Low Positive

No, it's because people can't be rational about their own teams. Read this thread entitled FIRE ZAC TAYLOR NOW!!!!: https://thebengalsboard.com/thread-39207.html

It's funny how people here can be rational about teams like the Bengals and 49ers still having time to turn it around, but not about the Bills. I mean, the Bengals are 1-4 and the 49ers are 2-3.

He's not bringing anything to the calls that fans don't already know. He could, of course, do what Romo did early on in his career but he doesn't for whatever reason. My favorite announcer in any sport is Hubie Brown. I learn something about basketball every time I watch a game he's calling. BTW, AFAIK he's still calling and teaching the game at 91. One of a kind.

KC had all three TOs. If they didn't, 13 seconds wouldn't have happened.

Knowing that the team will be worse this year and actually watching it are two different things.

Remember that Thanksgiving game in Detroit? Similar situation. In that case, Josh threw a laser to Diggs to set up a game-winning FG. Now, he has no one to throw that to. That's on Beane. Everytime I think that I am over this one, I just keep coming back to the fact that the GM punted on a season for cap reasons. Why does the cap not apply to the Cowboys and Eagles but it does to the Bills. Is Terry not willing to write those checks anymore.

They still have to play Pittsburgh twice. Mike Tomlin has Zac Taylor's offense all figured out. They have to play the Ravens again in Baltimore and then will lose at least one of their two against the Browns (they do every year). If they split with the Steelers (which they will) that make 7 probable losses. And they'll lose to one of the Eagles or the Cowboys. That loss to the Pats in week 1 was brutal.

The problem is that pass rush is the strength of this upcoming draft. This WR class is not very good.

Don't look now, but Cincinnati is 1-4. That is a heck of a hole to dig out of.

Didn't you hear? He's practicing responsible cap management. It feels like he cares more about the cap situation and draft picks than actually winning football games.

Pegula really likes McDermott as a person. He won't fire him.

And their strength was supposed to be hands

I love when a big play happens and you can tell who's streams are behind

That's what's killing me. The Ravens can't run against the Cincinnati run D while they ran all over us. Also the GD Jags almost beat this same Texans team last week. Those first three weeks were a mirage. This is what we are.

I'm usually one of the most positive posters on this board, but this game, combined with the Ravens sudden inability to run against the worst run D in the league, is breaking me.

All of them. We need everything.

I'm not talking about this game. I'm talking about the roster in general. You see it here, but you also saw it last week and you could see it before he season started. They decided to do a cap reset year, subjecting a fanbase just waiting for the other shoe to drop to a year of bad football. I realize that there is some teambuilding logic to this, but as a fan of this team since I was born in Buffalo Children's in 1973 I just can't take the lack of urgency of this front office. WE NEED TO WIN NOW!!!!!!

I knew it was too good to be true. The NFL is now back to its natural state with a sorry a** team in Orchard Park. Brandon Beane, Sean McDermott, Josh Allen, and everyone else in this organization didn't live through the drought. They have no idea what we went through. If they did, they wouldn't have punted on a season. I'm just sick right now because they decided to give up a season to get their precious cap right while other teams keep pushing things into the future. Maybe Terry doesn't want to pay anymore. In any case, I think that I give up. There are no solutions in-season or even in a single off-season that will fix this. You can't improve the OL, DL, secondary, and WRs in one offseason.

This looks like rookie Josh, where he doesn't trust anyone. Forget Diggs, we need a Cole Beasley.

I feel like the other shoe has dropped. This is the worst that this team has looked since 2018, and then we had hope with a rookie QB. I feel no hope now. Diggs did in fact make Josh Allen.

Injuries take talent off of the field. If they don't matter, then talent doesn't matter.

You can't on one hand say "the Bills need more talent on their roster" and then on the other hand say "injuries are a lame excuse." Injuries take talent off of the field. Sometimes a team reaches a breaking point where they go from competitive to non-competitive due to injuries. I think that our defense may have reached that point.

Other kickers miss. See?

He's forcing this trade to the Jets, just like Diggs forced his way to Houston. The NFL is becoming the NBA.
