Buffalo fans…

 

I come before you as a broken dolphins fan of 38 years. Today broke me to the point where it ruined my fandom. Tua sucks. McD sucks. Everything sucks about that poverty franchise. 
 

I cannot go yet ANOTHER season rooting for a trash franchise filled with piss poor play and game time decisions. It’s been too long and too depressing. 
 

Would you accept me into your fandom?

From age nine until my sophomore year of college, my beloved Bills failed to beat the Dolphins. I never, EVER considered abandoning Buffalo. Shame on your fragile allegiance.

Good for you. My fragile allegiance involved caring about a terrible franchise far more than the ownership ever did. From extending Philbin to keeping McDaniel last year, that is PROOF to me that the ownership doesn’t care about their own franchise.

ry to keep some perspective, Josh has yet to throw a real pass this season......I think we start slow.

 

I don't necessarily disagree with this, but it's worth mentioning that Aaron Rodgers went to an entirely new team, didn't play a single snap in preseason then walked out there today and threw 4 TDs, 0 picks at a near 75% clip and won a tough road game.

I hope Josh might be hitting that point in his career where he doesn't necessarily need preseason work.

Samuel reminds me of John Wilkes Booth's last words.

Well, truth be told, we’ve been greatly enjoying Dolphin shenanigans for quite some time now.

If he's a healthy scratch why bother keeping him on the roster?

Honestly could just be due to amount of practice time (not) put in this summer?

I never get jumpy waiting for Bills games no matter what day or time they are.

But drawing the Sunday night game on season opening weekend is a whole different animal isn't it?

If he's a week 1 healthy scratch...he's not likely long for the roster anyway

I guess you can never rule out a potential trade as well. Who knows at this point.

The Bills rushed for 150yds against the Ravens last time. Josh has learned that he doesn't have to do it all himself. Gotta give Rogers some credit though. Pittsburgh's run game was terrible and they basically won with the arm of old man Rogers. The great thing about this game is that we have no idea if the Bills are going to lean on the pass or the run more. They are a threat either way. Same goes for the Ravens. Two complete offenses both with MVPs going head to head.

 

Then there is the defense for both of these teams. Most are giving the Ravens the edge here. Not so sure that's going to be the narrative when the game ends. Buffalo, if I know this defense has done it before. Beaten the odds. There was a slump, but this is a brand new season. I think we're going to see some new wrinkles. Can't wait to see how it shakes out.

Landon Jackson down tonight.  Mildly disappointed , I thought he might pop out of the gate.
