maybe we can all help him move in. I accept pizza and beer

I think a lot of it comes down to the fact Bills fans are a very fickle bunch wired a certain way. Fitz is beloved despite never once going .500 and being a very meh QB, BUT the dude was blue collar as they come and fans embrace that tenfold. That is not to say Tyrod was a hard worker because by all accounts the dude was incredibly dedicated and you never heard a bad word in that respect. But he was also very quiet and not very showy either whereas in the past Flutie who was also a small QB was again blue collar but also very direct and brash. Fans love Josh partly because game 3 of his career he's leaping over a LB. Buffalo is not the sexist place to live and with our winters you have to have some thick skin to be here to an extent. Josh blowing throw guys or leaping just resonates with the region in a sense. By comparison Taylor was a model workman and quiet which is perfectly cool, but fans are fans so that aspect does have an impact. I do think unfortunately a certain segment of fans, not large either but the noise exists looked at his skin color and didn't like that. I saw/heard the comments and the same stereotype crap that "he is just a runner" and didn't like him due to race, despite the fact he actually was an incredibly good passer whose greatest weakness really was hesitating to strike downfield. Again small segment of fans but I had people say things in that vein to me and I shook my head and walked away. As a QB we saw everything you can with him and I think fans by 2017 were ready to move on except the Bills kept him cheap $ wise so it was what it was. I have forever said a better coach with the defense in 2015 and what the offense was doing had an 11-5 team. He was the driver of that and most weeks they were really fun and good on the field. But the Jags game was a litmus test of sorts with him as a QB and you saw his limitations as a QB in full effect. I always got mad at the NFL talking heads who said it was a mistake we let him go as though just making the playoffs was good enough. With proper coaching and talent Tyrod was a playoff QB but he was just a piece not thee piece. Nothing wrong with that and to me he rose the standard after a decade plus of atrocious QB play on what we should want at QB and expect out of the position. I have nothing but good memories of Tyrod and watching his highlights back you realize how good at times he could be. I was front row when he bombed the deep pass to Harvin week 1 2015 vs IND for a TD and it was a thing of beauty. I have hoped that someday they do honor the drought breaking team to some extent and he gets a proper thank you for his three years here and being the trigger man on the team to end it.

Went opening day and have been to Clarence a bunch (I live in Roc but in Buffalo all the time friends and fam their as I was born there). Food was equal to Clarence so it was amazing. Far larger which makes it easier. Parking will forever be an issue there and Empire is such a busy road something will go amiss traffic wise soon. The outdoor section is going to be very popular. As long as they just keep one location in Rochester it will be packed 24/7 and do really well. When the Bills arrive here end of the month I can guarantee they are going to go there.

I have that game as why the Bills don't get the 1 seed and it knocks us to 3 seed as Jags get 1.

Going bold alphabetically, not doing everyone because not everyone is bold ARZ- goes 1-16 with only win against ATL BAL- miss the playoffs despite Lamar playing all year as division attrition and WC tie breaker vs Jets haunts them CAR- wins division at 10-7 CHI- only go 6-11 and Fields ends up being a more glorified runner then passer and again CHI has to ask what to do at QB DAL- make the SB DET- fail to win division and barely make playoffs at 9-8 (MIN wins again at 10-7) DEN- win the AFC W at 11-6 GB- go 5-12 as the bottom falls out for real and Love is not the answer. welcome to QB purgatory JAX- take AFC 1 seed at 13-4 LAC- implode at 6-11 and Staley is fired LAR - bounce back to a 9-8 record and just miss wildcard MIA- Tua plays all 17 games and they go 11-6 winning a game in the wildcard NYG- luck smiles the opposite way as they go 7-10 and are never really close to being in the hunt at any point NYJ- make the playoffs as the final WC spot but get bounced in first round after blowing a 20-3 lead at halftime PHI- the NFC East finally sees a division winner repeat as the Eagles repeat but lose in the divisional round to Dallas at home PIT- The non losing season run ends as they go 6-11 as Pickett fails to take the next step and being in a tough division wrecks havoc as they finally finish 4th SEA- they win the NFC West and 1 seed at 12-5 SF- they make the playoffs but as a wild card as 10-7 as QB uncertainty finally catches them a little WSH- New ownership brings in a new era... but the results on the field are worse as they go 3-14 and end up picking 2nd in the draft

That is bold haha I wish you lived in Rochester so I could meet you at a bar to discuss these for an hr. I don't think you are wrong I just want to hear your logic out.

For real. The list I made I listed myself top 50

This is kind of the spot on point. Losing the most important game four times is bad. Doesn't me the era and winning through out it + relevance wasn't fun, but the you lost four times the most important one of them all which in turn has cast a shadow that hangs to today. It was bad losing four in a row.

I need a version with red or white helmets (do both lol). The uniforms are actually pretty slick, but too giants esq with blue helmet.

Can we hang a 29th banner?

This is pretty on spot. My posting and interactions have dropped dramatically because of the fact far more threads since the Cincy loss have been just hot takes or outrage without much substance. TBD is at its best when you can read and have thoughtful discussion that either adds perspective or at least is well based arguments. Since the CIN loss far too often things have resembled facebook political discourse which is a tire fire the moment it is posted. I really do not care if your opinion is negative, but if your going to post back it with some actual rational and facts. Far too often the posts for example are "The Bills Are Faltering" and then literally it is two sentences of gibberish rather then maybe adding the division is tougher, stats on injury recovery, the numbers on first year TE's are not stellar for offensive production etc..

I actually fully agree with you it has gotten really bad... BUT for the sake of fun, F*CK YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO

It went from reasonable points to nuclear in a blink of an eye

Eat Crow: Your most embarrassing Bills opinions
corta765 replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
-EJ Manuel was a franchise QB, I bought it hook line and sinker -Should've drafted Rosen and Allen would be a massive flop if they did draft him. I was so mad when they drafted Josh I left the draft party we were at -I once wanted Brandon Weeden -In 2021 I wanted Hyde gone after season as I thought his skills were down as he missed a few big plays... then proceeded to INT vs NE playoffs and yeaaaa -I thought Marrone was going to be BB 2.0 -
They had the best offensive performance in NFL history vs NE when it was frigid. CIN game was one game, they beat BAL in a similar cold slugfest. I will always take home games first, but I do have confidence with them on the road.

So just a reminder not winning the AFCE is not the end all be all. Bucs won the SB in 2020 despite being a Wild Card and beat the Saints in their house who won the division that year. Rodgers only SB win came as a Wild Card. Steelers won the SB with Big Ben as a wild card in 2005. Elway's first SB in 1997 actually was as a WC team that beat ironically the Chiefs in their house who won the division. It is not uncommon at all for Wild Cards to make runs, generally though it is a top QB that drives that train which we have in Josh. This is the most resistance Buffalo has faced on paper heading into a season since 2019 in division. The run NE had for the division was unprecedented in NFL history and won't be repeated as much as I would love Buffalo to. Not saying this year Buffalo won't win the division I think they are still the favorite at this time, but the resistance is real at least heading into the season.

Is this year make or break for McDermott?
corta765 replied to CountDorkula's topic in The Stadium Wall
It will take more the one non playoff year for McD to be canned. Pegula has seen under McD the team go from nothing to yearly contender that wins a lot and is a major national brand right now. No way he is touching that unless there is years worth of regression. Now for me I would not say this is a make it or break it year, but if he fails to breakthrough again or worse does miss the playoffs I think 25' for me would be make it or break it at that point. Josh still has a lot of prime years left and if after 25 the result is the same you make the move finally so you can get a different voice and leader while you still have Josh at some good years. -
Honestly I am not sure I have an NFC team I have a real rooting interest though. I root many times for the story like Brees and the Saints SB run, Cards run in 08, SEA was really fun in 13', or the G-Man knocking the Patriots both times. By the same token I have rooted against these teams later on also haha. Detroit I have empthay for but I would never want them to win before us. Minnesota might be the closest I have any rooting interest as my buddy is a huge Vikings fan so for him I pull for them. The Rams might be the team I have a real like for as their history is pretty awesome, their colors and unis until recently are amazing, and I like what they are as a franchise. But again it is not breaking my heart if they lose. Ironically if I had a second team it might be the Raiders which is probably against the rules, but I loveddd Rich Gannon as a kid and the Gruden Raiders. I have his autograph on a picture and a Raiders hat. The brashness of what they are and culture always was super awesome to me. So as long as Buffalo is not losing to the Raiders I generally pull for them a bit.
