  1. You guys (mostly) wanted to end the streak and get your QB.  You did both.  So why all the emo carping about this season?  It is what is.  Call it tank, rebuild or process.  Deal with it like grown men.  Gosh.  One would think we wpuld collectively have thick ass skin by now.  

    Those bitching - do you really want about 8-8 again this season?  3-13 and growing would be better than another feckless 8-8.  

    Tank?  Nah.  It looks like will work itself out.  Go.with it.  Always forward and never straight; or something.

  2. I agree with OP.  I even want to n8 to start game 2.  Let JA come in with no pressure and leave with confidence like he did yesterday.  

     

    As for why bench TT last year likely because they were moving on from him amd wanted to evaluate in house talent.  My question is why so little Peterman in the late games as that would have saved us time this summer; the answer is that everyone wanted 17 to jot he 18.

    We need to fire Castillo and rebuild the O-Line first before we can truly evaluate our QB's and WR's.

    Our WRs can't catch the balls that are well thrown a lot of the time.  QB I agree. . .the WR team is trash though.  Looked no better than last year and we had traded our #1 and #2 WR 7 days before regular season started last year.  Yesterday was shameful at that position.

    Last season we saw a team that was just as bad, for three weeks. 

    I remember the first four games of 2017 as being a lot of fun to watch our defense though.  I think we had a +16 or +17 turn over ratio after only four games.  Then our D fell apart and was junk for four or five games before ending the last half or so of the season as fairly ok.

  5. They needed to run a lot more yesterday. Saying the run game wasn't working makes no sense as the passing game sure as hell wasn't either and yet we kept at that.

     

    Anyone else notice the 15 yards pass to zay jones that bounced off zay's hands else chest?  Second quarter I think.  Announcer stated the pass was blocked but I rewatched a few times and did not see the defense get his hand in front of zay.  Our eligable receivers look like they did last year - unable to catch.

     

    Hard to have a good running game with no passing game.  Regardless of who our QB is those guys need to fix the basics.  Too many simple but hard thrown passes get dropped. 

  6. Cripes.  How are you guys going to sound when we're 1-3 or 0-4 in a few weeks?  Toughen up.  How are you so thinned skinned after all we have been through? 

     

    Quiz: We have a possible franchise QB right out of college with no oline and crap defense and butter fingers throughout the eligible receivers. 

     

    Question: what is the relevant piece of information in the above sentence?

    True but if they lose like this week in week out it is still a disaster. Most fans will check out. Indy was pretty terrible last year but lost a lot of games due to an inability to hold leads. This doesn’t look like an Indy situation.

    I'm not checking out.  Today was fine.  I didn't get rained on.  I left the broadcast with warm fuzzies about JA's ceiling and future.  And draft picks plus cap space are what the doctor is ordering.  

     

    you guys seem all bent about this - if you actuallt thought the bills had a better than 10% chance of winning today - regardless of starting QB - then you're nuts.

    Strawman. He was promoted to start in the middle of a playoff run over a competent veteran starter. He would have started more games if coach say-nothing could have found even a sliver of justification for it amidst Peterman’s voluminous suckitude.

    That's not a strawman. 2017 was not a playoff year outside of semantics.  They were moving on from tyrod amd it was a rebuild; they tested the telent pool.  Power of hindsight - use it.

  9. I did not change much.  Went from realistic about this season over the off season (6-7 wins) to pessimistic for this season (4-5 wins).  The oline and defense caused that mostly.  RB we improved on since last year.  Maybe QB but way too soon to say that beyond fan speak.  Going to be interesting to watch for sure.

     

    Last year we had a great D in weeks 1-4 and a record pace turnover ratio.  They sucked in the middle of the season and then got good again.  Seeing what the buffalo D looks like on Sunday is maybe as big a question to me as passing game.

     

    Beyond this season - high hopes.  Cap space and likely decent draft spots and two young QBs developing.  We'll see a playoff win within three seasons I'd bet and hopefully upward from there.

    We definitely have a concerning group on this board that can't process criticism of the team and then wallow in despair when the team loses.

     

    That is a highly unhealthy combination.

     

    It's entertainment.........and a product where you aren't given free-market options.........not realizing this and your right to expect more and be critical of bad results is an invitation to mental illness.

    I do remember that there was a definite uptick of local health problems immediately after some of those super bowl losses.  It really took a toll on some.
