KD in CA Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Don’t blame Twitter or WGR. Look at how this board (and thread) is full of constant whiners, looking for any negative to cling to, even after a 3-0 start. Virtually every post-game topic is negative. It’s pretty sad, having so many people here who are more comfortable and content with the Bills losing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this team is good. They make mistakes and they don’t get derailed. Josh Allen is the QB we have been waiting for. There is no question about that at all....... What more could anyone ask for? I'm genuinely happy you're confident in that, but I don't share that sentiment yet. I'm sorry, I'm still not convinced, and his overall play on the field is what will change that. "What more could anyone ask for?" I guess a full 4 quarters of solid to good QB play would be start. Perfection? No. Not asking for that. Beyond that, showing we can win against GOOD teams will be another huge sign things are different. Last year before Allen was about to return after injury, I posted an article detailing how the Bills were about to go on a final 6 game stretch with the EASIEST schedule remaining in the league (factually, not opinion), and that we have to pay attention to how Allen & the team play in those games, not just be satisfied with a few meaningless wins against awful compeititon. Instead, people were so thrilled just to not see us get stomped anymore, and acted as if wins against the 3-7 Jaguars, 5-8 Lions, and 7-8 Dolphins meant it was proof we found our franchise guy! In that stretch, we also lost to the Dolphins, lost to the 4-8 Jets (who we had just blown out a few weeks early with Barkley), and loss to the Pats (our 1 remaining opponent with a winning record). Carrying over that mindset to this year, fans are further reinforcing their belief that Allen is the franchise's answer because we won against the 0-3 Jets while looking terrible offensively for 3 quarters (combined with the Jets kicker missing an XP and a FG), beat the 1-2 Giants after disappearing offensively for 2 quarters & letting them back in the game, and having to come from behind against the 0-3 Bengals at home, with under 2 mins left, and after AGAIN disappearing offensively for 2 quarters. I'm sorry, but none of this screams "There is no question about that at all" in regards to Allen being "the QB we have been waiting for." I've seen us start off fast with 3 to 5 wins before, and fans were just as convinced as you are now that THIS time the Bills were different. We weren't. When I see 4 quarters of good QB play, sound decision making for a full game, and being able to play well (not even win, simply play well) against good competition, I'll accept we may be a different team & gladly eat crow.

Two things 1) Guess there is a reason i am not on here during Bills games!!1 2) Maybe it's us real old timers, but i was never worried yesterday..never. 17-14 i knew the Bills were winning.

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I have a hard time taking him seriously since in TC and pre-season, he was seriously talking about how Beane and McDermott should be fired if the Bills don't make the playoffs.

GimmeSomeProcess Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Schoop and Bull dog were great. They kept calling out fans that kept bashing the win. 3-0 is 3-0 and it doesn’t matter how you do it. Mike was also right about the Pats. It was refreshing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has a right to think what they want. Its football and it really isn’t a big deal. While true, they gave up 30 twice in that win streak and had less yards than there opponent. Overall, there defense was absolutely putrid that year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddicksTDLeap Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 2 hours ago, Wayne Cubed said: Oh I'm not sure about that... Mayfield hasn't put together 4 good quarters this year. i think this is the best point made yet. Mayfield looks less than the hype. Darnold is out, and will probably suffer under Gase. Rosen is, well, Who knows. Yet here, the Bills “fans” have the best Qb of that class, and they’re not happy because he threw a bad INT. Its hard to believe. The talking points used to be “you have to beat the teams on your schedule”. For years this team couldn’t do that. Bills teams under Jauron, Williams, Gailey, Marrone, Rex, all would have lost this game. This team, this QB, doesn’t. So now the new adage is “you have to dominate the teams on your schedule because that’s what the Pats and Chiefs do”. When the Bills start to dominate, what will be next? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Geary is a fan blaming homer. He is a brutal listen. I don't mind Joe.... I think he is reasonable and pretty balanced and seems to spend most of the show each week talking Nate out of buying plane tickets to Miami in February.

MR8 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I miss the days when post game was actually listening to the player interviews in the locker room. I don't think they've done that going back to when WGR Took back over as the official bills radio network, but DAMN do I miss them doing all the player interviews. I couldn't care less what Mike Schopp and Bulldog think about the game immediately after. We have a full week of radio to fill with their takes on everything (which are always negative), so why do I need to be subjected to their negativity, arrogance, and pontificating immediately following a win? You know what I wanted to hear while I was riding high and stuck in traffic? I wanted to hear Dawson Knox talk about his first touchdown catch in the Pros, AND for that matter his first TD Catch since HIGH SCHOOL! I wanted to hear about that run he had where he electrified the stadium and got his team in position to win. I wanted to hear Goof Ball Tre White talk about his Picks, dude is hilarious! I would've loved to hear him joking around about it... or hear some of the guys talk about how the fans were insane and how the defense fed off it big time. Why do we need to listen to talking heads *****ing on callers instead of the guys from on the field? Edited September 23, 2019 by MR8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could only play teams on your schedule & this isn't college football where style points counts. BTW, the Pats have played teams that are a combined 0-9. I see no one apologizing for their record. We will see what happens Sunday, I like our chances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The day I start a) listening to a couple kids act like experts and b) let them explain how we should react as fans is the day I end being cogent, rational thinker. Yes the extremes are annoying.... the rose colored glasses homer loaded with excuses and what if's and the "they'll always suck because they're the Bills... but the BIlls fandom is exactly like American politics, dominated by the ends with the middle too busy and more rational and hence staying out of the conversation. The call in shows are the ends. Unlistenable in post game on the drive home when they go to callers. Music time at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ALL have that "here we go again" in us, and to deny it is to lie to yourself. It's always been a part of being a Bills fan, but I for one was thrilled to see yet again that do or die spirit. It's simply taking me back to the germination of what was four straight Super Bowl runs. I deleted my twitter account 6 months again and I’ve been better for it. People are just straight asses and say stuff that in person they wouldn’t. I will say the fan base is fickle that they want and expect success yet the patience isn’t there at points when our starting QB himself hasn’t even played a full season combined yet despite he leading them to be3-0.
