YoloinOhio Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Pretty meh imo only funny part Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon were added to the backfield just in case LeSean McCoy gets hurt and/or charged with sending a hired goon—possibly Dodson?—to beat up an ex-girlfriend. In a rare flash of sanity, Antonio Brown nixed a trade here because he listened to his conscience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Just ok...was expecting better. Maybe these are only funny when it's about other teams? Or have the Bills reached some meta- irrelevancy zeitgeist where even WYTS satire is meh? wtf 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elroy16 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Quote Fuse the best part of the 2018 Bills QB room together and it would still get easily outplayed by a suddenly overweight Colin Kaepernick. 13 minutes ago, The Wiz said: That peterman hype video is pretty much all they needed to put in the article for it to be funny.

nemhoff Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 These haven't been as good this year as in the past. I remember gut wrenching laughter in the past...this year not so much. However the user comment about JA's arm being slightly less accurate than a North Korean ballistic missile was pretty funny 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s like they have no idea about anything, considering they joked about Frazier getting canned ... ummm he’s the coordinator with the second ranked defense in the league. The other coordinator had the 31st ranked offense. At least get the insults right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Once again, the comments are far funnier than the script. ‘Josh’s arm is slightly less accurate than a North Korean ballistic missile. He’ll be our poor man’s RGIII, always on the sideline in crutches or a walking boot, full of unfulfilled potential. It’s like the school valedictorian that gets paralyzed by a drunk driver the summer before starting medical school, except the Bills are the drunk driver.’ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB Bills Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 For a guy who does one for all 32 teams, these are incredibly well done. Drew Magary is an excellent writer. Sure, there's some predictability there, but the only thing more predictable is butt-hurt fans on this board crapping over it under the guise of lacking originality. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBoots8 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 “That’s what happens to people when they arrive in Buffalo. They land at the airport, survey the frozen and windswept barrens, hear “Name” playing on a loop at the local wing joint, and instinctively want to flee.” I have to admit this line got a laugh out of me. Drew does good work for having to cover all 32 teams. ...plus we crushed his Vikings last year. Might be a little bitter still lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy10 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 “Watching the Bills every year is like bearing witness to an isolated tribe living in the Aleutian island chain, where kids trek to school in snowshoes and their parents swill paint thinner while carving tally marks into a nearby wooden plank with a bowie knife to count down the days until it’s time to reconvene with the Lord. The Bills are a portrait of despair. I don’t even like thinking about them. I was in coma for two weeks last winter and the nicest thing about it was that I never once thought of the Bills. Now I’m alive again and just the IDEA of the Bills still existing makes me yearn to be eaten by a frost bear and sent back into the great blackness, where all is quiet and Cole Beasley doesn’t exist.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 This was better than the last two years, but it was still not as great as when the series first came out. Maybe it's just because it's nothing we don't already say to/about ourselves already. We get overhyped, we break tables, and the team is usually mediocre. The city is cold. Just the same jokes retreaded. This fan comment made me laugh though. "F**k Sean McDermott’s phony, psalm-spewing, flag-humping, troop-sniffing, Ron Howard-looking ass. All of his ginger mean mugs and aggressive clapping do not impress Bill Belichick." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Man, I usually look forward to these for a good laugh, but the Bills one just isn't funny. Ok, make fun of Peterman, make fun of "the process", and make fun of Buffalo itself. He's running out of ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodbuster Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) There were some great jabs in there, and the fan submissions were fun. Magary is losing some of his edge, though.
