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.

So you’re telling me not to think what I think, but complain that I’m telling you what to think? Right.

He did absolutely nothing. We really miss Epenesa.

That might be a better description.

Much of what you’ve listed are BS excuses. We stole one yesterday.

I see your point. I would say throwing deep back across into the middle of the field is not a good decision. Love the guy but he makes some dumb decisions. They again are not exclusive.

Tried. And failed. Dumb picks are Josh’s Achilles heel unfortunately.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we’d all have a Merry Christmas.

As I said I love Josh as we all do. But the picks kill us. Imagine how much greater he’d be without them.

Yes we are fortunate. And also yes he has to stop throwing dumb picks. They are not mutually exclusive.

The reality is we were lucky yesterday. Josh was bad Josh until the last drive. Cook had a pivotal fumble. The defense let a guy with no experience in the league almost win the game for the Bolts. The only guy that played really well was Oliver. Just admit they sucked yesterday and got lucky. They won’t be that bad every game; I suspect they’ll squish the Fish like Josh always does. But they sucked yesterday and have too many times this year against inferior competition and that’s why they’re in the position they’re in.
