We lost a fricking game and are 5 - 2, let's not turn into drama queens and go into meltdown! Naturally we have to hang someone to vent our emotions! It's like a 1960's Soap Opera and a 1950's western combined!

The Bills Defense is SOLID. The Bills Offense is ATROCIOUS.

The Bills Defense is good, not great and this continual play it close to the vest and between the 20's eventually is exposed. And vs. a 3-4 team at home.
Lot's of lessons learned and hope the Coaching Staff has some answers.
Luckily the next 4 games are all very winnable.
OK, we lost a game and 5 - 2, let's not fall into TBD panic and drama looking for scapegoats, it happens and we are only half way through the season - why does the "coaching staff" needs answers? How about we just got beat!
Just now, Binghamton Beast said:The Bills have an a excellent defense that had a bad day.
Hell, the 85 Bears even had a couple off days.
Not allowed on TBD, win them all or face attack!

Excellent post! Sadly the target audience will quit in the 3rd paragraph and call the facts fake news.
Great point I will tell you what is not fake news, when the gun goes off to end the game and you have more points than the other team. How you got them don't mean squat and the end of December you either have enough wins to make the playoff, how you won them don't mean squat! Everything else is just hot air and gibberish - not necessarily fake news. FYI don't quit reading after the opening "Great point!

The fire McBeane crowd will show again, wait for a loss, they will be acreaming that we should have signed Antonio Brown or Beckham, won the Super Bowl this year then drop into mediocrity like we did for 15 years; it's coming!

I thought he was playing Troy aikman and Michael Irvin similar to Peyton Manning learning his first year while sucking. Obviously you know Jimmy minds better than me. I Iwill speak for Cowboy fans of that era- short of winning the super bowl in 1989 there was nothing Jimmy could have done to impress them, they were pissed that Landry was pushed out the door.
Absolutely, they dumped the whole organization and started over knowing they were going to get beat (Dolphins 2019) and knew they had to draft great and they did! Modern day NFL fans (millennials) want winning right away and just cannot grasp the pain of building a winning organization - Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones 1989 - 1992!

Johnson did not tank the year, he had no talent when he arrived and made a trade of his one best player for 8 draft picks. He did not make them much worse in 1989 but made them much stronger in the future. That is very different than tanking which is intentioanlly making your team bad.
You are wrong!!!! Cowboy fans blew snot bubbles throughout the next two years; BTW listen to Jimmy Johnson talk about those years then go home!

Nope to what? Come on. Use your words.
1989 Dallas Cowboys and Jimmy Johnson!
2 minutes ago, Buffalo Timmy said:I do not thing the NFL has a tanking problem- I know the Browns did it and Miami is now but it is not a likely scenario since it taskes so many players to be good in the NFL. Basically no rookie will be good enough by himself to turn a team around and a team would have to be bad 5 years to get enough guys together to make it work and no GM survives 5 bad years.
Same thing - Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones "tanked" in 1989 then drafted a dynasty!

They've jettisoned all their talent so they have no hope of winning regardless of who starts at QB. It's as tank as tanking gets.
Tough for the fans to stomach, I think. Very tough for the players and coaches to stomach because they put their time, energy, and bodies on the line to win.

Having said that, Eagles are likely going to be a tough affair.
This guy could trip over me and the only thing I would notice is the suit; why he is getting so much attention is beyond me; TBD!!!

Greatest post ever on TBD! Man those were some fights in the end zone - you are not only the Egg Man but the Walrus too! Awesome post I love it! Back in a really cool time to be a kid!

Some great posts and memories, many on TBD have no idea of 1968, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1984, and 1985 - six horrible seasons mixed with some good times!

I have never been a fan of the whole "what if" concept. (1) As you say, if one play changes, then the complexion of the game changes, at least for that moment, and maybe more. (2) Where doe s it end? You could literally find plays throughout every game that could affect the outcome. One could say the Bills were lucky that the Jets kicker missed an extra point and a field goal. One could also say the Jets were very fortunate to even be in that game in the first half when Buffalo was moving the ball up and down the field, only to keep turning it over.
My man!
1 hour ago, Shaw66 said:Anyone who thinks the Bills are world beaters isn't watching. They haven't been consistently solid in any phase of the game. Defense has been the best.
What the Bills are doing is building. They're building a team that I expect will win big in 2020 and 2021. What McDermott is doing is teaching, and the players are learning. They learn more each week, and McD expects them to retain what they learn.
Everyone talks about how bad Allen was in the first half against the Dolphins. I don't think the problem was that he was bad; the problem was that the Dolphins had the benefit of film study of the Bengals, Pats and Titans games. They figured out where they could attack the Bills defense and how to stop the Bills' staple offensive plays. So when went back to pass in the first half, he wasn't seeing what he expected. When Fitz went back to pass, he knew what he was getting, and his offensive line had good schemes to protect him against a line of average pass rushers who get little help from the blitz.
The first object is to win the game, and they did. The second object is for the coaches to learn and grow, so that the offense and defense adjust going forward. What worked for the Dolphins won't work so well in the future, and Allen will know better how to handle it.
It's possible the team will continue to grow fast enough that they'll win 12 games this year, but I don't think so. I think they will be like a lot of teams in the first year of a string of seasons in the playoffs. They'll be a wild card team, maybe a tough out, but they won't be consistently good enough across the board to go deep into the playoffs. Next season, they will add another layer of talent and depth, so the starting lineups will be stronger and there will be less likelihood of suffering when a Milano goes down. .
Great post!

He has to retire or leave the team eventually. Since you accused us of being drunk originally for thinking this could be the year. And suggested that 10 years ago it was more likely.
No!!! I think Brady leaving the Patriots for another team is drunk talk; if he retires so be it! He will never take a snap under center for another team; if you think he will you are dddddrrrrruuuuunnnnnkkkkk! And your bat phone won't help you!

In my humble opinion, John Elway is confusing correlation with causation.
He combined Manning with a great offensive mind in Kubiak, and combined some stellar defensive players with a great defensive mind in Wade Phillips.
Next year when they fell off with his great draft pick QBs Siemian and Lynch, he decided a new coach was the thing. Enter Joseph, McCoy, and Musgrave.
Maybe the problem isn't entirely the QB, and maybe the solution wasn't the coaches he hired.
Very good observation! This now competes for the silliest post ever on TBD and the fact we have many taking it seriously does not say much for Bills Fans!
