kegtapr Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 It depends. Did they donate money for the privilege to use the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Just as it would have been stupid to call the season over so early, is it that good of an idea to discuss winning the division at this point? Lots of football left to play here. I like a good deal of what I see but I am still terrified by our all risk/reward defense. At times amazing, at times vomit-inducing. And Kelly needs to not throw INTs that look, frankly, rook-worthy. Other than that, pleased with the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodnarb Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I did some bitching and I stand behind all of it. And there will still be plenty of misery left in this season to further validate any earlier bitching. I think the defense needs to do better on 3rd down FAST because the remaining schedule is brutal. I still think that 9-7 is the most likely result. Hope I'm wrong. With the AFC looking like it is right now, 10-6 could earn a team a home playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Enjoy the moment, but there are 10 weeks of the season to go, and they are all mofo games. There is no reason to talk AFC title yet. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR 477312[/snapback] I agree. I hope like hell we'll still be thinking playoffs in the last couple weeks, but THIS scares me: -2 games against NE (I don't care what anyone says about them being dead, or who ELSE beats them, we have had big problems against this team, and until WE beat them, well, talk is cheap) -Denver -Cinci -KC -San Diego That right there is 6 tough games. It is certainly possible that we lose them all. I'm hoping we can at least win a couple, but I'm damn sure not gonna get overconfident based on a couple home wins against what for sure are NOT playoff teams.

Simon Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I've been mullling this problem and it's a tough one. I think it goes without saying that the quality of the board has taken a massive downturn this season. Yes the Bills play has been frustrating at times but the over the top reactions ahve become so numerous and overwhelming that it has teally made this a less pleasant place to be. On the one hand you want to get rid of all the crap so we can have teh nicest board with the most analysis and the best atmosphere and the least jackasses. But you also have to be careful not to quash dissenting opinions or step on people who just need to vent occasionally. So how do you find middle ground? I've been thinking about some kind of bitchboard, or maybe a vent room. You can post there voluntarily if you want but the main purpose of it would be for the moderating team. When certain posters have developed the habit of only posting the same negative whiny bitches ad nauseum, we can start taking there broken records and putting them there. When somebody comes on and just starts yelling ridiculous nonsense about how everybody sucks and provides no analysis to support it, we can move their garbage to the bitchboard. That way maybe if we do it skillfully enough, we can improve the quality of the main board without giving the impression that you can only post positive opinions. Negative input is welcome as long as it is fairly well-reasoned, or not repetitive to the point of crusading or isn't coming form the same exact punchbowl turds all the time. Maybe even just the knowledge that the bitchboard exists will inspire our more "dour" squeaky wheels to at least improve the quality of their complaining. I'm going to keep cogitating on this one because I love this damnedable place and I hate to see it going to seed because a few loudmouths with no self-restraint are mistakenly convinced of their own importance.

Kipers Hair Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It's an interesting threat title - "fate hands..." - you're right, this team is not good enough to make it's own fate and win, it needs fate to intevene and hand the title to them. I love the bIlls, but come on, ths is not a superbowl contending team by any stretch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
