I’ll explain again. It’s OK to be happy about the win, but to also acknowledge the team did not play well. It’s OK to acknowledge all Bills fans love having Josh as our Qb but acknowledge his throwing picks so much is a bad thing. And so on. These are not mutually exclusive. And that is reality. We won, that’s great. But we cannot expect to play like that again. We were fortunate to win; the next effort like that and the season is done.

What does another QBs performance have to do with Allen’s?

I could care less what they do. What about isms are meaningless. How Josh plays has nothing to do with how other QBs play.

Yes, we played very well the two games prior but almost threw away any chance by the performance yesterday. When I ask why more are not realistic this is what I’m getting to. The Bills have been maddeningly inconsistent all year. As great as Josh is his penchant for throwing picks is an issue. The defense plays great at times but folds too often late (recent trends are more positive there). This team has the ability to run the table. But I also wouldn’t be shocked if they lose to the Cheatriots.

Good point. Should have included him.

Agreed. It’s the consistency or lack thereof that is the concern.

When the Bills play up to their capabilities, no one. Problem is our inconsistency.

Good points. I admit I probably want more out of Josh than some. If he could play smarter and cut down the picks he’d be a Brady/Montana type. He’s more a Favee now who, while a first ballot HoFer, should have won more Lombardis than he did because he was reckless too much.

I told you we had 3 turnovers. Lucky to overcome those.

It’s a discussion board. People post opinions. That’s why the board exists.

I am as big a fan as anyone, certainly maybe the most senior one on this board given I was at the opener in 1960. Just trying to be realistic about a poor effort. I’ll be back to normal in a day or so! And ask them to matriculate next week!

I’m glad they won. But we are basically in the playoffs now and they can’t have that kind of effort and continue on. True. Because the inconsistency is the team is maddening.

Troll my ass. I was there opening day 1960.

I’m sorry, do you actually think the team played well yesterday? Happy we won of course but they can’t play like that and expect to go anywhere.

Some object to my saying we were lucky to win. How about saying we were very, very fortunate?

Why can’t we be fans but recognize when they play poorly?

If we win I’ll be in the first plane to Buffalo. I sat in the Rockpile in 1960 for the first game. No one here has been a fan longer than me. And that gives one a sense of reality. And the reality is we stole one yesterday.

And we’re very fortunate to have done so. This team has way too much talent to play like they did

Yes, my point of view. Others disagree which is fine. Good point

Don’t throw it to begin with

Davis along with Oliver really came to play yesterday. Everyone else?

Of course I’m glad they won. It’s just amazing how many people around here make excuses when certain guys screw up.

Agreed

Last week we ran the ball down the Boys throat for an easy win. Was that wrong? No problem with a great passing game. Josh woke up and won the game for us. But if he and the team had been awake from opening kickoff on that would have been an easy win yesterday. Lucky we survived 3 turnovers for one.

You’ll accept reality at some point.
