought, but would lose a game just like this one Thursday. Really hoping we can pull it out, as in my opinion it would put us in real good shape for a spot in the tourney. We need to carry W's into the last 5 weeks.

Do we know turnovers will dry up? No, we don't. Often times teams that are on a roll with takeaways last the whole season. Add that to the fact that many of them are from players being in the right place, which is sustainable.

Definitely a candidate. May or may not get it but is in the conversation. If we make the playoffs it would be hard not to give it to him.

The NFL has got to step in. He is the worst, and has been for a while now. Just fire the guy, he is a problem. Always trying to impact the outcome of the game.

Probably one of those that you can only get at the stadium.

So dramatic. You can subjectively say it is stupid if you want, but it's not disrespectful, racist, elitist, or whatever other adjective people would like to perscribe to it. This outrage is a symptom of manufactured victimhood.
