This has nothing to do with the Pats loss. I always had us losing both games. But we needed this game after the Jax debacle. Honestly, I was impressed with the Pats game for a bit. Our D did a great job in confusing Brady, knocking him down, and only giving up 20 points. In fact, McKelvin's fumble gave them free points. Shady catches the TD, Carpenter hits that FG. This is a different game. We lost due to poor execution and some weak playcalling in the 4th by Roman. I thought he did good up until half. Was okay in the 3rd, and then just wasn't prepared for the 4th. But either way, good game that showed improvement. Now, with that said, we are now in a position where there are only 2 spots for us to take. The Steelers will most likely grab one of them. They have Ben back and it just seems like it's theirs. That leaves one spot. For that spot, we have to beat all of our remaining AFC opponents. That means we have to win IN KC, home against the Texans and Jets. Right now, KC is on fire and Houston keeps finding a way. I'm going to call it now. We will lose at KC next week and that will be all she wrote. Besides all of that. The thing that really bothers me is that we are more talented than last year and we are only two losses away from guaranteeing the same record as last year or worse. 9-7 looks hard right now.

You might as well name this thread "People I should block"

I'm sorry. But you need to let these guys play. These are such Ticky Tack calls. I'm also finding it interesting how they aren't showing most of them on replay

In two of my leagues, I saw two owners get less that 50 points that had him as their starter. These leagues average 150-200 points per game. It was brutal

Why else would anyone ever care what the Bengals do? Let's me honest, as long as Lewis is the coach and Dalton is the Qb, they will continue to waste a spot in the playoffs

Holy !@#$ing **** am I pissed off. I needed 20 total yards from Jeremy Hill and the Bengals were my survivor pick. Are you kidding me Cincinnati? At home! To the Texans! !@#$ you. !@#$ you and your soulless ginger quarterback.

This is the obvious strategy that we all hoped we'd see in week 2 and then we saw the opposite. I'm afraid Rex will try to be cute again. I want to see Man coverage, Gilmore on Gronk, Darby on Amendola, and sending everyone not in coverage on the outside; while our front four push a wedge up the middle. I would maybe spy one person on the HB to watch the screen. Again, pry won't happen. And I we win, we have to score more than 24 points. Accept the Pats will score that many. You don't shut them down, you contain them

I can never support the Pats to win. Ever! And they play the game on the field, not on the "law of averages". Win or lose, they will be ready. The Pats don't ever forget to "show up". Now, Edelman being out.....

I watch Bills games with more emotion and attention that any other game in all of sports. When I watch anyone play the Pats, I get the same way. I just can't stand them. This Giants game was an emotional roller coaster. The NFL's golden boy Beckham dropping the td and the dropped INT when no one touched him was very Bills-esque. Just sickening.

Seriously? !@#$ the Pats. I always want them to lose. They should have lost this game 3 times already. !@#$ing bull **** drops

I think both teams took a quarter to figure things out, made adjustments at halftime, and we just took advantage more. We sometimes forget the other team is playing to win too. They made some good plays, we just made more. Good overall game and I liked the way we changed things up in the second half.

McCoy, Rambo, Darby, K. Williams In that order

We go best player available. If we are in a spot where one falls in our lap, we will take one. No matter what, we will take one somewhere, but I believe that all first round talent will be gone by our pick and we will not trade up unless TT gets hurt again this year

Well, happy how the offenses grinded down the defense and pulled away at the end. Still nervous how easy it was to expose our defense at times, but still only 17 points

For clarity, because to some it apparently wasn't. Them being healthy and coming off a bye will obviously be a big factor. I'm talking more about the fact that the Bills are the Bills are regardless of logic and how they should play, it's more about the overall futility of being a Bills fan

Not because they have all of a sudden gotten healthier. Not because they are a magically better team that figured it out. Nope, because it's what they do. They will try to make us Bill-ieve again so that some can get back on the roller coaster. Admittedly, they win today and Thursday in good fashion, I may have a glimmer of hope

Also, how the hell does Forrest and his kid not have AIDS?

It's funny, but I really thought about this when I was younger. To me, it's a matter of love or in-love. She always loved Forrest for who he was, but could never be in-love with him. She definitely didn't respect him as an equal and just kind of treated him like a neighbors puppy that she knew she could give back. She cared if something happened to him, but he was never going to influence her decisions nor would she make any decisions for him. When she comes back to him, it's because she needs to get herself back together. When she sleeps with him, I think it's more of a taking one for the team. She knows that he's in-love with her as much as she believes he can be with anyone. And, out of knowing she's that person to him, she does that for him. But leaves because he can't be that person to her. At the end, she calls him because she Needs a father for her child, which I think she would have called Forrest whether it was his or not. She marries him because he wants it, not because she does. It's more of a, I'm dying anyways and you're gonna raise my kid. End of the day, he was a convenience for her and technically a human being that cared about her. She used that when she needed it, but again, never respected him as an equal or a man

Yet here you are, still having to make a comment. It's funny how you get annoyed with the pessimism or whatever you want to call it, and your response is to get involved with your own brand of negativity.

I think it's harder this year because I really believe that, with the right coaching, we are a better team. Yes, the injuries suck, but the talent on the team isn't the problem for once and I think we easily could be 5-2. Beating the Giants and Jags. We wouldn't be perfect, but I'd be way more confident going into the second half

I will give you that. They beat them, I'm good for the season. But I'm not betting a $1 on it

I keep trying to read all of the optimism on here. I see how bad everyone else is this year and we are only a game out. I see our remaining schedule and know we are coming off a bye week. But with how we've been soundly beaten by good teams, barely beat the Titans, lost to the Jags, and overall state of our defense, I just don't know how to Bill-Iieve. It also doesn't help that the Pats look to achieve the undefeated season. And as everyone talks about what could happen, all I can see are the trends and what has happened. -Rex has been on a downward spiral for the last 4 years -Roman has had a crap offense for the last 2 years -The Bills have missed the playoffs for 15 years. Yes, there have been moments here and there within those truths, but the end results are fact. And right now, there's nothing I can do to not believe that the results will continue. No matter how healthy we get.

It's one thing to overcome poor play. A dumb Int, inaccuracy here and there, a fumble...but what he did in the first half was beyond that. This is like saying that a guy robbed you, but brought the stuff back and is on okay guy in your book. Sorry, his comeback doesn't count because they didn't win. His damage was too much

Yes, we shouldn't care what other people think. But having to be a Bills fan outside of Western New York is tough sometimes. We were in the public spotlight for the Pats game. This game is broadcast world wide. We have a Thursday night game against the Jets and Monday Night game against the Pats. I don't see us winning either of them. It's one thing to suck and be out of the spotlight like we have in the past, but to have 25% of our games (Losses) paraded for all to see....just sucks. Yeah, I wanted a nationally televised game, but hopefully one at home. This is just going to be salt on the wound.

It doesn't matter who it is anymore. That's the point. Blame the D one quarter, EJ the first half, the coaching at the end. It doesn't matter because the result is the same. We are all just dumb enough to let ourselves get caught up in different excuses so that we can find a reason to be back next week. injuries or not, I think another coach has us with a better record right now.
