They lost the NHL to NBC and NBCSN, after that they didn't care.
That and most Americans don't like hockey as its too fast and too complicated for them.

LMFAO. So what magical player would you have taken at 16 instead of Edmunds that saves our season and makes us a better team than taking Edmunds?
Hint: There isn’t one. You like to say blanket things that have no substance behind them like they should have gone offense at 16. Yet there isn’t anyone that we could have taken there that would have changed our offense into a good offense. Yet Edmunds has helped our defense get into the top 5 despite all the pressure the struggling offense puts on our D every week.
#FactsMatter
Facts matter. The teams with the top defenses this season are all around .500 or worse. The way the league is going you need a top offense to win games with an average defense.

Yes it threatens them cause the Bills can do no wrong and trust the process.

You mean people who actually like, you know, football?
Where people get hit hard, tackled over the middle? Yeah. You're right. People who like football HATE that kind of game.
Defenseless hits have no place in the game anymore. Hard hitting defenses are a thing of the past. Playing field position and pounding the rock is old school way of thinking.

Been wondering about this thread. Does everyone still hate the Pegulas with the Sabres being good?
Just Bills fans as most of them have no interest in the Sabres or hockey. I am guessing the reason is hockey is to complicated for most.

So you’re saying that there isn’t more competent QBs than in years past?
How many SBs did these octane teams we have this year win? Oh yeah, none.
Rams got bounced LAST year. Saints lost too. Pats lost in SB because their D was so bad it let Nick Foles go off. Chiefs have a different QB, but they now have lost to a declining Pats team and the Rams last night.
In fact why don’t you look up when the last time the highest scoring team in the NFL won the SB. Hint, they have a losing record in the SB.
So sorry, one year of higher scoring doesn’t equal a change forever. NFL like all things goes in cycles. And right now the NFL is certainly experiencing higher scoring in regular season, but playoffs is a different animal and all offense isn’t some msgic
recipe for a SB win.
One year doesn't change things but I don't see the NFL going back to the blue collar days were teams run the ball and play field position. IMO we are headed to where a top 10 defense doesn't guarantee you anything. Offense is going to be the way going forward. As long as you have a middle of the pack defense with a top offense you are going to win lots and make the playoffs.

Only the Bills fans from the Rockpile days don't seem to like it.

Exhibit A is the PF call last night against KC for hitting Robert Woods as a "defenseless receiver".
A lot of people on this board want that kind of football back. They miss the Rockpile days with smash mouth football and 12-6 scores. Hate to break it to them those days are gone. Blue collar teams don't win much in this league anymore.

Wow Its sad that so many fans of the Buffalo football team know nothing about the hockey team from the same city. All I can say is they are missing out on a team that scores, wins games and are in a playoff spot.

I wish they'd have another lock out.
I am guess you are from the south. They don't understand the game down there or have ice.

yes Bills, keep on building a D and insisting on a feature RB with a gold-plated contract...
i don't enjoy this at all, i like to see competence displayed in all levels of the game.
another reason the pro game is slipping away from my concerns.... you are losing us by the thousands Roger....
Yeah the Rockpile fans are the ones turning away from the game. I doubt you will see a team that has a top rated defense and a mediocre offense win much in this league much anymore. I personally love the way the game is now. If you have a good offense you are never out of it.

I hope Allen does play well and is a star for years to come. Buffalo fans deserve a little good fortune. Go Bills.
Buffalo fans have a little good fortune with the way the Blue and Gold are playing.

Barkley also showed there is enough talent on the offense that its capable of putting up points and moving the ball. I expect Allen should be able to put up at least 150 yards passing and throw for a TD minimum.

10 weeks too late in my opinion. Its why I question their ability to evaluate QB'S.

Yeah, I agree with what he was saying too.
You know what made me feel best about where we are right now? Not saying it's proof of anything, just sayin it made me feel good? Someone posted or some friend sent me a link to something from Cleveland that said the Browns are likely to have some problems finding a head coach because the Haslams consistently ignore the football people in the organization. The football people said draft Bridgewater, the Haslams said we're taking Manziel. Then the football people said McDermott was by far the best HC candidate, the Haslams said hire Hue Jackson.
It just felt good to hear that knowledgeable football people (albeit the Browns people) thought McDermott was the clear choice. I've been losing confidence in McDermott as the season has progressed, and I needed something to tell me to calm down, trust the process, let the guy build the team the way he plans to build the team. There are plenty of small signs that he's doing that, but there seem to be too few wins to go with the signs. Yesterday was a complete change in how they appeared to be playing. It was a surprise to me and to many. I'd like to think it wasn't a surprise to McDermott.
I'd love to see them go 4-2 down the stretch.
Its hard to trust the process at this point and it all comes down to there evaluation of QBs. The fact it took them this long to realize what most people know in that Peterman doesn't belong on a NFL roster makes me question their ability to know good offensive talent.

I voted no because for a professional football operation, they showed an astounding lack of planning for a worst case scenario and an absurd amount of what I'd call "blind faith" in Nate Peterman.
What if Peterman sucks?
What if we don't want to play Allen or he's hurt?
Out of moves on the chess board, they had to go out and grab a guy off a golf course (Anderson) and a guy who hadn't played in over two years (Barkley).
IMO, highly paid NFL executives shouldn't be reduced to doing those things IN season.
Shhh. You can't question them on that. According to the Billievers they know what they are doing. Trust the process cause next season they are going to fix the offense.
I myself can't trust them in fixing the offense after seeing how they evaluated the QB situation this season.
-
I can't give them the benefit of the doubt yet cause of how bad they messed up the QB situation. Going into the season as Peterman as your starting QB is inexcusable. The fact it took them til week 10 to realize he can't play makes me question their ability to evaluate QB talent. With even an average QB they are probably 5-5.
-
I would also say it shows how raw Allen is. If he played yesterday the Bills probably still win but I doubt he plays anywhere near as good as Barkley. If the Bills are really trying to win like they say they are Allen sits til they lose another game.

See I don't think this is a big deal. Allen and Anderson got hurt and Nathan Peterman might be the worst quarterback of all time.
If if we started 4 guys because we couldn't figure out who the guy is, I'd be worried.
Obviously we know Josh Allen is the guy. And he happens to be hurt.
Bold is why it is a big deal. The fact it took half a season to realize what a lot of people knew is a big deal. Why they ever thought Peterman could start the majority of the games til Allen was ready is a big deal. Not having a veteran backup when the season started is a big deal.

I’m not upset or angry.
This team is an embarrasment to the city and fans. I am just stating facts.
I don’t lose a minute of sleep over this stuff.
It is an embarrassment but my suggestion has always been tune into the other team in town. They are winning, are exciting to watch and the Sabres have outscored the Bills 53 to 46 since the Sabres season started.

Maybe in your world.
Thats the way it works in Canada. Either way I still think there should more people have to go through to get a gun. It might help stop some of these mass shootings. They need to do more background checks on people who want to buy a gun. Any suspicion of mental illness and no gun for you.

No in hindsight they didn't need to. But of course we didn't know that last year. This regime decided right away they'd be going all out for a QB in 2019 and every move they made was in service of that plan. All their dead cap is off the books next year. This is the last year where they have fair excuses for losing. And sure if they had made every move exactly right we would be in a better spot right now. But I don't blame them for passing on a QB last year or casting away players to gather draft picks. I blame them for the receiver situation and that's about it. A lot of their moves have been great. I'm okay with a couple stinkers and a bad rebuilding year. Next year they'll have to prove their plan is working.
So who do you fire for passing on Mahomes and Watson? The defensive minded head coach who was here for all of 3 months before that draft? Or the GM that hadn't been hired yet? There was zero chance we were drafting a QB high last year. Call it bad timing. Blame Pegula if you want for not having a more stable situation in place. But McDermott and Beane can't be held accountable for that.
I am sorry but the QB situation going to this season is inexcusable. They knew Allen needed time to learn the pro game as he is really raw. The fact Peterman is still on the roster and that they believe he can play in this league makes me really question if they know anything about a modern NFL offense. Then again McDermott believes you can win playing field position and playing conservative offense.

Canada doesn’t have the military or the self-defence views by a million miles on the US
there is no possible way we have handguns or non-hunting weapons comparable in Canada
It doesn't change the fact you need to go through a lot to be able to own a gun in Canada. Owning a gun should be the same as a car license. Its a privilege not a right.

Why not change the name of the team to the Panthers while they are at it.

The biggest reason you don't a lot of gun violence in Canada is it takes a lot of work to become licensed to have a gun here. Here they do background checks and it takes sometimes up to a year to get your license. What makes no sense is how each state has their own laws for guns. Here in Canada its federally legislated and you're only allowed handguns, shotguns and rifles. No semi-auto is allowed.
I think if the U.S. followed the way Canada does with getting a license it would help.

I don't see it in regards to Allen. He has tendency to run after his first checkdown. A lot like Tyrod with a bigger upside. He has accuracy issues dating back to college. Blame his WR 's all you want but the best QB's make their WR's better.

I struck a nerve cause hard hitting defense and pounding the rock is a thing of the past.
