    The guy on the right is a douche.  "I do not eat crow until after Christmas."

     

    if there's anyone on this planet that deserves to be told to go F themselves, it's this dude, seriously top 10 most punchable face.

     

    i especially liked the "and he's not dinking and dunking the ball" like it's a bad thing, hello...  they probably have the Tom Brady holding a goat picture on the ceiling above their beds.

    Why do people care?  Whose to say what is the right way and wrong way to rebuild a franchise?  Whose to say if coaches see certain players or not as guys that fit their plans, scheme, culture, and system?

     

    I think Miami is foolish for trading their young talents like Minkah and Tunsil.  But it’s also just an opinion without having any sort of knowledge or reasoning from Miami’s side.  

     

    End of of the day, they should be free to reboot and rebuild the way they best see fit.  Competition committee should only be involved if someone is violating something.  Trading players for first round picks violates nothing.

     

    Tunsil was perplexing but the Minkah trade made zero sense to me, essentially they gain nothing as they still have a need at the position

    Confidence is fine.

     

    The "there's no way we lose" type bravado I'm seeing from some fans is misplaced.

     

    and what lends to the "we need to be really cautious about this game" bravado?

     

    • we were 6-10 last year so one of the worst teams in the NFL
      • 11+ net new starters (majority from the bad side: Offense, and more returned starters from the good side: Defense) from last year so not even close to the same team
    • we were considered one of the worst teams to start this year
    • we beat the first team as a unanimous underdog, regardless of how, we beat them
      • message then was "it's early in the season and teams are still figuring things out"
    • we took care of business against a second team we were BARELY the favorite
      • message now is "they were a bad team" regardless of the above statement of "it's early, teams are still figuring themselves out"
    • the FO is in it's 3rd year and it's obvious it's gaining it's stride, we're seeing things that GOOD organizations do and it feels almost unnatural

     

    look - i'm not arguing with you and i really think it's just BBFS but there is so much different this year that it's probably just best to live in the moment, anything that happened before the 2019 season has no relevance.

     

    do you think Bills Fans know how to handle success?  a good coach?  FO?  solid QB? offensive and defensive systems that dictate strategy?  it's kinda awkward for me but i'm learning to accept it.

    Love what I saw last week and outside of a few head scratching decisions against the Jets.

     

    For those losses last season you say Josh should've/could've won you could argue a few he should've/could've easily lost. Home Titans and home Lions last season, even week 1 this year against the Jets. 

     

    Looks good so far. The true test/barometer is  NE next week, IMO. Not just for Allen but for other players(Edmunds, WR corps) and team as a whole. 

     

    i'm not sure we're being realistic here when 30 other teams would struggle in the same circumstance.  I dare say most would lose, if not all.

     

    besides - if we managed to beat them the message would be "Pats*** are still the better team, they just had an off day"

     

    the true test/barometer is to exceed expectations and that, apparently, is different person by person; i'd like to see stability, consistency and more wins than losses.

     

    for me the expectations rise next year.

    Lots of bad QBs have playoff wins though. 

     

    and there a few examples of 'average' QB's winning the SB; Dilfer, Johnson, Rypien...

     

    wasn't Roethlisberger's first SB year mediocre from the stat perspective?  the "Bus Superbowl" was the worst stats for a winning QB in history?

     

    i'm going to say wins and contribution and the rest will fall in line; do your job as the coaches dictate, sprinkle in talent and ability and help your team win from your position.

  6. wait, how can you retire from something you're not apart of?

     

    or is it:  should he retire from having his agent hound various NFL teams for an opportunity then blasting it out to the media?

     

    i'd love to say: I'm going to retire as CEO of Amazon but it's meaningless because i'm not the CEO nor do i work for them.

     

    anyway, this thread is like ***** with sandpaper, curiously enticing but destructive regardless of the outcome.

  7. i know the answer to this but i'm going to play devil's advocate:

     

    Why is our benchmark the best team in football when it isn't for the other AFC teams?  why is there a demand we got 11-0 before we get any respect when some 1-1 and 0-2 teams are being given credit over us?  when you bring in 10 new starters on offense, a 2 y/o front office why is history such a factor?  and i could argue other teams are not being held to the same standards.

     

    AFC teams around us are getting weaker or struggling so why wouldn't that elevate the Bills in principal?  why must it be "we're nothing until we beat the Pats***"?

     

    As much as i hate to say it but we don't get a win from either game w/ the Pats***  and i think that's a common understanding but i don't think it takes away from how good this team is and will be and I think our benchmark should be something more realistic than "you've played a bunch of scrub teams and can't beat the Pats***, you suck as always".

  9. am i the only one that dislikes the use of the word 'mafia' in this regard?  the "OG" stuff has got to go.

     

    now i don't expect us to be Downton Abbey civilized but naming the fan base after a group that was known for organized crime, murder, extortion and whatever else i can think of just makes me think...  Raiders fans and i'm not sure that who we want to emulate (after living in Los Angeles for 18 years, i got the FULL experience).

     

    don't get me wrong, i got much props and love to our fan base and it gives me chills to see the sea of red/blue, the Mafia thing is just old and tired.
