Honest question: Why did you take the time to do this? To prove a point to yourself or others?

I’ve been waiting to see the snap counts. I didn’t know it was that bad. Yes, it’s a bad look for our 1st round pick. Rookie or not, you expect the guys from your first two rounds to be consistent starters and making impacts. The idea of bust potential has to creep into your mind

tried that. We will see

I tried to reach out to the guy who ran Billsdaily but his twitter account doesn't accept DM's and his eMail attached doesn't work. Just looking for a way to get a hold of him

I'm very curious to see what the crowd looks like for this game. I know the Browns show up well, but I also know a lot of Bills fans attending

Damn it! I meant Lawson. I'm an idiot. Thank you

you’re not wrong. He’s looking a little Trent-ish. I don’t know if that’s him in his own head or the coaches

If it's the play I'm thinking of, I think a pass to Gore would have resulted in a pick 6. He would've needed to toss it over a defender and there was a linebacker waiting at the goal line to greet him. I think Allen made the right call to eat the ball as all the action was to that side of the field and he had nothing once he broke to the right Again, if the play I'm thinking.

I agree about Singletary. I just wonder what changed this past week to to earn him the start. It certainly wasn't last week's performance. Not a knock against him, just how the game went

You're an idiot (Sorry Tom). Who was my agenda against? Oliver? He sucked this game and I made a mention about my previous thoughts on him so that my overall stance could be known to give context. It was also one point. Daboll? Yeah, not a fan of him either. But you also miss the entire post. I was very critical of Allen earlier and adjust based on what they do. I laid off Oliver almost the entire season up until this point. So, if you want to say things to fit your narrative, go for it. I made my follow-up comment about "why bother" because I wrote that intro specifically to address it. Sometimes lines aren't sarcastic. I put it there to warn those who were looking for a warm and fuzzy "we won" post to save themselves some time for half of it. It was direct and straight forward. But apparently that blatant warning sign wasn't enough to stop you from reading and still commenting on it. You're the guy who went to see Face Off in theaters and then complained that it wasn't realistic because science can't do that. Yeah, so said the poster. Either way, I'm done responding to you. I've fed you enough

Yeah, I want to see a replay of that.

No, because the Packers have beaten quality teams and played complete games on offense and defense. That's the difference that you aren't seeing.

I want to see them move to London just because I want to see how it works out for the league. How will FA's view signing to play there. How much of a fit will west coast teams throw having to make that trip? But overall, how will England embrace having a team and what would it do for overall viewership? I think it's something they should try in Mexico as well.

I'd like to more about him being inactive this game. Was it for his special teams?

I'm listening...

Touche. The any better was more in reference to it being 3 straight games, but I'll give it to you. I agree that we should beat the Browns based on what they are actually doing and I would view it as an upset to lose. I'm merely saying that if you just look at the rosters and overall body of work, it could be seen as a trap game.

Please. It'd be my new favorite porn

How dare you come at me with multi-syllabic words!

You are 100% right and it's something I've honestly thought about as I wrote this. It's a struggle sometimes because I'm allowing myself to start to treat the team like a playoff caliber unit. The negatives, as I try to own up front as negatives, is coming from a mindset of what worries me going forward and as I evaluate a 6-2 team. In recent years, it's almost been easier to be positive because expectations were so low. I didn't think about anything beyond the game we were playing. What's also funny to me is that a lot of my Allen comments could easily have his name removed and replaced with Tyrod from a final result. But saying that will get me killed. While they are very different QB's and Allen has way more potential, the end result is similar lately. But yes, I understand your point and am trying to find the common ground. When we made the playoffs two years ago, I didn't care that we lost to the Jags. I was just so happy we made it finally. This year, I'd feel pissed if we got bounced in the first round. I'd be moreso pissed if it's because of the things I mentioned in the first 3 points because it's something we are seeing happen every week now and aren't adjusting. Overall, it's a testament to the raised expectations McD has created for me while also trying not to buy into previous Bills results. I honestly appreciate your post and I hope that somewhat adds some light to where I'm coming from. Remember, we are both coming from the same place of wanting to see a winning team. Also, this

Read what I wrote. I talked about why I thought they had issues when they did regarding stopping the run. I didn't talk about the entire game. I was only referring to those plays were we got gashed. I also commented that it was different when Oliver was on the field in the first half as well as the Skins changing things up to more outside runs in the second half. The point was about just the plays gashed up the middle and a point of concern in recent weeks.

I don't blame anyone for being timid to embrace the happy times. The BBFS is real and earned. I do believe we will make the playoffs, but don't know how we will far once we get there. I think it's more frustration than pessimism though. We know what these players are capable on both sides of the ball. So seeing them either coached or play down to such a low level, brings out the angry thoughts.

Nor does it make the statements any less true.

I don't even know why I write the opening statement anymore...

First off, how dare you mimmick what I rightfully stole first! Second, I'm going to hit each point by point: 1 - Until the Bills equally play up to an opponents level this season, it's a valid argument. 2 - We've imploded not once, but twice in the last decade. You can't expect people to forget. We do play a far easier schedule this year and it should still be considered an upset if we don't. 3 - As I just talked about in my post-game, I will continue to bash him. It's not just fans either at this point, it's columnists and the commentators in the game. He doesn't know how to string together a full game that keeps the offense in rhythm. He acts like he's calling plays for a team that can overcome major setbacks. Look at his career resume, he's never shown that he can eventually string it together. He is now exactly who he's been everywhere he's played. He always played with a defense that could bail him out with superior talent. 4 - If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. 5 - Agreed - He's playing the hand Daboll is dealing him. 6 - Disagree to a point. I've said this before that games aren't cheap and the NFL is a product. When you pay that much and are advertised a certain result, it's okay to show your displeasure when you don't get it. If you spent $300 on something based on an advertisement and didn't get it, would you be all sunshine and rainbows when returning it? Go Bills B word! ?

Shhhhh. I can't afford an IP check by the MODS
