It’s crap and you know it.

The OP is on record last week saying on this very site that he’d rather have the Bills throw for 300 yards and lose than win. He actually purports to be a fan but wants the team to lose. Factor that in when reading his stuff.

Watching the first half now. Only one long run I’ve seen with him on the field; got excellent penetration but the whole D slanted right and Peterson cut back against pursuit.

No reason to apologize. Play the games on the schedule, beat the teams you play Memories are short around here.

Sure it’s not. Whatever you want to believe..

You know they can't beat teams they're playing in the next few weeks. You know. But you're not playing Nostradamus. OK.

I thought Lawson looked decent yesterday.

I think it would be interesting to have him on the field along with Star and Phillips.

Some here are more educated in football than me, so help me out on this. The impression I had between halves yesterday is that the front 7 was more reading and reacting in the first half, whereas in the second half they were attacking the LOS and forcing plays. Is that correct?

I felt differently. I thought he hung in there in the pocket and made some decent reads and throws. Not bad for a rookie in his first start.

If you truly are an adult, which you are calling into question, you will realize immature statements like you are only suppose to blindly praise the Bills is ridiculous. You should have some basis for your criticism, and you should be able to engage in a dialogue and debate without behaving this way. Let's take Oliver. I have said in this very thread that while he has gotten some good pressure in the passing game, he has struggled in run support. Let me say it again: he has struggled in run support. The difference between folks like you and folks like me and others around here, is that you are unwilling to have your opinions challenged. When that is done, you default into this kind of diatribe. If you want to have a real discussion, then discuss. Like how anyone can call Allen a bust is at this point in his career just simply wrong IMHO. If you wat to engage in a constructive way, do so. IF you just want to be a flame thrower, then the mods will get involved as they should.

Now you’re just being ridiculous.

Not that old most likely.

Of course I can argue that. It depends on your expectations. If your expectation was another Aaron Donald, sure. But that would have been a completely unrealistic expectation. Oliver is getting good pressure on passing downs, struggling more against the run. He'll improve

It is way too premature to worry about the kid. Watch the games; he gets penetration in the passing game, but is more vulnerable in the running game. Kyle was kind of like that. I need to go back and watch the game again, but from what I've read they changed their gap schemes the second half, hit gaps quicker rather than wait for blockers to get to them. That might help the kid in the run game. I'd also like to see if they could put him outside, with Phillips and Star inside, in earlier downs. He certainly has the quickness to be outside.

Oh no. They have to score in a very specific manner. Only scores where Allen fades back and throws a ball 60 yards into the air that lands like a butterfly with sore feet into the waiting arms of Foster will now be acceptable as scores for the Bills. Any others will be counted as touchbacks with the ball given back to the opposing team. Also, any further victories against teams with a losing record will only be counted as half a victory.

Ok Nostradamus.

When I watch him in the pass rush he's getting pressure, just hasn' t had that extra split second to finish the job. Run game, he needs to continue working. Rather than focus on the negative of a rookie, I prefer to focus on the positive of what Phillips has brought. Oliver will have his place in the line as he goes forward.

So now they have to score points in a specific way. If they score 30 next week you’ll say they have to score 30 with just passing. Some around here refuse to enjoy a successful team.

Agreed They did two weeks ago against the Fish

Yeah. So do most teams. Most teams have positives and negatives.

The Browns can do one of two things this coming week: 1. Rally up and come out angry ready to play Sunday, or 2. Allow dissention to overwhelm them and fall apart If I had to bet, it would be on #2. They simply don't have the leadership in the HC position or with any players to do #1.

You mean you never get bored talking against the Bills.

People were worried about the Jets before the season started, and I recall saying that as long as they have Gase as HC there's nothing to worry about. He's going to replace Rich Kotite as the worst Jets coach in history.

Why do you contribute to the board of a team you clearly hate?
