Because it’s played the way short attention span, low IQ kids enjoy it. It’s anything but football.
Sorry but the Rockpile days are not coming back. You aren't going to see a return of smashmouth football. IMO the reason the league is going the way it is cause its their way of limiting the amount of concussions. Thats why its so easy to complete passes in the middle of the field. You can no longer hit guys that aren't looking. I am fine with that as it limits injuries. That kind of football has no place in this league.

IMO the way they are rebuilding is backwards thinking in this era. The top teams win with offense and an average defense. I know a lot of the Rockpile fans don't like to hear that. I am sure most Rockpile fans loved when McCoach came out and said you win with field position and pounding the rock. According to him thats the way you win in Buffalo cause of the weather. I know rebuilds take time but there should be no excuse for having an offense on pace to set records for being bad. You can 't be a blue collar team and win in this league anymore.
My biggest question is why do a lot of the old time fans hate the way the league is now?

...realistically the doubts come into play about "rebuilds" in the club's history post Polian and rightfully so.....BUT....a MAJOR part of those "rebuilds" is the "rebuilders"....rag tag bunch of non-qualifieds thrust into football positions because the Donohole debacle collapsed Wilson's "Inner Circle of Trust", ...the "over the hill gang" as entrusted confidants who having been "re-tired" with "recaps" would lead this club the greatness....choose between "F Troop" or Breslin's "Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight"....so some obvious hiccups along the way with the new regime are bound to cast "here we go AGAIN" serious doubt.....fire them all and the new regime NOT providing INSTANTANEOUS SUCCESS churns the turnstiles "to no where" IMO.....
IT NOT INSTANT SUCCESS that people want. The reason people are not happy is in an era where teams can put up points the Bills struggle to even score 1 TD per game. Most knew the Bills would be bad record wise but were not expecting an offense that isn't good enough even in the Rockpile days.

I think the biggest reason the ones that are ok with the way the rebuild is going is cause its the kind of football they miss seeing. I see it posted all the time by the Rockpile fans that the way the NFL is now they don't like it. They love hearing that a coach BILLEVES in playing field position and pounding the rock just like in the Rockpile days. Unfortunately for them thats not how you win in this league now.
IMO the way to build a team now is offense first. If you look at the top teams in the league, they are all near the top in offense and most have average defense at best. The way the league is now your defense just needs a couple of stops a game to be good enough to win. The other thing is its hard to keep top ranked defenses together for multiple seasons. Look at Seattle and Jacksonville, their defense has dropped. Look at Pittsburgh, they keep winning cause they can score even though their defense isn't what it use to be.

You keep mumbling, but all I hear is "Daddy, I want an oompa loompa NOW!"
Here's the deal...real simply. Any thinking person knew the team was not going to be good this year. Yes, the offense is worse than expected. Yes, it can be embarrassing. Will it stay like this forever? No. You watch with an eye on progress. You hope to get Allen more reps and hope the game slows down for him. You hope the cap space and picks next year bolster the OL and get a decent #1 receiver who wants to play.
But in the end, in any situation like this, whether it's a bad sports team or a even a bad job or a bad boss, if you're honest with yourself, you only have to ask yourself a few simple questions.
(1) Can you change it?
(2) Can you live with it?
How you answer those two questions determines if there is a third question.
Think about it.
But stop whining about people who aren't as critical as you want them to be. It's ridiculous and accomplishes nothing, unless you come here to vent instead of kick your dog, in which case, stop kicking your dog.
I am not whining about people not being critical, its more the ones that put down anyone that is critical of the team. Whenever anyone questions the disaster at QB its always, WHAT QB FROM THE TRASH-HEAP DO YOU WANT?
The offense being this bad is why I think a lot of fans are upset with this team. Most fans knew they weren't going to be good but expected to be competitive. Add in the fact the league has it easy to play offense now, it really is an embarrassment to be this bad. As far as the rest of your post, Hope is all this team ever seems to sell. It gets tiring to hear year in and year out.

Oh, please. What are you, 12? I never said anything like that, and yet you somehow felt the need to go full-goose-bozo extreme to make a ridiculously sarcastic point that barely registers as a complete thought.
Riling up fans on a losing team is one of the easiest things you can do. Half the sports writers covering the BIlls make a living at it. That was my point.
Can we not try a little harder around here?
There is not much to be positive about this season. I said in another thread any time people question the disaster the QB situation is and how the offense is on pace to be one of the worst ever in an era where teams are throwing the ball down field at will, a lot of you don't want to hear it and BILLEVE they know what they are doing. The fact that Peterman is still on this team is a huge embarrassment. Even rebuilding teams have a capable offense that can move the ball somewhat and score double digits in points. Can't criticize DEM BILLS for that but hey hey look at that DEFENSE

And who exactly said THAT? As is often the case, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Come on people, please be better than this! GEEZ!
There is a lot of you who get all defensive when ever anyone questions the moves the Bills make. The decisions made at QB have been an embarrassment but yet guys like you are ok with what DEM BILLS are doing. Its not an excuse that this season they were going to be bad. When the league has made it easy to score points and your team is on pace for one of the worst offenses in years there is a problem. According the you and a many others DEM BILLS know what they are doing.

Oh you know...the usual.
Basically being the GM of the Buffalo Bills
Basically the GM of DEM BILLS can do no wrong. Can't criticize DEM BILLS, they know why Picksix is still on this team even though he should have been cut at the beginning of the season.

So you expect Beane to tell the media that he made a mistake in thinking that Sunday’s starting QB is a capable QB?
Is that your take?
He should have been cut before the season started. Obviously the don't think its a mistake to keep one of the worst QB's in the game on the roster.

No. It's not. There will be plenty of other people who will throw ridiculous stats online in an effort to troll Bills fans into screaming in misery.
Cause its all rainbows and sunshine in Bills land. Ya'll have to BILLEVE that they can do no wrong. You're not allowed to be negative about DEM BILLS.

What other mistake was there?
Believing Picksix is a capable QB. I honestly am starting to think this regime has no clue on how to run an offense in 2018. They believe you can win with field position and by playing conservative offense. Look no further then what the 49ers did last night with a 3rd string QB. Their coach knows how call plays and scheme around below average talent. Not the Bills
-
Following the 49ers getting significant offensive production out of CJ Beathard, and now Nick Mullens, in a season where their receiving corp is mediocre at best and they lost their stating RB at the beginning of the year, without a dominant Oline, can we stop pretending it is so hard to have a capable offense in the NFL? The 49ers aren't even doing anything special on offense this year. They're just competent.

Wawrow makes a good point. We all agree it would have been good to bring in a vet when they traded McCarron. Who? And would that have really changed the season at all?
You keep saying would it change the season at all? IMO yes it would. As bad as Anderson is, he atleast put up some yards and the offense looked a little respectable. Any other QB other then Allen or Picksix would be better. Allen is not ready to play and it shows by how he can't read defenses.
-
Imo the reason McBeane should be fired is there belief that defense is the way to win. I know Bills fans from the Rockpile days love that kind of football. It doesn't work in that way in the league anymore. The teams with the best records all have high ranked offense with average to below average defense. The teams with high ranked defense are around .500 or worse.
-
Yes they started out slow again but they really young. It takes time for young teams to gel. They are at least exciting to watch this season.

That sounds great, really would love to have experienced the atmosphere of an NBA game in Buffalo. I imagine a team there now would have a similar level of support that fans of the Spurs or Jazz give their respective teams.
I thought the owner of the Braves traded teams with the Celtics owner, then moved the team to San Diego/LA? At least that's what I remember reading from Wikipedia. Never heard of Darien Lake though, but after googling it, surprised to see it's still around!Wow. I can't believe you have never heard of Darien Lake. I am guessing you're not from the Buffalo area.

You can't over pay for free agents cause according to most fans thats what puts you in cap hell and your back to where you started.

Please see my other posts. This gets repetitive.
I am guessing you expected not only the Bills would be bad and knew next season that they would get the offense fixed. Did you think the offense would be this bad considering in an era where its easy to score double digits in points?

Just now, The Real Buffalo Joe said:
Who wants to watch an inept offense that can't put up double digits in points. Unless you want to watch history in the making.

I like #3 and really hope they continue winning. Just wish more Bills fans would pay attention to them and forget about the Bills the rest of the season.

Anyone blaming Daboll for this mess has his head so far up his ass.
Sorry don't buy it. Arizona has a worse o-line and manages to put up points. I have never seen a fan base believe that the coach can do no wrong.

Just remember that according to a some posters on this board. "It's hard to win in the NFL"

I am sorry defenseless plays have no place in this game anymore. There is no need to launch into a player cause he isn't looking at you. QBs can get hit but there is no need to take out his knees or head to hit him. Sorry but most fans pay to see the stars of the league make plays not defenseless hits.
