  1. It’s a combination of things, topped off with the classic anti Bills bias in the media. They’re tired of it and want to move on to newer stories. There are some causes for concern amongst fans though. A few in random order : Cincinnati playoff game 13 seconds No legit WR2 in free agency/ trade Offensive line issues Defensive failures in playoffs difficult schedule tough competition in AFC/ AFCE Chiefs Bengals Aaron Rodgers
  2. I have to agree here. The Bills exit from the playoffs last year was a lifeless thud- in a year that started with huge expectations. An AFC Championship game loss would have stung, but would have to be considered contending for a Super Bowl. Even a divisional loss to CIN could be considered acceptable if it was a closely contested game with a dramatic finish. Context matters here, and the Bills entire organization simply didn’t compete in a home playoff game. It can only be considered an embarrassment.
  3. This should surprise no one and was always the realistic scenario to anyone paying attention. A lot of whining on the board lately.
  4. Nope. Players don’t play for the length of time it would take ( except QBs as they are protected ) to come close while also maintaining top performance. Financially they don’t need to at todays NFL salaries. Players have a lot more self preservation in mind and get out early to limit physical issues down the road. Anything is possible, but I don’t think it will happen for these reasons and probably some others that have been mentioned as well.
  5. Dorsey has a lot to prove, no doubt. He tailed off after a fairly hot start to last season. I’m not going to try to draw too many conclusions from a preseason game , though. We’ll see if he’s up to the task.
  6. Yes. If Josh is the “ problem” in regular season losses, then it’s time to re-evaluate the Bills entire program and probably the McDermott regime as well. I don’t think we are there .. yet . The offensive line is a huge limiting factor in where this team’s season is going to end up. If Allen is a limiting factor - again I believe he is a top 3 QB in the NFL- then what are we doing here ? This team has issues , but Josh Allen isn’t one of them.
  7. Bills walking into a hornets nest here on Sept. 11th. Jets D scores TD late to seal it 28-17. Media love fest with NYJ kicks into overdrive after being forced to acknowledge the Bills for a few seasons.
  8. Makes sense… the QB isn’t that good so go get an elite RB. Bills fans went through this for years
  9. Who wouldn’t want to be an NFL owner ? The Bills have done pretty well under the current owners, so I hope they own the team for a long time.
  10. Great to be passionate about the game and of course our favorite team. We are fans though, and we don’t really have the power to demand anything. Accountability starts with the players, then the Head Coach , the GM and ultimately the one who can truly demand accountability- the OWNER . We are fans of a game , but that game is a business. One unlike any other. We can swear off watching or attending games and it just won’t matter. They could play this game in an empty stadium - heck , they actually did ! - and would still make money hand over fist. The game will go on regardless as it’s the surest money maker in sports, in TV , in who knows what else.
  11. This^^. Yet we have numbskulls saying you think “ blank” would vote for DeSantis given what he’s doing in Florida ? Lol .. He’s only running the best State in the nation , and yes they will.
  12. Never said that. Bills games are different than the others. Even if the Bills aren’t playing , which is obviously most NFL games , I usually have a team that I’d like to see win. Sometimes it’s more a hatred for one franchise than caring about the other team. Other times it may be simply players that I like vs dislike. That’s part of being a fan for sure. It still comes down to a love for the game and everything that goes into it. The poll does say as a “Bills fan of the NFL.” I was an NFL fan before I lived in the Buffalo area.
  13. Just love the game and have since I first started watching in the 70’s. While the quality of the game has declined some imo, I still love it. So entertainment for me.
  14. Yep.. no one has distinguished themselves as a KR to this point. Have to look elsewhere. I think the Bills have been ranked highly in average starting FP on offense. McD wants to maintain this
  15. Dorsey needs to improve his use of tendency breakers and come up with better concepts in the redzone. Josh had to run around and create something from nothing far too often. This resulted in a turnover problem where there hadn’t been one. No excuses for sure , but we won’t have any idea from preseason football. Maybe somewhere around week 5 or so.
  16. Ruben… can’t seem to get past that one.
  17. It’s just a bit early to tell, no ? Check back in around say, Thanksgiving and we will have a much clearer picture than after the second game of preseason.
  18. 1. The OL is suspect.. again. 2. Too many undisciplined penalties. It’s one thing to hold a guy so he doesn’t hit the QB, for example but most were not of that variety.
  19. Didn’t like the performance at all, but are we really complaining about play calling in a preseason contest ? It’s vanilla Vs vanilla and I don’t want to see anything close to what they might do on Offense in the regular season. I want to see the OL win 1 on 1 matchups , WRs catch the ball crisply and cleanly and very few penalties on both sides of the ball. Unfortunately that’s not what we saw tonight. A preseason game is not about adjustments etc.
  20. Pretty sure Mahomes has had less success vs Bengals Defense than the Bills. Of course saying the Bengals are better is the smart answer. Does it matter if he thinks the Bills are “ only” third best in the AFC ? No, it actually doesn’t mean squat in a game.
  21. Nope. The team stunk tonight, but they’ll be going against backups anyway and it proves nothing. Just not worth the risk.
  22. He’s unbelievably awful. Easily the worst President since the 1970’s. He’s barely a functional adult at this point. There was no Muslim immigration ban in the first place.
  23. Gay b***jobs would be considered pornography. As for Maus , I’m not certain. Who banned it ? From where ? What was the consequence of having it ? Seriously , we’re talking about kids who can get this stuff on Amazon, public libraries etc. There’s simply no good reason to make it available in a public school attended by minors. It’s not any more difficult than it is for anyone else. Just go vote. Both parties in all States gerrymander districts , just how it is.
  24. Wrong! The “ experts “ are largely liberal knuckleheads who don’t care much about education. They only care about woke. It hasn’t exactly worked well this far. Public education system has declined exponentially since their takeover decades ago.
  25. You’re right, best educate them in the ways of gay. That’s a tried and true path to success. What a knucklehead! Besides, who the €%## are you to decide anyway ?
