There was little denying he looked the best in pre-season... but my fears were answered quickly... He is not an NFL worthy QB

Yep and i didnt need or want to read it. I gave up reading him because of this style. I guess i dont like getting kicked in the nuts and then instead of geting an ice pack for my nards i get another kick in jewels from Sully, Bucky or the rest. This is what it is. I actually have removed news in general from my life, and my life is better for it. But when it comes to my past times i am definitely not interested in overly negative pessimistic commentary while im witnessing it 1st hand for 16 games. For me Sully was always sharpening his ax. It became a huge bore

He just doesn't get it. I didn't need to read the negativity, I watched the games. I didn't need nor want to read the constant finding of new things he chose to whine about. There was room for occasional articles telling it like it is, but i dont think i can remember Jerry ever finding a positive without reminding the reader it was screwed up. I choose to watch the Bills and i sure didnt want to sum up bad games and seasons with more levels negativity Reading Jerry Sullivan is a lot like playing old school depressing county music while drinking a 5th of whiskey and cleaning your shotgun... right after your wife leaves you.

SO you didn't watch any preseason games. Allen showed plenty of positives IMO.. But Peterman didn't just beat out the rookie he owned his preseason and won it straight up Passing Statistics Player Att Comp Yds Comp % Yds/Att TD TD % INT INT % Long Sck Sack/Lost Rating Josh Allen 44 24 210 54.5 4.8 2 4.5 0 0.0 27 7 51 82.6 Nathan Peterman 41 33 431 80.5 10.5 3 7.3 1 2.4 35 2 9 124.7

posters / thread starters need to stop over thinking this stuff

Bills are 17-15 since they built the new stadium in 1987. We need a thread for the Even Keel's

I just cannot argue with this logic.... I usually reserve final judgement till mid October...

I rather not suffer the season and have to look forward to the offseason before October is over with though.

I am positively scared shitless

I appreciate Ralph for one and only one reason. For keeping the bIlls in Buffalo and keeping the odds high they would stay here at his passing. After that .. yeah I despised his management style I also agree Beane and McDermott need to stay in place for a minimum of 5 because we cannto keeping switching coaches and schemes every 2 -3 years.. It doesn't build a foundation..

Top 10 things that Marv Levy said to the Buffalo Bills at half time during Superbowl XXVIII Number 1 was and by the above quote I mean to say.. Nobody strategizes bad play

I fail to see the reason for conspiracy theories. Peterdude clearly won the QB battle. CLEARLY.. You did watch right ? I agree with putting Peterman in last year because Taylor was underwhelming and at that point the team needs to be B word slapped. It didn't work out the way anyone would of wanted but I still think it woke the team up some I doubt McDermott needs some kind of re-assurance.. He's a professional.. Re-assurance is a need for insecure fans who have to have some sort of far fetched reasoning to justify something they didn't agree with or a place to lay some sort of blame

Playoffs or bust.

I always wait till end of Sept to mid Oct before I throw in a towel... By then there is usually little doubt I'm not brimming with confidence but I thought Peterdude look solid in preseason. He earned the starting roll convincingly

LMAO.... Ok you choose to be this guy...

also a heluva a learning experience... QB's who are going to make it can move on from this and get better. Those that don't wallow in it and fade away fast

I see a much different Peterdude this preseason. I still worry about him throwing those out patterns but he did look sharp this preseason He is going to to toss INT's occasionally but can he overcome it by driving the team down and scoring. All the serviceable to great QB's tossed their share of INT's.. It comes down to being able to overcome it and strike back

I just hope that our Oline scheme was zone blocking in pre-season simply because we needed the work in that area but when it comes to the game Sunday we will be employing a much more polished blocking scheme that is more suited for the personnel we have. If this is not the case then Allen could very well be starting the game by the 2nd quarter and then you have to wonder who starts the 3rd quarter.. God forbid our 4th string option by games end.. I am haunted by nightmares of our OL from preseason. I might be eating Lorazepam all day sunday

23.3 million a year average works out to about 13% of there salary cap but 90 million is guaranteed. SO one knee injury and that is a lot of coin wasted.. Lots of risk for team that was 5-11 last year and most likely has lots of holes. I have to claim ignorance here but I don't see a 5-11 Bears team becoming super bowl champs because of Mack. But now they are down 2 - 1st rd picks a 3rd and a 6th in the next 2 drafts so if it doesn't pan out they will be in dire straights for 5 or so seasons because of it. I am very ok with the Bills not giving up that many assets and coin for Mack given the fact that this team is no where near a Mack away from SB victory.

Teams still not ready. I think you're throwing numbers. Look at all those numbers

Not sure what you're disagreeing with. The participation on this forum is extremely low a few days before a season opener.. As for me personally... hope for the best... but there is a very large lack of vibe happening right now... Its just doesn't feel nearly as intense as it has felt in past years.

disagree.. Without a solid core, no position player outside the QB position is going make that large of a difference to take a basement dweller to the Superbowl. Bills have a couple more years to grow and have no business trading away draft capital and using up a huge amount of cap space. This is my opinion

teams had to game plan for Mario which opened up a lot of others on those D's. Lots of value right there.. I do agree Mario was great but he could of been 1st ballot Hall of Fame great

disagree.. you can not eat up salary cap space on a team not ready for prime time

the low level of board participation a few days before the season opener is deafening
