True—Rexy built us a real “bully” until we took the field. We also had Santa Clause, aka Rob Ryan, as a defensive wizard which was great. What rotten coaching luck we’ve had through the years!

This is exactly why I feel like NP is not getting cut anytime soon—not enough healthy backup QB’s yet with any idea about the playbook. But after JA comes back all bets are off I’m sure.

You absolutely should. TD is a TD, same number of points no matter how you get in there.

It's definitely getting technical when the stank has so many layers to it. It's getting difficult to evaluate which is worse, the talent trying to execute the play designs, or the coaching prep schematically on the O side of the ball? And I have been willing recently to give Daboll a pass given what he's working with objectively, but this is getting beyond nuts.

?Sounds good--let's plan on circling back around on this one Coach, once you've had a chance to back-check everyone else's eyeballs!

I have trouble coming up with any semblance of a defense against your points at the moment.

McD's assistant trying to schedule Coach's coffee with Terry this morning is going something like this I imagine:

Darnold went toe to toe with the Bills QB play, and it looks like Bowles’ HC job is going the way of the Dodo bird...if nothing else our stout D may be scoring this week to keep things more than respectable

Definitely agree with you that they haven’t done him any favors

And yet the OP’s point bears discussion. Are his quotes of the stats of our offensive “stars” actually not offensive?

Yes, seriously. Or did you see something different?

If you can’t or don’t want to have any pride in suiting up for the Buffalo Bills, then find the next Uber out to the airport and take your sad sack attitude with you—and yes, I’m looking at you LeSean. Sitting there doing an even better job of going invisible/evasive on the bench than on the field, I couldn’t help but feel like his foot on the helmet was an incredibly disrespectful signal—kind of like putting them on top of the dinner table, or is it just me? We deserve better, this franchise for whom many players in the past have left it all on the field for win or lose, deserves better, and least of all whatever class you may have left deserves better. C’mon man!

Tell me more about Plan B though because while I can’t rule out the first part, I doubt they had the anti-McBeane candidates locked and loaded at the time of the hire. remember, they went polar opposite of Rexy with this pick, thinking that’s exactly what the team needed. Then in year 1 they get playoffs—absolutely bought in at that point safe to say. Draft QB of future, so now supposed to be on cruise control. Plan B would be made up on the spot, ad hoc and only as the result of the last 7 games left looking even worse, or JA not working out as long term answer.

Still shudder at the 2013 franchise pick made of EJ at #16, which we all knew was a reach but it was slim pickins that year too

Still had to win out against Miami in order for the Ravens result to even matter I feel like we never truly hit rock bottom though during the Drought--always able to "middle through" somehow to a bare amount of respectable mediocrity (which was also stifling at the same time), but this time, it really feels like we are falling fast past that point. Where that winds up for next year and beyond is still anyone's guess.

I guess I could've inserted any other # of names instead, lol. The pressers this week will be interesting.

Bruh--hate to break it to you, but Peterman only Threw3Picks. ? "The beatings will continue until morale improves." Saw that on a t-shirt somewhere--apropos methinks!

Now that's an original take. Known commodity despite the TO's is almost crazy to say, but yes, I see where that could be. And he is cutting down the INT's that are solely his own fault, so McD is probably thrilled to see that on the tape as well. But if they make a serious run at Bradford, then I don't know how you keep him, even if Bradford is barely more resilient at this point than DA.

See?? I always thought you were a little too negative. ?

Shady: "Maybe if I lose this helmet under the bench while the fat guy is covering me, I won't have to sub in for Ivory anymore."

Exactly. Story of the Drought, redux. Never quite as bad as say, the Browns, but never breaking into the upper crust of perennial playoff contenders either--Fitzy = a run of great 4-5 games that have you wondering what Sully could ever find negative to write about, only to wind up looking like the fish out of water Harvard athlete that he is, gasping for air just short of the playoff finish line. At least the Bills swung for the fences with JA.

Answer: (1) not enough QB bodies on the current roster healthy enough, or (2) up to speed enough to make him fall off the roster as of yet. I have little doubt he will still be cut this year, but McBeane have to stockpile enough dumpster dive backups first. Bradford could be next man up, and in that case I think NP will be gone. Sometimes, the easiest explanation is the furthest you have to look.

Totally didn't see this thread coming. Problem is that it will only take about that same second for DA to jump right back into concussion protocol. Have you seen our line when faced with the prospect of protecting for an immovable object?

Nope! Count me in on that fan group. He throws a mean pick-6 himself, but without the common decency/courtesy of at least producing a TD drive somewhere along the way, which is at least something Peterman can lay claim to from the Houston game and today, sandwiched around DA's forgettable run. Again, I realize we are grading out differing levels of the same stink, but I feel the need to get technical after games like we've been suffering through lately.

Allen close to throwing is still Allen not yet throwing, to say nothing of when he will actually hit the playing field again after that. Anderson coming back is like saying the light bulb that went out came back on after I jiggled it, but it could go out again any moment since I didn't actually replace it with a new one. He's pretty much a porcelain serving dish, and our line can protect him from hits maybe 60% of the time? Barkley is another body, you're right, but without knowing what they will see yet from him, I doubt the Bills will be in a mood to lighten the QB room any more than necessary through injuries alone. Short answer, no, he does not get cut tomorrow.
