Hermes, agreed on Einstein. I like people who are not Pollyanna, but also not doom and gloom. I guess it’s a matter of people can look at glass half full or empty. Measured optimism is always appreciated.I know we have flaws, but so does all 31 teams besides us. We definitely need a 1st round WR, younger top safeties, and we already may have fixed the OC who now makes sense. On the flip side, we finally have a solid OL and DL, good TE’s, a fine Scat Back, and a serviceable banger for a RB. When Milano returns, we’ll have a solid LB Corp as Bernard has surprised all of us. Elam may have been a disappointment, but Benford is a pleasant surprise. I feel terrible for Tre, but we had the steal trade of the NFL in Douglas. Joseph has been a fine substitute for Jones.
So yes, we have flaws. We also have strengths.
I will say, that variety of takes that people have on here (good or bad) is one of my favorite things about this place. For the most part the posters with some of the strongest opinions are often times well spoken and provide sound rationale for their takes. There's generally a lot of good discussions on the board.
I don't think there's a team in the league that's heads above everyone else, save for maybe the 49ers, so I see a path for the Bills to win the whole bag. Beane has made some seriously solid moves this year (starting with the Oliver ext, and the draft) to get the team to be in position to make some noise, unfortunately a lot of that has been squandered by incompetence. I still hold out hope that Elam will be a plus player, especially on the latest news regarding his injury. Having Benford playing well takes the sting out of Elam's performance thus far. The team is just brimming with potential and I'm looking forward to see how they close out the year!

You know, @Einstein, you've been so much more positive than most in this latest Bills stretch. I'm grateful for you and your contributions to the community and am pleasantly surprised by your latest takes. Thank you for the positive outlook you've provided this season

He knows the code. When it comes down to it, put it in the refs hands. Just ask Collinsworth

The title of this thread is such a loser mentality.
You know, I actually think it's a Billsy mentality.

This post is actually cursed and this topic needs to be deleted, probably burned, exorcised, cleansed, and forgotten.
It's not the team, it's the fans 🫡

You don't think this is a weird thing to say as a head coach in reference to your QB?
...McDermott on why he think that's dissipated with Allen over the last few weeks: "Yeah, I have my own thoughts, but I won’t go there right now. '
That is a legitimately bizarre thing to say in a press conference.
Do you want him to say Dorsey has been trash and that's why we fired him? Or Josh is the reason we're losing games and now he's down on himself?
There's about a million things right now he could say to throw gas on the fire and he's doing his best to mitigate any psychological issues he can. Why would he willingly damage his reputation with not only the team, but fans as well, by giving more info than necessary.
I swear so many people just want to raise the pitchforks and have anything to gripe about

that’s quite a dark take. So many fans are positive and supportive. Everyone has a breaking point.I'm just being a 'realist', right. That's what they all say.
I see it everywhere, Bills fans just can't wait to spew vitriol and hate when the team encounters any sort of obstacle or meets with rough waters. So many just sit and lie in wait so they can be the first ones to be right with their negative takes. It's embarrassing. This loser mentality among a large contingent of the fanbase is honestly sad.
Curses and jinxed live on in our collective psyche and Bills fans thrive off of being the lovable losers. Sure, fans donate to all these charities, but then they go around acting like drunken asshats at the tailgate.
Woohoo! Our fans are the best because they know how to party and donate to other teams charities!
On the other hand half these fans take it personally when the Bills lose, as if the team is doing it to spite these individuals. Get over yourselves Bills fans. The team will be good or bad regardless if any of us are on the bandwagon or not.
Good riddance to those who no longer support the Bills! I'll still be here and I'll still BILLIEVE this team can win the Superbowl until they're finally knocked out of the race.

Yep. Definition of billsy. We got a top 10 candidate tonight.
You might be right about that. They just can't help snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

Sorry dude, what happened tonight is the very definition of the term Billsy. It lives on.
What a way to lose! They missed the kick and before that the Bills got excited and pooped their pants

Was the 12 men on the field just to rub it in? It’s literally cruel. Mean.
There are too many coaches and players who cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeearly do not care.1% of the amount each of us does.
Personally I blame a lot of them. I don’t excuse Allen like so many here do, but it’s obviously not only him.
But…….even with all of that……we have 12 men on the field…….even with that…….why does Lutz have to miss it just to rub it in? That’s just too much.
Jesus, how many fans were going into this game expecting this or something similar to happen. This is exactly what these fans deserve. The constant bitching, and moaning about how when this team wins its not perfect and nothing they can do is ever good enough. It's actually quite comical and fitting exactly how much this loss suits this fanbase.

LMAO
9-8 against Denver. DENVER!!! AT HOME!! In a game that we really needed to show something!
AND they're driving just before the half. Could easily be 17-8.
Man your expectations are low.
Anyway, sleep well. I'm going to bed at the half. If we win, great, there's absolutely no excuse in the world for losing this game, we should win by 17+.
Again, griping with each other about our team doesn't help. We're all fans. Some simply sick of underachieving with a generational talent like Allen and wishing we had better leadership for this team, which clearly now is the issue.
Sleep well my friend.
Don't let the bed bugs bite 😉

Yeah, my bad.
WooHoo!
Stellar first half.
Could you be anymore upset that the Bills had some success. I'm not necessarily happy with the way they've played but I still believe they'll win this game (against a potentially underrated team no less.)

You're right!
Super Bowl here we come.
We'll show 'em @ Philly and @ KC in two and three weeks.
And hey, we just pulled within a FG against Denver. At home, in a game in which it appears that we'll be heading into the half with 7 points.
My bad. As you were.
8 points lol

Also, @PBF81 how did the last game this broncos team played go?
if you dont know they actuay beat the Chiefs 24-9. But the Bills are trash cause the game isn't going how you want

Seriously?
Am I wrong? Look I'm not a fan of the play calling either but to say that the 2(!) turnovers are on coaching and the drops are on coaching is just stupid. Those are individual mistakes. That's 3 drives ended by poor individual performance.

We're a good, not great, team. Poorly coached.
You're right. That pick was on coaching. So were the other two crucial drops

The truth is the Bills margin for error is at it's slimmest margin since 2020. Teams no longer even have to play their best game or have the Bills make tons of stupid mistakes/penalties/etc to be able to beat us. Now the Bills can actually play decent enough without TO's and still just lose.
I mean, if you look at the last few games the Bills have been the ones who've put themselves in a bad position countless times. They've beaten themselves more than the opposition has beaten then and if you think different then you're not watching the games.
Sure, they've been disappointing, but to say they've been outmatched is pointedly wrong. Though, I'm sure your expert analysis is spot-on and I'm way off base here, but the Bills have done everything you've said they haven't and still lost close games.
If they're as bad as you claim, these would've been blowout losses.

I guess if anybody is still delusional enough to think the Bills could get the first seed, a loss by the Ravens would be good. Jags lost today which was good on that front. And we still have a head-to-head vs the Chiefs and Dolphins.
So you're saying there's a chance 🤔

If it was clearly a catch it would have been ruled a catch.
Just like the clear pass interference/facemask on Davis or the clear tripping/slide tackle on Kincaid. Or the clearly not intentional grounding that was called on Josh.

A gain of 9 yards is nowhere near close to the value of a timeout.
The play was not obvious and should not have been challenged.
Whoever made that decision is a moron.
I mean the ball literally hits his glove and not the ground. I get that the play was incomplete on the field, but that was very clearly a catch

I agree officiating is sometimes ridiculous but we didn’t lose this on calls. There a lot wrong here…
I mean objectively they did. The non-call face mask on Gabe in the ez more than likely leads to 7 instead of 3 and the non-call blatant slide tackle/tripping on Kincaid cost another 3. So thats 7 points right there, enough to win the game. Not to mention multiple other points in the game where questionable calls impacted the game

For the record he's actually had a negative impact. Starting with the 12 men penalty and culminating in the lost fumble on the punt return vs. The Chargers. He was literally feet away from where the ball ended up and would've easily been the first player there. Instead he starts walking towards the bench while the play is happening.
HOT TAKE ALERT!!
He shouldn't have seen the field when he died and he shouldn't now. The whole reason why he was hit in the chest and stopped his heart was because he decided to try and tackle a guy who has 5 inches on him by standing in place and going high. He got trucked and it was his fault.
He's not a good football player. It's that simple
