They are looking like a 9 win team. At the least. I think your account got hacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me? No. I'm fine enjoying the ride and analyzing what I see each week WITHOUT taking that toxic ride to self-preservation town. I was in 7th-10th grades for the Bills Superbowl debacles, and we were a devout family. But I've experienced enough in my 41 years (I know fans like you, Shaw, have seen much more) to know that none of this matters if it ain't fun. And I'm having fun this year. Who's with me? The most sane response to something that in the end, is just entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see how we do against the evil empire.

Losing to the Patriots won't suddenly take away all the smart team-building that Beane and McDermott have done. Respectfully, Ned, I do see your point, but I agree with Logic on this and frankly I’m tired of hearing/reading and seeing this. ”Oh, they’ve won some games, but until they beat the Patriots...” ”Yeah, but don’t get too excited, let’s see how they do against New England.” Look, everybody has to beat the Patriots and few teams do. I’m tired of us being thrown over the judgment pit based upon beating the Patriots before we can be ALLOWED to enjoy our team’s success. F that. While we are at it the “not picking Mahomes” thing is worn out, too. Our franchise is currently well built, our 2nd year QB is 5-3 in his last 8 career starts and we are laughed at for passing on Mahomes, like we were the only team that didn’t pick him. Given the way the Bears are currently built why doesn’t anyone chastise them for not picking Mahomes? How many of you think Trabisky is better? Don’t tell me this is conspiracy theory rantings, it’s pathetic the way this team is treated and viewed.

Why one but not the other? Since the Bills last won a playoff game, the Sabres have won eleven playoff series. That's 44 games. Which franchise sucks again? The one that not once, but twice drafted "generational" talents because they sucked on ice. Literally. The Bills, on the other hand, actually have competent coaching and management for a change. I could ask you the same question. Why are you defending a franchise that clearly DOES NOT have those things, while ripping the one that does?

Just sayin’. I find his acerbic wit and analysis mostly spot on, but that’s just me. BTW, I also enjoy reading many of your takes on the Bills that are often well thought out even if I disagree with ultimate conclusions just as often, FWIW. This. I'm still smarting over them not taking Metcalf, and think that could be a serious error. But I'm gonna trust the process and HOPE they take a WR in round one next year (when it's supposedly strong at the position). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
