PromoTheRobot Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I don't think it has anything to do with throwing "shade" on the BIlls...nearly two decades without a playoff birth has turned fans into pessimists. Also made them unable to recognize good coaching and progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It doesn't matter which Buffalo team it is, there will always be complainers. I remember during the 2006-07 Sabres season, people were complaining in the first two rounds of the playoffs that the team was beating their opponents by enough goals. Give me a break, whether you win by one point or fifty, the result is still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I think one could be happy with 3-1 while acknowledging that we've had a little help getting there, and being reserved about expectations, due to the last 17 years of disappointment.

ALLEN1QB Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I'm just pissed that Jones missed the TD against the CP. We should be 4-0 right now. Edited October 5, 2017 by TYROD1QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 There has to be at least 25% complaining and whining OPs right now. The team is 3-1, in sole possession of 1st place and could go 4-1 into the bye beating a very vulnerable Cincy team. What are your problems? Enjoy it, or find another team to support. Thanks for letting us know the proper way to root for and discuss our football team. Quite helpful! i'd like to start a thread with the phrase, "slow your roll". would you guys get behind that? As long as you end it with "stay woke" I'm on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, welcome to Buffalo! These posters and the non-stop asinine hypothetical questions are enough to drive you to drink.... Well in my case, drink more.

HappyDays Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I don't think what he said was entirely inaccurate. They did try to draw them offsides. What you said is also true from what Tyrod and Opie's said. But you could tell they were trying to draw them off as well. If they got that penalty they would be at the half yard line and likely went for it, or at the very least do the same thing and see if the defense was in a look they liked on their next call from shorter distance. It ultimately means nothing. It's a weird thing to complain about because it had no possibility of failing. It doesn't signify anything about our coaching staff or success moving forward.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 It ultimately means nothing. It's a weird thing to complain about because it had no possibility of failing. It doesn't signify anything about our coaching staff or success moving forward.Not so sure about that. Our coaching staff seems to think about a lot of situations, already. I have heard players talk about this. It's a nice twist to go into a play like at the goal line which is mostly a 50-50 call, and say we run it if we get the look and we don't if we don't. While still trying to draw them offsides. That says something about the staff and it's something I like. I think three times already, McD has called timeout in defense right before the snap, like icing the kicker. But moreso to see how the opposition lined up to run the play they wanted to run the most. That's a great little move we don't see enough from other coaches. We also heard on the short TT touchdown pass to Clay in the Bronco game that TT's first option was pass, his second was to run, and his third was a different pass. He did both two and three and it was a TD. I had never heard of that before and not sure if it was a new twist or something he had in the years previous. Those little things can give a tiny advantage and NFL games are usually won on three or four decisive plays per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I will keep throwing shade until I hear a statement from the NFL saying "We will stand properly for the national anthem". Until then the kneeling bastards and their enablers can kiss my gluteus maximus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yungmack Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Oh I guess after getting kicked in the nuts by this team after a hot start a few times during the drought, I'm supposed to just say PLEASE SIR CAN I HAVE SOME MORE and blindly assume this is the slump buster with 12 games to goWhoa! A Dickens reference first thing in the morning. Isn't this place great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalobloodfloridahome Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 This isn't the first hot start in the last 17 years there has been a few. Only to watch injuries pile up and our depth get exposed by other teams. We aren't exactly blowing anyone out and how long before teams adjust to our broken wing wide recieving core and pile the box and cover up Clay. Then what do we do. I'm just as excited that we beat two real quality teams and have given the fan base something to look forward too. But, i've tempered my expectations around the short falls that could become detrimental to us down the road. I think we are playing as a team especially on defense with a next man up mentality and making Dareus compete to play is refreshing. I'm just afraid to get too excited to only be let down again. I said coming into this year i would have low expectations so that way I don't get let down too bad. That being said win or lose I bleed red white and blue until I die.

benderbender Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Can you really blame them? 17 years of finding a way to miss the playoffs and everyone is supposed to pick up the pom poms after week 4? Hell, even the local paper cant stop reminding us of what happened last time we had a similar good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this continues I wont be there to see if the wheels fall off like usual To each his own. If you stand at home I would be impressed. I admit to being hypocritical; always Stan at the event but don't at home. As for the OP, it's a psychological defense mechanism for some. I just like watching the games and rooting for them.
