Really? Can't we just have some fun around here every now and then without it immediately turning into a 'we suck at life' response?

He raised it as an excuse, or tried to justify his roster spot with faith? My response that you were quoting was aimed at correcting the obvious fallacy that McD somehow makes game roster decisions based on a religious test, which is more than a bridge too far, and is based on no objective facts whatsoever or trustworthy sources inside OBD. Never heard NP say that the reason he played the way he did was because of his beliefs. Hardly an excuse for how he played at the end. You can say what you will about him, and many have to the point of ridiculousness, but attack the guy for what he shows on the field, and leave the rest alone where it belongs, that's my point. I don't understand the incessant need by a few here to make these crazy leaps of no-logic just because a player dares utter that there's more to life than between the hash marks. I have no doubt your life consists of more than the Bills too.

Can you “convert” this into an actual football insight? You’ve done your best on this and other threads, to turn this into some kind of a debate about spirituality and knocking any player for it, yet seemingly miss that each Bills’ player or coach, just like everyone else here, make personal decisions about faith, none of which has anything whatsoever to do with their roster role or football acumen/ability. Although, isn’t it ironic that a Christian like Drew Brees plays at a high level for the “Saints?” That smells like a conspiracy to me for which Loomis and Payton should be fired—by your logic. C’mon man, I know you’re better than this kind of intellectually vacant posting. Can we talk ball ? now?

That would require some solid special teams play—do we trust Crossman enough to coach that part up? Would be a great new thread—which coordinator do you trust the least right now? Lol

Tough enough to stare down cancer multiple times without complaining? Yeah, I’d say he can still at least pick up the 1st down against that Patsy D.

Hate it for that kid and the whole Kelly family—really thought he’d worked through his off-field issues already. Hope something good can still be salvaged from his incredible potential

JA’s development, or future lack thereof, is the key—he becomes good, McBeane stay put, no question

Spot on, per usual Shady

Careful now, you’re setting up the narrative for the fire everyone crowd just in case the Bills pull out a win, to cheapen its significance ? No Matt Patricia ladling in that soup this year though

Shady I like your takes 99% of the time on here; have to disagree with you on this one though. Everyone’s own take on faith is an intensely personal decision that they have to make for themselves, and I doubt Carr’s faith choices have had any bearing whatsoever on the Raiders locker room this year. My statement of taking Carr over Bortles is a purely football take—have no idea what’s going on in either man’s heart.

Goliath must stumble sometime. Why not Monday? No one on that team is taking the Bills seriously so I like this as a trap game. At the very least will be a lot closer than people think, maybe down to the last few min of the 4th.

The cardinals beg to differ, despite better talent than Buff across the offensive board.

I’m not disagreeing with you about the lack of good QB play, I’m just saying it’s a combination of problems offensively that contributes overall however to where we are at right now.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy! Begs the question of why Gruden can’t guru Carr but now will be able to guru Bortles? Give me Carr any day of the week over Bortles.

What you are overlooking however, is that virtually every team that is putting up points has a complementary run game that keeps pass rushers honest and from just pinning their ears back, as would be for a team playing catch up and being in a pass only mode. Name a top 5 team that gets no production from their backs? If you think you don’t need competence at the RB position and a line that can open gashing holes for said RB’s then you are sorely mistaken. Buffalo has some competence at the RB spots but is still a work in progress. But the adage that a strong running game opens up the pass is still true. The bills have struggled to be consistent with the run and their WR’s struggle to do anything given their overall deficits, and the line struggles to pass block long enough for deeper patterns to develop.

Unconditional love doesn’t expect anything in return. So I guess that’s what I have towards them since I can’t rely on them to give me squat. That and I always make things harder on myself than they should be so why would it be any different with who I root for? Grew up in Steeler country, yet am a Bills fan, go figure. Ironically, I do root for the Pirates and the Pens, but just had to miss out on all those Super Bowl wins lol.

Bills 22–19. Brady takes a safety right before the half. In other news, I love underdog movies like Rudy, so can’t help myself!

Go back and check out the posts going into the Minnesota game—a total write-off, why are we even bothering, Bills are a pathetic joke, and oh yeah, that Vontae dude decides he’s too cool for this hot mess and bounces at the half the week before. Guys I know you don’t want to hear this, but I for one won’t be betting 5K against the Bills in this one. I think we can shock the world this week, with a monster stand by the D and an opportunistic few drives against a soft Patsy D, that came this close to letting a Hail Mary through. Here’s to hoping and why we have to play the game out on the field and not on these boards!

Most logical, rational fans would have to admit the same reality, and also hope for the same thing for down the road. Yesterday was a perfect storm waiting to happen but not unpredictable given all the problems going in. Need this team to show heart and fight rest of the way though too. Went for a walk breathing in the beautiful fall air with my kid who was distracted by every leaf and I felt so much better almost immediately.

I said to the wifey, no, surely their WR’s are better than that, so I signed

Too me it looked like a lot of missed tackles, poor reaction time and overall a lack of heart—and that’s what was discouraging to see. Clays fumble was the turning point and that should not have been the case. They’re better than that, and McD better figure out how to motivate them this week before NE rolls in.

If next week doesn’t turn into a trap game against NE, don’t know what ever will. That in turn might keep it closer than we think right now

NP has grounds to ask for his job back, unfortunately.

Capt. Luck is marching off after having pillaged his way through the Big Tree Inn and the sleepy bison men who failed to heed their morning wake up reveille and has his sights set on an Adirondacks bed & breakfast next.

Bingo. Just give me JA learning the ropes and giving us enough flashes to keep me on the hook.
