I'd say if you lose by multiple scores, that's a pretty convincing loss in the NFL.
But for this Bills team and regime, this is their first time playing in Foxboro. We'll see how they do.

He is 33 years old. I don't want that.

the bolded part is 100% spot-on. We have a right to be "upset," or "frustrated," but calling Bills fans negative is ridiculous. I can't think of another sports team that would sell out or even have as many fans in the stadium (or a message board as passionate as this) after 17 non-playoff seasons!
He wasn't talking about all Bills fans. He was talking about the rare few who are ridiculously negative, who no longer have the ability to enjoy a win and who want to fire the coaches for punting, or who want them to lose as many games as possible to get a higher draft pick, or who don't want the team to make the playoffs because they might get beat.
Those ones. If that is you, then yes, they were talking about you. And they were right.

Do we need yet another thread on this topic that has been beaten to death numerous times?
Tyrod is not an effective passer. The coaches try to cover that up by running the ball as much as possible.
The end.

Those who think that John Murphy is always positive about the team are wrong. He spends half the time talking about deficiencies. I guess what makes him different is he doesn't complain or cry about it, or use the past 17 years to explain it. He has said time and time again that this Bills team has serious problems and lacks talent. He is a fan and wants the team to do well and still has hope that they will.
Donald Jones, who I am not a fan of on the show, almost exclusively has negative things to say about Tyrod Taylor, always talking about his inability to throw the ball well, albeit in as positive a fashion as he can.

They weren't really targeting Bills fans in general. They were targeting the rare few who do not have the ability to enjoy wins anymore because of the perceived "mistakes" that the coaches or organization have made, such as punting when they think they shouldn't have. Also fans who think they should stop winning games so they can get a better draft position, when they have a serious shot at getting in the playoffs, or because the Bills might lose in the playoffs anyway.
Bills fans can be negative all they want, but I completely agree with John and Donald and the fan from LA. The Bills should always try to win games. That is their job. And we as fans should enjoy it when they do win.
The problem is that some fans can ONLY see the negative and refuse to enjoy the team winning because of their decision to hate the coaches and GM because of moves they have made, or to hate Tyrod because of his deficiencies, etc.

From the offense. You would think by accident any NFL QB can throw for 300 yards in a game.
I've posted this again and again and am just confounded, perplexed and stupefied that this team can't/won't have a game plan that has them throwing for 300 yards (heck 250 would be something) EVER!!!!!
The NFL over and over is a game that comes down to getting the ball in the endzone and being CAPABLE of throwing the ball.
There is not a single team that can count on winning games 20-17 that has any chance for success.
Why do we have a coaching staff who refuses to recognize this?
And no it is not all TT's fault.
Wow. The Bills are 8-6 and have a good shot at getting in the playoffs.
They have serious deficiencies at a lot of positions, including QB. The coaches are doing what they can with a team that lacks talent.
And, by the way, it is working. We had no business getting to 8 wins with all the changes and turnover of the roster.

Lattimore gets in, but Tre White doesn't. Probably a sign of how the DROY voting will go. :-(
Popularity of the teams is the only reason. I think White deserves to be in. Super happy for Micah Hyde, though. Bills fans had high expectations for him and he has exceeded him. Poyer has been solid too. Really unexpected for us to have two quality safeties. We all thought that would be a weak position group.

Beside kicking our azzes again in game 1 this year, him being out due to the late hit caused a loss for them in Miami, had they won there, they may have been in dial it back/rest some starters mode this week.
I was actually glad they beat Pittsburg, had they lost they would have been at home with an ax to grind after a 2 game losing streak. Now we will see how hard they play when the seeding still is not set, we only beat them twice at home in the last 15 or so years, when they rested their starters.
Nobody rests their starters until the last game. That was NEVER a realistic hope.

The hope, as you have to relate to and feel for Browns fans, is that they hired the right guy to run the show and Haslam steps away from day-to-day team operations. If they end up with two of the top 5 picks and walk away with an elite QB and RB, as I believe they go Rosen-Barkley, not to mention all of their picks to stock up on in the later rounds, this team should be truly elite within 3 seasons. They drafted well last year and loaded up the OL with some savvy spending in the offseason, they are absolutely on an upward trend. Now, about that coaching staff....
Bull crap. The Browns have had loads of high picks for the past few drafts and have done basically nothing with them.
They suck, and will continue to suck for the foreseeable future.

Build around Tyrod? No. McCoy is no spring chicken and will only be around for another year or two, which means then we won't have an elite, fringe HOF running back to distract defenses.
But, you can bring Tyrod back for another year and pick up a ton of non-QB talent, even draft a QB if you really like one that you can get. This team lacks talent across the board, especially the front 7 on defense and the offensive line.
Tyrod is the perfect stop gap QB. He doesn't turn the ball over and can pick up 3rd downs with his feet, and occasionally make a throw. But you eventually have to attempt to find a top 10 talent who can throw the ball all over the field.
Hard to tell if Dennison is a problem or if it is just a bad fit for Tyrod. I doubt they move on from him after just one year. We'll see.
5 minutes ago, BillsfanAZ said:Good point. To me a great game by a QB is where he shreds a defense no matter what they try to do. He is able to move the ball consistently. He throws multiple TD's and puts the game away when he needs to. I dont care if it is for 250 yards or 400 yards. I dont think we will see a game like that from Taylor.
Yep. Great games for Tyrod are when he gets over 200 yards and 2 scores, something that is average for any other starting QB.

He gets "smacked" around because he runs around, is big, and, oh wait, it's football, not paddy cakes. Or, would you prefer the black quarterback shut his mouth when the white linebacker speaks? Think he's the only QB who talks sh!t? I bet you applauded the "guts" and "grit" and "heroism" when Hasselback elected to "take the ball and we're gonna score."
But man, you proudly bring your "red state" "confederate" political views and comments here that you think no one will see as thinly veiled Fox News racism, nationalism, and conspiracy theory (see: we have no real proof so let's make it up). From your nonsense about Mueller's credibility to this, it's pretty pathetic that your fandom and sports have to also be tainted and viewed through a Sean Hannity lens.You really showed him and all those crazy Republicans, didn't you! Go pat yourself on the back.
Making the world a more tolerant place, one angry, intolerant post at a time.

Let's do what the Browns have been doing for the past few years. It is clearly working for them.

Pretty dumb if he did do it on purpose. I mean, he's wearing a hard plastic helmet. It would hurt his hand more than Tyrod's head.
-
All these mistakes really hurt us, guys. We could have beaten the Dolphins by even more points!
-
I have no problem with it. I don't think any of his mistakes have been that bad. And, btw, lots of coaches make mistakes. Even Belichick.

Do you live in Buffalo? I'm just trying to figure out whether it's worth discussing things with you. Because if you're someone who moved out of the area, I'd get being so out of touch. But if you are in WNY, it's just not even worth the time.
Wow. That guy just provided paragraph after paragraph of support for his opinion and this is how you respond? I guess you really have nothing to refute his opinion and must resort to insults.

To a lot of people "being realistic" means being super negative. Sometimes that makes sense, but not in our case this year. We were a team on the verge of the playoffs last year. I can't not see how anyone would think we'd be less than a 7 to 9 win team. "4 and 10" is just someones way of getting attention.
Most of the team was gone, as well as the coaching staff and offensive and defensive schemes. Certainly makes sense for people to think the team wouldn't do well.
I am definitely not negative and find myself defending the team and coaches a lot, but I didn't think the team would win a lot of games. First year of new everything.

I 100% agree with this. The team is definitely talent deficient but has found a way to play sound football (for the most part) and win games. That is a mark of good coaches, if you ask me.
-
Even if they miss the playoffs, going 8-8 or 9-7 in the first year of a major rebuild, with all new coaches, GM, and staff, plus most of the roster different, I'd say that's a huge sign of better days to come.
I said at the beginning of the season that if the Bills get to 8 wins it would be remarkable. I still feel that way.
We need a QB, though, and some other pieces.
-
Could be the Titans fall off and don't make the playoffs, letting Baltimore AND Buffalo in.

I think both moves were best for the franchise, surprised they did this current one though.
You think benching Flutie was good for the franchise?
-
I didn't see him play because I turned the game off early. Had better things to do than watch the Bills get dominated.
But wouldn't the Saints have had their backups in by then? They were up by a huge margin. There's no reason to risk their starters.
If so, not saying it takes everything away from what Peterman did, but still.
I say give Tyrod another game. If it is more garbage, put in Peterman. I think Taylor is probably better overall, but we clearly have oline issues, and Taylor is a QB that needs more time than any QB in the league. Peterman makes quicker decisions, and that's what this oline needs.
-
I have no idea how they'll play. I bet they'll try hard and be well prepared, but sometimes that isn't enough.
I have some hopes, but we'll all have to wait and see what happens. Nobody knows.
John Murphy Scolds Bills Fans For Being "Negative"

I've never heard of a radio show like that. Have you? Radio show hosts usually spout whatever they like, and are often extremely rude. Why? Because many callers are completely nuts and they get sick of it.
Donald Jones does a great job of painting himself into a corner all the time. 50% of what he says is literally word for word what John Murphy said 2 seconds earlier, and the other half is talking about things like "swag", TD dances, and banter with current or former players. (In his defense he has gotten slightly better)
