Paywall. Can’t see anything 

 

"Who was ultimately at fault for the Bills’ maddening, belly-wrenching, head-scratching, lunch-tossing 19-16 loss to the lowly Browns?

I’ll tell you.

Stephen Hauschka......But Hausch Money did not actually cost the Bills the game.

Josh Allen did.......But Allen was not, in fact, responsible for the disaster.

The defense was.......But the true guilt is not the overall defense, it is their tackling.

No, wait ….......The actual impeachment lies in the team’s lack of turnovers. .......And yet turnovers were not liable. They did not lose this game. .......Brian Daboll did.   He was the clear villain and bad guy.

But do not point fingers at Daboll for the white-knuckle loss........"

 

Goes on to discuss other possible scapegoats, including John Brown, Levi Wallace, Sean McDermott, and Lee Smith:

"The refs might as well let him carry the yellow flags and take it out of his pants instead of theirs. Fine, if you cannot get yourself to put the proper burden on Smith …

The Blame Game is in quadruple overtime.

BN article by Kelly today.  Hilarious how it captures the emotions on the board.  

Thanks for bringing attention to this, Casey. I haven't had time for anything lately, even badmouthing the Bills on this board.

Great article by KtD.  He gives us all a shoe that fits, and we can all wear ours.

Thanks, Hap. There are a lot of shoes. ;)

There's still time left to blame Matt Barkley! If we could afford to play guys as bad as him we never would have lost the game!!!

Haha... It is so bad when everyone thinks it right before it happens. 

 

I hate saying it, but Smith should be cut...

Please stop Linking paywall sites...

 

Why? I can’t see it, but many people can. I don’t begrudge them the pleasure of the article. It’s my choice not to sign up. I get some excerpts and that’s better than nothing. Are you sensitive for some reason? I read they do not name names.

It’s to each their own, IMO. If someone can enjoy it, I’m happy for them. I’m not upset with anyone who makes the link available to those with access. Some might opt in when tempted, which is fine too.

I often stay away from TBD for a day or two after a loss.  Part of it is just my way of dealing with the loss, but part is also my distaste for the blame game.  It is a team game.  On rare occasions a single player can be singled out as having primary responsibility for a loss, but most of the time losses happen because there are multiple failures by multiple people, not to mention on occasion the other team plays really well.

I think that would be highly unfortunate on several grounds - probably the most practical of which being, the general TBN readership neither knows nor cares.

I don't usually do this, but since there was some confusion, let me explain the mechanics of the post.

 

I fully realize that there was no way that KtD would nym-drop any names from this board, because while it would be good for some cheap laughs in here, it's true that no one else in the fanbase would know what he's talking about. The post was really just a shout-out to some of the nitwits in here... nothing more. nothing less. As an added bonus though, one of the said nitwits was triggered enough to write an illiterate response, which ended up making the post a win-win.

Agree. That was my purpose for the article. I was kind of making fun of the blame game.
