Because the amnesia, and the continual beating on Peterman long after he's gone, indicates that some Bills fans can't let go of their whipping boys, to the point where they have to make them worse than they were. It's a kind of cognitive dissonance, the flipside of which is those who will not admit any flaws in their heroes. Look up Manichaeism.

I guess if Daboll has the chance to be a HC then the Bills ought to let him interview. But I hope he does not end up going there. I hope he realizes what he's got going here.

It has been proven, right. So why do Bills fans have to keep beating on him whenever anything even tangentially related to him comes up? Did he piss in their cornflakes or sleep with their girlfriend?

Before Peterman threw the interceptions that led to the Texans winning, he threw a touchdown pass that put the Bills ahead in the fourth quarter. I find it interesting that so many Bills fans have erased this part of the game from their memories.

I'm tired of the Daboll hate. I think he's doing better than a lot of people on this board say.

WTF are you talking about? I didn't say not play him. I think they SHOULD play him. But he still acts like a jackass when he makes a catch.

I wish Williams would not act as if he won the Super Bowl every time he makes a seven yard catch. It's ludicrous.

I thought he tore up his knee. After he had surgery and came back, the fans called him "Golden Retreads." Fond memories. RIP.

I do wonder sometimes if his career will be Mark Sanchez or Ben Rothliesberger. I like Allen and want him to succeed. He seems to be heading more in the Rothliesberger direction at this point. But Sanchez at one point looked to be heading toward being a franchise QB.

Magox was being sarcastic, dude.

This one

Great comment. I was in agreement with Badol's analysis of what was possible, and it bothered me greatly when McBeane ditched so many good players, but I've come around since then. I think the culture change McD has managed is very important, as important as personnel changes.

Been a Bills fan since the 1960s. There were some hard moments, but I never abandoned them. It just feels like part of my identity at this point. It's a pleasure to see them play well, and not just that, to feel that they have turned a corner and are on an upward path. I remember feelign this way in the late 1980s as the Marv Levy Bills became a juggernaut. I was not impressed with McDermott and Beane when it seemed they were determined to get rid of every good player on the team, but I was wrong and I'm happy to admit it.

I'd award a "B" given the stage, the circumstances, the conservative play calling

It does not matter one iota what these guys say, it only matters if the Bills win. If Allen plays well who cares what some stat freaks think?

Sure, move it to wherever is appropriate. I think both of those possessives are correct. There is some leeway in these things. Every day I thank the Lord that I am not a Jets fan.

I seem to have upset you. Feel free to ignore anything I say.

Sure. Everybody makes mistakes or can't be bothered sometimes. Me, too. But I (and suspect you, too) know the difference between a mistake and ignorance. Ignorance is not really anything to be ashamed about. We're all ignorant about things we don't know. But once you've learned, is it so hard to get it right?

Well, what I am correcting here is punctuation, not grammar.

I did not know that. But it's in keeping with my belief that grammar checkers are moronic.

Not if you say three Our Fathers and make a good Act of Contrition.

I know this’is not something most people care about, but please, for the love of ‘God’, YOU DO NOT NEED AN APOS’TRPHY TO MAKE A SINGULAR NOUN PLURAL. IT IS’ ALWAYS WRONG. It's "the Bills" not "the Bill's." The "Patriots," not the "Patriot's." I saw two "dogs" in the street. Not "dog's." I know that this is a common mistake--but it's the fact that it's so common that drive’S me nut’s There are some tricky rule’s for apostrophe’s, and everybody makes mistake’s sometime’s, but THIS IS NOT HARD. Do an old man a favor and learn this simple rule. Your life will be immeasurably better, your s’ex life will improve, and your income will jump by 15%, and the Bill’s will beat the Pat’s. REMEMBER: Possessive pronouns like its, his, hers, ours, whose, theirs, etc. NEVER take an apostrophe. Ever’ ever’ ever. For the love of god, apostrophe’s do not make things plural.

Despite his talents and his success, I did not care for Doug Flutie while he was here. He seemed to me to be too much about Doug Flutie. But YMMV.

Very similar to my own story. Which of us is older? I graduated from West Seneca High School in 1968.

You're right. But you change kickers only if you have a better option.
