Or Shady...i don't want to drive in traffic on the interstate so I'm going to drive 500 miles out of the way through every stop sign between here and there to avoid the traffic. it'll only take 5x longer but I will have made a point

Good post, I'd like to make one small correction. Rex is not a bonafide clown, he failed out of clown college. So he's a failed clown, which is somehow worse

The Ryan brothers, and anybody in their slowzone proximity (approximately 35 yards, I believe) cannot think quickly or clearly, I believe we're seeing the second order effects of that here

agreed, keep him on ice until 2133

The bones in sammy's feet are mature beyond his years, that much we know for sure.

I cant even look forward to the draft, they'll just ruin some poor college kid who had dreams of being a success. it's death of a salesman, NFL style

They should put him on IR then preemptively on next year's IR too. In fact, they should see about some kind of suspended animation until foot replacement technology has caught up to his predicament. Maybe keep him on ice until our next playoff appearance in 2132, and bring him in for that, at least until the 3rd play when he gets injured again

Hot Take! I have good news for you, yesterday's Bills looked eerily similar to a Dick Jauron coached team. Maybe he never left the building. Let's listen to Rexy's presser and wait for him to say "it's hard to win in the NFL" so we know that the transformation is complete

Exactly what I was saying last night, 6 points is an iron clad, 100% insurmountable deficit for the Bills, with less than a half to play. They will not come back if they have to score a TD, period. If they're down 2, they might luck into a FG, but the way this team is built and coached, I do not believe they have the mental fortitude to fight through adversity, or a determined opponent. Rex's style and demeanor, not to mention his coaching skills and gameplan, do not belong in the NFL.

aaaaaaaaaaand that's coaching and leadership. When the Bills hired Rexy, one of my coworkers, jets fan, said, i know you're excited, but I promise you that you will regret this within 3 years. Welp, Bruce, thanks, you were right, if a little conservative on the schedule

you made me think of the shortbus going by with the neighborhood kids making that sound that the minions make...your 2016 Buffalo Bills!

meh, i'm sure the Bills will win a couple few games this year just because systemic parity and the law of averages basically demand it, maybe Darby gets the pick 6 next time, maybe they sustain a drive, who knows, but I don't think anyone with a strait face can claim that they are a playoff team this year. Not with the patchwork O-line and tissuepaper watkins as the #1 threat, and the village idiot coach

I had a thought as I watched the ARI-NE game last night, that both of those teams were simply FASTER than the Bills. I don't mean in strait 40 times, because we have all sorts of track stars on the team. I mean, in how fast the players execute plays, come out of the huddle, get in their stance, and do whatever they do. The pats in particular seem to be moving in quick-time compared to the Bills. Is the thick headed slovenly nature of our coaching and management permeating the very speed of movement of the players? Are they so checked out already that nobody's in a rush to do anything, and don't even really want to break a sweat?

It's up to the individual though. Yes, of course, the Bills are going to be somewhere between terrible and sub par this year, if yesterday is any indication whatsoever. Each of us though can choose to do something else with our time. Sunday afternoons in upstate NY should be treasured, spent outside while the weather holds, not spent in front of a TV watching another half hearted effort by a team mailing it in. I mean, if they couldn't get excited fro the game yesterday, what hope is there for any other game? Thursday night, I think I'll take my son to the range and put some holes in paper.

Agreed. That was a terrible game, played by a terrible team who seem to be running for the buses already. Let's not turn on eachother, this board has more heart than the team does

Yeah, nobody circles the wagons like the buffalo bills on their way to a 6-10 season, considered by most to be overachiving after losing 85% of their original projected lineup to drug suspensions, paper cuts, murder charges, sadbrains, and in several cases, getting lost on the way to the stadium never to be found, your 2016 Buffalo Bills!

I mean, do you think you're being clever by point 'if' out? It's ALL if. IF sammy's foot doesn't get better, his career will be cut short, and our #1 will be Robert Woods. How about that, I can do that too

We'll see I guess. If Sammy misses time due to injury, again, or plays, but at a reduced level, at some point we need to accept the reality that he isn't going to be elite in the sense that he has to be planned around. I mean he's better than most bills 1st round picks, but that bar is pretty low

I think it finally happened for me today. After the bonehead penalty that gave the Ravens a 1st down on their FG in the 3rd or 4th, I said to my wife, let's call it a day and go for a walk, it's really nice out. She said, they can still win! to which I replied, nope, not this team with this coach. 6 points down with 15 minutes left is an insurmountable lead against this team this year. I'll be sure to check back and eat crow if i'm wrong, but I'll toxx myself and predict that the Bills wont win a single game this year where they are 6 points down going into the 4th. We went for a walk, ran into some neighbors, it was nice. I looked at my phone when we got back to see, to the surprise of exactly nobody, the Bills finished like a wet fart. It's not just a lack of skilled players, because in the abstract you can probably argue that they have some pretty good players, on paper at least. It's that they are poorly coached, and the only time they show any fire whatsoever is when they're committing personal fouls. Furthermore, and I think this bothers me as someone who manages people for a living, they are clearly an undisciplined mess. Between the penalties, and all the off the field nonsense, it's clear to me that few of these players take their profession seriously, nor have any fear that their behavior carries any sort of consequence. That's 100% on management, either in that they continue to pick players with all sorts of warning signs around them, or that the tone that has been set by management and leadership is bad, immature, and unprofessional. I've been a fan for 40+ years, thick and thin and all that, but I guess i've just gotten to the point where the loyalty is one way, and the team is happy being mediocre (let's hope they can achieve mediocre this year, maybe the pundits saying 6-10 saw something we didn't, or didn't want to). I'm also an Alabama Crimson Tide fan, and the difference between a program run by talented pros versus one run by clown school dropouts has never been more obvious. We'll take our pleasure watching Alabama, because even when they lose, they're fighting. I wish I could say the same for our Bills, but i'm finally forced to admit, there wont be playoffs this year, and i'm going to take my medicine and realize it now rather than when they go on a 3 game streak in november only to lose the last 5 or whatever and break our hearts again.

Outside of a few Fantasy sites I read, pretty much nobody is paying any attention to the Bills O, even with the success they had last year. It's almost as if they're just sniffing eachothers farts and writing whatever comes to mind

lol. I havent lived in Buffalo since I left for college in 1988. That car is basically how I remember Tonawanda.

So, what, pick Slauson up at the airport in the Bills staff car, the Honda Fit?

I'd like to see what Miller has this year, but honestly, depth on the OL is a luxury we havent had in so long, I dont see any downside to this. Go get em, Whaley!

I'm with Bill on this. Ragland is a special player, who had the benefit of great coaching and being surrounded by other solid players. I'm not sure that any of this applies under sexy rexy, but I can promise you that Ragland will work harder than anyone else, and any lack of results will not be for a lack of effort.

This Fitz fellow, I decided to look a bit further into him, and I've come upon a piece of information that you might all find enlightening and useful. It turns out that he is, in fact, a graduate of Harvard University! I think that this would be of interest to the various concerned parties, and that the broadcast organizations and their play by play teams should be made aware of this, stat!
