I dunno Joe...crapping on the Bills after a hard fought loss is just not a good look.

tough crowd...

This is what that means:

It was quite a time in the NFL! 1900 William C. Temple took over the team payments for the Duquesne Country and Athletic Club, becoming the first known individual club owner. 1902 Baseball's Philadelphia Athletics, managed by Connie Mack, and the Philadelphia Phillies formed professional football teams, joining the Pittsburgh Stars in the first attempt at a pro football league, named the National Football League. The Athletics won the first night football game ever played, 39-0 over Kanaweola AC at Elmira, New York, November 21. All three teams claimed the pro championship for the year, but the league president, Dave Berry, named the Stars the champions. Pitcher Rube Waddell was with the Athletics, and pitcher Christy Mathewson a fullback for Pittsburgh. The first World Series of pro football, actually a five-team tournament, was played among a team made up of players from both the Athletics and the Phillies, but simply named New York; the New York Knickerbockers; the Syracuse AC; the Warlow AC; and the Orange (New Jersey) AC at New York's original Madison Square Garden. New York and Syracuse played the first indoor football game before 3,000, December 28. Syracuse, with Glen (Pop) Warner at guard, won 6-0 and went on to win the tournament. 1903 The Franklin (Pa.) Athletic Club won the second and last World Series of pro football over the Oreos AC of Asbury Park, New Jersey; the Watertown Red and Blacks; and the Orange AC. Pro football was popularized in Ohio when the Massillon Tigers, a strong amateur team, hired four Pittsburgh pros to play in the season-ending game against Akron. At the same time, pro football declined in the Pittsburgh area, and the emphasis on the pro game moved west from Pennsylvania to Ohio. 1904 A field goal was changed from five points to four. Ohio had at least seven pro teams, with Massillon winning the Ohio Independent Championship, that is, the pro title. Talk surfaced about forming a state-wide league to end spiraling salaries brought about by constant bidding for players and to write universal rules for the game. The feeble attempt to start the league failed. Halfback Charles Follis signed a contract with the Shelby (Ohio) AC, making him the first known black pro football player. 1905 The Canton AC, later to become known as the Bulldogs, became a professional team. Massillon again won the Ohio League championship. 1906 The forward pass was legalized. The first authenticated pass completion in a pro game came on October 27, when George (Peggy) Parratt of Massillon threw a completion to Dan (Bullet) Riley in a victory over a combined Benwood-Moundsville team. Arch-rivals Canton and Massillon, the two best pro teams in America, played twice, with Canton winning the first game but Massillon winning the second and the Ohio League championship. A betting scandal and the financial disaster wrought upon the two clubs by paying huge salaries caused a temporary decline in interest in pro football in the two cities and, somewhat, throughout Ohio. 1909 A field goal dropped from four points to three.

yep, and he did it in one of the most difficult places to play on the road...impressive.

and you also see Douzable going after Sherman as he's walking away...for all you "Bills are kitties" people.

Outstanding! What will MAJBobby say? just kidding, not trolling....

so you're invoking "The Butterfly Effect"?

I thought the ref even said "unabated", wow that makes it 3 F'ups in that sequence...no whistle, no personal foul, no clock reset...

fascinating take.

you'd probably have like 5 bucks. Sadly this is the best team we've had during that span.

Not being a dick or anything, but that's an easy thing to say...who would you propose to be the solution to our problems?

So congrats on sticking with the Bills! Seriously, I know you're a true fan....good on you!

Things aren't black or white Joe. I hate they lost but respected the effort. So the way you felt about this game is the same as if we got blown out?

You forgot to add the loss of Wood, I'd give that 25%.

Maybe they know it's always the retaliation that gets the flag.

Does anyone recall all the personal fouls we got at the beginning of last year? People were complaining about the undisciplined Bills, now they complain about them being more disciplined.

The NFL is rigged!

I guess expecting adults to behave as such is too much to expect. I would appreciate people reporting violations of TOS so I can deal with it. I honestly can't read every single post, but I do deal with things I see or are reported. If people want a heavy handed approach I am certainly able to accommodate them.

The only one I disagree with is #4...we had 167 yards rushing, over 6 yards per attempt (26).

not 777-0? Improvement!
