Casey D

No kidding.

Insightful and helpful.

No one knows. It seems totally random and varies by the individual judgment of refs.

26 points.

In absolute terms, you are correct-- the D is far better than the O. But we all knew this team would only go as far as the D would take it. 26 against the Raiders is not what an elite defense does-- thus the end of the line.

Tired? Eff that.

Excuses excuses. 2-12 team. Oops 3-12 team. Yep.

Defense sucked!

The defense had 26 points hung up by Oakland today. 3 and 22 in a 19-17 game with 5 to play and they give up a 40 yard pass and then a TD. Our elite unit let us down today. Our offense stinks, but 24 should have been more than enough to win. The D came up small when it mattered most. Disappointing.

Not quite, but almost. Chiefs and Chargers could still tie.

Nah, if Detroit at Green Bay is for the NFC North, which is likely, no way they pass on a game like that from Lambeau.

Good stuff. Thank you.

But Jerry Sullivan said he was a genius and the Bills erred in not hiring him before the season opener.

I am quite confident this was neither unplanned or unprovoked. This is the Pegulas talking, without saying anything. You can bank on it.

Do you honestly think the Pegulas don't know what Brandon is going to say in a situation like this? Seriously? If you do, I've got some sweet land in Florida to sell you.

I doubt he will coach on a one year contract. He becomes a lame duck. He will either be extended or he will go. I suspect he will be extended, and the Pegulas will pay him his contract if they need to fire him after next year. I don't think they will care about dead coach money as much as RW did.

Plainly, no person on the face of the earth is an expert evaluator of QBs given all the swings and misses-- it is just about pure luck. If we could do it, we would become richer than avarice. So true

Rational points. But as a gut reaction it still seems low.

Seems mighty low. Bills must matchup better than I thought if that is the spread needed to keep the sharpies from jumping all over the Bills. Strange,

That's fair-- many fans are crybabies about all sorts of things, like QBs, OCs head coaches, front offices, etc etc. But that does not mean sometimes the officiating is always fair and good. Thus crybabies might be right occasionally, like a broken clock. IMO, Sunday's officiating was a joke. That's not to say anybody is out to get the Bills all the time, but the calls on Sunday at critical moments had a significant impact on the game, and made the underdog's chance of winning completely remote.

That's helpful. I don't think he is saying he wants him to go away. Rather his view is that Jerry is a poor excuse for a journalist. If Jerry can heckle the Bills, Bob has every right to heckle Jerry. Jerry says the Bills suck at their job. Bob says Jerry sucks at his job. Seems about right to me.

I don't either-- and it is correct to call him out. Sullivan just mails it in these days, he would not know effort if it bit him in the ass. The use of the word choke was particularly laughable, and showed how lazy he is. I don't know what you use to describe the Bills effort on Sunday, but losing as 10 point underdogs is not a choke. It plainly was meant to inflame, which is all he's got left in his bag of tricks. What truly reflects poorly on Sullivan is he has some talent, but he only evidences it about 5 times a year. I don't care about his bitterness-- he's entitled to his opinion. What is worse is his lack of respect for hard work and good journalism-- he just restates the same thing over and over without even caring if it makes sense in context. If he goes off over the Watkins trade one more time out of context, I think I'll puke. Puke-- now that's a funny word. Anyway, given his lack of effort, it looks like he'll retire soon, if he's not fired first in a cost-cutting move.

Kelly is unbearable.

Yeah, Marone really should have kicked it harder with a lot more English. What an idiot.

I'm not a homer-- and am quite disappointed. But you are simply a tool. Please leave. Or just start another I hate EJ thread, something you also excel at.
