Shoot. Nothing I hate more than missing sarcasm. I have to be better.

don’t assume that. Bills fans are some of the most knowledgeable, patient and rational bunch when it comes to their team. Oh, not assuming anything. Just making a joke about Allen's struggles against the Jets over the past 2 years and how that played out on this message board over the past week.

They also have developed another trend of getting whooped by the browns seeming every time lol can’t imagine giving a qb big money that gets absolutely owned by a division rival. Yeah, that would definitely not fly around here...

Guys, we're obviously just saving Elam for the playoffs.

Don't the Bengals start 0-2 every year?

Gotta make em count!

wentz is an awful comparable. Not from a physical tools standpoint... but a QB who was in the MVP conversation and signed a huge contract?

I'll admit that I have begun to have a growing concern that the Bills and Josh are teetering very close to the Carson Wentz trajectory. Of course, the Eagles made the difficult decisions and it's worked out well for them. Would the Bills ever do a thing like that? Probably not. (FWIW, I'm not advocating for anything drastic right now. Just going to watch it play out and hope for the best).

What 2021 season were you watching? That offense was abysmal for multiple games throughout that season... Pittsburgh, Indy, Jax, 1st half of Tampa Bay. Josh threw for 120 yards and 3 boneheaded ints against the Falcons two week before the No Punt Game... And oh yeah, that was all with the beloved Daboll running the Offense. Josh is who he is.

this thread alone is guaranteed to be at least 15 pages.

This team is what it is because of Josh Allen. That statement is both positive and negative.

Dan Campbell and Jared Goff are in year 3 together. Sean McDermott and Josh Allen are in year 6 together. History suggests that the Lions have a shot in the next 3 seasons (including this one). History suggests the Bills have no shot unless either McDermott or Allen goes. This history is represented here: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-coaches-and-qbs-should-divorce-after-five-years-of-not-winning and I've also verified it myself and included the seasons after this article was posted. Anyway, not saying the Bills can't or won't do it before the Lions. But right now, Analytics would give the edge to Detroit.

Humor is how I cope with the devastating realities of life... and football.

*Year 7 "non-process years" all get lumped into one

I think the process was just a 5-year-plan to turn the team around, which it did. But now we're in year 6 and there is no process anymore.

I mean, that doesn't mean anything. You can feel one way about Asian Americans and simultaneously feel a completely different way about Black Americans.

Yikes.

Well that was drag. But it's a long season and we've got to keep our spirits high. So here are tonight's top 10 silver linings! 1. We only have to play the Jets defense once more this year! 2. We might finally suck enough to draft a #2 WR like Tee Higgins! 3. We can free up a roster space by cutting Sam Martin since Josh Allen has assumed the role of punter! 4. We looked this bad in the 2021 opener and look how we ended that season! 5. We probably won't have to hear about the Jets being Super Bowl bound anymore! 6. Josh Allen quickly ended his MVP bid so he can lighten up and play more loose and free! 7. Turns out Leslie Frazier wasn't the issue with the run D! 8. Josh Allen didn't puke before the game! 9. Statistics say Josh Allen has to win an overtime game at some point. Best to save it for a time when it really matters! 10. There's no way this game wasn't scripted!

He wasn't. He doesn't meet their physical profile for corners. Well, then I guess this whole thing stings a little less. I'm feeling better already!

I'm not ready to go that far... but it definitely seems like there is more than this than meets the eye. What really stings is that on draft night, it seemed like Trent McDuffie was the guy they really wanted

I'm going to be watching tonight's game with the same zest that Buddy Nix approached free agency

Its all downhill from here......... The skier in me welcomes a solid downhill. steeper the better. it's too late now, but you should have got a snoo, or rented one. game cahnger. He's been such a solid sleeper in his short life. It really just started to change this week. He must be anxious about tonight's matchup...

I have zero energy but that's mostly because my 6-month-old has decided he doesn't need to sleep anymore.

The way I feel about the Chargers is how people are going to feel about the Bills if they don't win the Super Bowl this year: over it.

Seems that I can Well... at least your username fits 🙃
