Not trying to be an ass, just saying that this team is/was not terrible and as a fan expect them to improve annually and going from .500 to 9-7 is 1 win.......  

 

Yes I'm a fan, but still not 100% sure about the coaching staff......

 

As stated, I thought they were a playoff team in preseason, defended Tyrod and really got upset at the preseason trades and the FO/coaching staff pretending we were such a bad team.

 

Will be interesting in the offseason if they try and push forward with Peterman as the starter and TBD's buy in tp that scenario...... 

why do you think the bills will try to force peterman as the starter?  there's no indication of that, and if anything, you made it up to push some nonsense agenda.

Don't feed the anti-mcd trolls.

 

This guy's a pointless endeavor.

No contradictions, Dolphins were a losing team this season (albeit a very talented one with the best HC in the division after Belichik IMO).

 

But again, some of you are acting like the Bills ran the gauntlet of playoff teams this season and beat them and also earned a birth in the tourney without help, neither is true.

 

Can't we all just be happy the season isn't over regardless of the less than ideal circumstances of how the Bills got in to the postseason?

show me one instance where this was said or even implied.  one...

i know, but he's so illogical that i love to hear the responses.  remember, he actually told us that goff was being coached not to throw to watkins.

It seems like you don't know what the definition of a contradiction is.

You also provided a double standard in another post.  Do you know what that is?

Read through the thread Teef, lots of fans here have the wrong perception of how and why this team made the playoffs.

 

Either way I'm done arguing about this and honestly regret posting in this thread (although my first response in this thread was against the OP and saying that it don't matter how the Bills got in).

 

Some people just want to argue with me for no reason I guess, but I'm going to enjoy and savor this next week regardless.

If it was so easy, why didn’t it happen in the past 17 years?  

 

If it’s luck this year that 9-7 made it, were we always just really that unlucky?  Is luck the deciding factor?

 

Yes, we were 9-7, but we were a better 9-7 than two other teams.  We won games we normally lost. 

 

I’m sorry, but I’m not buying what you’re selling. This was a special season and we saw glimpses of it at times.  We aren’t great...yet. 

And we could have easily been a legit 10-6 had Peterman never started.

So you're going to sit here and tell me with a straight face that this team has just as much talent as it did with Watkins, Woods, Goodwin, Darby, Dareus?

I'm still not very high on McD, mostly because he doesn't seem very bright and has made a series of questionable coaching decisions in recent weeks (i.e. going back to TT as the starter, overtime punt against Indy, etc)

 

But hard not to embrace 'The Process' now after he got lucky with the Ravens losing and Bills making the playoffs. Hopefully it doesn't get to his head though because this matchup with St. Doug looms LARGE.

Get out of here troll.

the only person with the wrong perception is you.  not a single person said what you mentioned.   i get it.  you spewed nonsense all season, are getting called out for it, and are now on the run.  i like having you around, but don't be shocked that other people see your posts as garbage now.  you're the only one to blame for that.

I have to laugh at the OP's post

 

For the reason that they gutted 2 former 1st rd picks and an entire Defensive backfield /  WR core and yet here we are. I do give kudos to the coaches for going with players who want to be here and want to do the job they are asked to do..  I honestly believe that is the only way this team, with the player turnover we had this year, actually made the playoffs.

If only Marcel would actually play like 2014 and not be constantly overweight, injured, and unmotivated.  You need to understand that when you invest 100 million dollars into a player that player needs to be the foundation of your team....you cant have long in the too Kyle Williams outplaying him week in and week out.   Gilmore?  Tre White TOTALLY out played him and they traded for Gaines....this secondary is the best the bills have fielded in years.   Darby immediately got hurt when he left and is not as good as White and Gains.  Watkins?   A rookie is outplaying him on the team he was traded to.  Woods?  I actually loved Woods but look at the money he got?   Goodwin?  That guy was more concerned about the Olympics when he was here then being a football player.   The player moves that the new regime have made have been SOLID.

Yes as a matter of fact the talent on this years team is not close to last year's team when you lose Marcel and Sammy......we also lost the fastest cover linebacker in the league which makes a difference as well.   Last year's team should have TOTALLY had a better record then it did but the Coaches were idiots and squandered it....what actually happened is this group OVER performed.   You dont rememeber the predictions of a losing season for this 1st year group of coaches?

BS. We could be a legit 11-5 had Tyrod been the Tyrod you all think he is against the Bengals and Jets.

Yeah, okay. How many yards on the ground did our defense give up? We couldn't stop a nose bleed and don't forget, Tyrod did not have Woods, Watkins, Glenn, Gilislee, Benjamin and Matthews missed a bunch of time, Tyrod had nothing.

Yes, and I still think this team could have won 11 or 12 games this year had NP started from day one which is probably what McD wanted anyway.

 

And with the way the defense was playing the first month or so it would have help immensely in terms of NP acclimating and making mistakes like he did against the Chargers.

 

It is what it is though and look forward to hopefully seeing NP next season as the starter. He's a very gritty kid and hard worker and will make massive strides this offseason.

Bills were 7-9 last year not .500.  Its a 2 win improvement on a year they dumped the roster and installed new systems.

Our defense in the Bengals game took the ball away 3 times, and had a punt return to the Cin 12 yard line. That game was ours for the taking, but Tyrod could not make it happen, and then threw the game ending pick.

 

The entire second half offense had like a net total of 50 yards.

 

Now I am not saying sticking with Taylor now is a bad thing. I am saying that this view of Tyrod beating the Chargers because he is Tyrod is unrealistic.

I seriously doubt this myself. I believe this was the wake up call the team really needed at that point to power them through. The team was getting beat every which way the weeks before.. A bold move needed to be made, and I believe it made an attitude adjustment to the team. Also Might of even been what Peterman needed to get us through most of that the snow game. Really bummed he got injured there as he was getting into a bit of rhythm. 

 

I do fully agree with going back to TT and finishing the year with him was the proper move , and felt that way when Peterman tanked against the chargers. However there were some behind the scenes effects that were positive IMO

What in the world are you basing that on.......because the data is not there to support you

 

by the way....I actually do not hate Peterman.....but rookies need time for the most part

If you think about it......we are doing exactly what McD and Bean have preached since day one

 

"working to win now and working to win in the future"

 

We made the playoffs even thought we lost talented players and freed up cap space

We get to look forward to a very entertaining draft

I get it, 9-7 is not that great, we have had a couple 9-7 seasons during the drought but this year we "got lucky" and circumstances have us in the playoffs as a wildcard team.   But I think 9-7 with this roster is remarkable.  They are like 29th in offense, 26th in defense but found a way to win 9 games including a couple tough ones on the road in ATL and KC.  There is reason to be optimistic moving forward in my opinion.   This coaching staff has players putting in the effort, playing as a team and winning with lesser talent than some opponents.  For instance, Miami has better talent than Buffalo. 

 

So if the effort/team contentedness continues as the talent increases we could really go places.

This team is in the playoffs because they won the games they won and other teams lost the game they lost.  Same way every team makes the playoffs.

And yes the 18 year curse was lifted.  

 

The Bills won the tie-breakers and we're in the playoffs with the best possible first round opponent (something I predicted btw).

 

The point is (and I keep repeating) is that this is pretty much the same records as 2014-2016, so quit thinking this coaching staff & HO turned water into wine.

 

What it did do was create such low expectations that some consider it a miracle.

 

What was miraculous was winning 6 games where the opposition had the ball at the end of the game with a chance to win & the Bills winning each and every time.  

 

I am as excited as anyone that they are in the playoffs and planning my Sunday, but I am not getting ahead of myself and anointing this coaching staff as an all time great.

 

However I am a fan and don't get stuck on the minutiae wrt to drafts, schemes and philosophy.

 

It is quite simple for us fans.  If a team is 8-8 for 3 seasons in a row, you look at it and say 2 more wins and you're in the playoffs.  I look at the skill positions and how they are utilized (and yes was pissed at Watkins, the trade and not targeting him enough).  I thought better coaching and tweaks to properly utilize Taylor and we'd see a huge improvement.

 

On the defensive side, it did not take much to see that they were undisciplined, took way too many penalties, and disorganized under Rex, which could be fixed easily to the point they would be competent.

 

So as said I will be here and cheering Sunday & hopefully beyond & will leave shortly thereafter while you argue about the draft, personnel moves & free agency.

 

I will return when Sammy signs and when a decision is made on Tyrod.

 

Again would we fans be so excited if they went 8-8, or 8-7-1 (as McDermott tried vs. Indy) and no playoffs.  

 

It is the Playoffs that has created this euphoria, not a record that matches those the prior 3 years......

 

Flame away!!!!!

 

 

Apparently somebody pissed in your cheerios this morning. What happened did McDermott's cousin stand up your sistyugler for a date or something???

You are a joke. I remember after 5 pick Nate you came here and was apologizing and telling us you were wrong.  Then something funny happened.  Other people agreed with starting Nate for that game.  Now you change your tune because you weren't embarrassed.  You should be embarrassed now with all the Bills trash talk and Miami pumping you did all season.

 

And please stop telling us about your contacts and business meetings.  You cant be more than 15 years old.

We have already achieved so much this year with what appeared to be the odds stacked against us all the way until the clock struck zero and we had the Dalton Miracle. Lets enjoy the ride even if we get blown out in Jacksonville which I really don't see happening I feel it will be a competitive low scoring affair we have already won as fans of Buffalo we got the Monkey off our back and we have a full deck of cards to play before next year in draft picks and FA signings to make our team even better. I just think people are having a hard time being positive right now. McDermott knows he just raised expectations and he better continue to deliver or he'll only get 3 more years. 

 

I will say that the AFC was a little soft this year and the cards fell right for us for the first time in I can't remember. We played some good teams when they were playing badly also ran into some teams from the NFC on fire ATL, NO. That is all. 

 

GO Bills! Tame those Kitties!

A lot of false and misleading info here and I'm not embarrassed about anything.

 

Also the fact that some folks keep bringing up NP and the Chargers proves they agree with the decision. Just too bad he's still not starting or we might actually have a chance to make a championship run....

7-9 last year with an OT loss to Miami week 16 and sitting starters (including Taylor week 17)........

 

I have too agreed that Rex particularly on defense was a disaster, specifically wrt to discipline and organization (said this earlier in the thread).....

 

They gutted the offense and we have seen statistically the results.  I have too railed since August/September as to the play calling and  Dennison and will continue to.

 

Again look at Shady's #'s thanks to Dennison's schemes & play calling.  

 

They are in the playoffs, looking forward to Sunday as it is a winnable game as I mentioned in November when they named Peterman as the starter and I was apoplectic (oh and btw right) pointing out that as the 6th seen they opponent would be Jax (oops sorry right again).

 

I also went on about the OT punt vs. Indy and McDermott explaining that a tie was better then a loss.......  Oops right again, a tie and Bills would not have made the playoffs.

 

Oh and Matthews the equal or better as a replacement for Watkins.......  Yep where are those posters?

 

Boy I hate being right......

 

There is a long thread last week that Tyrod has played his last regular season game as a Bill.  I highly doubt we are signing any top-tier QB, so yes I'm assuming that McDermott & Dennison, who pushed the Peterman agenda (remember "I made thge right decision, just the wrong result) want him to at least start next year.

I actually didnt disagree with the decision to bench TT and start Peterman in that game.  I know a lot of poster's do.

 

McD took a calculated risk to see if he could provide a spark and it bombed badly.  That absolutely does not mean that we would not have lost that game anyway.....the chargers were playing really well at the time.

 

My point is that very seldom does a rookie QB actually come in and play well and we are talking about a 5th round rookie at that.  It does not mean that Peterman is not going to improve over time and I actually think he could be a solid pro.

 

I am just not ready to base the teams future on that and would still draft a 1st round QB.

you think you're right?  you told us that...

 

sammy is elite.  that was wrong.

sammy will have a huge year this year.  that was wrong.

sammy isn't getting the numbers you expected because goff is being coached not to throw to him.  that was wrong.  

 

since you hate being right, you should be pretty satisfied right now.
