Ah, the dreaded salary cap situation, that other teams can somehow compete, but we are still just treading water. You know what compensates for the salary cap?.........decent drafting, where you only have to pay the rookies the minimum, but of course, if you are way, wayyyyyyyyyy below in drafting and only really "hit" on one player in 7 drafts, well then of course the salary cap comes into play and you end up with cast-offs and scrubs from other teams to compensate. I have spoken.

If he's often injured and can't play for much of the season, is potentially past his prime and just all-around subpar, then he's the guy our FO wants and will hitch their wagons to a huge future contract for him. We're silly that way.

Well, they happen to be professionally run organizations, who seem to know what they are doing and they seem to understand what it takes to win and compete for championships

Exactly.......there is no help coming

What always seems to squash my beliefs and hopes is that.........if the Bills of the 90's with the best all-around roster on D and O that the franchise has ever seen by far, with an all-star cast of future HOF's and HOF coaching, they couldn't win even one SB in four tries. Look at our roster today........does that look like a roster built for a SB? We have one HOF player on the team.......JA (maybe Cook, but that's a stretch right now). There is no one else. Zero HOF players on D and most look like they are even lucky to be in the NFL. No one on this coaching staff or FO will ever wear that gold jacket. Face it, Bills fans, we are stuck in the mire, treading quicksand that just keeps sucking this franchise even deeper into despair. Beane will not back down on his authoritarian style of always knowing the best for this team and we just have to face it, that there is no help coming. This is the team that the FO has built.........we've "hit" on one player. Over and out.

Agreed, however, that's not the style he played at FSU........there are a lot of aspects to his play that needs to be taught to him for the NFL style. His college style was to bullrush CB's/DB's and make a break on the 50/50 balls. He needs to be more of a complete all-around WR to have success in the NFL and that is certainly an aspect that he needs to learn.

13 seconds was the absolute turning point for me.........should have cleaned house after that fiasco

I truly believe that Beane is of the mindset that no matter the piss poor quality of players that they surround JA with, that JA can elevate their play.......i truly believe that Beane believes this and this is why he keeps bargain bin shopping for WR's, thinking that JA will make the WR's good. And, until the FO shows a commitment to actually taking quality WR's seriously, i can't honestly take this team too seriously anymore.

Beane says we don't need a quality WR and he's willing to arm wrestle anyone who opposes him

Here's how my Sundays have been over the past 45 years.......i've never missed a Bills game, never. Whether it was on t.v, at the stadium, on the radio, didn't matter, i never missed a game. I would never even dare to miss a game. The Bills were my number one passion. Here's how my football experience has been over the past 5 years........if i can't make the games or see them on tv, i record them and watch them later. If my local broadcasting station doesn't show the Bills game that Sunday, i watch the highlights that evening. You know what i do every Sunday these days?.......i live my life and if i'm not busy and i don't have much going on and the Bills are playing, i might actually sit down to watch the game, however, i'm not going out of my way to watch the games anymore. Why would i?!?..........why would i waste a Sunday afternoon watching a game that puts us one step closer to the post season and one step closer to getting bumped out by KC, but oh no, Sweats, this year is different.......is it, is it really?!? Honestly, 13 seconds was the turning point for me and i know you could say that this could happen to any team and no, it could not........it was typical Bills and typical Shenanigans by our FO, pushing a mediocre product, believing they are the smartest ones in the room and trying to sell a fanbase a Porsche with Hyundai parts. I have spoken.

Beane should create a dummy account on here, going after Beane that he should get a plausible WR

Be prepared for it to happen every game, until Brady puts together a solid passing plan.......and maybe getting a decent WR wouldn't hurt.

Here's my theory.........we beat KC every year in the regular season and then lose to them in the post season, so it wouldn't break my heart if it was the other way around this year.

I'm talking a matter of time, as in always, as in each and every game going forward. I'm talking that teams will know to take Cook out of every series and force us to throw every single week. Teams are eyeing up Cook, knowing that he's basically our only source of any O generation each week and teams will hyper focus on taking him out of the plays and making JA throw to dismal WR's........if i was an opposing team, i'd do the same thing. UGH

AFCEast is going to be a dog fight this year and i'm okay with that........competition is healthy and creates a competitive spirit and that's something that's been missing in our division the past 5 years. I don't even care if we're a WC this post season.......just get into the playoffs and let the chips fall where they may. Us Bills fans act like teams have the audacity to compete with us and this, "how dare you" attitude, when in reality, teams aren't going to sit idly by and just let us do whatever we want. Teams adapt and progress and if our FO doesn't have the same attitude and mindset, then we deserve whatever is coming our way.........right now, it's Indy, Denver, NE, etc.

I still say that JA is missing the fire in his eyes........maybe married life has something to do with it and maybe he's truly mind-stewing on Hailee's comments that, "he's more than just a football player", but something is missing.

Let's put this into perspective........if Cook wasn't chewing up ground yardage and basically winning games outright by himself, do we have the WR capacity to win games through the air? If teams took away Cook and forced us to beat them with our passing game, could we do it with our active roster?!? We all know it's a huge NO........why does our FO not see this? It's only a matter of time before teams take Cook out of the equation and force us to play the passing game and i'm not confident that we can do it with who we have on the roster presently.

..........couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

Our FO are the smartest ones in the room, and they say we don't need a quality WR........Beane even challenges anyone who says otherwise

Maybe he doesn't trust the system, but does he trust the process?!?...........it's only been about 9 years, so i'm thinking the process has to start paying dividends soon.

If by backyard "birding", you mean stand on your back porch and wave your junk at your neighbors? Yes, i have been known to occasionally do some backyard "birding".

Separated postgame? Look at the two of them........they look like they could have easily been separated at birth.

The only thing scaring me right now is that my wife spent all day making some god-awful soup and she expects me to eat it for dinner. This dinner thing is a true legit concern.......i don't care about the Bengals right now, i care about my guts.

When, whichever one of you that typed that, will probably see fit to give me an unknown usual infraction

...........shocking
