[Incomplete Title] As an admitted McDermott detractor

*****. You must have been watching a different team. Both our offense and defense sucked under Ryan. -
[Incomplete Title] As an admitted McDermott detractor

Again, not much you can do about ticky tack calls. And as for the other 31 teams, the average number of penalties for BOTH teams combined in an NFL game is 13. Bills had more than that themselves the past two weeks. They were mostly bad calls. Nobody else gets flagged as much as Buffalo and I don't believe it's because they are committing that many more penalties, they just get called more. Jets O-Line was holding all day today. How many calls did we get? -

UMM yes it is true. We were absolutely horrible under Rex Ryan and Doug Whaley. It will take years to fix how badly they screwed this team up. -

I think a lot of the penalties are ticky tack ***** that only gets called against us. Not sure how many we had today, but the past two weeks refs called more penalties agains the Bills than the NFL average for BOTH teams in a game. Most of those penalties were ***** calls. I think all coaches make tactical mistakes. Winning coaches get a pass, but they all make mistakes. Just my opinion, but I tend to be an optimist. I believe he and Beane were the first solid HC and GM hirings in a very long time. I'll give them at least two more years before conceding defeat. -

The coach gets a pass because the team sucks. He and Beane are building a winner and you can't do that in one offseason. McDermott is a solid coach and this team will be fine. I give them two more years and hopefully we will have the foundation to be winners for a very long time after that. -

He's a good coach. We have a ***** team. I give him and Beane two more years. This team was a disaster both offensively and defensively when they took over. We are getting better, but just not good enough yet. O Line is still a mess. Hopefully they address that and WR in the offseason. -
Week 14: Bills vs. Jets Postgame
xsoldier54 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Saw that one coming. Offense was too inconsistent all second half and Jets were moving the ball easily. It was only a matter of time. Why we're 4-9? Wasn't like it was gonna make any difference if we won. Last two weeks were both winnable games, but we are just not good enough. -
Bills fans thoughts on our meltdown this year?
xsoldier54 replied to Ice bowl 67's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's not a "meltdown". The team just isn't good enough to win yet. They lucked out last year and got some help to make the playoffs. This is a rebuild of the entire team and it takes more than one year. I have complete confidence that the team is headed in the right direction. -
It was pretty bad. It started with the phantom PI and Roughing the passer calls on the same play, giving Miami a First Down and keeping their drive alive on the first score. Neither was a penalty, but they called both and it got worse from there.

Dolphins 21 Bills 17 Postgame Thread
xsoldier54 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This game was a disgrace. Last week and this week have to be two of the worst officiated games I have ever seen and of course both involved the Bills. -
As a fellow Catholic, I too kneel to pray, not to protest. Of course they have the right to do it and that is why we served. You're right about that. Because you CAN do something doesn't mean that you SHOULD however. If you don't have a problem with it, then that's great. I do and so do millions of other veterans. There is an established protocol for the playing of the anthem and it does not involve kneeling in protest.

As a fellow veteran, I respect your opinion, I just happen to have a different one. Of course they have a right to do it. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean that you should. You're wrong about the reason people don't go to games though. I have fellow veterans that are friends, some of which were season ticket holders who will not only no longer not buy tickets or go to games, they won't even watch. And that's just in my little circle of friends. The same thing is going on all over the country. Millions of us find it disrespectful. If you don't, then great, that's your right.
