If you hate the Bills why are you here?

Only the ones with high potential take time.  Time is too valuable to waste on bums.

 

Can't wait for the Bills to pass on a top QB next year because Allen is here.  Meanwhile Allen will be trash and we had the chance to draft a top guy.

Get over yourself.  You are not Nostradamus.

In most football minds out there, he has built the worst roster in the NFL.

 

The playoffs last year was largely on Whaley's moves.

 

The guy wasted way too many picks on a QB that just doesn't have the football IQ and then traded even more to draft a LB.

 

And this is the kind of utter dumb!@#$ery that makes me question whether or not the Bills have anything remotely resembling an intelligent fanbase.

The franchise didn't need rebuilding in player department.  It needed coaching, which we got with McDermott.

 

Shock. Wrong again. WAY too many overpriced and undertalented people on the roster. Not to mention AGING.

Seems we have this discussion every year. 

 

It's not that they hate the Bills. It's that they love saying "I told you so." Their vehicle is to predict failure, the single easiest thing to predict in the NFL. They then cheer for the failure so they can walk around saying "I told you that was a bid pick! I told you we should have fill-in-the-blank-with-something-another-team-did-successfully-that-is-completely-irrelevant-to-what-the-Bills-did."

 

And then when you call them out on the complete laziness of their position, they call you a fascist. :lol:

Well said. For some you wonder which matters more ; enjoying football games or being able to say “ I was right “ ?

I love discussion but some of what I see is not that

I've watched them since opening day 1960.  Believe me, there have been far worse times.

From one old man fan to another I have to agree with Drdawkins that a lot of Bills fans like complaining better than winning.  Think back to the 90's when the bills were the best in their history.  Remember 'the bickering Bills'?  There was some contention but the media and the fans made that out to be worse than it was.  There were fans that complained Kelly couldn't win enough, so-and-so player(s) and coaches sucked, play calling was bad et cetera et cetera.

 

I agree that some complains are well deserved but a lot are over the top.  You just have to expect negativity on this message board.

We should all be good little obedient boys and love everything the team does or else your fanhood gets questioned!

 

Didn't somebody say something about fascists earlier?

There is a difference between legitimate debate and critique and mindless drivel

Like I said above, I don't think it can be taught so "developing" will do nothing in him reading a defense at LOS, quick audibles, sensing pressure, staying calm in the face of a blitz, etc.

 

What Darnold at LOS and you will see the god given ability.  Processing information in milli secs is a god given talent.

 

What players do we have under 24 that have huge talents?

 

White and maybe Edmunds?  Edmunds to me is also a huge question make and I said the same thing at draft.  His play at VT would not scream MLB.  I don't think he should be playing that position.

 

We had a huge cupboard of all these picks, and we came out with very little.  So frustrating.

Allen has shown good instincts in his preseason play. He’s had mistakes too, they all will. We all have our fave college players, but most times  the stars don’t align and they end up in other NFL cities. The Bills are just one team of 32 , after all. Good news is, all is not lost. NY Jets merch is readily available and you can get tv packages that will allow you to watch Darnold in all his glory every Sunday.

So this morning there's all this talk about how the GM is horrible because he didn't trade for Mack, how we'll stink this year, about how a rookie WB who has yet to play an actual game is a bust.  And on and on.

 

 So my simple question is whay are you here if you hate this team so much?  Do you take some kind of weird pleasure in trying to bring others down?  Is it some kind of bizarre self-defense mechanism?  What?

 

Same kind of talk this time last year, and they made the playoffs.

 

Those who hate the Bills are better tolerated than those who boost the team.

The days of legitimate debate on any form of social media is already dead.

There is no objective thought anymore and there can be only one side to a story, if you don't agree insults are inbound.

Stupid post.  GM isn't the team. Coach isn't the team.  An individual player isn't the team.  Losing sucks. Winning is fun.  People complain about performances by employees of the team that the believe will cause the team to lose, or in fact actually caused the team to lose (ie 5 picks in a half )

Wouldn't know what the irony in that is, I'm not American and don't follow American politics. All I know about John McCain is that he's some politician with remarkably white hair.

No.  Complaining about actual performances is one thing.  I for example think Ducasse should go.  Complaining about things that haven't even happened because you assume they'll be bad is different.  Such as those already saying Allen will be a bust.  That is being negative just to be negative.

McCain enjoyed actual debate.

What can I say. You are wrong. I stand by my statement. The original post is stupid.

Nobody says you have to agree lockstep with the ownership and management, but when your takes are hot garbage, (Not yours in particular) don’t expect the board to blow sunshine up your butt or be angry when it doesn’t happen and double down on your stupidity...
