QB Bills

It's Tyrod and it's not all that close.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. Unfortunately, wilful ignorance has always been somewhat celebrated and extends beyond sports. Keeping people dumb benefits those at the top. Colts game too

It's starting to make sense now. You have decided what side you stand on and nothing will make you change your mind because "it's my opinion and this is America and it's my right" Little things like receivers, scheme and protection do not matter because "Tyrod sucks. And he sucks because he doesn't throw into tight windows (he does), he doesn't throw guys open (he does) and you can't win with him (you can)"

You need to understand that this didn't happen. This is what I mean when I say it's the not-so-bright fans who are at the front of the Anti-Tyrod short bus.

I honestly don't even remember what it felt like the last time the Bills were in the playoffs because it's been so long so it has to be yesterday. Boyd catching it then actually scoring when I was just happy he got the first down..can't recall ever feeling like that. Wish I could bottle that up and experience it again.

Can't argue with that. Honestly, this team isn't very good top to bottom. Even compared to some other Bills teams over the last 17 years. But they've been opportunistic and have had some breaks go their way. But after all this time, they're due for some good fortune. Let's hope that carries into this coming Sunday.

It's going to be a very difficult game. Really think people are underrating the Jaguars. Caldwell has done a great job amassing talent that even a goof like Marrone can look like a competent coach.

NFL GMs are stupid for the most part. Why would I care what they would do? Unlike you I am quite secure about my knowledge of football and don't need to reach for the "appeal to authority" approach.

I rest my case

Lol I'm more convinced than ever that the Bills could have picked any random jabroni in the draft as long as he physically looked like a prototypical/conventional QB and certain fans would be anointing him as the answer.

Look at the hapless receiver group throughout the season. A gimpy Benjamin and whole bunch of nothing after that. Look at the porous offensive line and how teams never blitz us because they know they don't have to which means there are 7 or 8 guys in coverage on almost every passing play. Look at Dennison's antiquated and predictable scheme and how we run on first down more than any other team. Now tell me how many QBs in the league could do more than Tyrod has this season. Very few, in my opinion. The Tyrod bashing here used to irritate me but I've realized that group is made up of people who aren't all that bright nor seem like they understand context when evaluating individual players in a sport with many moving parts.

Yup. It is just you. Congrats fellow Bills fan, but know you'll never know how this felt for more invested fans if you think it's "whimpy" to get emotional over this.

This thread exists. THIS THREAD F'N EXISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to 26CB, Yolo, etc. for all your contributions over all this time. Don't even know how to articulate this all. Let's just embrace the moment. Happy new year everyone!!

Up at 3:30 am with a severe case of anxiety/hopefulness/fear/anticipation. In all seriousness, the team actually kind of sucks. Not really much better than the average bills team throughout the drought. But dammit if I'm not ecstatic about the possibility of a playoff game. Go Bills!

The simple answer is that football players are pussies.

Been busy so I still haven't gotten around to watching that game yet. No spoilers!

I suspect if we had hired McVay/Wade and kept Sammy/Darby/Dareus, we'd be winning the AFC east and anointing Tyrod as the franchise QB we've been waiting for. But no, Russ and the Pegs' chose wrong. Again. Hell, even if we'd had Benjamin from the beginning of the year, we'd be in the playoffs already. Funny how Tyrod never "throws guys open" or "trusts his receiver on a 50/50 ball" until he gets a receiver worth a damn. Maybe it's not Taylor? Maybe it's the practice squad rejects he's had to work with this year along with an OC who is completely lost now that he doesn't have Kubiak's teet to nurse on. No, it's just easier to blame the QB without any context so let's stick with that.

And this board is littered with threads on QBs for next year and PEOPLE {idiots} complaining about Tyrod. What happened to this place? There have been a couple of good posters come over from BBMB but it seems as they've been vastly outnumbered by the mouth-breathing table jumpers. That can't be all of it though. I think the Bills have finally broken some of you when I read that you'd rather miss the playoffs than get knocked out in the first round if Tyrod is the QB. We have a realistic shot at the postseason for the first time in forever and there is zero buzz around here. What's the deal? EDITED by Moderator. No Name Calling.

It wasn't a catch by the letter of the law. Get over it. Having said that, neither was Cooks' catch against the Texans that gave the Patriots that win earlier this season. The inconsistency of it all is what's maddening. Also, almost every fan is missing the point of the catch rule. It's written up that way to take out as much subjectivity as possible on what a catch is and what is not. Otherwise, you'd have all sorts of scenarios where a ref would have to use his "common sense". And I don't want to give that much power to an Ed Hochuli in a Bills game that may matter sometime.

The Titans game today matters because if they lose, then lose again next week we don't beat the Chargers in a 9-7 tiebreak. If the the Chargers win their last two, which they probably will, and we lose today, which we probably will, we need the Titans to finish 9-7 with a win today and a loss next week. Simply put, you want the Titans and Chargers to have the same result today. Either they both win. Or they both lose.

Spoken like someone who doesn't understand the tie breaking scenarios in the NFL

Probably the best case scenario assuming we lose this week is Colts and dolphins winning. That means we beat Miami next week and we are in pretty much regardless of what else happens.

Apparently the game he played against the Steelers (where Stevie dropped the ot pass) was one of the all-time greatest games ever played by a defensive lineman, according to some fancy stats. Hopefully he's back next season, but it doesn't look likely with how he was acting leaving the field yesterday.

No offense, but if that's your opinion then your opinion sucks. I want to see them in a playoff game as should any real fan at this point. Only a complete fool would hope for anything else while sitting at 8-6.

Brain fart. I meant the Titans loss today hurts us.
