Part of your "problem" (sorry, bad way to put it) is you became a fan as the Bills were reaching their peak as a franchise. You had 7-8 good years, plus a couple Flutie years, to enjoy your fandom. Those good, early years left a strong impression of a really good team that was well run and fun to watch. However, more recently, you are seeing the team that someone like me started with in 1968. Bad players, bad coaching, bad management and bad luck. The press is jumping down their throats and ridiculing the team you love. It's a painful thing to watch. Try to not take it so seriously - enjoy it for what it is - a diversion and a chance to commiserate with like-minded people and have some fun for a few hours each week. Don't take it personally when anonymous people on a message board dish out tough love. They are people that are hurting too; they are just dysfunctional in showing it. And don't try to drink it away - that ends badly.

The Buffalo News articles today about the Whaley presser read like the posts on TSW, complete with memes.

I just hope that Bucky is able to get to the bottom of exactly when Rex heard about the rumors of his firing.

Haven't you been on this site long enough to know weak sarcasm when you see it? Unless.....YOUR response is sarcasm.... Hey, wait a minute!

Is Gugny on suicide watch?

It's like driving a winter "beater" car - except we don't have a sporty convertible summer car yet.

Excellent!

The Billsy result would be EJ throwing 4 TDs and the D shutting them out.

By starting EJ, haven't the Bills made it clear they are tanking?

You must work at McDonalds. I thought you were in the medical field?

I don't see any quotes that equate to your claim of him "clearly stating" nonsense. And you conveniently ignore the point I am trying to make by focusing on the complexity argument. You didn't answer the questions about your job or about my "lying". Care to stay on point?

That is what I read. Show me the lines in the article where he is "clearly stating" all of the things you claim. And while you are at it, show me where I was "clearly stating" Scott is lying. Apparently your definition of "clearly stating" means "my delusions".

You must be reading a different interview because I am not seeing all these statements you are attributing to Scott. Got a link so the rest of us can be in on these conversations you've had with him?

In your job, would someone with 12 years experience think the job was easier or less complicated than someone with two years experience? Again, I'm not commenting on the complexity of the defense, I'm commenting on how two people with drastically different levels of experience will view the same job.

I didn't say it was complicated. I said it's not fair to compare the views of someone who has 12 years experience in a system with someone who has 2.

Maybe if Dareus had 12 years experience in Rex's defense instead of two he'd feel like Scott does. Kind of hard to compare someone who could probably coach the scheme to someone just getting into it. That being said, other than Kyle Williams, I don't see too many Bills on D that have the desire to work and succeed like Bart Scott had. I think it really comes down to that. You haven't heard Kyle whining.

Last week's Miami game says "hello"

If this isn't a cry for help, it should be.

Like every other phase of this team, Carp and ST came up small at clutch time. Offense couldn't finish the job twice in OT and D fell apart at the end in regulation and OT. This team is anti-clutch in every way and it starts at the top.

Two other words I learned on TSW are "Jason Isbell". I had not known about him before reading a discussion about him here. Have grown to love his music and the stories he tells. Thanks for the Christmas present TSW!

Even if Gilmore wasn't hurt and he was out there for that play, it still would have gone down the way it did. Did you see Gilmore's tackling prowess this year at all? Me neither.

Conflate and optics People must be watching too much MSNBC, CNN and Fox News

Hey Scrooge - can we at least wait until after Christmas to fire people?

Just curious - when you post are you drunk or driving or just need bifocals? 😜
