Bills will lose. Offense will show zero heart or ability to adapt. We lose this by more than 10

Please don't hijack this thread with your own unsolicited political opinions. OP can post this here because it's something done by a football player - perhaps the discussion should be based on Hauschka taking a chance speaking out rather than debating the issue of race inequality.

I feel like this is like one of those weird, oddly specific baseball stats: Most-CTE-by-a-27-year-old-in-that-we've-measured-CTE-in-approximately-2-people-and-his-was-worse-than-the-other-guy's.

Rob Ryan has to wake up every morning and be Rob Ryan, let's give the guy a break cause the universe hasn't.

I disagree. I haven't bothered to read what I'm sure was a compelling factual argument, but responding solely on the title I would say there are many bs Bills fans.

Yeah, let's hold someone accountable for the rebuild in the first year it's being done. Can we also hold them "accountable" for playing really, really solid D that returned NONE of its starting DBs? We should also hold them "accountable" for all those draft picks we picked up that should land us a franchise QB. This team was built to run the football and play solid D because that's what we have. Getting value for a WR that was not going to re-sign here and was not going to be properly used anyway while acquiring draft capital is a smart move. Trading a CB who doesn't fit the scheme - also a smart move. This Oline is not good at pass-blocking, but they can run block. You do the best you can with what you have.

Jags will play in the Pinstripe Bowl this year for sure then.

TT doesn't get yanked unless the playoffs are out of reach. You'd lose the vets if you bench Tyrod regardless of how he plays because you're essentially admitting the season is over. Peterman is not a worldbeater, of he were he would have won the job in training camp. When and if our season is officially over you may as well start the rookie to see how good he is while preparing to draft a QB in rd1. We'll not get the top QB in this draft, but I'm fine with #2. The Jets will have the top pick in the draft and won't trade out of that spot.

Well this is a flat out lie. You doom and gloom around this board with every post, you love the losing because you think it makes you relevant.

I knew our offense was bad, but even I didn't think they would be this pathetic. Playing with absolutely no heart

This game is going to crack wide open for them in the 2nd half. Our D is going to be completely gassed

D has no chance because our offense is so terrible.

I get the lack of love, but the top 10 hate makes zero sense

Even with a busted should Cam Newton is about even with TT. Panthers have more talent on their roster though. We'll probably lose by 2 scores

OP trolls 100% of the time. If you see his name, know he's talking trash.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it ends somewhere in the 500s

I second this.

Nope. Their LBs and decent DL will shut down our offense and we'll be settling for too many FGs to keep up. 16-24

We could have several advantages and still lose this game based solely on the difference in talent. If we win, I'd be shocked.

He was a better edge defender than pass rusher in college. I don't see him developing into some dominant sack master, just a competent end. If he can get somewhere in the 5-6 sack range I think we can call that a successful season for him

He has a shoulder bruise, he's not missing significant time for a bruise.

I understand both of your points, but crushing a team has to be reflected in the score. We have all too often played well enough to win games only to lose the plot at key moments. I am encouraged that we weren't ever really threatened by them, but to crush a team I think you need to slam the door shut and we didn't do that.

We beat a bad team that is in the race for the first pick in the draft and we didn't crush them. That said, I am cautiously optimistic that this team is headed in the right direction - didn't fold when things went against us and actually finished the game well. I don't think we have the talent to make it to the playoffs, but I do think we are developing a core group of solid players who can actually hold together a locker room and grow into being a good team. Best case scenario for this year is Tyrod develops into a franchise QB and we can use all our high rd draft picks next year to draft the skills position/lb/dl talent core we need; add them to a solid group of veterans and make it to the playoffs next year. Worst case - Tyrod treads water and we trade half our picks to move up in the draft and draft a franchise QB and we're 2 years away from the playoffs. Either way, arrow is pointing up. I was super encouraged by the rush defense and I'm very happy that Poyer looks like a great pick up. Humber played really well too. Next week will tell just how solid that D is though, because the Panthers have a ton of weapons.

+1. The concept of paying to read their work is ridiculous. It'd be akin to paying someone to give you chlamydia.

That's great! Except both our coach and GM have both stated that we haven't SEEN "this system" yet. So if you mean Peterman is a better fit for no scheme, vanilla, pre-season football then yes, you are correct.
