  1. First I would like to express gratitude for the updates, insight, and engaging discussion that occurs on this TSW. I rely on this website as my primary source of all things bills, and have done so for years. I rarely post, but lurk on almost all threads concerning the latest with the team. That being said, I felt compelled to speak up specifically about the worst aspect of this message board, and most likely all message boards: derision and trolling. It seems that more than half of the posts on TSW are confronted with snide comments and cheap sarcasm, often devolving into a petty flame war. What those involved don't realize, or perhaps don't care to consider, is that it ruins the thread for everyone else. If you see a post that seems stupid or ill-advised, appeal to your better judgment and just ignore it; if it is so, it'll go away on its own. Some fans have radical views. Others are less informed than others. But I have to say that I sigh heavily every time I follow a thread and it stoops to mockery and derision. This is not an anti-bullying campaign or a big ego stroke on my part. I am posting this for selfish reasons, because I don't want to waste my time reading petty arguments, and I am convinced that many feel the same. Not to mention that it discourages discussion, which is why this board exists. How about we all agree we love our woeful Bills and want to see them win. Post stuff that other people would like to read even if they don't agree with it, this message board would be far more pleasant for it. Go BILLS!

    Totally agree. Thank you for posting this. I don't bother to post on this board anymore for these exact reasons. Very discouraging.

  2. Being objective. Correct about EJ. Also correct about having no contingency for Watkins considering his injury was known about in camp. The rest of the assertions are off base or not within Whaley's control.

    Totally agree. The only thing I would say is that moving forward, assuming he is still with the Bills, is that we need a quarterback. Without a quarterback you don't have a chance I love Tyrod but he's just not the answer.

     

    That being said I hope he in the rest the Buffalo lights it up this weekend and kicks the Patriots' ass.

     

    GO BILLS!!!

  3. I typically don't post a whole lot on here, however I feel the need to say a few things and would like to hear some of your thoughts on what I am feeling as well. I waited for my emotions to chill out before posting. haha.

     

    I apologize in advance if any of this was covered in other topics.

     

    So I am from the Philly area and attended the game this weekend. Maybe it was from watching the 30 for 30 documentary on Saturday night that got me so fired up, but I have to tell you, I am getting sick of Shady McCoy. I understand that he was upset when he got traded and that he loved playing for the Eagles, but to see this guy, in a Buffalo uniform get on his hands and knees to "kiss" the Eagles logo and then apparently to not travel back w/ the team (if true) ticks me off. I feel like he doesn't want to be here, he could care less and that he isn't embracing what Buffalo is all about or what kind of a fan base WE have.

     

    My other thought is on Rex Ryan. Likeable guy/Players coach, whatever. But seems like he's just one of the guys and not a Leader of Men. At all. I think if he is going to retain his position of Head Football Coach, he should be the Head Football Coach and maybe move away from Dennis Thurman. This defense is way more talented than the way they have been playing. I'm not going to get into the gameday coaching or the penalties right now as you all probably can imagine how I feel.

     

    I also thought it was embarrassing how all three of these knuckleheads acted while walking thru the tunnel after the game (McCoy, Ryan, Thurman).

     

    Anyway, I love the Bills and want to win. And right now I can't see us winning with these guys...wait a minute...we aren't winning, are we?

     

    Thanks for letting me vent!

  4. This is an 8-8, 9-7 roster at it's best.

     

    Reality check folks.

    Agreed. Especially with this coaching staff. We are man-for-man good enough to beat mediocre teams and maybe a little bit better. You add egotistical, unorganized, irresponsible coaching...we are 8-8 at best.

     

    Really upset right now. No excuse for this performance. We are not a contender at all.

    Reality is your a troll who only posts stuff like this. No McCoy and Watkins hurt the offense a ton.

     

    Enjoy the losses bud, we all know you do.

    Yeah ok. Look shady and Watkins are big losses but buffalo was flat and out coached. You have to have seen that.

  5. I really like Brown. He's a very exciting runner. But Rex's comments were definitely not just about the Chiefs game. Living in the Philly area, Bryce Brown was known for fumbling all over the place. I heard about it time and time again. That was one thing I was worried about when the Bills traded for him.

     

    Unfortunately, I agree. He won't be with the Bills long I don't think. It's unfortunate, because he'd be great if he could just hang on to the ball.

     

    Go Bills!

  6. Shady, Baby!!!

     

    Let's Go Buffalo!!!!!!!!!!

    Very bold move by Whaley. i love kiko but im starting to think he wont have a long nfl career. shady is costly but makes our offense that much more dynamic under new OC Roman. whaley has impressed me alot during his tenure. the hughes - shepard goes down as one of the better trades in modern nfl history.

  7. Wow! Woke up this morning and heard the news. Completely shocked the hell out of me. Like it or hate it, finally not an unispiring hiring. The more I think about this, the more I love it. Especially if Buffalo is able to retain Schwartz and bring on Trestman or Roman.

     

     

    I love my Bills!

    Better promote Schwartz to assistant HC and pray that those two will gell.

     

    agreed!
