Okay. A not unpopular opinion around here. But then what? Keep going to games? Keep buying gear? Actually stop watching? Me, I have been following since 88. I have been detached last year and this year. I cancelled cable TV this year (g'bye NFLN and ESPN and RedZone). I found another team in another sport on another continent to follow, since I cant root for any other american team. I'm so bad that it wasnt until this Tuesday that I actually realized the Bills play on Thursday night. Buffalo born and raised. And I remember when being a fan was actually . . . fun. Otherwise, in the greater scheme, what's the point? Fool me 15 times, shame on me. As I approach 50, I realize that every hour is precious. Your plan?

I'm not sure why TT doesn't ignore the radio and just run the offense in the hurry-up. Roman is so slow he should be a supervisor at the DMV. Wait, I apologize. That's insulting to DMV supervisors.

LabattBlue Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Your plan? If nothing better to do, I'll watch the game. Nice fall Sundays...get the heck out of the house. Spend as little money on the Bills as possible. Get a rosary and start praying. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinpop Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 It's no longer Tyrod time....unfortunately, the common denominator is front office personnel decisions. We can blame these remedial players, as they are a "byproduct" of Doug Whaley's poor draft picks. He hung his hat on EJ and now Tyrod with a half-ass committed $90MILL contract. It is plain and simple- "gut" the front office and coaching organization like the Sabres did and put in a solid GM who can effectively draft quality players. It starts with a franchise QB (not EJ or Tyrod). Hiring Rexy who wanted to make us a "bully" was never a good move in the first place. He is a Defensive Coordinator at best in the NCAA. Rexy has an undisciplined team full of suspensions and penalties. Good teams just don't put up with these violations... Maybe the average Bills fan's expectations are so low over the past 16 years, that Rexy could be "sold" as the next big thing. Time to move on from Rexy, Whaley, and Brandon. Time for some wholesale changes this year! Wake up Peguals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A franchise QB still needs a good team around him. Take a look at the mess that is Atlanta, NY Giants, New Orleans over the past few years. They all have what are considered to be franchise type QBs . But because the team around them is not well balanced, they have sucked even worse than the Bills over the past few seasons.

maddenboy Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Go on... tell us who... To no effect. Point is, fandom should actually provide a benefit to the fan. Team doesnt have to go 16-0 every year, but there should be . . . fun. I've watched that other team 7-8 times. And its actually fun. I was almost ashamed of how much fun. Then I realized how dead the Bills have made me. And since I cant root for any team in any American sport, . . . ---- (I dont mean this as a "cry cry" post. I mean it to remind us that there are alternatives. You only live once. Fandom should be fun. Beyond the "fun" of talking junk on a message board 7 days per week. Not that that isnt funnish, but the Bills havent given us joy in 20 years. Fool me 15 times, shame on me.)

Your plan? I had already committed to friends and family to play in several cash fantasy football leagues this year or I would do the exact same. My intention now is to cut satellite TV as soon as football is over this year (ESPN and the networks have become cesspools and every other cable show is some personality driven reality show), and if the NFL doesn't get its act together on several issues I'll be letting my fandom become very casual and by that I mean no more memorabilia and MAYBE streaming 550 AM on gameday. Thats it. You and I are about the same age, I just started on the Bills train earlier than you did (44 and possibly my last year) but looks like we may be getting off at the same stop.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I see no way they'll exercise the option on his contract extension for next season without an unexpected turnaround. He's far too limited to be an effective NFL starting caliber QB with any consistency from series to series let alone game to game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 at what point do they play EJ to see if he has anything left if TT continues to look like JP? At what point does Jones come in? So sick of seeing 3 and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I believe you play Tyrod until you are sure he isn't the answer. If you reach that point (and I am not sure if we get there) then you play Cardale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Probably right. The rules and the league are geared for QBs and the passing game. We haven't had either since Drew Bledsoe for crying out loud. Talented team, no doubt and when the injured and rule breakers get back they will compete, but .....
