Like, they’re over by the middle of the 3rd quarter. This team has regressed in all three areas of the game (most notably Offense and Special Teams). Try doing what I do. I slept throught most of the game after the 1st quarter Sunday. I would wake up occasionally to a terrible play and then fall back asleep. I would highly recommend this technique in watching Bills games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were many weak positions on the team that did not get addressed, (ie backup qb, offensive line, wide receivers, etc.) It is painful to watch the team that was a playoff team last year have at the very least an uneven performance level from week to week. It is even more painful to witness the ineptitude of this team during the all too frequent ugly one sided drubbings. At this point, our expectations are low for the balance of the season. But prior to the start of the season, many on this board were saying that if we won 4-5 games, and Allen showed improvement, it would be considered a successful season. The expectation was that we would retool next year and start to be more competitive and move forward. Nothing that has happened today conflicts with that logical view we had the beginning of the season. I am as stressed as the majority of the Bills fans about what we have witnessed through 7 games this season. But I am going to take a more relaxed view and just have faith that the process will work and hope for the best. My feeling is that I will give McBeane through 2020 to prove they know what they are doing. After that, if the team is still a mess, then I believe we should move on and start over with a new management team. thoughts... You might give them through 2020 but I highly doubt our owner does. I think next year will be their last, commensurate with Allen being declared a failure as a draft pick. Don't think they can survive Allen busting, and I don't think they'll get another shot at a new QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's because I'm not a Buffalonian, I don't know. I will admit that the rare occasions during which the Mets field a contending team that I feel some stress during post-season. But I don't live in NYC, either. I'll feel stress during Bills games when the games matter. Until then, I enjoy the wins and shake my head at the losses. Not a bad way to go.

That wasn't supposed to happen and indicates that the defensive coaching staff is unprepared. Allen is a rookie and the offense is devoid of talent, so while frustrating, isn't too surprising. I was just hoping that the losses would be a little more competitive, aside from the Texan game where we were Petermaned. You mean the tenth, fouth, and third-best offenses in the league beat us? Say it aint so! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this happens, our time table for experiencing success will move back another 3-4 years. When will the pain stop??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasovon Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 This has been the most stress free season i've ever had as a Bills fan. We got one of the big 4 QBs in the draft and i didn't expect us to be good at all. Wins are great, losses are expected. no problem. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderGun Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 One rebuilding year is fine... A rebuilding year after making the playoffs for the first time in almost 20 years seems a bit backwards... besides, I’ve seen nothing from this current coach/GM to inspire any confidence that this current “rebuild” is actually going to lead this team anywhere except back to drawing the board to come up with blue prints for the next architectural makeover.

Anything less would be unacceptable. With the cap room and draft capital they have next year, any competent GM and coach would have this team winning football games next year.
