VA Bills Fan

After this, the Patriots now own 55 Jets.

SCANDAL at TBD!!!

There you go boss! See Grice's classic paper "Logic and Conversation" for the general framework employed by my use of the word "true." When you speak with a sarcastic voice you are flouting the maxim of manner ("avoid obscurity of expression"). When you flout a conversational maxim, and you are assumed to be a cooperative conversation partner, it is assumed that you are trying to communicate something other than the literal meaning of your words in an indirect way. Of course, this is the wrong inference, but unless people knew this habit of yours they couldn't help but making it. In such a case you are taking advantage of the fact that the meaning that you cause people to falsely believe is deniable, so you are being deceptive. If on the other hand you are with your friends who know this habit of yours, and they are not deceived, then it is just that your circle has a rather ornate and perhaps exclusive way of calculating conversational implicatures.

I'm a jersey guy - pulling for Barrington to make the squad and I'll be rocking his jersey.

You're right, good call -- I'll be coming home for Bucs and Pats so hopefully my doom and gloom will be proven wrong.

I love how people try to assess "how much of a fan" someone is haha. Bills and Syracuse hoops are the only things I care about sports wise and I consider myself a HUGE fan. I had a little fun with my low expectations and shared it. Maybe I'll be a better fan if I post 33K times in chat rooms, blinded with optimism.

You predicted a Browns like season.

Dang tough crowd --

agree on coaches and I hope you're right about Darby

haha "we have the FO now based on player feedback" -- like that's the gold standard. I was at least trying to bring a little humor to the mix, not lunacy.

Not upbeat about making playoffs, but our direction. CB and LBs worry me outside of glaring QB shortcomings. But our talent should keep us in most games -- need the coaches to bring it together. 2018 we gotta make it. Now calm down everyone.

Love this team, staff and direction. Just having some fun lighten up.

You're right - 6-10 baby. My mistake!

Hope this is wrong fellas

Week 1 vs NYJ: bad vs worse. Tyrod throws for 225, runs for 100. Shady breaks off a couple long ones. The Jests turn it over 5x. Expectations in western NY immediately get way out of hand. W 33-9 Week 2 @ Carolina: McDermott returns home, and gets drubbed. LB corps immediately exposed as Cam spreads the field and runs for 90 yds. The Panthers go nuts with screen passes, converting several 3rd and longs. Big day for Carolina TEs -- which will become a theme for the season. L 31-13 Week 3 vs Denver: a grinder of a game. Denver D is stingy against the run-heavy Bills, but the Denver O is inept against a sad Bills defensive unit. Field goals rule the day. Expectations again soar for no good reason. Upset W 15-12 in OT. Week 4 @ Atlanta: A beatdown, in every facet of the game. L 44-10 Week 5 @ Cincy: it's the game they can never win. Gutsy effort from Shady, but Tyrod limps off in the 3rd quarter, and things unravel quickly as TJ Yates reminds the world why he's not starting. L 24-20 Week 6 BYE Week 7 vs Tampa, aka the new hotness in the NFL. Winston has people on the Florida gulf coast talking playoffs. Wheels begin to wobble in earnest in WNY. Tyrod is back under center, throwing less and less accurately with each passing Sunday, due in part to a lack of competent receivers. L 33-17 Week 8 vs Oak-Vegas: Tears continue to be shed because the Bills braintrust passed over Khalil Mack, a guy in their backyard from UB, who supplants Von Miller as the most productive LB in football. Another thumping. Tyrod gets injured trying to do too much running, b/c his receivers can't get open. Sal Maiorana gets even more whiny. L 34-9 Week 9 at NYJ: TJ Yates creates QB controversy by playing well against a very bad team. Season sweep of the Jets costs the Bills the #1 pick in the draft, because they can't even be bad effectively. W 24-17 Week 10 vs New Orleans: back and forth affair with Tyrod back in action. Neither defense can stop the other: Saints in the air, Bills on the ground. Last team with the ball wins. Surprise W 34-31 Week 11 @ San Diego: The Chargers can still throw the ball. Screens and tight ends kill the weak middle of the Bills D. Shady is still beautiful to watch though. L 27-20 Week 12 @ Kansas City: once again, the Bills just can't beat these guys. Ugly game. L 19-17 Week 13 vs New England: the Bills play an inspired first quarter, jumping out to a 17-0 lead. CBS sends its #1 team to broadcast the game because Tom Brady! Jim Nantz and Phil Simms openly root for the Pats, exchanging warm hugs as Belichick makes a few simple adjustments that totally confound the Bills' coaching staff. Pats tight ends top 150 receiving yards. Gillislee runs for 180. Tyrod leaves in the 2nd quarter with another knee injury. Jimmy Garoppolo plays the 4th quarter because the Pats have already clinched home field throughout the playoffs, and CBS needs Tom Brady to hold still a while so they can worship him, zooming in on his chin dimple just so. L 44-17 Week 14 vs Indy: Why not try Peterman at QB? Here's why: L 33-10 Week 15 vs Miami: Who made this crazy schedule? Miami in weeks 15 and 17? NE in weeks 13 and 16? This just in: Jay Cutler actually isn't the worst QB in the league. Their D isn't bad, there are some WR weapons on this team, and Jayiii Ajayiiii is very good when healthy. But on this day, everything goes right. Tyrod looks really good, Shady goes off. W 34-13 Week 16 @ New England: Garoppolo, no Brady. Doesn't matter. CBS does live look-ins on this game, just to show Tom Brady wearing a knit cap and cheering for lil Jimmy. L 24-16 Week 17 @ Miami: If no one shows up to watch a football game, does it make a sound? L 31-21 So that's... 5-11.

#8. Spiller needs on OC!! Love him, but no, not his blocking. Can that be fixed?

http://www.si.com/college-football/2014/01/03/jimmy-sexton-college-football Interesting read on Sexton Jim Schwartz also a client of Jimmy

Haha indeed!

Def has crossed my mind.

Loved the play call today to Boobie (fake handoff/end around then screen/dump pass). BUT why can't they run those types of plays to Spiller??

Hope we keep Bryce. If he learns to hang onto the ball he could have a great future.

Hoping for #10. Firing the OC

I think we are due for a MNF home game vs the Pats...

Our RBs can't block/help with our dependence on the dump. Freddie missed some seemingly easy ones today, watching KMack run right by him.
