Low Positive

I agree with this. But it must be said that Josh would have thrown that pass 3 years ago. He won't take those risks anymore because he is so afraid of throwing picks. I think McDermott and Brady have gotten into his head that INTs are worst the worst possible outcome, and the potential for a long TD doesn't change that. He only "takes what the defense gives him." They coached the gunslinger out of him. That's all fine, but it doesn't work when the Bills get behind by two TDs.

If you want Chiefs castoffs, how about Kadarius Toney (sp?)?

We're all going to have to come to grips with the fact that we have no control over Terry Pegula's decision-making. He might even have different priorities than the fans. But he fired GMs and coaches in his early days of owning the Sabres, like it was going out of style, only to get worse results. I think he might have learned the wrong lessons from that. But again, we as fans have no way to affect his decision-making. FWIW, I would clean house if I owned the team. But I would have done it after the playoff loss to the Bengals. That was when it was crystal clear that this group would not win it all. It was time to get a new vision. But Terry sees it all differently, and our favorite is his plaything. Perhaps we need to be more like English footy fans and consider the team our's, but as Americans, we don't tend to think that way. Terry bought the team with his own money, so he gets to run it into the ground if he so pleases, and there is nothing that we can do about it. We also need an OC that runs a different offense with new verbage. Josh needs the challenge of learning a new playbook. He looks frustrated and a bit bored, but I'm probably reading too much into it. I was raging yesterday, I slept on it, and came to the conclusion that it was a week 10 loss to a divisional opponent. These things happen. The game got away from the Bills early and they could never get on track. The Steelers lost in Cincinnati a few weeks ago and then beat the Colts. After beating the Steelers, the Bengals lost to the Jets and Bears. The Packers lost to the Panthers last week, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them beat the Eagles tonight. The damn Eagles lost to the hapless Giants a few weeks ago. Any team can beat any team this year. Except nobody can beat the Pats. That last point is what I think is driving our panic. It's just too much drought-era PTSD (not to make light of people who fought in wars or suffered real trauma, but there is no other term that comes to mind to describe our reaction).

I mean, we're looking at street free agents after week 10. You're not getting Ja'Marr Chase. You're not even getting MVS, although he could be signed from the Steelers' practice squad.

I'd rather take a swing at Dionte Johnson, who's currently sitting on his couch waiting for a call. He might be crazy, but he could always get open on Pittsburgh.

Others joke. I'll answer with the list of 'em: Diontae Johnson Odell Beckham Robert Woods Nelson Agholor Tyler Boyd Michael Gallup D.J. Chark Donovan Peoples-Jones Marquez Callaway Zach Pascal K.J. Osborn Justyn Ross Kadarius Toney Brandon Powell Jaelon Darden Kyle Philips Mike Strachan Equanimeous St. Brown Collin Johnson K.J. Hamler Grant Dubose Rakim Jarrett Mecole Hardman Samori Toure

Joke is right. No team from Buffalo will ever win anything. And it's the only city that I think that about. Cleveland has the Cavs. Detroit has the Pistons and Red Wings. Even Cincinnati has the Reds, who won a World Series in 1991. Buffalo has nothing, and it will always be that way. All while Boston just wins and wins. We deserve better.

And the thing is, the Bills players, GM, and even the owner don't understand how much this means to all of us. They were not here for 20 years of missing the playoffs and losign to the Pats. Heck, Josh Allen was a Tom Brady fan as a kid. So this is something for us to live with. They'll all just move on to other franchises or retirement in their beach-front mansions while we're stuck watching the Pats win 6 more Super Bowls.

I'm already starting to hate Drake Maye's smug, flat face.

Because Keon plays physically. The refs call it as hand-fighting.

Yes, they will. They are getting one this year. They are probably the best team in the NFL right now. And if they don't they will get some moster additions in FA with all that cap space. They played their second rebuild right after allowing Belichick to screw up the first one. It takes a complete bottom-out and a rookie QB to do it right.

Well, they currently have a SB-level roster and the most cap space in the league. So it would be kind of hard to screw that up.

Because in neither of those games did the Bills get their asses handed to them. They were close games that were decided by one or two plays. This one was a blowout to a bad team. This game, along with the Atlanta loss this year and the Colts loss in 2021 are the only times that I think McDermott didn't have his team ready to play. Maybe the Jags game in 2021.

He said that two weeks ago, after the Carolina game. I don't think he would have the stones to say that now.

And you know the Pats will win the SB this year. They have that look about them. And they have 60 million in cap space to make the team even better. Beane has botched this roster by overpaying for marginal guys he drafted, and we're in a hole for the remainder of Josh Allen's career.
