Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 50 minutes ago, Buffalo716 said: Do you see the people who sign up just to roast the team and players? I’d say they are fair weathered or trolls trolling fans may be more appropriate Well, and I say this being basically the zebra here, I don't think "trolling fans" is right, either. Trolls are usually those who express a viewpoint they know is controversial to draw people in and incite. Often they don't really share that viewpoint. I think the negative folks who show up yelling for everyone's heads fully believe what they say. What I think is we as fans suffer from the results of really, 22 years of dysfunction and futility in our franchise. Maybe longer - maybe since Polian got the axe in 1992. Time and time again, we as fans see the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel", and time after time it turns out to be the headlights of the oncoming 9:05 freight, running us over. "Despairing fans" or "desperate fans bilked of hope once again" might be the more accurate descriptive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason that the Bills "are lacking on the offensive side" is because the HC is clueless about evaluating offensive talent -- both of players and of coaches. What did you expect allen to look like at this point? Be realistic. He was going to struggle. He has the least talent around him. We’re in a huge dead money hole this year. Everyone knew it coming in. But there are still posters who are just shocked(!) by all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPar_v2 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 They are just frustrated snap judgments. Not trolling. The offense looks worse than non-competitive, it looks like a farce. People are within their rights here to question that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreigner Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The only reason the Bills Offense is 32nd in the NFL is because there are not 33 teams, and my Grandmother knows better than having Peterman in the NFL. Call us trolling, but if you want to make excuses for what is going on, the op is worse than trolling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm angry that McDermott and Beane spent so much on a first round QB and then set him up to fail by doing just about everything they could possibly do to insure he fails. If you go out and buy a brand new shiny Mustang, are you going to park it out on a narrow side street or are you going to protect your investment by renting a garage? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im way more worried about leading the league in illegal formations lol Just accept we are going to have 5 or 6 wins this year and its for the best. There are quite a few unexpectedly bad teams this year and its important we keep pace with them in the L column so we don't end up outside the top 10... The offense is brutal. They also have way too many unacceptable pre-snap penalties. False starts. Illegal formations(didn't they teach players the rules for lining up the first day in minicamp)?? Offsides on kickoffs when you literally cannot move until the ball is kicked now...how is that even possible?? Those are what drives you crazy as a fan...I can accept they have no playmakers other than Shady on offense...I cannot accept they take mind-numbing penalties so often...

Foreigner Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 There are always going to be fans that make excuses, but if you guys can't handle the truth, and tell it like it is, tough, because the rest of are not going to fly the pom poms at this incompetence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcornpam Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I live in Houston. I’m from Western New York Tonight on the local news here they were laughing at Peterman. They really couldn’t believe he threw it right to their DB. I was at the game today. I thought why didn’t they run it. They had a 1 min 40 only needed a field goal. Very poor coaching to let him throw that pass pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 This season was over when Wood and Incognito both left, and the steps Beane took to replace them were too little to take seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im way more worried about leading the league in illegal formations lol Nice post. The Bills are a team in transition. Before the year started, there were many more needs on offense than defense. It is logical for the defense to be ahead of the offense. The bills will get to where we want them to be. It will take a year or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse Nuts Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I've, once again, written and deleted a good, honest response to the whiners on this board. Deleted because I don't want to hurt your little feelings any more than they so obviously are already. The OP and other like-minded here have it totally right. The whiners will always justify their bitching as being "skeptical" and the rest of us are homers or cheerleaders. Whatever. We know who needs a diaper changed here and who doesn't. It really makes me sad to be a Bills fan when I read some of the bitching and moaning on this board. I honestly cannot understand what you all get from constantly chiming in every chance you get to snuff out anyone's positivity. Like you fulfill some deep need to ensure the rest of us and our positive thinking are always in check by your unique wisdom. Oh how our lives would be so incomplete with you all. How can we ever thank you enough? I'll have to cut myself off again now before I go too far.
