Aussie Joe 1,501 Posted September 19 (edited) What’s the relevance of the other 5 Bills teams that started 2-0 and missed the playoffs? Any of those players or coaches still on the team? Edited September 19 by Aussie Joe 2 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrags 904 Posted September 19 He was wrong by a long shot while talking about Allen’s inaccuracies. But most of that isn’t wrong. We played 2 teams that are bottom of the league right now and probably won’t change throughout the year. Their coaches and teams aren’t very good. We should have beat them. We did. Great. Let’s not get crazy about anything yet. The terrible thing is, if we win this week and go 3-0 we will still hear this for the most part. People will be saying the Bengals aren’t any good either. And you can not argue with facts. They will be 0-3. Of course, then we’ll go up against the Pats and probably lose like we always do. Then the talk will come back down, and media will say... see, we said it all along, the Bills haven’t beaten anyone yet and it’s no shock they lost against the Pats. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Albany,n.y. 952 Posted September 19 Obviously the author is one of those guys who didn't like Allen coming out of Wyoming, doesn't watch Allen play in Bills games and thinks if he calls Josh inconsistent he will have credibility with people as ignorant of the Bills current team as he is. 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the reasons I felt confident betting the various over win totals that were available at the casino was because we have a pretty easy schedule. We have some pretty lousy teams yet to come: Cincinnati, Miami (2X), Denver, Washington & possibly Pittsburgh. That's 5-6 extra wins that should be added to the 1st 2 before we even get to some of the games that we're about 50-50 to win. This is a 9-10 win team at worst.

It's also what happens when blogging has devalued journalism, even in sports reporting. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hondo in seattle 792 Posted September 19 Personally, I don't think we need to start a new thread every time a national media guy has something good or bad to say about the Bills. Maybe others think differently. But I only want to see new threads based on national media if they offer something new and/or insightful. As Virg said, this is "basic generalist BS" - and thus doesn't interest me. The Bills will have detractors until they start beating quality teams with some consistency. Who cares? The Bills have had a good D since last year. It remains to be seen if the O is any good. As a fan who has watched this team closely, I'm encouraged by the signs of progress. Allen looks better. The OL looks better. The receiving corps looks better. Singletary might be good. But, although I'm more optimistic than he is, Middlehurst-Schwartz is correct when he observes that the sample size is still small. All we can do is keeping watching games, hope for the best, and cheer our team on! 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoBills808 2,092 Posted September 19 Honestly the only problem I have with his list is that the Niners should be in our category, other than that and the obvious lack of watching any 2019 Bills games he's not wrong on how he ranks the 2-0 teams imo 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
