Your on the same page twice what are you talking about?
Trying to warn people.
-
So you aren't giving any reason? Just NO?
It doesn't require any more explanation. You've had your fun. Mods, can you close this down- it's clearly not a serious topic.
-
It's a BS thread and you're being captured by it.
-
Actually this thread was a backhanded swipe at the low expectations of Bills Fans and what they want from TT thanks to a coaching staff that designs palys and have a game plan stuck in the 60's.
Damn right I expect 250 passing a game and the ability to throw for 300.
The game plan though is to try and eat up clock with the run, make no turnovers and pray that the opponenets offense is stifled.
Yep bores me.....
Then since you have claimed in this thread you'd rather have them with a losing vs. winning record perhaps you should root for a team that you think is exciting.
Most of us like our team to win.
-
Paul Crewe. Great leadership. Could run and throw. Just so long as he didn't drop the soap.
-
Any game they won
-
Absolutely right an exciting game. Win it 10-7 & go 8-8 in the big picture no thanks.
I was at least entertained in that loss.
When the end result is mediocrity absolutely. The amount of time watching games like the Tennessee 14-13 stinker or Carolina 9-3 loss is a waste.
Answer this one........ Choose one......
10-7 win week 17 to go 8-8 where nothing happens
35-31 loss week 17 to go 7-9 where it come down to the last drive.....
Now extrapolate it the full season knowing the same choices and you have 17 weeks of compelling football and going 7-9 or 17 weeks of boring football to go 8-8.....
Sorry I take the 7-9 exciting season every single time.
This is just extraordinarily sad.

Yeah I seen that I was just pointing out that the idea many fans just want them to lose is false in my opinion , sure there is some that want that for the draft pick but fans want to win in my opinion they are just sick of the letdown of just not good enough when it's all said and done.
I agree it's not many fans. This guy was specific in his desire.
-
Remember when your dad took that cat "to a nice farm in the country"?
Try that.
I like Jeff Foxworthy's approach. Our friend here just needs to tell the family: "She ran away!"
-
I don't think anyone wants them to lose I think many of us just expect it.
In the NFL if a team wants to get better they draft better talent at a position. It's the lottery, you have to be in it to win it.
No. The poster said specifically he'd rather see the team be 7-9 and pass more than 9-7 with a game more like they're playing now.
No I want to see them win. Also am disgusted with myself wasting 3 hours watching a terrible game because I am a fan.
New Orleans vs. Buffalo, I'd rather watch NO everytime given the same level of interest.
NO 7-9 3 straight seasons, but a ton of fun games. I can't remember the last fun game the Bills played.
Last year against Seattle would be your cup of tea then. They had a big day on offense and lost. I'll bet you were jumping for joy that your supposed team lost.
-
7-9 and exciting with a chance to come back and win games vs. 9-7 and once you're down the game is essentially over and no playoffs......
Much rather be 7-9 and entertained. Sorry 9-3 vs. Carolina was a lousy game. Even that last drive was boring. Time of Possession was 2:1, 125 yards passing......
2016 - 9X's less then 200 yards passing, 2X's under 100, another 3X's 200-210.....
2015 - 7X's under 200.....
Ughhh..... Pathetic
Then you may be a football fan but you're not a Bills fan. I know some will flame me for saying so, but to me I don't know how you can say you root for a team when you'd rather see them lose.

I want a QB drafted by my team early in the draft, I'm sick of the other teams backup QB plan all these staffs keep giving us.
So your already making excuses as to why not to draft a QB early, see exactly what I was talking about.
I am not making any excuses, I am talking about what others are saying out there. So stop with the nonsense.
I anticipate them taking a QB in round 1 next year, because despite all the crap that goes on before the draft, and despite all the hype and then critique, teams take QBs in round 1. Whether that is out of desperation or what who knows. But they';ll likely take one, and whoever it is will have maybe a 50% chance of actually being a successful NFL starter based on history.
The idea that you want them to take a QB early, just to apparently say they took a QB early, is to me silly. I want them to pick the right QB, regardless of where. And since I recognize what a crap shoot the whole thing is, if they pick a guy and he flames out I won't call for their heads.
Lets keep passing on drafting qbs and want for the following draft. Its worked out so well.
See above. I am quite sure they target a guy in round 1.

Are you saying she's a Pats fan? You have no choice but annulment.

Hey man all I want is better for my favorite team. I'm sick of the if the D just did it all and our QB just was average enough. I want a playoff run for once, I want playoff games to go to and expect to win. I am hopeful of a QB drafted early but sadly I'm starting to see excuses starting to mount to give them a excuse to not draft one and build around Tyrod. Just pointing that out is all.
If they make the playoffs this year, maybe they stay with what they have.
I would point out that, as usual, the current crop of college QBs that were supposed to be so fantastic is starting to get shredded, as seems to happen every year. Darnold throws too many picks. Allen is not having a good year in Wyoming. The kid at UCLA is a head case. I've read some scouts think the Rudolph kid at Ok St is a third day pick even before his bad outing last week. Mayfield will be the next one to get downgraded.
-
And I disagreed as I felt the offense was not properly suited for him, play calling was lousy and unimaginative.
They bring him back and I am interested to see his play with a invigorated offense and what do they do? They trade their best receiver and set TT up to fail and talk about draft picks and not 2017......
I think TT is a competent QB, but not with the tools and players given and that is the big FU the "NEW REGIME" gave the fans.
I was at the Jets game and it was boring.
You would honestly rather see the team lose and be what you consider exciting, over them winning.
I cannot fathom feeling that way about a team I root for.
-
2-1
For one I am a die hard fan that wants more, for 2 I pay good money for season tickets why would I want them to lose, I'm just pointing out this team is going down the same failed path if they are going to build around Tyrod. It worries me they will skip picking a QB wearing the exact same blinders.
Fitz is not Tyrod. Tyrod is not Fitz. And I fully expect a QB picked in round 1 next year.

Stupid question don't need a answer to
What is their record? You can't answer that one then here's another one: you'd rather they lose so you can come on here and gloat, right?
-
Um I don't know...SMH
You can't answer a simple question apparently.
-
So we should all expect the Chan days all over again with Chan being hard headed and sticking with Fitz. Get excited fans those draft picks next year won't be on a QB because the excuses are mounting of its everyone else's fault. Tyrod your franchise QB just like the Fitz days. I can see it now, next staff up.
Come on man did you see who we played against? Even NFL network was pointing it out. Fitz had a good run to with Chan that showed to be just not good enough. Different staff same results, still trying to win with a QB just not good enough.
What is the team's record? It's a simple question.
-
Nothing like trying to win every week playing another teams backup talent. Not going to win many races showing up with a Prius while everyone else is showing up with Corvettes.
It's like the Fitz days all over again in here, it's everyone else's fault he is a fail. SMH
What is the team's record again?
-
I think the top 2 guys are Darnold and Rosen, then theres a big drop off. Obviously, its my opinion. They wont have enough to trade up to the top 2 spots because those teams wont trade if they need a qb.
But obviously, I would rather see us in the playoffs and be very satisfied. Ill probably be dead because my heart would explode.
But you'd die with a smile on your face.

Listening to a talk show this morning and Darnold is already getting criticized for throwing too many picks this year. Rosen gets picked on for his attitude. The kid from Wyoming is having a bad year. And so on.
Once the dust settles we'll see where things are. But I think if I'm an NFL GM the to things I'd focus on were how smart a QB is, and whether he played in a pro style offense oin college. I'm actually interested in what Peterman can bring since he seems to fit those categories.

What is a giant problem in our country is trying to always think there are 2 answers to every issue. I wont pump you into a group if you dont do the same.
I dont think TT is good enough to be a franchise qb. I dont think he is a good enough passer to keep defenses honest and help us get to the playoffs. I dont think he needs to average 300 yards passing but 187 is not good enough. And nothing would make me happier than him beating Atlanta and leading us to the playoffs.
I will have zero satisfaction if Im right and will gladly make Im the worlds biggest idiot post if Im wrong.
Good post buddy. All the extremes are weakening this country. People cant discuss things without yelling.
And even though I was pretty young, I remember people complaining about Kelly.
Thanks. Too many black and white people in a world of greys.

Youre right about the Lions, though Clay is a better TE than Ebron. But if those WRs switch teams, who has the better numbers? I dont think theres a question our WRs would be much improved with Stafford. And that IMO is what a true good qb does. He brings up the talent around him. I think TT is more along for the ride.
And the Jets and Bears by far have the worst WRs. Its not even close.
Oh shut up. You dont watch the nil is you honestly think TT good enough to make any real difference.
Its actully kinda of embarrassing some of the homer takes that are being displayed here. Twist stats to show that TT is better than Wilson, Big Ben, or Rodgers. Embarrassing.
You add nothing to the board with posts like this. Is this how you argue everything? If you dont think TT is good enough qb to take the Bills to the playoffs, you hate him? How stupid and dishonest.
I don't know if it's possible to find out when certain people post and in what threads they post. I know you could do that back on the BBMB. It would be interesting to be ale to do that if the Bills should lose Sunday. I'm pretty sure there are several posters who tend to be very critical of the QB that have not posted much if anything this week. And if they lose I'd be very interested in how much they post in the coming week. I pretty much already know the answer.
The extremes of this argument get tiring. It does not mean those who think he isn't a playoff QB are haters. Nor does it mean that those who like some of the things he brings to the table are, as stated by one of the mouth breathers above, Champions of Taylor.
Because I've been watching the Bills since 1960, it isn't surprising to me. If the Internet had been around in 1960 there would be some claiming that certain fans are the Champion of McConnell, and screaming that it should be Lucas starting. In 57 years the only time people didn't complain about the QB was with Jimbo. And even then there are those who swear they would have won one with Reich starting.
